Has it really been five years? Gosh. I can't remember what I'm up to now, but I think it's at least that, maybe even six.

It's been five for me, plus a week or four. You were here several months before that, at least.


Hmmm...

Okay, I didn't mean to make the 2+2 that obvious, but yes, the seventh is the fifth anniversary of my Inner Light fiver! At least I can still be smug that no one has the slightest clue what a dicer is yet.

Well, I suppose it's time to reveal some more letters:

dire______ com________ fiver

Hopefully this is the obvious clue.

Definitely "directed compression" fiver or a minor variation on same, then. Much like that green ice cream cannon in your new avatar.

(The cannon is green, not the ice cream, obviously)

Wrong, guess again. Oh, and that's not an ice cream cannon. It's a cotton candy powerup next to a...well...I'm not sure what that green thing is.

This new avatar is part of a secret room in Episode Two of the game Bio Menace. The protagonist, Snake Logan, can find a room staffed by id Software and Apogee Games. On shelves above them are powerups and enemy sprites from Commander Keen, Duke Nukem (there's also this awesome Duke poster), and so on. Of course this is an Easter Egg akin to finding GameFreak programmers inside Pokemon. I'd love to have used the whole thing, but if I shrank it down to 100 by 100 it'd be a meaningless blur.

Essentially this is just a tribute to the many, MANY great id/Apogee games that've enriched my life.

My version's funnier. (Although not by much.)

I'm starting to wonder how common this sort of Easter Egg is, since I've seen it elsewhere too . . .
