I've worked on over 40 games in my career but one really holds a special place: The Long Dark. I finally got the OK to post a playlist of some cues from the survival mode. Its a nice blend of minimalist meets avant-garde:

Here's the thing. Bullying anyone isn't right. Whether female or male. However, that still doesnt change the fact that her character was poorly written. Not the actress fault of course but I want to support her but her character def did not change anything for the better. Sorry.

Another Quake 2 fact: Sonic Mayhem was never a band. It was (and still is) believed to be but truth is, in the 90s it was lame to use ones real name. Nothing more to it. It was cool at the time.
