   Kinda crazy how the idea of ‘strafing’ in video games was so revolutionary and yet so widely accepted at the same time.

     Okay, real fun quick fact: if you put the CD for QUAKE in a CD player (this was a thing you could do back then), the soundtrack, which was produced by Nine Inch Nails, would play.

     Anyhoo, John Carmack was a genius. Now back to our regularly scheduled poop jokes.

     I don’t know if anyone ever played the original DOOM, but you could not strafe at all (or jump for that matter) and it was super annoying. I could be completely wrong, but it may have been QUAKE that changed it (?)
