QuakeCon 2026 was such an amazing time! Here's a few pics of me, @thattomhall.bsky.social, Adrian, and John, Hugo, and @andrewhulshult.bsky.social. I love the one with Miss Donna. It was so good to see her.

Common questions: Was I surprised when I found my head behind the Icon of Sin in DOOM II? #doom #gamedev

The environment is the most important character in the game, and it has a story to tell. When designing levels, I’m thinking about several aspects that have to do with its place in the world, what its function is, how can I innovate in its design... 1/2

What an incredible honor, and DOOM is the only video game on the list! Congrats to DOOM devs, players, modders, and the entire games community. This one is for all of us. Thanks @gene.meme and @washingtonpost.com !

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

I was recently asked by @zeldatheswordsman.bsky.social about level order in Thy Flesh Consumed - were maps 1 & 4 swapped? No, those levels are at the correct positions. However, E4M4 was not balanced to be more difficult, and it should have been.

I interrupt your game news to bring you George, my rescue Chihuahua. He's been with us for a few months. The rescue shelter named him George, so George Romero it is.

Got this adorable felted Cacodemon from wifey. ❤️ It’s ridiculously cute and anatomically correct… but we don’t talk about the hole, @johnromero.bsky.social 👀

Great pic, Joe. Here's another. This was when we received the award for Commander Keen from the Shareware Industry Awards.

"Disrupting the Game" by Reggie Fils-Aimé is by far one of my favorite memoirs! Great audiobook, read by him! www.goodreads.com/book/show/58... "Doom Guy" by @johnromero.bsky.social is also one of my favorites, also read by the author! Highly recommend both www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

Doom Guy was easily one of my favourite books of 2023. VERY highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed Masters of Doom. Also, check out the audiobook from @johnromero.bsky.social

I was happy with how this custom jacket turned out. It definitely fits the rip-and-tear vibe, though that wasn't even intentional.
