DESCENT DOUBLE HEADER
Added 2024-05-27 13:31:20 +0000 UTCI was not prepared.
Not just for Descent, but for the simple madness that researching Descent would bring. From the studio closures to the boomer-ass references, I only knew I was going to suffer as soon as I hit level 6. I hope the video doesn't induce too much nausea. I tried to keep the spinning to a minimum. As I say in the video I don't get motion sickness a lot from games. I mention Overload in VR being the worst offender, but I also experienced it when I played Quake 2 in VR. Speed and 1990's graphics are the worst. It's like being in a tumbling cardboard diorama with angry cyborg action figures.
A few days ago I was very happy with this video but now that I've watched it 10 times I want it off my hard drive and into your eyeballs to feed the content brainworms. There are some sections of this that were an absolute joy to make and I think you'll be able to tell which ones.
With the utmost respect,
-Civvie

2024-06-06 00:34:18 +0000 UTCA while back I mentioned you should check out Killing Time. Well Night Dive is releasing a remaster. It's a weird and unique 90s FPS that doesn't get the love it deserves.

2024-06-05 21:51:04 +0000 UTCI watched this with my 2 boys and they loved the retrospective you gave. We pulled out our Retro laptops and played several levels of D2 coop. Something I never done. Thank you.

2024-05-29 16:06:35 +0000 UTCdamn, listing NIN in the butt rock category group as avenged sevenfold and skillet... That is a burn, brought to you by the album natural born killers: This Civvie rejects me This Civvie threw me away This civvie never gave me a chance This civvie gonna have to pay

2024-05-28 16:31:05 +0000 UTCI was wondering when you’d get to the descent games

2024-05-28 05:43:10 +0000 UTCBeen a while since I saw those Descent PS1 commercials. It's nice to see Jenny McCarthy before she went nuts in the same way that a number of 1990s celebrities went nuts.

2024-05-28 04:12:24 +0000 UTCMy brother traded Witchaven 2 for Decent 2 back in the day. I have no clue what broken soul wants a Witchaven game over Decent. Unless Decent just does that to a person after a while. But Decent 2 is up there with Tie Fighter for "nostalgic acupuncture in my brain."

2024-05-27 23:33:58 +0000 UTCI bought Overload on a sale years ago, just never played it that much, maybe ill give it another try.

2024-05-27 21:31:56 +0000 UTCHunting friends in LAN using a joystick with a hat switch was revolutionary. That hat switch really makes moving around in full 360 intuitive and much easier to pull off.

Civvie
2024-05-27 18:50:35 +0000 UTCI love how, in a game filled to the brim with murder machines that would give Skynet a massive cyber boner, the worst enemy to deal with is a fucking pickpocket.

2024-05-27 18:46:08 +0000 UTCI checked like 10 minutes before you posted! I love you CV-11, thank you for another blessed day

2024-05-27 18:34:17 +0000 UTCWell now you have to play Forsaken, the n64 Descent-like from Acclaim and Nightdive.

2024-05-27 17:28:57 +0000 UTCDescent (at least the shareware version) was my very first FPS, practically my first videogame that wasn't played on a borrowed console. I remember my dad floundering around with it while my mom watched and got nauseous. Then my brother and I took over and eventually made it to the level 7 boss, which consistently kicked our asses so much that I believed it intentionally cheated to keep us from going on because it wasn't the full version. Good time.

2024-05-27 17:25:47 +0000 UTCWait... where's the expansion for D2, "The Infinite Abyss"? I had to order that bitch on the freaking phone CV-11!
Brian Rich
2024-05-27 16:51:05 +0000 UTCMan, that first boss being 7 levels deep doesn't sound right, yet the visuals of the fight and that arena are so, so familiar to me. Now I'm wondering how I managed to see that as a kid, even though I was so very bad at video games... Maybe it was off of one of my cousin's saves, idk.

2024-05-27 16:11:18 +0000 UTCi loved all 3 decent games played them with my dad in coop. and i played it with a joystick and keyboard.

2024-05-27 15:52:01 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved "Descent" back in the day and still remember the note in the FAQ it came with about how it's not "Quake".
Brian Rich
2024-05-27 15:37:57 +0000 UTCYou Sir, are a hero in my book. Not even ONCE mentioning the atrocity that was descent: underground, and only talking about Overload and the classic games. o7

Devin McIntyre
2024-05-27 14:33:59 +0000 UTCThis is it. This is the gameI've been thinking about from a hazy memory of being like 5 back in the '90s and watching my dad play some weird flying game where you're indoors and there's alien creature things and lots of projectiles. For decades I've not searched for it because I was convinced that it either didn't exist or just got lost to the sands of time. The brainworms are happy, Civvie.

2024-05-27 14:29:36 +0000 UTCAs an easily replaceable piece of serialized government property that is occasionally reminded he’s doing a good job with shiny tokens myself, I empathize with Shit Bird. Pour one out for those that came before us.
