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…

Lyds gets in touch with her inner demon

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.
