February 10, 2021 The Best Designed Level in Doom - DOOM 34: They Will Repent
We discuss “They Will Repent,” the fifth level in episode 4 of DOOM (1993)! While it’s underwhelming in regards to challenge, we all agree that this level is designed fantastically! From the river of blood to the ACTUAL BUILDING feel, we can’t get enough. But does that turn things around for the final episode, or are we still over DOOM?
And we discuss the Sonic the Hedgehog shake-ups! New voice actors! New show! But Robotnik abides.
Speaking of Sonic, Yuji Naka & Naoto Ohshima’s new game, Balan Wonderworld, has released a demo and Andy gives his thoughts on the gameplay.
Then, we discuss the WB Nemesis System Patent! Alanah Pearce recently discussed on her show the potential pitfalls of the system being patented and we give our takes on the issue.
And finally, we quickly talk about Godzilla Vs. Kong and what we expect from the behemoth brawl!
All this AND MORE in a colossal episode of One Stage at a Time!

February 03, 2021 DoomGuy Destroys His Perfect Hole - DOOM 33: Unruly Evil
We discuss the easiest level in episode 4 of DOOM, Unruly Evil! A very short, very inoffensive, nothing bad but nothing particularly good stage. We discuss how a level like this works in the game and how it could be improved upon. And we speculate on the one truly interesting aspect of the level: the hole. We speculate on how DoomGuy would handle Junji Ito’s classic comic, The Enigma of Amigara Fault (though we can’t remember the name).
And we must be a little stir-crazy from this pandemic because we once again bring up everyone’s favorite gecko, Gex!
Then we discuss the ongoing WallStreetBets, Gamestop, and Robinhood situation! How have things changed and where do things go from here?
We also speculate on G4 and how it’s going to do. Aaron does not care.
Other topics today: The Muppets, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Hot Topic, The Internet, Sam’s 3D TV, and MORE!

January 27, 2021 Doom's Dumbest Secrets - DOOM 32: Sever the Wicked
Sever the Wicked has dozens of secrets, and we hate them all. We take on E4M3, from DOOM (1993), Thy Flesh Consumed!
Class A war criminal Shawn Green designed a level that gives us some confounding and annoying secrets. He sics shotgun snipers on us and teleports us all over the place!
We also talk about DOOM Eternal and our feelings on the gameplay. Also, Aaron can't handle it without playing on baby mode.
We take a dive into Shawn Green as best we can, but the man is a mystery wrapped in an enigma!
This is one of the first DLCs, and we ask whether there is ANY good DLC?
And y'all remember old school Adult Swim? Cuz we do, as we're old men, and we reminisce about our favorites!
Then we discuss the ridiculous XBox Live price hike and the fallout from it!
We also analyze /r/WallStreetBets and GameStop and the insane fiasco happening there!
And finally we celebrate Ryan Haywood getting banned from Twitch and Sasha Grey kicking ass at Doom Eternal!

January 20, 2021 Seinfeld & Friends Battle to the Death - DOOM 31: Fear
Today we take on Episode 4's secret level, Fear!
The difficulty is turned down a notch for this level and we talk about how we feel about it! We also examine the layout of the level and how it differs from previous missions! Was it originally a multiplayer map?
This is the first level of DOOM designed by Tim Willits! We discuss his career and design aesthetic. How did he join the team and avoid the wrath of John Carmack? And is he a dirty stinking liar? John Romero seems to think so! Then, finally, the question we're all wondering about - What is a pogchamp? All this AND MORE in a credit-stealing episode of One Stage at a Time!

January 13, 2021 DoomGuy Ruins the Cyberdemon's Set - DOOM 30: Perfect Hatred
We talk Perfect Hatred, the second level in the expansion, Thy Flesh Consumed, for DOOM!
And speaking of hatred, two of us were NOT fans of this level. One was. Can you guess who before we tell you almost immediately?
Then we discuss the Hades and how it takes dying in video games to a new, exciting level!
And we mourn Inside Gaming (again)! We talk about how it is that it would fall apart and the implications for another resurrected gaming channel, G4!
Then we talk speedrunning and the virtual Awesome Games Done Quick!

January 06, 2021 American McGee Steps Up the Difficulty - DOOM 29: Hell Beneath
We take on our first level designed by notorious designer, American McGee! This is also the first level of the fourth episode of DOOM, Thy Flesh Consumed, which was added years afters DOOM's initial release! We are battling our way through Hell Beneath, from DOOM!
Did we like American McGee's first go at DOOM, or was this tiny level a misfire? It's certainly challenging, but is it good?
We also talk about how American came to be a part of the DOOM team, as well as his other gaming endeavors!
