Masters of DOOM
Hey guys, Some of you probably run **Doom** on a DX 33 or something like that when the game was released. DOOM! A revolution in the video games world at that time! & Lot of fun! I remember running the demo before buying the game after a PC upgrade. Because I wasn't able to play the game with sound.. not enough ressources. It was so impressive. I was hungry with a demo without sound, so I bought a brand new PC able to run games. Able to run Doom! :0)) (Interlude: Did you check **this one** about **Steve Wozniak**?) https://read.cash/@SolarPhasing/masters-of-code-3f4ec153 A couple of months ago, I read **Masters of Doom** by David Kushner (**Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture**) and I was literally stuck, from start to finish. A fascinating book. If you like these stories about devs and history, culture, I highly recommend you to **read it**. **John Carmack** and **John Romero** are video games Legends! https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/0812972155
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/0812972155 Well, idea of genius or stupid impulse, I created the **MarbleCard** today, from GoodReads. In fact I was to create a new one from my discography. https://opensea.io/assets/0x1d963688fe2209a98db35c67a041524822cf04ff/51177
https://opensea.io/assets/0x1d963688fe2209a98db35c67a041524822cf04ff/51177 Yep, kind of geek. Don't ask me why. But a hot one, anyway! So like the previous ones, I probably couldn't sell it, haha. But is it important?! https://read.cash/@SolarPhasing/on-the-edge-of-the-galaxy-album-marble-card-7d399a30 We will say that it was a small moment of culture. :0) A fantastic week to everyone. We need some scary music for it: **On The Run**, A cinematic composition written for Halloween 2018. A challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qgAR8SJLbE Edit: to check if Soundcloud is working again. https://soundcloud.com/solarphasing/on-the-run See you.. Space Rockers!

Going to check out this book. Thanks for the recommendation =)
Hey man! Thank you very much. :0) Yes, It's a really good one. Lots of anecdotes and "behind the scene". A great book!
And in 2020 i am just sitting in the front of monitor, trying to optimize my software renderer to run properly on late 486 and pentium1.
Thanks for sharing. Indeed this looks interesting. I did watch many of Matt Barton's vids on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/blacklily8, his interviews John Romero and talks a lot about the dev environment at the time. I will check the book. Nice post! And for the record, I played doom on a 386 66Mhz. Good ol times!
You're welcome! :0) Haha, great times! Mine was a DX40 AMD, and I need to set music off to run DOOM well (fast). I'm checking the video and the channel. Very interesting! Looks like full of great interviews about great creative people. Thanks for sharing it! Just sub..
