meh. rage is going to be just another engine seller. without romero carmack is just some talented programmer, not a game designer.

>> ^deathcow:

Carmack has answered several emails of mine asking about various uses for his rocket systems. It trips me out to get a response from him since he's THE CARMACK !!!!!


Nice! What did you and he say?

Hm I guess on a truly empirical scale I would only rate about a 7. I do have to say Carmack would be a 10 though. How much more depth of understanding of "computers" can you have than John Carmack? The entire GPU industry takes cues from him, and GPUs are more complex than CPUs in many ways!

Carmack is a 9? Computer hardware engineers start at level 6? LOL

Really? It fricken looks like that? Wow! Carmack is seriously a god with this stuff. The iPhone does have a pretty darn nice 3D chipset in it then I guess?

And I love how he is the quintessential nerd in his voice and mannerisms.

That was awesome. Also, Carmack is God.

One day we can only hope this is coupled with the use of quaudrotor attack fleets.

This is John Carmacks Aerospace Company

John Romero was a good map designer but the real skills were from John Carmack who was at the forefront of game engine design in the 90s. Oh, and Ion Storm was the epitome of excess with throwing money at their lavish offices and the game itself and getting little in return.

I agree with #1 though, an even more ridiculous sum of money was tossed at the Gizmondo with investors duped into thinking they would have the next greatest thing on their hands. I believe they had tens of millions in debts when they were shuttered which is worse than the Ion Storm + 3D Realms cockup combined.

Duke Nukem Forever was already a joke status five years ago and I would be surprised if anyone ever took it seriously after that.

Totally! From what I heard Grumman was pretty proud of their original design and had convinced NASA to bust the Apollo lander out of the Air & Space Museum and use it for the next trip to the moon, but then some wiseguy said "AYFKM?!" and so they hired one of the most talented game developers on the planet to design a new one. I don't get it, personally, but I hope Carmack is able to leapfrog this achievement directly into the Oval Office.

> Carmack's stabilizing software wiggle is awesome

thats what she said

So awesome. I used to follow Carmack's build journal on this project. Watching it fly was pretty cool after reading all the stories about the build.

Why is this marked w/ Video games?
Nevermind! Just realized I didn't read the whole tag. Anything with John Carmack should instantly being videogames tagged.



Not to mention * geek

If only John Carmack could innovate in Arts rather than technology.
