Steven Spielberg recalls how he genuinely thought John Williams was joking when he first played the iconic 'Jaws' theme 🦈

"He sat at the piano and played... da duh ... da duh"

"I thought he was joking"

"John said, 'No, I'm serious ... This is the sound the audience will identify with the shark, even when you don't see the shark ... This is what is going to scare the audience"

"He kept playing it until I realized the kind of genius I was experiencing"

After hearing it with an orchestra, Spielberg then called George Lucas and told him, "This is the guy who has to [score] Star Wars"

In 1996 when Jamiroquai filmed their VIRTUAL INSANITY music video, lead singer Jay Kay had literally no idea in which direction the floor would shift, improvising every single one of his dance moves to coincide the set. In fact, it wasn't the floor at all moving, but rather the set walls shifting in all directions with furniture locked in place and released at random times to only give the feeling that the floor was shifting.
The music video went on to win the MTV Music Video Award for Breakthrough Video, Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography, and Video of the Year - and considered to be one of the greatest music videos of all time.

Remembering Bonnie Tyler’s brilliantly random advert for Jaffa Cakes today.

One of the wackiest things ever broadcast on TV.

Rest in peace

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs.

I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history.

The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in today’s industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people.

A note on digital preservation: id's history is critically important to the history of games. I’ve preserved id’s complete early history from our start at Softdisk through to August 6, 1996, including materials and assets that, as far as I know, id itself no longer has. I hope someone is doing the same for the company’s ongoing legacy (the work, code, assets, stories and the people behind them).

I’m thinking of everyone at id today, and everyone else affected by yesterday’s layoffs. Romero Games was there a year ago. I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you.

This 1971 Fisher-Price record player played REAL music with no batteries or electricity

The plastic records used tiny raised bumps to pluck metal teeth hidden inside, turning a spring, gears, and molded plastic into music.
