## Summary

In this video, Benny, a self-proclaimed true nerd, plays Quake for the first time, 30 years after its original release. He explores the 2021 remaster, commenting on the game's fast-paced movement, satisfying weapons, and level design, while sharing his humorous struggles and discoveries.

- **Biosuit and Environmental Hazards** [04:04] — Benny picks up a biosuit, which he assumes allows crossing hazardous water, but later realizes it wears off, leading to a near-death experience in acid.
- **Strategy: Keep Moving** [05:39] — He advises to keep moving constantly to avoid damage, a key tactic in the game.
- **Adjusting to 1996 Rules** [06:05] — Benny notes the need to adapt to the game's fast pace, calling it 'ludicrously stupid fast.'

- **Level Completion and Missed Secrets** [09:21] — Benny completes the first level, having found only one secret out of six, and jokes about his poor secret-finding skills.
- **Zombie Respawn Mechanic** [11:19] — He discovers that zombies respawn unless they are exploded, learning to use the grenade launcher to permanently kill them.
- **Trap and Softlock** [13:20] — Benny gets trolled by a trap and later softlocks the game by taking a lift back down, requiring a reload.
- **Weapon Feel** [15:40] — He praises the weapons, stating they still feel amazing after 30 years, particularly the super nail gun and grenade launcher.
- **Rocket Launcher and Traps** [19:31] — Benny acquires the rocket launcher and notes the abundance of traps in the church level, advising to watch the ceiling.
- **Shambler Boss Fight** [22:04] — He encounters a Shambler, a large enemy, and finds the super nail gun to be the most effective weapon against it.
- **Lava and Difficulty** [25:48] — The next level introduces lava, which kills quickly, and Benny notes the level is a 'warm-up' for something worse.
- **Final Boss: Chthon** [29:36] — Benny reaches the boss, Chthon, and learns to lower the electrocution balls and hit switches rather than fighting directly.
- **Conclusion and Reflection** [31:17] — Benny defeats the first chapter and reflects that well-designed games are timeless, praising Quake's satisfying guns, level design, and enemy variety.

### Conclusion

Benny concludes that Quake is a timeless classic, proving that well-designed games remain enjoyable decades later. He plans to explore more classic 90s shooters in the future.

## Transcript

This is Benny, a true nerd and welcome to Quake, the much loved 1996 shooter which just picked up a new update 30 bloody years on. That's great news for people who are long-term fans of Quake. As for me though, I've never actually
played it before. So, I figured that yes, this might be a good opportunity to when I say original, this is technically the 2021 remaster. So, it actually like, machines, etc., etc. But okay, let's just dive straight on in. Oh, you can
tell this is a game from 1996 straight away because yes, back in these days, a shooter protagonist got a cooking shuffion. All right, no stamina bars or anything. Oh, no. We just constantly sprinted around at 40 mph for some
reason. Oh, and hello sexy. Is this like, you know, an interactive hub world that lets me select my difficulty and also levels as opposed to using a menu? Okay, for 1996 that's just cocking showing off Quake. Like coke worlds were
still pretty rare at this point. And right, this does mean potentially I can just skip straight to, you know, the Elder World. My worst nightmares come true. You know what? No. So, I've never played this before. Let's do with
Dimension of the Doomed. Walk into the slip gate. Is this platform a slip gate? Right. That platform was a slip gate apparently. Now, luckily, this being a
shooter from the '9s, it's pretty easy to get your heads around, which is you can move, as I said, about 40 mph. You can jump and you can shoot. That's basically about it, actually. So, right, just hop up here and I've immediately
failed it. Excuse me. None of that, please. None of cooking that. Right, just grab some of that. I'm already down to Oh, I'm already down to cooking 76 health. Oh, that feels bad. Also, jump. You just
immediately failing to make. Yes, a very simple jump there. Okay, that's better. Right, keep on keeping on. Hit buttons, shoot people. And do I literally have to
buttons. There is actually an interact button. Laughy cocky dah. So, right, I see you, buddy. And just take all of you out. Down you go. Oh, sorry. I thought you were already dead. My mistake. So, right, just pop round over here. hit
you, right? One hit isn't enough necessarily to kill you. Grab a lovely mag. Oh, okay. Armor doesn't block damage. It just presumably reduces it in some capacitor. So, right. Keep on and keep being on. Oh, hang on. Hang on.
