Revving up the Doom engine. It's been too long. The doctor should've prescribed me this months ago.
In the game Doom looking over a small bridge towards a door. The sky is almost green. In Doom with the protagonist carrying a chaingun. There is a small bridge leading to a platform. There are multiple enemies defeated on the floors. The sky is brown. A map in progress of a Doom level from an editor view

📝 'Grief' by Polar Bites has now been remastered and released

Here I talk about my first album and finally putting it out to the masses in anticipation for my second release. If you've got delicate ears, probably give it a miss 😅

There's a lot to love from recent festival coverage, but I will always fall back to Biffy Clyro. What a strong set. Mon the Biff!

The recent Yungblud single is 9 minutes long. I respect that.

Thoroughly enjoyed my impromptu performance at an open mic in Leicestershire last night. I need to play more!

Just tried to play Half-Life Alyx for the first time. I went with typical FPS control settings and almost instantly threw up 😬
