family, mh (-) 

today is what would've been my mom's 62nd birthday.

she passed away almost a decade ago, and every time May to June rolls around, I feel incredibly sad.

I miss her so dearly. I hope she would've been proud of how much I've grown as a person.

yeah, my music pool playlist is chaotic

from conventional classic rock standards, to guitar instrumentals, to the theme from Law & Order

basically don't pass me the aux cord

Thanks to @arielmt, Today I learned that Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing was on the Commodore 64

*and* one of the modes is a racing game of sorts

Educational titles got pretty wild back then, didn't they?

reinstalled Quake 3 to check out some mods and maps, and as I kept playing, I came to a realization

I think I'm more an Unreal Tournament kind of gal

PSA: Using "female" as a noun to refer to someone, as in "a female," "that female," or "those females," makes you sound like a Ferengi.

New Secret Area post: It's RTC-3057 for Doom.

When the Doom source code lead to cool stuff ZDoom, people were doing some pretty damn wild things, including this mod that echoed elements of Doom 3.

Likes, shares, and comments appreciated, as always.

Was looking through my old Giant Bomb blogs to see if I needed to preserve anything, and forgot that I wrote about an esports tournament involving Turtle Rock's Evolve and the Neill Blomkamp film CHAPPiE.

If that isn't 2015 as hell, I don't know what is

New on the ol' Secret Area Patreon: It's RTC-3057 for Doom.

Doom mods are one of my favorite things to write about. So let's look into one that was taking use of the then-new ZDoom in 2003.

Remember that 2000s era when orchestral arrangements of classic video game music was in vogue?

I know it's still a thing now but this seemed to be a common trend back then, kind of as a way to make video games seem more "legitimate," I guess?

Might be worth exploring more

Somehow over the years I grabbed an album called "The Greatest Video Game Music."

It's a smattering of the hits (Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy) and a few questionable additions (Advent Rising? GTA4? Splinter Cell: Conviction??) but it's an alright orchestral arrangement of video game songs
