Diecast #295: Haunted Router, Doom Eternal, Graveyard Keeper


These are strange times indeed. The news changes by the hour, it rarely agrees with itself, and everyone has a different story. We’re either getting to the end, or it’s only just begun.

I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m just keeping my head down and writing. Hope you’re all safe out there.

Show notes:

00:00 How is isolation going?

How’s it going out there? Life as usual? Sheltering at home? Working while everyone else shelters?

14:04 Router crashes IE crashes laptop

I look forward to hearing your theories.

26:36 Internet and Napster

And then we talked about this for some reason.

30:37 Doom Eternal – final thoughts

‘Salright I guess. Had fun out of 10.

33:50 Watch Dogs: Not Even When Free

I suppose I could use this as an excuse to link to Campster’s video again, since he pretty much sums up all my gripes with the game. Also, I’m glad I didn’t play all the way to the end. Ugh.

37:52 Graveyard Keeper

45:50 UE Viewer

What an interesting project.

52:13 Mailbag: YouTube views

Dear Diecast,

This one is for Shamus, mostly . . . I stopped by your Youtube channel and was startled to discover that your “This Dumb Industry” videos had gone from having around 5-10k views each to having 50-200k. Wow! Big deal! What happened?!

53:43 Mailbag: Thief 2: 20th Anniversary

Hi!

It’s 20th Anniversary of Thief 2 The Metal Age this week, and I’ve finished replaying it last week. And I saw some videos on the topic. So it got me in the mood. Outside of Hitman standing proud and tall, other great stealth series are, at best, dormant, while in other games stealth is treated as a shallow option to explosive violence (Dishonored / Assassin’s Creed / Uncharted). There are few indie titles (Aragami or Swindle), but nothing that makes crowds speak about them. I want to ask Paul (for a change), what’s his opinion on why there’s practically no pure stealth games these days?

Best regards, DeadlyDark!

56:37 Bonus: RPG elements in Doom

Deadly Dark also asked an extra question:

P.S. Ok, here’s the question for Shamus. What’s your opinion on quote on quote «rpg-elements» in Doom ‘16 and Eternal?

57:52 Mailbag: Star Trek Picard

Shamus & Paul,

Now that the first season is complete, I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on Star Trek: Picard.

From Sam
