Why Almost All Gamers Worship Carmack

[Wizard]

Clicky Clicky!

 

John Carmack = God

 

He's up there with Cthulhu and...Yeah.

[ForceX]

K'Dash, I couldn't agree with you more.

 

Carmack is a legend!!!!

I don't think I've even played Doom 2 yet, much less Doom 3. But Doom 1 was great iirc. I intend to play them all eventually, in a gore-fest of undetermined time.

Carmack is a genius...and Id's games "just feel right" when you play them. It is hard to explain, but hopefully others know what I mean.

Carmack is God. Tim Sweeney licks Carmack's boots.

No, you're still a nerd. We're all nerds here! Run out into the streets and proudly proclaim, "I'm a nerd!"

Carmack is respected for his game engines rather his games (design). Plus the fact that he shares his technical ideas and open source his engine code after some time make him a legend among the hacker fanboys.

Remember the time when the Quake 3 Arena engine make people go "wow"? It seems that with every new game iD makes nowadays makes people go "wow" in the engine department.

 

Carmack deserves every praise.

I remember when Doom made me go wow, because it had steps, and bridges, and such cool looking graphics and weapons.

 

And then Quake 1 made me go wow, because you could look everywhere with the mouse, up and down, anywhere, and the beautiful and gothic 3d environments.

 

And then Quake 2 made me go wow, because of the (3dfx voodoo) lighting, and the music, and the fact you COULD SHOOT DEAD BODIES ON THE FLOOR!

 

*trips out* wow.

Doom made me dizzy.

Quake gave me a headache.

Quake 2 made me throw up.

I've stopped playing FPS since.
