Max Saga: Escape From Skull Dungeon

Game: Doom II Year: 2014 Port: Limit-removing Specs: MAP01 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Mike MacDee aka "Impie" idgames | onemandoom 

Mighty Max was a 90s toy property that was basically action-adventure themed Polly Pocket for boys. I had a bunch of these growing up, but I didn't have Skull Dungeon. Anyway, you (Doomguy, or maybe Max) have been cursed to wander through horrific backdrops for eternity, in this case stumbling into Austria during World War II.

If you've already played MacDee's most popular work, Strange Aeons, then you might recognize the layout of this map. Mike took a few of his previously-released solo Doom II levels and repurposed them for some of the eldritch holdings for SA's E5... more on that later. This is a fun, adventure-style Doom II level in a mansion format that you can explore for its quirky secrets.

Nate Huang (PO’ed Interview)

With special appearance by Brian Yen! After years of being a die-hard fan of PO’ed on the Sony Playstation, I finally got the honor of talking to the awesome and talented Nate Huang of Any Channel, the creative team behind the most bizarre first-person shooter in gaming.  He shares his thoughts and experiences on Any Channel, PO’ed, and the game design process in general.  We also get a bonus appearance by Any Channel chief, Brian Yen!  Special thanks go out to Dan Robbins, another Any Channel employee, who hooked me up with Nathan’s email and made this interview possible.

69 - Creepy Cooking Staff Make an SCP

Allen initiates a subtly-hostile takeover of UCA as he and Mike recruit David to make the former podcast into a recurring segment. Their quest this time is to create a SCP idea based on listener prompts. What horrible creation will they concoct, and is it any worse than what Future David ends up making everyone hear this episode?

36 - "Ticci Toby"

Technically this is the third time this “icon” story has popped up in David’s life, but it’s finally the one that gets pinned down and recorded for posterity, with a little help from Mike MacDee. Does Toby Rogers suffer from the same terrible cliches as his fellow Creepypasta brethren?

“Ticci Toby” is credited to Kastoway. Read along here.

Chasm: The Rift

Ambiguous alien fiends known as the Time Strikers have begun an invasion of present-day earth (circa 1997) from across the space-time continuum. They’re changing the past, playing with our nukes, and making a general nuisance of themselves. The government figures maybe somebody ought to do something about these pests before they break the planet or something, so they call the guy from Quake to save the day.

He doesn’t pick up, though. So they call you instead.

Your Weekly Kusoge

Nerves of Steel

Usually when someone makes a disastrous decision, they learn something from it: that way they make less disastrous decisions in the future. Imagine if your best friend got caught dealing drugs, went to jail, got out, and then instead of doing something less illegal, he decided to rob a bank next. You would lock him in an asylum and throw away the key.

Rainmaker Software had the same backwards mindset in 1995. Feeling they hadn't yet embarrassed themselves enough with Isle of the Dead, Rainmaker followed it up with the even more abysmal Nerves of Steel.

Yes, even more abysmal than Isle of the Dead.

45 - "Boothworld Industries"

Another banterclass episode wherein David, Allen and Mike talk about a bunch of stuff, eventually read the story, and then talk about more stuff. This might not be the one for you if you want a simple straight read, but for those who like hearing asinine conversation, this is the one for you.

"Boothworld Industries" as a whole is credited to Christopher Bloodworth. Read along here.

An Interview with Mike MacDee

A cartoonist at heart who eat up visual art forms like candy. Know more about Mike MacDee…

JR: Tell us about yourself. How would you describe yourself?

Mike: An idiot savant.  Also a freelance author, cartoonist, and game designer.  Mostly an idiot, though.  Oh, and if you enjoy a fine cigar with me, we’ll probably be best pals.

  JR:When did you first realise you wanted to be a writer? Who…
