Greetings from The Spinoff Tech team! We have an exciting announcement to make about a new feature we’re adding to the site.
In our rapidly changing media landscape, it’s often difficult to draw new eyes from the fast-paced pull of shorts and tiktoks. Here at The Spinoff we value bringing you high quality journalism with range, rigour, and humour. This is why we’ve made the exciting decision to port the 1993 FPS game, DOOM, into the letter ‘o’ of our header.
Recent research suggests that media audiences in the age range of 18-35 really value the addition of DOOM being ported into small segments of the content they consume. In fact, in a poll run just last week by The Spinoff, over 70% of contributors responded positively to the idea of piloting a tiny, pixelated space marine through military bases filled with zombies, while simultaneously reading up on climate change management.
One test user reported: “Obtaining the BFG 9000 while being informed about cycle lane proposals really made me feel like I was engaging with local politics on a deeper level.”
Spinoff community manager Ben Fagan was the visionary that first proposed porting the classic FPS game into the ‘o’ of The Spinoff. When approached for comment, he said this: “why are you writing about this, aren’t we putting actual games on the site soon? Shouldn’t you be talking about that?”
