In another leaked document from Microsoft, A ten year plan exchanged during Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda has been posted on social media. In the ten year plan, a new Doom game titled Doom: Year Zero was referenced in the document, said to be announced in the year 2023.
TimeOfDeath is actively running a longplay series with a streaming-like setup where he plays every Doom wad on the /idgames archive. It's a chill little hangout where you can watch him play and talk about Doom.
Laz Rojas is a multitalented guy. An actor, writer, filmwriter, "one-man movie studio" -- but what makes him relevant to us is the fact that he made the very well-known and influential WolfenDoom series of Doom WADs during the 1990s and early 2000s. His work started a whole separate subgenre of Doom WADs.
Anyway, life has taken Laz down quite an eventful and tragic path. After his mother's unfortunate passing from dementia in March 2022, he was falsely accused of her murder and placed in prison, where he was subjected to various mistreatments and was left with multiple lasting effects to his health. He was eventually let go early this year, after he was proven innocent, but the damage was done: during imprisonment he also lost all of his possessions, including his property and all of his creations. After a stint on the streets, he received enough donations through his GoFundMe to find proper shelter.
Since his release, he has been trying to sue the people and institutions responsible for putting him through the torture he endured in prison.
This brings us to today: in his latest update posted on Doomworld, Laz details having suffered from Covid or a similar illness, no lawyer being willing to take his case, and his money running out, potentially leaving him on the streets again. Laz is now in his late 50s and of fragile health -- who knows how that could end for him.