Just Is that an explosive canister behind you? It was, but you were already dead, so it didn't really make much difference. Damn it. That's a person's head, isn't it? Okay. Well, that's bloody adorable. Also, okay, you just
stay up there and run back and forth, please. Will I just take you out? Okay, they're taking a long time to go down. Screw it. When we get up to you, we'll direction. There he is. We finally got over to you. So, I'm guessing someone
was someone was shooting me from over there. How accurate is my shotgun? Surprisingly accurate at quite a long range actually. This will do fine. Oh, speaking of my shotgun, I've got a nail gun and also Oh, hello. Right, just kill
gun and also Oh, hello. Right, just kill you. Grab nails. Keep on keeping on. Is this better at long range? It may or may not be, but hang on. Hang on. Oh, bloody hell. It's a good nail gun. I appreciate that. Right. Get a bridge up. Move over.
Grab shells. How many nails have I got? [snorts] Some, but not many. Hop around the corner. Take your Okay, I like the nail gun. The nail gun's my new favorite weapon. Hit a button. Two more to go. Two more switches. One, assume. So,
sequence complete. Uh, did I get health for that for some reason? Excuse me. And uh-oh. Right. You change over weapons automatically. No. No. I will admit this shotgun is firing much faster than I was anticipating. So, hang on. Was that I
got a bio suit. Does that let me cross like, you know, water or something? I'm going to assume yes. Yeah. I'm kind of used to modded you've got to like, you know, go kachchunk before it does anything again.
But no, this shotgun just sort of keeps firing forever. So, right, basically just hold down the fire button. That's how you win. So, I was about to say, is possibly. But I did just pick up Oh, hang on. My air supply biosuit thing is
wearing off. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Before my air supply wears off. Just grab [screaming] I think I might be dying. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I I may have made a mistake coming down into the acid. I thought I
had a bio suit. Sorry, there may have been a small mistake here. So, it turns water, but possibly I was when my bio suit was at full strength. Also, apparently they were cooking six secrets and I missed all of them. Okay, this
level I'm going to get Oh, blime me. Hang on. Hang on. That guy's got a chainsaw and also possibly a grenade launcher. And I've got Well, the game's giving me summer health back. Not much, right? Bare minimum. Little health top
up rounds here. Good. Check around the back of things. That's positive. back of things. That's positive. Is all the water dangerous? Is all the water dangerous? No, most water isn't dangerous. There's
some nails. Do I have infinite air? Like possibly I'm wearing a suit that gives me an air supply. It's hard to say. No, not infinite air. Anyway, keep on keeping on. Find myself some Oh, excuse me. Don't stop moving. Basically,
keep moving under all circumstances. Just don't go to that guy because you just conced grenaded me, didn't you? Also, you've given me Uhhuh. Definitely facing the wrong way there. Excuse me. Could you guys just die, please? Thank
you. Keep on keeping on. Honestly, just hold down the cooking shoot button. When it's a shotgun and the enem is, just hold down the shoot button. Keep on keeping on. This is okay. I need to adjust my brain to playing by 1996
rules. By which I mean ludicrously stupid fast. Okay, I want to be playing ludicrously stupidly fast. I need something to open that door. Do I have shotgun shells. But honestly, the shotgun seems to be doing fine, so
that's a okay. Need a key as well. So, right back the Need a key as well. So, right back the way I never mind. Can open you. Grab no health. Actually, there is a a better
shotgun I had. But like, you know, that's a Okay, just Okay, it's a Oh, there was some health back here, wasn't there? Don't go up to the chainsaw man.
there? Don't go up to the chainsaw man. Chainsaw man. Dangerous. Got it. Also, what's down here? Is that like regular water? Uh-oh. Can I break you? Are you a trap? No. I think I just go through you and
No. I think I just go through you and No. No. No. No. Oh. Uh-oh. No. No. you do get a bit of powing, don't you, good sir? Right round here. Grab some good sir? Right round here. Grab some more of you and take you out. Lovely.
