Urgent Appeal to Keep the Site Going
As with many people of late, I have been in financial dire straits. With things like rent payments and food to worry about without the "luxury" of any kind of steady income, keeping this web site afloat has become a relatively low priority. I simply can't spare the $13 it will take to keep it online for one more month.
Clearly I've been done updating this site for a long time. The majority of it was created years and years ago, when I was 13, and to me it essentially serves as a relic of a bygone era of my life. But if you find this web site in any way informative, entertaining, or useful, and would like to avoid seeing its domain bought up and turned into a fake airfare search engine or something, please donate what you can using the button below. If I cannot collect $13 by the first couple days of April the site will shut down.

"Why Doom?" Page Added
Sorry it's been so long since an update, I've been busy (oh man, I crack myself up). At the bottom of the all-too-true "Doom: Better than Halo" banner is a link to a page explaining why I think Doom thrives today, well over a decade after its release. I've also done a bit of general maintenance.
By the way, everybody go sign up for the forums at We Are the Mainstream.
