Meanwhile, the Star-T’s parent just filed for bankruptcy.

Joe Pappalardo is gone after two years at the helm.

In 1993, the video game Doom, published by the local outfit id Software, pretty much blew people's minds. No one had ever seen a game that was so immersive and so violent. In short, it was a thing. Today id is relaunching the game. You'll find reviews online of the single-player experience. They are mostly good. But as Time points out, reviewers won't get a taste of the multiplayer experience until today, when id's server is fired up for the public at large. You can watch a livestream of the game being played here. (If the Dallas Observer’s Patrick Williams isn't taking the day off to properly celebrate the occasion, I will be disappointed.)
