The News Diary

  Well it finally happened… I own a house! It’s a 3 bedroom 3 bath. The garage is pretty sweet, the loft, the kid’s rooms, and the study are also worth the money. I’ll take pics though all I can take pictures of right now would be the downstairs, so I’ll wait. As for this website, bandcamp changed a LOT. Instead of 6 huge releases I split everything back up into traditional EP layouts with some new covers and some old covers. The page itself has one single version with 12 buttons and a lot of stuff within each one eventually. I may have a mobile version that’s not split by frames but pages instead. I am also working on that top secret project more than ever now!

  I have just copied thousands of levels and most of their accompanying text files from 30+ doom level cd-roms I have downloaded from internet archive.org or owned, which are also available on my megasite for classic doom. This levels archive is PURE 90’s untouched from the original cds and never added to. I’ve also added Doomworld’s first top 50 of their original top 100 which ends in 2004, cutting them off at 1999. In other news, since we are moving, there won’t be much updating for a month or so. Everything is being backed up after this treat of 90’s levels to DVD-R’s DVD-RW’s and some Dual Layered DVDs for safekeeping during the move and for archiving afterwords. In the meantime, Project NEXT mentioned in the last post, and the final touches on setting up my raspberry pi microconsoles for a few friends and a co-worker. I’ll be enjoying my offdays for a while without working on them. I’ll also be sleeping on schedule and enjoying my 2-3 hours at home awake instead of working at home

  Other than the obvious downsides to this year like Covid-19 and the election wars on social media, for me and my now wife it hasn’t been so bad. On January 18th I got a new(er) Chevy Cruze 2017. On January 28th I got married to Brianna Lynn Jones, who is now Brianna Lehr. In February I put together a track for the Indiana NORML podcast for longtime friend William Henry. On March 16th I released the remake of  MAKINA  with both the 2000 tracks and now the new 2020 tracks to double its size. June 9th was my birthday, which was also the day  Project Warlock  made it to PS4. On the 11th and 12th it hit Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Also, I took a week off of work to celebrate both things, and spent a day camping with the kids and wife. When I returned to work, I was promoted to Supervisor. On August 24th I received in the mail all my copies of  The Book of Noise  to hopefully eventually sell out of here. On August 29th for Brianna’s Birthday, we looked at our first house and fell in love

  Welcome to my new website, officially #56 since 2000. I am very pleased with the final design and my wife contributed many of the art pieces for me to use on it. For this reason, I am finally done with the part where I don’t know exactly what all to put on it and redo it over and over again. This time I will just add whatever I want because the most important few parts are already being worked on or finished. There are many things ready to be added such as the return of  Muzakfiend’s Asylum  and  Zephyr’s Game Riot  in full final forms. I will also have a forum system again for music and games to work with both previously mentioned sub-websites. The  Book of Noise  CD collective is out in physical format for release, and almost all of the albums are on all streaming services for free. You can snag digital copies of individual albums on  bandcamp . That’s pretty much all I have to say in this primitive news entry. More to come.
