Hey, how is it going today? . I don't have an internet connection at the moment but I'll try my best to get things fixed in the next couple of days. In case you're wondering, my blog is running on the queue. No reblogs though, I ran out of them a while ago. . In the meantime, I guess I'll have to distract myself by doing something else, like reading a book. I guess it won't hurt if I read Masters of DOOM for the eleventh time! 😆 . Have you guys read it? You can buy it on Amazon, just look it up and make sure to keep an eye on the price. . See you soon (hopefully)! . #gaming #retrogaming #DOOM #MastersOfDOOM #DavidKushner #JohnRomero #JohnCarmack #pcgames #idsoftware #videogames #gamer #retrogames #retro #90s #pcgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZzdgoFxxO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ujfiktwuzry

Don't mind me, just sharing one of my favorite stories told in Masters of DOOM (a small excerpt from pages 110/111): . "Tensions were building outside the office too. One day Scott [Miller, from Apogee fame] received a call from FormGen, with whom he had been in contact since the company decided to do a retail version of Wolfenstein. FormGen would often appeal to Scott when they were having difficulty negotiating with id. Scott had some concerns of his own: most notably that Wolfenstein was nothing more than a maze game, Pac-Man with guns. He wondered if people would see it for what it was. FormGen’s latest concern, however, was even bigger. . “Look, Scott,” an executive said, “we don’t think they should be showing blood and stirring up the World War II stuff. We’re really worried about this. It’s too realistic. We’re going to make a lot of people upset. There’s never been a game like this.” . “Let me see what I can do,” Scott replied. He dialed id. “Hey,” he said, “FormGen thinks the game needs to be toned down.” He could hear the guys huffing on the other end at the line. It was time for id to do something about the violence, he conceded. “Beef it up!” he said. They wholeheartedly agreed." . . I believe they tried to pull something similar with the newest Wolfenstein but didn't work out so well in the long run. Whatever the case, I'm happy that id software decided to take that route and stood their ground. . #gaming #retrogaming #DOOM #videogames #pcgames #idsoftware #ScottMiller #MastersOfDOOM #wolfenstein https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhdbIyFKWf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wp4j6sbjj1do

Lo he visto en una tienda y no lo he podido evitar. Masters of doom! Me lo leí en inglés (y casi me peta la cabeza) hace una pila de años, y justo hoy descubro esta edición traducida en 2018 💜 Estoy entusiasmado por retomar la fascinante historia de los creadores de Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake... Eso sí, aún tengo que acabar pimero la biografía de Steve Jobs de Walter Isaacson (ando muy tecnológico últimamente) 😜 #MastersOfDoom #MaestrosDelDoom #gaming #shooters #libros #literatura #biografias https://www.instagram.com/p/BtYOV1IFfhK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d1wcckz9qu4f
