where the vods at

and demos

and interviews with the players?

and (real) cfgs

and no Carmac

and the k?

its too bad john carmack doesn't have as much sway at the company as he used to in the old days. when they announced Todd to be the next CEO, it was obvious he gave up on having any say in the running of the company. of course i'm just talking shit :)

I don't think you are talking shit here.

Thing is, though, Carmack doesn't want to be the boss, he wants to be free and do stuff that he likes. Things at Zenimax aren't so great I think. Yes, they have tons of money which helped them lure id with the promise they will let them do what they know best but after RAGE did fail commercially, those same people with money went unhappy and have assumed real control over id. By the looks of it, John Carmack does not like this.

Long story short, I expect him (at least) to go out and kickstart a new gaming project in the coming 2 to 3 years. We, as handsome nerdish gamers, will only benefit from this. Gosh, I hope he's not too greedy to stay with Zenimax for too long.

"I expect him (at least) to go out and kickstart a new gaming project in the coming 2 to 3 years."

This would be a dream come true.

There is no way Carmack is going to quit id Software, if that's what you mean, and that doesn't make him any more greedy than anyone else not sacrificing a dream job for minor satisfaction of a bunch of strangers.

Seems to me that his dream job is somewhat threatened by big money here, at least within id. Certainly looked that way to me at his 3:30+ hour keynote which I took the time to watch. What Willits said in this interview only confirms my obvious theory.

His job is not in any way threatened, he's the technical lead, the engine. He willingly gave up the wheel based on priorities. I watched the very educational keynote too, and he is completely aware of his position, and that he made technical mistakes and is in charge of fixing his approach for the benefit of the company. He explicitly said that the priority is the id Software intellectual property, despite the fact that he wants to do all these things. And if he quit [id], with two kids and all, he would be able to achieve an even smaller fraction.

What I said doesn't contradict what you said here. I guess it all depends on how well Doom 4 is going to perform in the market. Bad -> Carmack goes away, good -> he stays at zenimax. Seems somewhat reasonable to me.

You're probably clinging to the two comments

- We don't have the luxury of taking 6 year developing turn-about
- We don't have the luxury of making a new engine for every game

That's the sad reality for everyone today, maybe for a company with near unlimited founding like Valve who scoops money with a shovel thanks to Steam, not many developers and publishers are in such position. I don't think ZeniMax is pushing them, it's the industry that is pushing everyone. You can sit on your ass only for so long until you get driven over by bankruptcy, look at 3D Realms, look at Remedy. Times have changed.

It took them ages to get out Doom 3 and it took them even longer for Rage. Look at how quick they were with Quake games and those are considered the best games from them aside the classic Doom I/II & Wolf.

I'm actually looking forward to faster development times, of course I still doubt they'll manage to be faster, at least with Doom 4 but maybe the next project.

New id game every two years might not be the best case for me as a gamer. I want new technology, not just different skins of the same thing over and over again. Successful mass market games are tailored for many but not me.

Well Quakes looked pretty different from 1 to 3, even tho it was basically the same engine, and the additional technology made them stand out from one another pretty much.

None of the quake games have had the same engine. Not by a long shot.

I didn't say they are the same engine, but it's been done like with UE, you have the base Quake engine and stuff is being added rewritten for each following game, still basically being the same eingine version 2.0, 3.0 or 10.0.

Quake 2 added features to the Quake engine, instead of QC they use C and .dlls, colored lighting new model format etc.

There was a major code re-write for Quake 3, but the biggest change was the re-write of the renderer for Doom 3 which could be said is a major step and thus could be called a complete engine re-write aka a new engine, which wasn't done for any game before Doom 3.

You're missing something imo.

Carmack is the kind of guy that can look at a device for several minutes. Take a 5 minute break.... Look up a few more facts about specs of the device... take another 5 min break.

Sit down behind his pc and type a list of the first 250 things he wants to test and program for it.
The main problem he has is that he's the only guy who understands what he means for most of those items and that each item on the list would take him several hours/days/months to test/program.

Especially when the devices have lots of processing power he can come up with ideas to program on there which are just insane.

Like he spend years programming how light would come off of things in a computer engine and how to best use the gpu/cpu in order to calculate that. (development of doom3)

It also took several years in order to nail down how to infinitely increase resolution on a 3d image (theory behind mega texturing and development for rage).


Carmack "wants to be able to do all these things" but he can't because he always has to choose... He simply can't clone himself 250 times and then do every item on his list simultaneously.
Being employed at id software has nothing to do with this.

John Carmack needs a Tim Willits or a John Romero by his side. Alone, he'll just make an unplayable tech demo nobody is going to be interested in.

But if Carmack / Willts / etc leave and "restart" id somewhen, then omg.

No way a guy like this is going to try doing anything big alone. There will be serious candidates with millions of backing, including our own moneys :D

I wasn't talking about investors :)

When id games were popular, computer graphics was at very early stage of development and even "tech demo" kind of game would sell a lot. It were times when simple things like non-perpendicular walls and multi-level floors produced wow-effect like landing on the Moon.
Nowadays, engine doesn't make THAT much difference and any game can easily have sufficient amount of graphics that is accepted as "good" by most players, without any extreme tech genius in team. So I don't think that Carmack would play a key role in any game development company today like it was in 1990-s.

I would pay for his next tech demo in the form of more niche game. id's games are niche anyway. The general public repeatedly fails to get that and then complains about the lack of a calf under the ox. I would like to play niche games powered by Carmack's tech.

