Playing Dread Ep. 10: DooM + Wolfenstein 3D

After a way-too-long hiatus, Playing Dread is back, and we're looking at a big one for our tenth episode. Just in time (and by that, I mean 3-months after the fact) for DooM: The Dark Ages, we look at the original, 1992 release of DooM. We discuss its history, its place as a horror-action game, and Lamont's aversion to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. There's something for everyone, really!

We also talk so much about Wolfenstein 3D, this may as well be considered our episode of Wolfenstein.
