  1. Quake (1996: Windows) – Review

    Before reading my review, I would like to outline the criteria I use for video game reviews.  Today’s review will focus on one of id Software’s finest games, the original Quake! Along with the original Doom (1993: MS-DOS), Quake is another pioneer of not only the first-person shooter genre, but gaming as a whole. Amazing games like Doom (1993), Wolfenstein 3D (1992: MS-DOS), and Duke Nukem 3D (1996: MS-DOS) are impressive, but Quake blows them all out in the technical and graphical […]

  6. John Romero & id Software Founders Explain Catacomb 3D
    Quick post today, just a pointer to a video John Romero posted on his Youtube channel a couple of months ago (17 minutes), where he gathered (well, edited together Zoom video of) the other founders of id Software (back before it was just another cubicle w

  7. You saw that new Quake prototype that got dumped last week, right? Bo Bayles already dove into it looking for cheat codes, and he writes about some interesting findings in today's Under the Microscope:

  8. @HeavenlyPossum “After nearly 10 years, #JohnCarmack’s time helping to guide VR hardware efforts at Meta (and at Facebook/Oculus before that) have come to a close. The #IdSoftware co-founder and Doom co-creator officially left Meta on Friday night, according to an internal company memo obtained by Insider and confirmed by The New York Times. Carmack’s departure message serves as a scathing indictment of crippling inefficiency at Meta that he said he was “offended by” and that he compared to a GPU with a measly 5 percent utilization rate. “We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugar coat this,” he wrote. “I think our organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy.”

    Not listening to heeding expert technical advice is “Marky Marks” special geek power. 🤣

    Doom – Ein Name, ein Programm: id Software vor Rage, ein Wagnis. Und was für eins. Was erstmal einseitig-alt-bekannt-öde klingt, unterhält bis heute. Und wenn wir uns zurückerinnern, dann auch eines, das gewagter war, als was Mensch bis dahin kannte.