We've got ourselves something. Right. Hop over to here. Hop over to here as well. Yellow vest. That's a lot of cocking armor. Now, is That's a lot of cocking armor. Now, is this water dangerous? Like, is all water
back there. Let's find out. No, most water is not dangerous. Some water is. I'm determined to find at
least one cooking. Oh, is that a secret? I found a secret. Where does this bring it, by the way? Oh, that brings me over here. Okay, that'll be more, you know, armor. But I've already got some armor, so that's fine. I found one secret. I'm
now satisfied. Right, just get over here. Don't worry about you guys. Keep on keeping on. Look out for red shootable switches. And also for Yeah, I
there's knights. They're like, you know, cool little knights with swords and stuff. Luckily, I've got a shotgun. So, honestly, I'm not too worried for you stupid losers. So, right, take you out cuz I'm shootable. More like
interactive. No, on this occasion, not so much. But I've got my health back, so that's good. Oh, speak of the devil. Okay, that opens something. Also, just check the water under all
into the water feels like a good thing to do and drop down where I wasn't What's that, by the way? Ah, I know where I am. I'm back over in this area. Okay, learn the level. That's fine. The point is that gets me, yes, a key, which
point is that gets me, yes, a key, which Oh, blime me. That's That's fine. No, no trouble, sir. So keep your distance, but also watch out for your grenades. Top up bits and pieces sneak up behind you to shoot you right in the ass. Lovely.
Yeah, many enemies stagger before they actually die then. Oh, hello. Right, faster, aren't you? So, right, just to move away. See, you just sidestep, but you can't do much. You got it. Okay, and I think that's the end. So, I found one
secret. Question is, how many did I miss? The answer is only to. Honestly, I feel better about that. Right, new level. This time I'm in much better shape. I've also got a lot of Oh, a grenade launcher.
That feels like overkill for basic zombies. Like, I'm happy with my nail gun. A light nail gun, actually. So, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ow. little bit off the top side. Okay, maybe when it's you guys, a grenade launcher
is not a terrible idea. So, right, go over to grenade launcher. Put one grenade through the missed, right? One grenade through the thing. That will presumably kill. Didn't kill you. Also, that bounced off the bar. So,
now I appear to be trapped in here. Got the nail gun. Already kind of had the nail gun to Uh-oh. Right. Almost got crushed there. Sorry. possibly abandoned some like, you know, secret areas or whatnot. Keep on keeping
on. Grab some health, murder some people, and what the [ __ ] are you? Right, there's ghosts now. Luckily, ghosts are susceptible to nails. All right, they are not as mystic as people say. Just take you out. Take you out as
well. Just keep strafing and nobody will be able to do much to you. Life is good. We only need a key before we do anything else. Mines. Speaking of which, I see a key. Just grab that. How dangerous is Oh, there's zombies
here. The water's hurting me. Water doesn't appear to be hurting me, so that's fine. I like the nail gun. The nail gun's my favorite. So, just take you out, you stupid losers. Does run out of ammo in a hurry, right? You know
what? I'm just going to blast my way through, you stupid bastards, with my shotgun. I'm increasingly suspicious. These zombies just don't stay down. They just keep getting back up again, don't they? They literally respawn forever.
So, if I just wait for you to shop again in just a second. Yeah, you never stay down, do you? Right. Don't bother with zombies. Just like, you know, work zombies. Just like, you know, work around them, etc., etc. So, okay, one
hit to knock them down, then that's it. That's so hang on. Where am I supposed to be going? I think down here, though. Uh-oh. Okay. I feel like this this is grenade launcher territory right here. So, no. Right. Grenade launcher. It does
explode if you actually hit the enemies. And if you explode the zombies, then they do die. Right, right, right, right. I now understand some enemies, you got to straight up explode them, otherwise Yeah, they're just going to keep getting
up forever. Oh, the key. Sorry, I forgot about that whole picking up the key a while back thing. So, right, this time, open gate, grab much ammo, blow up.
actually proper dead? Cuz you just falling down doesn't really mean for a bit, then you get back up again. Don't trust that, by the way. But
Oh, [groaning] hang on. Hang on. What? Okay. Feel like I just walked into a trap there. Grenade launcher for zombies. That takes out you guys. Just blew up myself there, John. There is friendly splash on this thing.
