Doom mods should use the Doom Guy’s face more prominently… maybe just 90% gameplay is face-focused.

I’m always excited when the chuck berry cover bands get haughty about their creativity
1 movie - eat the rich (with Soundtrack by motörhead) 1 narrative - twelfth night ("if music be the food of love play on") 1 song - eat the rich by Motörhead (they say music is the food of love, let's see if you're hungry enough)
"3, 6, 9, Damn dirty fine sock it to me, sock it to me, 1 more time Getting low is the secret to my new game."

I am celebrating the 30th anniversary of Quake by standing in lava and saying ough ughh urgh oughh ough urnh ough
kids hate music so much. cant even play the most basic charles Ives piano sonatas without loud protests for traditional brass band marching music instead. the youth are truly obscene.

when I turn 40, I’m going to release a new album and get this mid-life crisis going hard right out the door. first song is called “the prince is on fire and the village walls are all gone”, the second song is called “feels like nothing’s going to change”, the third song is called “ketchup and fries”
i keep being really boring at work saying things like "design is making a theory, doing everything you possibly can to test that theory, and then realizing you're completely wrong but at least you have a strong context to iterate" and then when people are kind of interested, i make spreadsheets
Feels like such a waste to be sitting in nice weather, getting some sun, and feeling anxious and melancholy. but that’s also when I like music the most so it’s kind of worth it too.
tomorrow is 10 years of soft body, let it be known. I’ll release the soundtrack for free or something! Also could post some thoughts here and there about the game. zekevirant.bandcamp.com/album/soft-b...

it's 2013, i'm feeling funny on twitter but i'm sure somebody made the same joke, it's mortal combat.
my next band was supposed to be called “burned to death” but I haven’t written anything yet
