Daikatana GBC News Story

There have been several news stories about the Daikatana page and the pre-alpha download I put up. So many people downloaded the pre-alpha and Daikatana demo that they split the nuts off my Streamload account, so I set up the download to come from this site instead. Heh.

Anyway, 1UP.COM wrote up a great little news story about the release and I modified the Daikatana page to add the link and a little extra info. That's all.

More Info Than You Might Want: this site is hosted by LiquidWeb, which has been around for 7 years. Check out the facility hosting this site, it's pretty cool.

Happy KEENsday!

It's the 14th birthday of the original Commander Keen 1-3 trilogy - on the 14th! And it's the 13th birthday of the second Keen duo of 4-5 on the 15th.

Check out some of the Keen sites on the Net to reaquaint yourself with the little fella.

Cerebral Cortex 314

Commander Spleen's Land of Commander Keen

Crazy Flash Movie with Keen sprites in it!

So there you go - Keen's birthdays. In a row.

And the only cool present I have for Keen is an old picture from the beginnings of id Software while we were creating the Super Mario 3 demo to show Nintendo - in the photo gallery!

Happy DOOMsday!

It's the 11th birthday of the mighty DOOM! Unfortunately, I don't remember anything about its development history anymore - I don't know how that happened.

Ok, just kidding. If you haven't visited the DOOM page in a while, take a look for a minute to remember what was once a world obsession.

To celebrate, I've put up some pictures from DOOM's development in the Photo Gallery - the amount of pictures in there just doubled. Stay tuned for more old pictures next week when it will be Commander Keen's birthday two times! (First & second trilogies)

Daikatana News

I just put up the beginnings of the Daikatana page. Since it's taking so long to get these game pages up, I decided that I'll at least make a start at them!

The cool news about the Daikatana page is the release of a long lost pre-alpha! So if you're a Daikatana lover (or liker), check it out...it's slightly interesting.

Also, the heading on all pages on the site will direct you back to here.

Random Stuff

Just watched National Treasure and it was really great! Very reminiscent of The Goonies but for a more grown-up audience. You should definitely see it - and bring the kids if you have any.

I sold my iPod within a week of posting that I'm selling it in my forums. And the person who bought it isn't even registered on the forums but is a lurker on there! It's such a hot item that the buyer sold it at a higher price to someone else who wanted it - before I even shipped the thing!

Thanksgiving's coming up... the 4 day weekend will be really nice, like a mini vacation. I'll probably be chillin' at home playing GTA:San Andreas since I'm ADDICTED to the thing. The previous addiction was Burnout3 which I still play on occasion, but GTA:SA is Da Bomb. Right now. I'm putting off buying Half-Life2 until it gets patched a bit....since I have an awesome game to play right now anyway.

Work is going really well - just showed the current status of Gauntlet to Midway's execs and everyone was happy with the progress. The game's looking really nice and playing unlike anything in the genre.

Oh, I just pumped some Ion Storm pictures into the Photo Gallery if you want to see what all the fuss was about ...all those years ago!

That's about it! Have fun - it's the reason you're alive!
