Lyds came by to visit today. While discussing Tom’s and my mutual love for spending far too long playing videogames, she mentioned that she’d always quite enjoyed a spot of Doom in her youth. Having discovered this veiled secret from her past, I offered to reacquaint her with the family through his darker and somewhat more vicious younger sibling, Doom³. Which reminded me that I haven’t played nearly enough of that game myself, and prompted me to reinstall it the moment she left (as I type, in fact). Clearly the discussion brought out her inner demon (witness the transformation for yourself below) and she then proceeded to pick a film to watch that was about…videogames (eXistenZ). Hmm, maybe that girl is growing up…
And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to a space station on Mars to battle the forces of hell. Hey, they’re demons; you’re allowed to blow them away with a shotgun. It’s good for the soul.
