    Fyi, quakes’ music and sound effects were made by Trent Reznor (nine inche nails). There were definitely nin logos in Quake 2. He described the “music” not as music but ambient sounds to make things creepy but also contributed the sound effects, presumably for the shotgun also.

      Really? I hadn’t heard about that extremely prominent aspect of the game’s development and marketing for thirty years. You don’t happen to have any shocking news about the origins of Super Mario Bros. 2 by any chance, do you?

      Alright, alright, I’ll tone down the snark, it’s just… yeah, that reads a certain way.

      But also yeah, he kinda killed it. The Q2 soundtrack in particular has been in my music players longer than some European countries have existed.

        I jest you not! I was a nin fan before ever playing the game so I was tuned in when I first saw the logos in game. I think if you go back and play even the first level of Q2 you’ll see them. He did 1 also but I’m not sure there were logos in that. It’s even listed on the Wikipedia site if that confirms that I’m not full of crap.
