Re: WTF does your username mean?
2) classic murder simulator duke nukem 3d was no exception, all its filenames followed the 8.3 format due to the game running natively in DOS (obviously those days are long over with the arrival of eduke32 and other source ports)
D) all of DN3D's music was in MIDI format (written for and intended to be played on the roland SC-55 sound module which almost nobody had lol) and easily extracted from the .grp file for later listening
IV) this included the song "taking the death toll" (composed by bobby prince, he of doom soundtrack fame) which of course due to filename limits was reduced to dethtoll.mid
6) this song served as the theme for E1L2, red light district, but it was also the default song for user-made maps that you pulled down over the internet or off one of the small legion of shovelware CDs you could pick up from electronics botique or whatever
6) thanks to it being the default song, and thanks to me playing great fucking mountains of duke 3d from 1999-2001, i heard it a lot
6) in 2001 when i first started my livejournal (lol) i needed a username and since duke3d was a big part of my life (kept me going in a bad time) i ended up using "dethtoll" as a username
Z) i don't even like the song that much, it's moody and atmospheric but not bobby prince's best at all, but it's stuck with me and i think the name has transcended its original use
