My qualifications for contributing to this project include:


 * 1) Being geographically isolated from all my friends, who are therefore less able to persuade me that my free time ought to be spent constructively.
 * 2) That faint streak of autism which allows me to look at a map and immediately yell, "Hey, where'd the potion go?"
 * 3) A relationship with Doom/Doom II so intense and longstanding (in gaming terms) that it has affected the way I see the world, above and beyond gaming in general. My maps and notes from Ultimate Doom, D!zone 150, and the first part of Maximum Doom are on my living room wall, and I still look at them every day.
 * 4) Apparently, a certain facility for actually writing about games after I've played them. The following e-mail has to do with my being recruited as a beta tester for a Macintosh program called Technical Snapshot 2.0:

I am very sorry to hear that. The world of computing will be a little more quiet and a little less polished without your voice. I hope that you are able to gain access again in the near future, and that such access will be on a Macintosh. Thanks for your help and critical eye. Sincerely, David Cook Storm Impact, Inc.   --
