Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the video gamers podcast.

It's time for the most metal of episodes, the most metal of deep dives, and the most metal

gaming conversations you've ever heard.

If you can't tell, today we're covering Doom the Dark Ages, perhaps the most metal

doom we've ever seen.

Does it live up to its name, or is on par with doom eternal or perhaps even better?

On today's episode, we're going to find out. But first, some introductions are in order.

I am your host Josh and joining me, he's an aspiring Slayer.

Nope, nope, wait, that's the difficulty level he played on.

It's Ryan.

Oh, man, I was going to come in with like a rock ballad, like metal.

And now I just feel so broken.

Broke inside.

Glad I could crush your soul once again, Rod.

That's fine.

And joining us, he would like us to address the practicality of a chainsaw shield

and keep saying, I mean, how do you catch it, though?

It's John.

As somebody who grew up as both a fan of Captain America and Warhammer 40,000 where chainswords are a very prominent piece of arsenal, I approve.

I have no such questions at all.

I just assume the thing works.

You know, it works all right.
