John Romero says he has a private collection of rare id Software materials that the studio may no longer have.
The co-creator of DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein 3D says his collection includes original game assets, design documents, source files, and other development materials from the early days of id Software.
“As far as I know, id itself no longer has”
“Someone needs to preserve this history,”
Hank Aaron and his brother, Tommie Aaron, pose with crossed bats at Braves spring training in 1962. They hold the Major League record for the most combined career home runs by a pair of siblings, with 768 total home runs (Hank hit 755 of them). Hank and Tommie Aaron played together for seven seasons with the Braves organization. They homered in the same game 3 times including July 12, 1962 when they hit homers in the same inning.
The original lineup of Pink Floyd lounges on a balcony at the Casa Madrona Hotel in Sausalito, California back in late 1967. Rolling Stone magazine's very first chief photographer, the legendary Baron Wolman, caught this great candid moment.
The band was right in the middle of their first-ever tour of the United States, fresh off releasing their masterpiece debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. They set up camp at the historic Casa Madrona, looking right out over the water just across the golden gate from San Francisco.

On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history.
The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet.
Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention.
He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette.
He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents.
A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.

The more I look at photographs of the D-Day landings, the more humbling it becomes to grasp the sheer bravery of our Allied veterans.
I wonder if you feel the same?
The Braves pitching staff was so dominant sometimes Fred McGriff would make phone calls at first base. “Yo, Crime Dog here. No, the game’s not over yet. Maddux is pitching, it’s under control.”

This day in 1943, the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress “Memphis Belle” completed its 25th combat mission over Europe, a milestone few bomber crews survived in WWII.
After returning home, the aircraft and crew toured the US to help sell war bonds and boost morale on the home front. Today, Memphis Belle is preserved at the National Museum of the USAF. #WW2