And all of a sudden, I'm hearing a lot of cocky grenades around. So, hang on. Hang on. I'm pretty sure I see right. There's probably you guys. Oh, you're above me. Sorry. Sorry. I need to get some grenades. That
wasn't above me. Okay, this is this is going to be a bit tricky. Getting some grenades on. I'm just bouncing grenades into myself. I've decided we're just going to run the gauntlet, blow you guys up, top up my health, work my way up
up, top up my health, work my way up here. There we go. Want some higher? I feel like Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Go, go, go, go, go.
there for a second. Right, I just got trolled by a game from 1996. Oh, blime me, you [ __ ] as well. Sorry, John. John, John, John, not the right weapon for the job. Okay, not the right weapon for the job. Take out
these. Okay, so just keep in mind those [ __ ] are waiting for me at the top. But okay, this time with much more armor and much more knowledge of what's coming. Right, nail you stupid bastards.
And yeah, just circle around you, hitting all of you as best. We can take one of you out, focus, fire, focus, fire on the other. Job done. Right, just don't panic. Move. Circle around them. This was 1996, meaning no enemy was
capable of. Okay. Didn't realize the lift went back down again. Could you take me back up to the top, please? I don't think you can. I think I just soft locked the game. Well, look who I saved
before I went up here to be honest. Jess, right, this time given I know Yeah, they don't see me for a second. I can get a few grenades off before they can get a few grenades off before they actually leap in. So, go go go go go go.
And I think one of you is dead already. Yep, that's nice. Hit them with the grenades and life is solid. So, right, this time don't go back down the shaft because the game gets really annoyed if you don't. Right. So,
I am so bad at finding secrets. Okay, I'm doing better at the start of the next level where you just shoot two things in the first room and that gets you some free armor. Okay, not all secrets are created equal. That one felt
very manageable or so. Oh, a bio suit. Okay, I feel like I ought to like take out you guys as quick as I can and then we probably want to get in the just get in the water anyway. Guns probably work in the water because, you know, things
were not particularly sophisticated in 1990 cocking sex. So, okay. There any secrets I should be getting? Well, there's nails. That's fine. But I feel like presumably I'm supposed to be Yes. swimming through here to get to right
you. And no, please don't stop. Stop chainsawing me. Thank you. Right, there's also Oh, hang on. Hang on. Hop up out of here. The super nail gun, you say? Right. I'm
assuming having gone through the water, this is the right way. And okay, so basically, even though this game is 30 years old, the weapons still feel cocky amazing. The super nail gun is great. The grenade launcher is great.
Everything just feels really nice to shoot and I appreciate that. So, right, will be Oh, blime me. I just got ambushed. You know what? Fair enough. That was an effective jump scare right there. Good job, random knights. So, all
right, keep on keeping on and I hear you guys as well. You are okay. The downside of yes, the super nail gun is does run out of nails. Like really cooking fast.
out of nails. Like really cooking fast. Now hang on. Pretty sure I saw you throw. Just get one. Get one cooking grenade. Okay, we got one cooking grenade through. Now I'm out of grenades. Let's just go over to the Yes.
double barrel shotgun. That's fine. John, you could have just run up to this guy and shot him. You did need to Oh, push Bon in order to in order to release ghost. Excellent. Oh, I don't trust this door, by the way.
Right. Super gun is right. Just take out you before you can explode. Oh, that's a you before you can explode. Oh, that's a grenade. Get over to here. Take out the mysterious lizard ghosts.
