I used to get a bit (lightheartedly) annoyed when Rorie would ask about something that was literally just shown/explained, but I've started actually looking forward to it. I mean, I can't blame the guy, given his manning of the chat. I tune stuff out pretty easily as well when reading.
Now, Brad's inexperience with Doom sourceports... that's simply unforgivable. :P
Great writeup. I love that people can do things like this with games, creating, exploiting and discovering new things in the same code that countless people have known and enjoyed for years. Not to mention the next-level mastery that speedrunners demonstrate.
I'm equally fascinated by emulation and its history, especially as a big proponent of game preservation. As legally gray as they may be, it's hard to deny their importance in making sure games aren't lost to time.
Started to play this game today, but had to stop after half an hour so I could watch this. I kept having a little Vinny and Alex in my head commenting on the game's quirks as I played. Amusing, but distracting.
