You know, it really is. The first level alone has you infiltrating a cathedral under cloudy night skies and clubbing those hilarious two-headed orc things while smashing stained glass windows for magic vials. It’s basically a Dio album. I need to revisit Heretic as I think I only played it...

Hot damn do I love Doom. I’m about halfway through The Dark Ages, and while Eternal was far less my jam than 2016, parts of it were better (namely Mick Gordon’s sick tunes). Aesthetically this game is like Hexen and Doom had a baby, and while I loved the OG Hexen (I’m old), a bit of this game...

No, but you have me intrigued. Any recommendations?

I think it looks pretty good, and although the combat looks like a blast, I hope there’s some decent exploration. I loved finding all those dumb little enemy figures in the last two games. From what I’ve heard of the soundtrack, I’m impressed. Not sure if anything can touch Mick Gordon’s BFG...

Whatever you subgenre Opeth as, I’d take them over “traditional” death metal (e.g. regular metal with growls) any day. I need that prog shot in my veins! The only tr00 death metal band that I actually like is Amon Amarth, although I’m sure someone will correct me and label them melodic Swedish...

Eternal frustrated the hell out of me on the easiest difficulty; I couldn’t imagine playing it on nightmare. Looking forward to Dark Ages?

He’s such a troll, I love it.

It’s not his range or abilities that I dislike, but the quality of his voice. Compared to Bruce and Dio, his voice is thin-sounding.

The Beatles are incredibly hit or miss for me. For every Helter Skeletor or Here Comes the Sun, there’s three or four songs that bore me to tears. I’ll respect their musical diversity and songwriting, but I’ll rarely actively listen to them. KISS is truly awful to my ears. If there’s a...

Almost all of your complaints are fixed in Ragnarok. The story is bigger, the realms are more vast, and most importantly, you can go to all nine of them. It’s hard for me to get a frame of reference since I never played the original trilogy, but I enjoyed both 2018 and Ragnarok very much. The...

I do understand this feeling a bit, particularly with Alan’s sections. The game is far more appealing to me as Saga, as I prefer a more “grounded” story and detective-type stuff. Wake’s sections absolutely are swarming with confusing plot points.

They definitely can get too jazzy for me; the growless albums in between Watershed and the new one have a lot of this. It’s difficult for me to find emotion in jazz, and a lot of it just seems like musical masturbation to me. That said, I don’t hear much of that on the new record at all. Yeah...

I think I’m one of the few people out there who prefers Doom 2016 to Eternal. The latter just seemed far more, I dunno, goofy. Alan Wake 2 is a slow burn for sure. If you’re expecting a modern Resident Evil clone or even something like the Silent Hill 2 remake you’ll be disappointed; the game...

Honestly I think that entire album is near perfect. If I had to pick the weakest (aside from the opener), they’d be Behind the Veil and Along for the Ride, but I still love them all. On this we agree. One thing I do love, though, are the numerous riffs in harmonic minor. Such a cool sound that...
