"I actually have two skulls, and I refuse to elaborate on that." He was not the first keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK.. that title is won through a long and bloody battle that uses every weapon within the museums collection. The skulls of past keepers are kept as sacred relics, and as trophies. It's a very hushed topic in the UK.
@ItsChevnotJeff
Crazy thing about the skull crusher guns: Apparently the crushing part is more of a sacrifice to some eldritch power, and that is what causes the shards to become even more lethal and actually shoot to harm demons
@DR01D_Qs
The thing that was missed with the super shotgun is that there are 2 loading gates on the bottom of its wooden foregrip, so the mechanism is supposed to be of M1887's - this is a TUBE FED, DUAL MAGAZINES, DOUBLE BARREL, LEVER ACTION, FLINTLOCK shotgun
@Narofox1
I think an implication with the weapons is that Doom Guy himself had a hand in the shotguns and plasma weapons, sharing his knowledge of "classic tech" with the Sentinals. Man fought hell for so long he knows what works

You can't escape the Cruelty Squad episode forever Dave

DoomSlayer: I need a weapon. Shopkeep: sure thing, we have shotguns, nail guns, and woodchippers, see anything you like? DoomSlayer: all of them.

I absolutely loved how Jonathan was more about having fun in this video, rather than trying to figure everything out. He basically just said “this is DOOM. It’s not supposed to make sense” and I loved it. And I loved that he still tried to figure out how some of the weapons worked while still having fun with it
@enby_kensei
Long story short, The Dark Ages takes place on a different planet. The humans who evolved there essentially speedran from medieval technology to energy weapons because of intervention from other alien races, so that explains the clash of aesthetics. That's also why the shotguns are described in the codex as "primitive," because they were based on designs that the Doomguy brought there with him (the pump action and double barrel). Everything else he uses in this game is either adopted alien tech, or homegrown weapon designs from the natives of the Night Sentinel Empire.

19:21 This Is Jonathan Fergusen, The Keeper of Human Skulls
@Wutsizbukkit
7:18 too late, Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history
@RandomNobody-c3t
You know EXP loves DOOM when the team has a dedicated BFG Division cover for the intro
@SollowP
8:21 To quote Doom Eternal. "There is only one dominant life form in this universe and it carries a steel-barreled sword of vengeance."
@VinzentC
19:21 "I actually have two skulls" so I see Jonathan got his hands on the two people at Gamespot who decided to bin you guys off then
@1vite
i didn't know chris made music for EXP, that is incredible. makes me appreciate this channel even more
@ErickGameplaysN64
17:00 Fun fact: There is, in DOOM Eternal you could see a magazine on the ground that says "Why the DOOM Slayer owes the demon society an apology"
@sethisnoisage9029
19:35 the skull crusher is a weird weapon Because it doesn’t actually shoot the skull as projectiles they’re just the ammunition. It sacrifices them in a demonic magic ritual creating skull fragments coated in demonic energies. It is a really weird weapon. (This comment has been updated)
@superkeaton9912
Props to Chris for the music!
@lukusridley
When jonathan said "enya went metal" I was immediately reminded that devin townsend - the lad behind such peaceful music as "shitstorm" and "LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH" when he was doing strapping young lad - is a huge enya fan, draws great inspiration from her and has several bits of music that could indeed be described as enya going metal. Good stuff
@panderz_gg
Knowing that the yellow glowing eyes mean God mode clearly shows he knows what he's talking about. He played the originals.