Go down. See? Okay. Don't trust the satanic door. Yeah, there's clearly two ways to go in here. So, one of you is going to be a secret in some way or another. Ah, hang on. This is back to where I started. So,
okay. Hang on. Hang on. Where does that key go in that case? Where was the bloody locked door? Apparently, it was here. So, right, take Apparently, it was here. So, right, take out you stupid losers. And I thought
someone was shooting at me, but no, I just ran out of my nail gun once again. shop automatically, which is a nice quality of life feature, but it goes using previously when you top up the ammo for that weapon. That is bloody
lovely. So, all right, just spin her around. Put some nails in you, you stupid loser. Speaking of which, no, The fact that Oh, excuse me. Now, Bob, the fact that, yeah, when you run out of
But when you pick up the ammo for the weapon you were using, it auto switches back. That is really nice. Damn it. Still keep on keeping on. I'm hearing a screeching up ahead. See if we can just yet make you not fire your grenade
launcher. And did I find a single secret? I definitely found at least one. Possibly just one. Also, nap off the lot of you. Yeah, just Also, nap off the lot of you. Yeah, just one. I'm so bad at finding secrets. Oh,
it's like, you know, a demonic church or something. So, okay, guys, guys, guys, guys, no trouble, please. No cooking trouble. I genuinely can't tell the and water that kills you. By the way, I
because yeah, both waters seem to be kind of Oh, hang on. Hang on. This looks like a secret. I found a secret already. All right, I actually [ __ ] found one. Okay, the point is back to the front door of the church here. Can I just walk
like these knights. These knights are not too difficult to be dealing with. So, I feel like somebody is shooting me from Uh-oh. That's going to be cocky grenades correctly. Definitely a weapon here, by the way. Oh, also there are
lots of flipping traps in this corridor. I completely missed those. Sorry. Didn't even notice those being shot from above. Are you dead yet, by the way? Okay, you know what? Screw it. Grab whatever this is. I've got a rocket launcher. I like
the rocket launcher. Oh, bloody hell. The rocket launcher is also that ceiling came down. Okay, it turns out there's a lot of cocky traps inside this church. And there also seems to be a side entrance. Okay, John, don't waste nails
on those guys. Save nails for tougher enemies. Shotgun works fine on them enemies. Shotgun works fine on them also. Yeah, super nail gun for you is fine, buddy. Yeah, that takes you down nice and easy, right? There seems to be
nice and easy, right? There seems to be Oh, no. No. Stay close enough by he wants to use his chainsaw. Then just don't get hit by the chainsaw. That feels like a good solution, too. So, right, the levels are opening up a
little bit. Question is, how do we get up to you? Like, if I just hop up to up to you? Like, if I just hop up to here, then hop across then. Okay, I was like on the right track there till I realized, oh, bloody hell is there, you
realized, oh, bloody hell is there, you bastard. So, okay, no trouble. Random little bloody mouthed creatures. I think they can't get through the door. Oh, through the door, that really works for me. Okay, back to the platforming. Just
line myself up, [clears throat] jump, and that's two secret areas. Oh, I'm and that's two secret areas. Oh, I'm doing a well today. Okay, new plan. One, watch the ceiling for traps. Two, grab the cocking rocket launcher. Three, back
out of this room and use rocket launcher to kill this bastard. All right, that joke didn't work. So, John, part one of the plan was watch out for traps. Then the plan was watch out for traps. Then you just didn't do that. So, right, Mo
upstairs, eyes on the ceiling, and don't let the knights hit you because yeah, they do hit bloody hard with their swords if they do get up to you. So, right, just take you bastards out. Watch out for Don't trust those holes.
Sorry, did not realize you were going to be there. Just keep side stepping so their grenades just go straight past you. Also, there's the super nail gun. No nails, mind. But what's going on with those holes? I do not trust those holes.
