11 Things Done Faster than Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed – again! It made us wonder about how long this game has been in development, and we started to compare it to... anything that came to our minds, actually.

Kurt Cobain conquered the world in seven years

Nirvana

  1. Duration: 7 years
  2. When: 1987 – 1994

Nirvana's first album was released in 1989, and the last one, in 1993.

I can't count all the moments from my youth that I've spent with Kurt Cobain. You all know that style. Flannel, t-shirts, ripped jeans, and long hair. Smelling like teen spirit, I've came to the conclusion that I should start looking like a productive member of society around college.

Anyway, it all started in 1987 in the absolute shithole of the USA, in Aberdeen, WA (today, the city welcomes you with: "Welcome to Aberdeen – Come as You Are"). The recording of Nirvana's first album, Bleach, cost the group $606 and 17 cents, which is pretty economic. The album was moderately successful in the rock world, but that's irrelevant. The important thing is that when the band recorded Nevermind in 1991, they've become a phenomenon that the world of music will forever remember.

There's no point proving to you how legendary a status that band achieved – today, 26 years after Cobain's death, Nirvana needs no introduction, and the band's drummer is the frontman of one of the greatest rock bands out there, the Foo Fighters. The band was dissolved after Cobain took his own life on April 5, 1994.

I don't know what came to his head... I mean, no... I know it was a Remington Model 11 bullet, but you know what I mean. Cobain's death remains a sexy topic for conspiracy theorists, and there's no ending to different versions of the story and arguments speaking in favor of these. Some say he was killed by his wife, Courtney Love, others say it was said drummer, Dave Grohl, others still maintain it was reptilians. One way or another, the band needed seven years to forever change the history of music and art. And that they blew up some guitars and musical equipment, smoke cigs in an MTV studio? Well. I encourage the developers of CD Project RED to smash their computers and consoles after the release of the game. I'm dead serious. We'll bring the cameras.
