I was hoping to go this year, but I fail at planning.
Live in ATX.

One query that someone may be able to either slap-down or kindle before this event gets into full swing:
What's going on with Wolfentein's MP? Does it even exist?

I miss RtCW.

edit: RtCW > RtCW:ET
 
Time to patiently wait for the Carmack keynote to show up. :D Can't wait to hear about his programming talks! They are always interesting and thought provoking.

Carmack sounds like he would be great to work under, demanding but inspiring at the same time.

ahahah... you definitely do not read Master of Doom, have you!? :p
(Woa, I mentioned this book twice on the same day already)

Anyways, carmack apears to be a better person now, indeed! But you wouldnt like to met him in the doom2 / quake 1 days

I haven't but thanks for reminding me, it has been a gaming book I have been meaning to read for a long time. I guess, I should pick up a copy :D
 
Yeah, Masters of Doom is one of my favorite books ...seriously recommend it to anyone into gaming ...especially PC gaming.

I too miss RTCW =(

Maybe I should reinstall and run through the SP again

I did that a couple of months ago! Man, is that game good... :D
had some problems with resolutions though, since most of nowadays monitors are 16:10, idtech3 don't like that too much, so you might need to fiddle with the autoexec.cfg a bit to get it right.
Still, it still holds up quite well, and the environments are pretty badass. And the soundstrack... <3 Jebus.

I already pre-ordered the next wolfenstein, If It's 50% of it's predecessor, It's gonna be good.

Yeah i remember an interview were Carmack said that he was an egomaniac prick or something like that :lol
I think that he is more calm now. Is a freaking genius though.

What a great speaker he is. I don't think anyone in the industry can match him in terms of being open and honest about things.

John Carmack has that Carl Sagan quality to him. I could listen to those two discussing the growth of grass and be enraptured for hours.

Dammit. I went for a run and ended up missing one of my most anticipated matchups of the tournament. Grr. I did get to see the final map, at least. Cypher is a beast!
