EPISODE 301:DOOM GENERATION : With Special Guest HUGO MARTIN

We've been playing first person shooter games for years now. "Grand Theft Auto," "Call of Duty," "Halo," "Resident Evil," are all games that have seeped into the general pop cultural landscape.  We watch others play these games online, as spectators, as fans, as a new form of entertainment.

 

All of these games would not be possible without the innovative one-two punches of "Castle Wolfenstein" and its more massive cousin "DOOM."

 

FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ starts season three with a veritable bang bang. Not only do we get to discuss the latest "DOOM" incarnation, "DOOM Eternal," but we get the badass that directed it.

 

He is the Game Director at id Software where he made "DOOM Eternal" which is published by Bethesda Softworks.  The game won Best PC Game and Best Action Game at the 2019 Game Critics Awards. It was nominated  for Game of the Year, Best Action Game, Best Score and Music and Best Audio Design at the 2020 Game Awards. 

 

We are very excited to feature heralded nerd junkie Hugo Martin on this episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ.
