I believe Gotcha is the only Romero designed level in this video.

That's a nice duster you got there. And the fedora totally works for you.

@chilibean_3:

Umm actually...the fedora was introduced in the late 1800's and the duster pre-dates that by quite a long time so Umm...actually your outfit pairing out-dates the era in which you specify.

I really hope Brad goes through the other episode too, those levels are ridiculous on ultra violence.

When you're stuck in this game, you simply need to run around and try to activate everything. They saw this early in this playthrough, yet they remain completely ignorant of the concept when it rears its head again towards the end. I'm starting to realize that the GB crew are not actually bad at video games, they are just bad at applying knowledge and adjusting their approach to problem solving.

Is there *any* way we can get Brad Muir fired and force him to work for GB?

I kid, of course.

Brad Muir was pretty great... and I love long videos because someone (I assume Vinnie) gets bored and starts messing with the tricaster

Really weird watching this after the fact when it's more or less been found.

Good God, it is maddening to see Brad replay the beginning of that level so many times without it ever occuring to him to grab the fucking Invincibility Sphere BEFORE triggering the massive ambush in that first courtyard. But, I'm only 10 minutes into this video, maybe he'll figure it out soon.

I know that the main point of playing the 360 version is to get an achievement, but I wish that Brad would have played the PC version. Mainly because of all the user created wads...I can just imagine how composed he'd be playing the lasted version of Brutal Doom!

That double barrel shotgun is the greatest weapon in a game, ever.

I'm glad that I've never played this game because if I had this would probably be incredibly frustrating to watch

that citadel thing is some fucking terrible level design, though.

Gotcha is great. I'm just picturing John Romero laughing his head off as he males "fuck you" moment after "fuck you" moment.

I disagree. Its reload time is too slow. Single-barrel is more effective.
