A little humor from last week's gamercat. I think I went through the 'must play every game' phase when I was in middle school, I've slowly paired it down to the 'I only have so much time, what do I want to play?' :-)  The urge to play (or at least try) them all though is still there :)

Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture by David Kushner My rating: 4 of 5 stars Interesting book about the people and the company that brought you Doom and Wolfenstein 3D.
