Blake Stone is a game I never played back in the day. I didn't even play through Aliens of Gold until last year despite having the game on Steam since 2013 when it came free in the Apogee Throwback Pack after I pre-ordered ROTT 2013.  When I said "What the fuck is a Blake Stone," I meant it.This is all before diving into... uh... Slayers X, I think? The new release schedule is funky and my minimal attempts to get an early review code for Boltgun (which I've pre-ordered) have not worked out, so that will happen when it happens. Then I saw that HROT got a full release and I'll be damned if I let that boss level of Episode 3 go undiscussed on this channel. I have a playthrough of Slayers X recorded so that's probably the next video, followed by Boltgun, followed by one last HROT video, and I'm expecting to get all of these out during June. Maybe. We'll see. glhf,

I have been waiting for this day for a very very long time. Thanks Civvie

YukoValis

I actually played this long before I played a doom game. Well at least the first episode. That one came free.

Raul Campos

Thanks as always for these entertaining videos, Civvie.

Mario_bland

We gonna learn today (what a blake stone is)

Steven Wilson

I was thinking the same thing about this lol

Burt Fuckman

So you're telling me Blake Stone is really just Dick Danger meets Kyle Katarn... in the past? Our past, but the game's future? I still don't get it.

Alyxx The Rat

As a huge Blake Stone fan, thank you for covering the games. And for explaining perfectly why I can't stand Planet Strike as much.

LaNoLa

So this is a Blake Stone

Ilkka Karppinen

Ah, thank you - now I’m happy I played the shareware back in the day, and _only_ the shareware. 😃 Good stuff! Chad Feldspar had me chuckling, and with BSG 2003 it’s always bothered me: is it FRACK or FRAK? Oh, and it’s such a missed opportunity that Grace Park’s character wasn’t male… you could have replaced Edward James Almos(t) with Boomer.

Valora Inverse

Well, now I know what a Blake Stone is. Good times, love the running name change gag and the accent bits. RIP to them for the release timing tho, ouch.

John Labor

I 100% imagine that the inspiration for the boss was Robert Loggia.

November Delta

As a kid, most of my time spent in this game consisted of zooming in on my map to find secret walls and accidentally shooting informants. Truly halycon days. Thanks for covering this, man!

Ruby Ranger

Dammit Civvie, I never thought to think about damage output with the PDU vs ammo consumption. I just stuck with the RAW for the whole game to try and limit ammo use. Great video as usual, surprised but happy to see you enjoyed Dick Marble more than I did. I thought the first half of the game was brilliant and the second half was only so-so. But man....Planet Strike really doesn't look all that fun. Kinda glad I skipped it.

TekWar reference just in time for your Tekwar video.😂

Peter gommer

editing and production seems way improved. irealy liked the dungeon sections

Ruby Ranger

Civvie was the original TekWarrior, none of this would be possible without his sacrifice

matt

what's the sound effect for the crawler beast / giant rat dying? "eeeeeEEEWWWW?" Also we had the blake stone shareware on our computer growing up, and those little item pickup fanfares are burned into my brain, and I basically feel like you made this episode just for me, thank you, love you civvie. 💝

Dénes Hliva

Some of those sound really familiar from keen episode 4-6

Zero Fuchs

One of those games I only ever touched the shareware for and yet am still inexplicably hyped to see a video of. Thankee kindly.

Sabowie

Blake Stone < BLOOD

Sabowie

All fps < BLOOD

Sabowie

Blood Civvie...more BLOOD....

Denny Giesbrecht

Never heard of this game except for this show, and now I know why. I love the DOS videos and this one is no different!

Brouzouf Jones

Wanted to like PS more than AoG back in the day, due to the better graphics and 'non-linear' progression. Couldn't really do it, AoG was more fun.

pig0gre

Chasm drops on switch, and now this? Man my Friday fuckin rules

Jaeger Elijah

Another awesome blast to the past, Civ. While I am a Warhammer nerd and kind of excited by the idea of a Boltgun video, I can only hope that it's worthy of a video. I don't want another repeat of "Forgive Me Daddy" (Yes it has a nice style, but it's pretty dull).

Parallax Abstraction

Hey Civvie. I've been trying to get a press code for Boltgun as well, but Focus Entertainment is notoriously hard to get a hold of. The developers, Auroch Digital, have a press contact you can find at the bottom of https://www.aurochdigital.com/about. Might be worth trying them. Hope this helps.

BLAKE STONE and HROT, my dreams come true!

a19fox

finally we now know what a blake stone is

Ilia Loukine

They really dropped the ball on the Boltgun review copy. I was *this* close to preordering but thought I'd wait. Civvie's stamp of approval might have pushed me over the edge.

Torcularis

Blake Stone's a pretty good game. I mean, it's great as long as it doesn't involve plasma aliens/orbs or avoiding killing informants.

Bea

may chad feldspar live on!

TurboShark

Praise be upon Vandorra and her uncensored life giving quad titties. Also Hammer looks fuckin weird...

Michael Cox

Got done watching it! What a time to be alive seeing that game again since all this time. Civvie, when are we going to see you do Doom VR? Not talking about that crappy Doom VR, but old school Doom on VR.
