About this listen

From Masters of Doom author David Kushner comes Prepare to Meet Thy Doom, a compilation of true gaming stories covering many facets of America's biggest entertainment business: the video game industry. In addition to more than a dozen fascinating tales of game creation, play, business, and controversy, Prepare to Meet Thy Doom follows up on Kushner's previous best seller, Masters of Doom, with a long-awaited update on id Software founders John Romero and John Carmack.

This is a tough one - what's in here is interesting (if you're interested in the subject matter) but it's basically just a collection of articles most if not all of which seem to be available on the internet to read.

Further, and more annoyingly, for at least one of the articles it isn't the full article - I noticed when once chapter just abruptly ended ('The Making of The Beatles: Rock Band'). Not sure if there are others.

But, as I say, what is in here is interesting, and the audiobook is read by the always excellent Wil Wheaton, so it's probably worth an Audible credit...

Interesting, but disappointing

worth a listen if you like books about the gaming industry but not as good as the first book 'masters of doom'.

worth a listen if you like gaming history

but not as great as masters of doom I was looking for more of what made masters so great, instead it was a bunch of controversies I was not remotely interested in I was more so wanting to hear about 3d realms, bungie, monolith and other grateful development teams that put so much effort and creativity into the game world.

good solid book

Has mix match of random game dev stories. I only found a few to be interesting.

Not entirely about ID software and there current situation so I don’t think the title of this book is justified.

Fixed the itch for a book about game devs but for me only about 50% of the book was interesting.

Should be called random gamedev stories

I like that it’s a brief collection of stories but it shouldn’t pretend to be anything else. It’s also a short audible. Only just worth the credit.
