Doom is still going you know, you can buy the originals on every modern console and PC still.
Certainly a "fun" episode to see them horsing around but how any of this could be considered "mythical" i'm not exactly sure - I'm sure they could've asked any soldier if it makes a difference carrying all that stuff around. But then I guess Season 9 was maybe just them basically checking stuff off their personal Mythbusters bucket list because they knew it'll be the last season. Which is fine by me.

Every single episode of all seasons have covered topics that would be instantly answered by the right expert. You cant test actual "mythical claims" like the strength of a minotaur, the temperature of dragon-fire, or the hardness of the firmament. In several of the episodes they were just testing already documented scenarios. A couple of episodes back Adam even built a test-rig to compare the force behind a .357 round to a rock from a lawnmower. The .357 rounds force is literally printed on the box, and they had the speed and mass of the rock so they could just calculate the force in less than a second. Its an entertainment show, its not a science lecture. You basically cant use any of their conclusions for anything because all their tests are so flawed.

1st: Doomguy is not a normal human 2nd: he's wearing a special exo suit so your experiment can never emulate the real thing

6:06 it shows computer specs for a game dev at the time and it makes me realise I have no chance of blaming my rigs for struggling to make games.

They don't even use the first Doom as an example, I think its safe to say theyre not total experts :)
Doom takes place on Mars, which has 38% of the gravity that earth does. So, in reality they would be carrying all that equipment, but it would only weigh 30lbs.
Fabulous setting, but…You know the answer to this, at least for generic fps games, before it even starts. Let’s see….50 medipacks, 10,000 rounds. 30 grenades, body armour, side arm, combat shotgun, AK47 or Armalite, sniper rifle and 20 packs of C4. Now play it through on ‘HARD’ mode, where enemies don’t drop with single shot kills😂

And generally games have moved away from infinite inventory space to where character has room few guns (like Far Cry's and 3x rifle-sized weapons) and throwables. Less weapons means devs have more control on designing enemies in a balanced way and not make it lways a bullet hell.

I would like to see them try try running around with an almost full set of gear of DooM 2... The Rocket Launcher and it's 100 rockets would probably be a little too unreasonable, and I don't really know what you could really use an analogue for the BFG. But overall, A chainsaw, A Semi-Automatic Pistol, a Pump-action Shotgun, A double barreled shotgun, a minigun, and in place of the Plasma RIfle as we don't have those yet, just an Assault Rifle. And for the guns as well.
it's sad that the doom(2016) didn't exist back then i would love to see a video comparison of that
11:20 As much as it was a commercial failure, I still consider the Kinect and especially the Kinect 2.0 to be fantastic technology with a broad array of applications aside from just video games. It’s a shame they weren’t as open with the SDK and refused to allow third-party production of the special connector cable. I saw things in its prime of people making virtual instruments for blind/handicapped people all the way to using an array of them to control swarms of drones that could play catch…

Ive gotta say, jamies movements are not bad at all. Good moves around the corners too.
Love to test the Wolfenstein ideology of a huge belt fed machine gun in each hand, firing effortlessly When Adam shouts "YEAH" during chainsaw minja, screen should have frozen and Jamie ought to have danced off screen. Oh Rayman
Doom was on Mars and various moons no? Different gravity!
They didn't put a lanyard of some sorts to secure the blade at his wrist? If Adam had let go of the sword at the fruit ninja test, one of the jugglers would have been toast.
In doom you can carry up to 100 rockets if you have the backpack. I want to see em do that 😂
Plenty of games slow you down when you are overloaded. But also, RL soldiers practice with quite high loads, with up to 120 pounds in combat missions.
Surface gravity on Mars is only about 38% of the surface gravity on Earth. So true doom guy would carry a heavy flashlight instead of a light headlamp.
Most fps games have a weapons cache that only allow you the ability to carry so much. Or you have to buy an upgrade to carry more.
adam is just geeking out
Now admittedly this was shot a long, long time ago, but surely even then FPS only allowed a few weapons as they tend to do now? I think three is the standard load out in different calibres, like one pistol, one shotgun style weapon and one heavy weapon. Also the ammo and med packs get used up, so you're not carrying them all with you all the time through the game.
This season had such a different feel.
Aww the lag on that 1st generation Kinect. Bless it
The dubbing over of Dooms in game sounds pleases me irrationally. Right back to my childhood. I think the best mechanic to deal with this problem is in the Boarderlands franchise. you start the game with only 2 weapon slots, upgrading to a total of 4 over the course of the game. the weapons are all dynamically generated, with variable stats such as power, accuracy, reload time, ammo type and capacity, gun type, elemental effects, aesthetics etc. trying to decide what to keep and what to drop is a major part of gameplay, your kinda hosed if you get into closed quarters and you only have a sniper rifle and an RPG for example. plus, it has a great sense of humour. one of my favourites is an exceptionally overpowered SMG that screams and insults you constantly. very nice to have, but having the thing screaming at you gets old fast. Easily one of my favourites.

Childhood?!. Never stopped playing Doom 1 and 2, got them on ps3 and PS4. Borderlands 1 was awesome, the rest are awful. Cringe humour at its worst.
As s/o who grew up with the evolution of 1stpersonshooters, thanks for going for the one question that always nagged 😉 Still, I'm quite disappointed, they didn't take into account the weight of the ammo. Do I remeber correctly? There was a max of 200rds for each "bullet"-weapon (pistol, shotgun, minigun), plus rockets, plus whatever (plasma and bfg "rds"(?)). Weapons' bulk and weight on one hand, ammo's not to be neglected, either

They should have got a real ninja to try cutting the fruit.
I'm pretty sure that Wolfenstein 3D was before Doom...
Where in the video game does it say that you are the same speed running levels carrying multiple guns though? It doesn't. They just pulled this out of thin air. It doesn't matter that they're slower, they proved it to be realistic as it's possible to complete the "level" while carrying all the weapons in real life. Case closed.

can tell these guys never been in Army, i had to carry 2 mines 2 single shot RPG´s and a heavy RPG as anti tank infratry, and ofc my AR and tactical belt whit stuff, first weeks was hard after that they did not bother too much :D
I have the same model of Nerf gun they used for the heavy machine gun, the Nerf Vulcan. I still need to increase the power on mine and then mod a case for it to look like a Heavy Bolter...
Most computer games where ya carrying stuff do have some form of encumbrance. Some games actually make ya move slower the more stuff ya carrying but most games just have a limit to the amount of stuff ya can carry.
Imagine they did this when doom 2016 released, we couldve had BFG Division in mythbusters and peak Rip and Tear 😩😩
dont you love how wrong Adam was when he said Doom was the game that kickstarted the first person shooter games only it wasnt, wolfenstien3d was the original game that started the first person shooter games.
In fruit ninja the fruit does not get thrown at your head.
Why did he say he like to go for the groin at the end ?
I can imagine it is fun to replicate this DOOM environment etc., but I don't think it is a myth that needs to be busted. Because usually you have a myth that people believe to be true or at least accept to be possible, but I don't think there is a great percentage of gamers who think they could really carry everything they find with them in real life.
METAL GEAR SURVIVE, only the ones who have played it will understand the reference
Wolfenstein 3D invented the FPS genre. Not Doom. Same company.. but Doom wasn't the first FPS
