I live in Prague, so HROT had an added layer of enjoyment for me due to all the "Damn, I know this landmark" moments hahah

I actually laughed out loud at 27:50.

Waiting for someone other than Civvie to talk about this.

"sorry to any Czechs watching"

The cooking recipes are of course a parody of the post-episode "story" texts in Doom and especially Quake. The ones that rather adorably try to pretend like the game has some kind of plot. They might as well have been replaced with lorem ipsum or something totally arbitrary, so that's what Spytihněv did.

As a czech citizen i must say, HROT is closest as it gets to experience czech republic as a native

The Putin on a pterodactyl is a reference to Quake, which in early stages of development was supposed to have been more fantasy inspired and would prominently feature dragons. Eventually ID software did put a dragon as a boss fight in one of the expansions packs

Im very glad you went into the guys other games, i always feel that covering stuff outside of the main topic is just always helpfull if anything for sake of the historiy, i didnt even know about Legion .

You going into Putin's mouth and blowing up his heart is actually a reference to the final boss of Chasm, the Time Judge.

Hrot isn't, precisely, "peak" or "apex" but more like "sharp tip for piercing (of a knife or needle or arrow etc.)". Aslo kudos for trying with the pronounciation, the H should be more voiced, like in f.e. "heavy" but it's fine :)
