This week, Kevin and Jay lock and load as they revisit the game that redefined PC shooters and set Hell on fire—DOOM (1993). From its legendary shotgun to the MIDI-fueled mayhem, we dig into the impact, innovation, and eternal badassery of id Software’s masterpiece. Whether you played it on a dusty old DOS machine or just know it from memes and mods, this one’s for the OG demon slayers. So crank up the volume, grab your keycards, and prepare for a blast from the BFG-past!

K J Arcade 17: Button Mashing and Broken Friendships: Killer Instinct Review

Anime, Comedy, Funny, gaming, review, , , , , , ,

Before Mortal Kombat had x-rays, Killer Instinct had ultra combos and robots drop-kicking dinosaurs.

In this arcade, we revisit the button-mashing madness, the iconic announcer voice, and why this game still slaps decades later. Was it all flash and no fighter depth—or a hidden gem of the arcade era? Combo breakers welcome.
