According to a report on Gamesindustry.biz, John Romero, co creator of the Doom franchise has confirmed that he has stopped working for game publisher Midway.
Romero, who was the project leader for the next Gauntlet title has said on his website that he “can definitely confirm that I have left Midway — I’ve been gone for about 3 weeks.”
Romero was hired by the Midway’s San Diego branch in October 2003 with Tom Hall, founder of Ion Storm and founded Monkeystone Games in July 2001 with Romero, after Ion Storm’s Dallas office closed its doors.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