those holes? I do not trust those holes. Keep on moving up. Take out knights, etc., etc. Okay, made it to the top. There's quake symbol. There's something. co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co [ __ ]
co co co co co co [ __ ] Okay, John, now is a good time to crack out the rocket launcher. So I think that's the big dad of the I just blew myself up a bit there. Yes. Yes, I did. I think that might be like the dad of
Apparently that's a shambler, right? That's the dad of the little guys, isn't That's the dad of the little guys, isn't it? Okay, this time Yeah. So I don't hit myself with splash damage. Try the super nail gun. So here we go. around that.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Oh, yeah. Super nail gun. Turns out that was the solution the whole time. There's some more nails, by the way. Do you have
any like, you know, children floating around? Not that I could say. So, right, super nail gun kind of melts everything. And also, you can't blow yourself up by mistake. John, stop using it. Save that for like, you know, tough things. That's
fine. And Where am I now? Cuz I feel like Oh, hang on. This is the room that I came in via the side door. So, right, using that the side door. So, right, using that gold key. Can I open this door? No, I
need a silver cane. Well, that feels weird that I've got the gold key first. Oh, I've done this level in a weird order, apparently. Okay, I think all that happened because I went right first. So, I try left. I know for a fact
there's Well, I see a silver key up there. That is true. So, right. to stay close enough by you. Oh, bloody hell. I was hoping he'd just try and use his chainsaw. Now, what killed me in here last time? Was it just that thing? I
think it may have been. So, right. Watch out for them. Don't trust that mysterious hole to be honest. Either there's just another go. So, stay away from all the cooking. Oh, bloody hell. Okay. Lots of stuff. Lots of stuff. It's
traps in a row after panicking. You know what? That's to be expected under the circumstances. Yes. Right. So, I'm in the trap bit of this level. Got it.
Okay. The point is if I just Yeah. run at full speed, I can get the key, drop back down, and then we're golden. So, right, just straight through here. Straight through here as well. Ignore. Oh, bloody hell. There's There's so many
There's I can take you out cuz you're annoying me, buddy. Right. Bloody hell. Where's the Where's the way forward? Where's the Could I just jump over this? synchronized. Okay, just just just go. Just just just just sooner or later.
SOLUTION, but it's it's it sort of worked. The point is keep going up because I know the key is I thought the key was up, but oh, I'm trapped in a cooking corridor behind a lizard ghost. Excuse me. Would you mind just dying?
Thank you. Right, go over to Yes. Super thing under the circumstances. That was the wrong gun, but it worked anyway. Right, there's a bit of health and I see Right, there's a bit of health and I see you random night. Take you out. Grab
you random night. Take you out. Grab key. Drop down. Right now, just go down. key. Drop down. Right now, just go down. Go down through thing. Hit button. I've already got the next one as well. Right. Go over to next thing. Got to roof. No.
No. I thought you were already dead, you stupid bastards. Right. Try again. And now presumably right I've got the gold cur.
Oh, I don't trust this. Right. What is waiting for me down below? Just ink set. Okay, that's not so bad at all. I even got two secrets though. Turns out that I missed a three. So like as a ratio that might have been a worse than Oh, right.
roof of the church I just completely missed. Okay, small issue by the way. It would appear the next level is introducing coke lava. Just out of interest, how fast does lava kill you? Pretty fast. It also worries me this
level is called the docorn. Suggesting right, this entire level is, you know, a warm-up for something much worse. But right, I need a gold room key. I'm guessing that's a gold room key.
Meaning, okay, just loop around this level until we Yes. find a way to get back to where we started. etc., etc. Don't 100% trust. Oh, there's more than one of you, you stupid bastards. Sorry. Sorry. Didn't realize that there were
like several of you. And I think under the circumstances, I'm happy to Well, I'm already mostly cooking dead. That's no good. There's no
quarters. Not fun. Not fun at all. Can I interact with you? No. Apparently not. gone bananas. I'm just going to write run away from Uhoh. Oh, I don't No, no,
run away from Uhoh. Oh, I don't No, no, no, no, no, no. Uh-oh. There's There seems to be some spikes coming this way. And I Is there a cooking? Uh-oh. Okay, this this mission is just a straight up run
around and deal with. Do I have any cocking? A bit lacking in Right. Cocking of rockets, please. Cocking of rockets. There's Okay, this level is just basically a roller coaster. You can't just slow down and take your time cuz
stuff goes bananas. Got it. Okay, in which case, let's play by those rules. Grab a silver room key. Your way has been lit.
