If you're not sold on the box art alone, perhaps the back of the box blurb and in-game aesthetic will?

Inter-Dimensional Espionage. Inter-Dimensional... because you can "warp" into the body of a living thing in this or any other dimension. Espionage... because there are good guys and bad. And you're a good one... with years under your belt and a multitude of successful missions behind your dark glasses. The payoff? You get a vacation, and the ultimate vacation in this business is to become a goldfish.

Yes, a goldfish. Hey, it's cushy. You swim a little, eat a little, live in a castle. (So what if it's plastic.) Just as you were getting into vacation mode (umbrella drink and all), the tide turns. The most dangerous group of inter-dimensional anarchists surface - the Seven Deadly Fins. This septic septet will stop at nothing to destroy all forms of life as we know it. And wouldn't you know it, you are drafted to stop them!

I don't talk a lot about my adventures in Doom modding, but it's something I did! For about two years during the pandemic (on and off but fairly actively), I helped out with an extremely goofy horde-style Doom mod that we finally released this spring. I'm taking a long break to focus on other stuff, but I'm super proud of my contributions to this.

We packed way too much weird side content into this mod. It was basically just an excuse to make each other laugh as much as possible during a bleak time, and then we gradually tuned it into a game that I think is actually pretty fun and well-balanced? A notable Doom YouTuber called it "astonishingly good," which is a heck of a compliment. I've been wanting to do a co-stream with the lead developer where we walk through everything we crammed in.

My big hope is that we win one of the Cacowards, the annual community awards for Doom modding. The previous version of the mod already won a Cacoward back in 2012, and I want to be the only two-time Cacoward-winning video game archivist in the world.

Still need to give this a spin sometime! That said, having watched @wildweasel and a few other mutual friends stream this time and time again, my favorite reel is the one that lifts weapons from WizardWorks shovelware covers. :p

The Ballad of Wide Jeremy

Or, the one time a "Fully Randomize" option in a character creator has been something I legitimately went with. Well, I made ONE change. Had to give him the EA Sports bandana.

This primarily came about because I downloaded a copy of a Tiger Woods golf game to run on my 2007 Mac Mini. It runs better than I'd have expected it to, even if that's still not very smooth. But Wide Jeremy? Wide Jeremy transcends his medium.

I want a Notes counter on this so I can see how much it fucking exploded this morning for no reason. Wide Jeremy is inexplicably the most popular thing I've posted on here, even more than the blurry photograph of Craig Stadler. 🤔

Knee-Deep in Knee-Deep in ZDoom (KDiKDiZD)

Your name is Doom Guy, an actor. You've been cast in a cable TV reenactment of 2007's "Knee-Deep In ZDoom". You were never much of a history buff, but it'll put food on the table and help cover Daisy's vet bills. Maybe it'll even revive your acting career. You adjust the prop helmet to breathe a little easier, try out a few cheesy poses with your character's handgun, and ready yourself for the first day of filming.

Welcome back to 2008, everyone! Knee-Deep in KDiZD is here, appearing courtesy of The History Channel. That’s right, it’s 2007’s Knee-Deep in ZDoom, now upgraded for vanilla Doom2.exe.

Talk about synchronicity, I was just thinking about this project today!! :D I'm glad to see this finally dropped. Now to redo my Doom folder for the umpteenth time so I can play it.
