This guy, and Will Wright, I totally <3

things that blow my mind

1. there's a thing in 2011 called quakecon
2. this dude comes out and talks and people apparently listen
3. i couldn't listen through so i started skipping thru the video
4. this guy is just talking sbout some wicked boring shit
5. why does he have to hold a microphone eventually?
6. also later he can't STAND ANYMORE so he STARTS SITTING?
7. HOOOOOOF BORING

dear id, naaaaaah braaaaaaah. rather play nyt crosswords iphone app. <3. will m

never post in one of my threads again.

lol canks you are funny, although my reaction was a lot like will's. I at least wanted to see some computer game footage.

I dont mind hearing these guys talk about their working. But, I live with ppl who do the same, so i'm into it.

I'm not likely to play this game but I'm so glad Carmack exists.

you can find clips of Rage (guaranteed to be garbage btw) anywhere on the internet. i think it's awesome that quakecon is still around and drawing real crowds, and that the keynote is an hour and a half of the most endearing autist in gaming history speaking frankly and passionately about the challenges of console development, instead of some flashy dime-a-dozen PR presentation. this isnt a press event and he doesnt have to pretend that he wants to kiss the ps3 on the lips and hold its hand and buy it a root beer float, unlike the gabens of the world

but we can make this a doomchat thread if yall want. i noticed that we dont really have a dedicated doom thread. talk about your favorite doom wads here

this is my fav

A few thousand miles away, Nine Inch Nails’ rock star Trent Reznor sauntered off a concert stage as the crowd roared. Security guards rushed to his side. Screaming groupies pushed backstage. Trent nodded and waved, heading back through the crowd. He didn’t have time for this. There were more important things waiting. He stepped onto his tour bus. Forsaking the drugs, the beer, the women, for the computer awaiting him. It was time again for Doom.

That is the most amazing fanfic ever. I'm completely serious.

I should see if there's a DOOM or QUAKE (as in the very oldest editions of both) so my son can see How It Used To Be.

never really got into Doom wads but I remember being super ultra mega mega pumped for Quake Rally

*DOOM or QUAKE for the XBox360, I meant to say.

Also the SIMPSON'S .wad file was pretty hilarious. At least for a little while.

That is the most amazing fanfic ever. I'm completely serious.

that's not fanfic! it's from the book "Masters of Doom" about Romero & Carmack. Entertaining book! Helluva bathroom read.

Ive been meaning to read that for years!

It's still amazing fanfic. I gotta get me a copy of that. Thanks for the tip.

carmack's the rocketeer, right? seems like an awesome dude -- if you read masters of doom it really does reinforce every stereotype about john romero though

how old are they there, god

man i do not remember making that post upthread/watching the video

not that i disagree w/ myself but yeah... 4:30 am... gotta stay off the internet after a night out i think

whenever there's a duo where one dude resembles steve jobs and one dude resembles steve wozniak, always bet on the wozchetype to be the cooler dude.

peace out

aw

can't believe I never posted on this thread to admit to going to QuakeCon twice

can believe

the writing was on the wall when he started pouring his time into the oculus rift. RIP id, you were cool in 1998

his hardware interests have always been kind of silly

go back to that time and you'll find him stanning really hard for the Atari Jaguar
