Escape From Mount Stupid: id Software

played doom back in 94 still playing it today have got it for almost every console ive had including snes and gameboy advance or maybe it was the ds i cant rember.

They didn't invent FPS.

id is awesome, or it's certainly created a few awesome fps games from my past, but I don't think Rage is quite up there.

I didn't think Doom 3 was quite up there either to be honest.

In fact, for me personally I think things slowly started dropping off after Quake.

They'e always made very good fps games but I think Wolfenstien 3D, Doom 1/2/etc and the original Quake were them at their very best.

Mind you, even Quake started one negative trend that continues to this day with it's mostly brown/gray textures...

I still play Commander Keen, and it frustrates the HELL out of me. So brutal and hard.

`hp %120, FTW

P.S.

Your research sucks BRO. It prounced ID Software not ID Software!!!

The people who made ID Software what it is have all left or been forced out to steal their stock in the company. John Romero (created the term deatchmatch), Adrian Carmack (who invented and sculpted many of the doom characters) and others. Google Adrian Carmack and see how the fucked him out of the company. There are amazing pictures of him on John Romero's webpage showing him sculpting the original doom characters such as the baron of hell. I believe John Carmack has sold out completely and is in it for the money. He is the last man standing. He deserves his money and lack of true friends.

RTCW = best id game ever and is also the best online MP game as well. imo

played DOOM 3 in my 30's and it gave me terrible nightmares. definitely do not want to play the remake.

Doom 3 was before Quake 4... failed at your research there.

Doom. That bring back memorys.

Unreal Tournament was definately the first arena multiplayer based game. and a much better one

unreal tournament is definately the first arena styled multiplayer based game.... and a muchhhhh better game than quake 3 arena was, especially considering quake 3 was trying hard to be unreal tournament! over all the gameplay, graphics, and multiplayer were far superior on UT

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. It was good to reminisce about the good ole days of gaming.

Anyone remember when ID made games that were not garbage corridor shooters? OOPS sorry. anyone remember when ID made games that weren't Rage?

I still have wolfenstien. remember the secret level with the ghosts?

quake 3.... ate years of my life playing it with an old friend.

Great mini-documentary! Unfortunately, Rage was... meh... :(

Nice vid. Played DooM al lot ....and still playing ;-)

great video article, you should have talked more on the Rage game, i am sure that much of the fellow players did not tried it yet. My favorite: Doom 1

Love that quote. "Masters of a genre that others have milked dry."

Doom 2 is my favorite. I just hope DOOM 4 does not become a game with "new school" rules.

yeah I couldnt believe it when that guy said RTC Wolfenstein was only average! the game was a trip! it was long, graphics were excellent (for the day) and it played good, story was cool-remember the bit at the beggining? "Heinrich-your rein of terror must end..."...that was cool...

the only way some gamers could cope with the horror of it all was to modify the gun mounted flashlight to look like a hello kitty logo .... aww thats better ... *unknown noise*....ahhhhhhhhhhh....guns blazing........ loved that part :)

I don't know if this was mentioned already, but Unreal Tournament offered much of the same ideas as Quake 3, and it's release date was, to my knowledge, a few days prior.

Doom is the BEST id software game, hell, its the best game of all time!!!! Rage was OK, some flaws are there, but damn, it uses id tech 5 engine *_* cant wait for Doom4 =)

@JOKER677 It's the world of gaming that would have been...DOOMED.

Wonder what would've happened if Doom never showed up...

"Pretty average" Return to Castle Wolfenstein? Has this guy even played it? It was a masterpiece

"research yo!" haha

I miss the modem handshake sound.....haha. Where is my 33.6. My favorite ID game is wolfenstein. Great show!

favourite would probs be Quake 2 for PS btw.

Im so upset return to castle wolfenstien only got a "there was the average.." i loved that game, up until half life 2 i used to play it after i completed whatever game i'd saved up and bought that month because it was AWESOME!

Favourite id game would probably be Doom 3 for many reasons. The nostalgic feeling of seeing old Doom enemies, and being the first Survival Horror game I played. Having said that, I did have an awesome time playing RAGE. Shame it wasn't better recieved.

Machinima's All Your History already covered this, and did it much better.

I wouldn't really call PC gaming before Doom "all about solitaire and minesweeper". We had gems like Dune II and Wasteland.

Thought Rage was excellent, wish they'd hurry up with an expansion pack or sequel, there's very little ID can do wrong imo which is probably a good thing given the eternity they make us wait between games

I want a sequel to Quake 1. Quake 2 was fun, but its story and monsters were completely unrelated.

@cynicalundead hahaha, this made my day.

Wait, Escape From Mount Stupid is the new name for the show? LOL I love it!

Hey this is just an old video re-titled! And "Escape from Mount Stupid!?" I can't believe this is what they went with! I saw @dannyodwyer talking about this on twitter yesterday, but I thought he was "bluffing." << LINK REMOVED >>

Doom series are awesome, I love the music from first & second one

Rage is a dissapoiting
