...perform at the opera house SEVEN months later. how was that? I felt if I didn't go back, the experience would loom larger in my memory, and I needed to step up to the plate.

[Opera at La Scala] is a little bit like a sports event, with fans shouting at their teams. Is it true that you practice singing in the mirror? Once in a while. I can see if I am singing...

It features concert-hall-clear audio effects (listen to those tinkly brass shell casings bounce!) and the ultrafast, hyperviolent futuristic military combat that made the Quake franchise a thing of legend, including classic death-match action and some brand-new elements--vehicular combat and squad tactics--thrown in for good measure. Well, space marine, is there a problem...
