[quote]If you haven’t caught the first couple episodes from the [url=http://www.machinima.com/]Machinima.com[/url] video series focused on id Software, then it’s time you got onboard. Here are the first three episodes with the third one just being released. The series takes you through the incredible history of id Software and if you never read the Masters of DOOM book, then this is a must for you although even those that have read the book will enjoy the pics and video of the early games and test builds[/quote]

An _Amazing_ documentary about PC gaming history, right here, folks! I'll always respect [B]id[/B] for being the creators of the FPS genre, a genre I like very much, specially since I grew up playing their games... I can safely say that 1/3rd of my childhood was spent playing Doom and Quake.

Interesting, but [b]that fucking sound loop.[/b]
John Carmack is a god and John Romero is a smug bastard
I never knew how much of a big deal Commander Keen was.

This. I wouldn't really consider Romero [i]arrogant[/i] per se, but he's pretty damn vane.
"it software"? i tought it spelled "ei-die software"

It's an actual word with a definition.
he pronounced mesquite wrong.
also fuck that music loop gets annoying.
Very interesting.
Like many other people I'm sure, these guys single-handedly introduced and got me addicted to gaming.
i love all the old pictures of john romero and id and how goofy they all look.
This was surprisingly very interesting.
reminds me of minecraft in a way, except the follow up game to minecraft is a piece of shit

My response to this poster after Daikatana was released after the hype...

But seriously, i hold nothing towards John Romero.
Reminds me, need to buy Rage when it comes out.
I can't stand it when people pronounce id like " l-id " , it sounds so much better to just say " Aye-Dee Software "

no it doesnt? the word "ID" is what they meant for the company to be named - as in that part of the brain that does some shit.

opinions, mine just says that saying aye-dee sounds better
John Carmack continues to push technology, he's such a great man.

What? It hasn't even been released yet. There's like three paragraphs of information on the game.
I can't wait for Rage and DOOM 4. I love ID software. John Carmack is a genius.

You're a fucking faggot. Romero designed my all time favourite levels.
VALVe's episode was 'bout 6 parts.

also, Wolfenstein 3d was the first game I beaten, I was like 5
Amazing series. Enjoyed Valve's history as well. Haven't seen all of those I think.

Romero's levels are amazing but he is definitely a :smug:
Fuckin' hell, reminds me I have on of their books somewhere.
To make a long story short, one day one of their office doors was locked. To open it, one of the guys ran off to fetch his replica battle axe and cut it down. These were the type of people behind iD Games and I fucking love them for it.
If there was a software company I'd love to work for, that's ID.
John carmack is a genius in engine design and programming, I wish more programmers would make engines with the same amount of care and versatility
