Get Well Soon Tom Hall

As revealed in his Twitter feed, game designer and Dopefish inventor Tom Hall has suffered a stroke. You're not mistaken if you think Tom is young to be the subject of such news, as he is just 45 years old. That he is tweeting can probably be considered a positive sign, and according to a Facebook post by John Romero: "Tom is back home from the hospital and is doing WAY BETTER now! Amazingly fast, not quite full, recovery. GREAT JOB, TOM!" Tom first mentioned this in a tweet, "Um, had a stroke. Yeah, I know right! The hospital food is decent though. (Excuse if I don't respond quickly though--lotsa tests.)," followed by: "Thx for all the good thoughts. Start rehab tomorrow to fix strength/coordination in right hand/foot. Woo hoo! Rockin' the rehab! Oh yeeeah!" That upbeat message was followed later by a joke: "They took 20 vials of blood this morning. My arml [sic] went flat like apiece of paper. Lucky I had that inflation tube installed." Hall's rich résumé includes work on Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM at id, Rise of the Triad and Duke Nukem 3D at Apogee, and Anachronox, and he is currently working on an unannounced MMORPG for KingsIsle Entertainment. In addition to being creative and talented, Tom is also a very nice guy, and we wish him a swift recovery.