though. Hang on. Hang on. There's something that's sort of lit up over here. You might mean over here. I'm not sure. Right. Go this way. Okay, I'm now back at the start. Oh, hang on. Was this always open? I don't
remember. Oh. Oh, [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] There's there's ju just just just cocking. Just cocking around. So, right. Just jump and completely fluff that again. Anytime now. Any cocking. Just just just
Anytime now. Any cocking. Just just just jump. Just keep jumping. No, no, no, no, jump. Just keep jumping. No, no, no, no, no, no. Everybody just cocking exploded. Never mind. Maybe don't spam too many explosives though. Speaking of which,
for the first time, I'm actually getting a bit low on, you know, ammo, which is a bit low on, you know, ammo, which is interesting. So, right, push button. Is that I think that's a bit proportion. Carrying a lot of Right. That's just
zombie guys. They're fine. Toss the grenades in over that. They'll explode grenades in over that. They'll explode and won't be a problem any more. That's feel like someone else is also firing explosives, but I'm not 100% sure who.
like I've got no option but to learn how to use the rocket launcher. I'm going go to Oh, right. Well, I know where that is. Okay, I finally got access to Oh, is. Okay, I finally got access to Oh, bloody hell. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
Someone else is around there. I'm definitely hitting something. Okay, I've done something good. Excuse me. Who the [ __ ] was that? Don't know. But right, get to here. Get gold. I finally got the No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Luckily, you
just got stuck on the thing. So, right, next. No, absolutely not. Absolutely cocking not every time, John. Stop just walking through doors blinds. You see, giving me loads of health and ammo, what? Oh, it's you again. No, no, that's
So, just keep firing rockets into you. And also, right, I've got the super nail gun thingy. That's it. See? Yeah, that's the answer to you. Just super now gunner and nothing but that. Watch out for big guy. Drop on. Oh, I don't trust this.
Right. So, that was the door to Corn. Also, I found zero secrets. Question is Also, I found zero secrets. Question is what the [ __ ] Oh, I'm going to assume that's Corn. So, right, right, right, right. John, John, John, John, just
stare around the outside. Hit Corn. There's plenty of health topups and whatnot. Oh, probably break out the big guns at this point, John. Just stay guns at this point, John. Just stay around. Hit him with the rockets and
whatnot. Okay, hang on. Check for what else is going on here. Up top here and switch. Oh, okay. Switches, switches, switches. Right. Get over here. Hit more
switches potentially. And two. And oh, okay. No, no, no, no. I understand. I understand. Screw rocket launchers. Lower the electromagnet balls
and then hit the switch. Don't even bother fighting him. All right. He can't vulnerable while we're doing Oh, bloody hell. What was that? I don't know. But it appeared to uh hurt. So, don't do it again. Instead, just lower the electroc.
Lower the electro micjibble. And screw you. You stupid. significantly less dangerous than like every single one of his minions. Like he him three times that deal with those bloody shamblers again. On the plus
side, I do get to watch him exploding on the level complete screen. So that's nice. And right by the looks of it, that was world one of yes, four, just judging by the doors and whatnot. There was, of course, you know what, the easy one. I'm
conveniently live in a lava pooler directly underneath an electrocution machine. Still, I would say having successfully defeated the first chapter. How about we wrap things up there? This here is Quake. And you know what this
proves? This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt to me that yes, a well-designed game is timeless because this still feels really nice to play. Like, you know what? The guns are satisfying to use, the levels are welldesigned, the
enemies are interesting, and they make you develop different tactics to deal with their various approaches. So, oh yeah, this is just a solid, well put together game. I understand why many people are still fans of this to this
day. As for me, I might well play a bit more of this in my own time or indeed dig a bit deeper in some of the classic shooters of the 1990s because every time I do, I tend to find the remembered fondly for a very good reason. So, who
classics coming up very, very soon indeed. So, hopefully you're looking forward to that. But in the meantime, I've been John has been many a true nerd and this has been the delightful Quake. Thank you very much and goodbye.
>> Wait, how does this how does this thing work? That's I'll put it on backwards. I don't know how to take it off now. YOU HAVE BULLETS. WHAT DO YOU WANT? AHA. OKAY, I figured it out. Round peg goes in round hole. I don't even smoke, but I
