Quake (Zero Punctuation) 

Um sweetie that's a simile.

HA!

Yea. They were supposed to get Trent reznor to do the music for the game. I don't know if that wound up ever happening. But it's not just an in joke, they were working together.

musicalbacon2 It did happen. Trent Reznor did the soundtrack and all sound effects. By the way: the ranger's voice, whenever he "grunts" and whatnot, is actually Trent's voice. You can look it up, if you want. :)

Yep well it was the box of the nails, and had NIN (can't do the reversed N sorry); and it was an Easter Egg, because Trent Rezner (sorry if I misspelled) was from Nine Inch Nails, and he did the music for Quake. Which was fucking kick-ass!

Remove "from" and change "was" to "is" and you get "Trent Reznor is Nine Inch Nails". This is still true. When recording, he does everything. In tours, he uses a variety of performers to make up the rest of the band.

Too bad QuakeC is a major pain in the arse.

@@Saavik256 Yea it's a struggle going back to QuakeC. It was a great introductory language though, and as a middle-ground scripting language, it was pretty awesome for its time.

What field are you in if you don't mind my asking?

@@apothos666I'm a software engineer for a sports simulation company. I've also done software in civil engineering (water modelling), internet service (UI for managing all the equipment and checking signal quality), healthcare (UI, billing, etc), and video games (which is an awful industry that treated me really poorly). I'm not qualified to work in most of those industries, except that I'm really good at c++ and a smattering of other languages. The experts in their field at the company could tell me what they needed the software to do (and help me with the related science, math, industry jargon, etc), and I worked with them on the software until they were pleased with the results. Developing a widely-useful skill really opens doors!

Update: He's written two more (that I know of), Differently Morphous and Will Save the Galaxy for Food. Also with audiobooks read by him

JAAAAAAM

Hah!

Update to the Update: He's a sequel to Will Save the Galaxy for Food, it's called Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash

@@brainsorbet2853 Especially now after Dorian.

Penningtontj For me too.

After replaying Mission Pack 1, yes. It is ABSOLUTELY true.

It's too funny

They cut out the closing credits, which a had a caption saying this other monster (the Shambler, I think) can get triple-fucked with a side of bacon.

yep. me to... me to

I got feels.

Don't remind me. *Weeps while listening to Gabe rant about education from a teacher's perspective*

This reminds me, they were very close to finishing Resident Evil 4 - Maybe he could finish it and review it.

Genius, bro. Genius. You have my respect.

Amazing

That was a bug they kept it.

Tdays kids in school just get jumped on by someone with a rocket launcher

Hes right as well

I am overstimulated, stupid, and have ADHD, but I never touch energy drinks

@@callumferguson1834 He's not, though! Millenials have still played shareware. Now, genzee on the other hand... Oh geez, poor kids. Good thing they had their Minecrafts and such, because otherwise their version of "pay money for more game" is ingame microtransactions. Nobody deserves that.

@@abdulmasaiev9024 haha poor zoomers

I had to pause and rethink my life a little bit, but then got distracted by the comments section.

i never notice that

Is there *any* ambient game score better than Quake?

Agree.

@@gracefool Portal.

rockah12 well there were about 4 Doom novels,and they were quite good so it could work!

That would indeed be bizarre because there's preciously little story or narration.

@@crashfalso They were sort of ok.

Just describe the levels but through in the word "cyclopean" every so often

walking brain on a stick

Probably a bit of both...

They do streams from now and then.

Melvin Langston Didn't know there was escapist twitch (or wherever they are) channel.

If I remember correctly they split it all up into a load of channels dedicated to things, well the ones that escapes yahtzee's murder spree at least

Creeperzone9 That sounds more like it, thanks!

Yeah, besides, a lot of the brown dreariness comes less from an artistic choice and more from a 256-color palette limitation. And you can't blame Half-Life for excessive use of cutscenes or linearity in modern FPSes, something Yahtzee stated before, so why blame Quake for the obsession with painting everything in grays and browns? For me at least, using muted color choices create an atmosphere is a bit like eating out with your friends at Taco Bell; it can be really good if you do it carefully, but overindulgence makes it incredibly easy to turn everything you see into diarrhea.

Quake has a lot of color going for it if you look around, brown is prevalent, but as said it does aim for a certain theme, you can't quite have a game be vibrant and cheerful like Super Mario 64 if what you want to portray is dark and grungy gothic horror environments.

Also Quake gave us Team Fortress in 1996. Hell most of the Quake Mods were amazing, there was a D&D one and a SuperHero one that I still remember.

Like being in the festering, fetid bowels of ancient, infernal machinery.

It's up now

bollocks out for harambee

There's that and the fact that their website and video player are complete shit. I just wait the week

I know this is a very old comment but that's sick. Wonder how that works on a technical level though? Cause CD data is stored sequentially, so I guess it tells the CD reader to ignore everything before the bits that contain the soundtrack?

Why is 04:40 at 0.75x speed so funny

www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/116922-No-Mans-Sky-Review

it's suitably scathing

I believe the website is down, lol. Another Critic Ddosd because of his opinion.

How immature and pathetic.

it would be funny if he said he was working on it and put it off for almost 6 years.

hello to you too

I came here to see this comment

Amante I use it on Halloween to scare all the kids.

was it the track that's just him breathing with his mouth open for 7 and a half minutes? which porno was this?

certainly cut a little deep, hahaha. sometimes he reaches for his jokes and sometimes he fucking nails it and i always get blindsided when he does

Parse, not pass.