I'm not so sure - for example look at the new Unreal engine. It looks amazing.

But in general I agree - what makes or breaks a games is the design. Doom1 would have NEVER been so popular if it had shitty design, even with angled walls and different floor heights.

Like Quake 3 Arena?

Are you saying q3 is an unplayable tech demo?

No. I'm saying Carmack was the creative force behind Quake 3 Arena.

Carmack is a programmer. I'm pretty sure the actual game designers like Willits and Graeme Devine etc were the driving force behind the whole q3 vision.

But that's because you're stupid and just make up things as you go along.

Please reply coherently next time.

he can team up with 2gd and help him making reborn ^^

I doubt being a CEO is Carmack's life goal. He is the steak of the whole company and he does what he loves. Why would he want to be a paper pusher under a parent company.

wrong 'reply to'?

404? :(

yep 404ed

fixed. wonder if it's been deemed too embarrassing? haha

404 ;(

> John Carmack was able to give one detail about Doom 4 during his keynote. “Everyone knows what Doom is,” he told the crowd. “There are demons and shotguns.”

LOL

its true, i heard a rumor, somethings going on in the uac stations ;)

http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Union_Aerospace_Corporation

they have lost me completely during this quakecon, don't care anymore

id Software is irrelevant PC gaming company nowadays. They spent a decade on Rage and it's not even that good.

Long gone are the days of Doom, Heretic, Wolf 3D etc.

Its ok that Carmack openly apologizes for these issues but I feel he somehow covers up the main flaw of this game, namely the engine which he himself is responsible for. The texture loading when turning around is absolutely awful and I never thought id could fail so massively on a technical level.

Also the textures themselves are of such a low quality, I could as well play without my glasses.

But hearing that the artists were (understandably) crushed when they were told their work had to be compressed more and more to make the game run on the consoles at least revokes the earlier news that the textures do not exist in high quality. So there is still hope for an hd-patch in the future.

Knowing about these issues I still couldnt resist to buy the game twice even (one as a gift) for Quakecon-bargain 9,99 and just hope for a fix / will wait some years until a pcs raw power can iron out the ugly loading-bug.

Surely though DOOM IV unleashes hell again and the world will be in order.

Firstly - that article had the worstest grammar ever!

Secondly - there 'are' some texture loading fixes Charon. If you look on youtube you may get something that helps.

Hope so :o)

you can't buy games like that just hoping that 100 years later a newly version will fix it

they need new, young and fresh people working there

Doom 4 is going to suck. The shitty doom 3 xpac is going to suck even more. Why can't they do anything right?

todd said (in late 2011?) that there was only 1 guy working on doom4, that's why they didn't show anything at qcon 2011 (along with the fact that it would steal Rage's thunder). I think this d3 bfg edition is just a time killer in-between the projects, so ID has something to talk about in the meantime because they're not very far into d4. and probably can't show off anything good. and because now bethesda makes all the decisions xD.

>I think this d3 bfg edition is just a time killer in-between the projects

bfg started as that, said carmack. its clever, an update game for consoles, the doom name will get more popularity, whichs helps doom 4.

i buy bfg for sure.

“To be honest, this all revolves around John. John always wants to change the technology. He wanted always to completely change the tech. He mentioned that in the keynote. We could have done Doom 3 with Quake 3, and then Doom 4 with modified Quake 3 to Quake to Doom tech, and then Rage 1 with that tech, and then Rage 2 with id Tech 5. We would have had three other games we could have done in the same time frame,” he said. “That’s what everyone else does, do you think Unreal 2, 3, 4 is really that different?”

That is why id has sucked so bad lately. Carmack is a genius but he's just chasing novelty tech for the sake of the tech, not the games anymore. id doesn't even license that much engine tech anymore so it's not even that good apparently. Yet Carmack always want to do something new and different. It's not like in the 90s where you could make big gains and features which resulted in huge differences in graphics.

id needs to focus on gameplay and their roots. I think Doom 4 will really be the make or break point for id. They have already lost the hardcore fans but maybe they can get us back or if they fail perhaps they will lose the casual market as well.

yet tech-wise id's been late anyway since.....well, quake3 it seems.

Not really behind, they just had different priorities; Visuals vs. performance at least for Rage. And Carmack seems to tailor the engine for the game they're making, makes it hard to have all the shit UE has, when UE is virtually the same engine since it started, only building it on and on - works for them tho and it's a great engine as many games show us.

That said, I don't like Rage at all, it still looks and feels better as any UE2.5/3.0 engine game out there.

As for the Source engine, it still looks nice but it runs like shit, and I have this feeling the newly announced Source 2 will have the same performance issues.

The source engine would runs like shit??? LOL! as far as i know, is one of the lightest engines out right now.... it runs better than quake live, on the same machine.... the billions of mods developed on the source engine, and the number of games based on it are the greatest evidence.

and it crashes randomly like motherfucker, and has super random load times which can take from 15 to 150 seconds to load the same level, depending in what mood the engine is.

is still unable to alt+tab properly, without 90% of players being invisible after you do that, or maybe a random crash, takes again 5 to 150 seconds to load back into the game when you alt+tab.

I can reproduce a crash by just changing resolutions inside the game. Just change it twice once after the other and the game is guaranteed to crash, known bug since 2007, no work has been done.

etc., etc.

and it's a super resource hog.

i don't know what problems your computer has, but it's one of the best and mostly one of the lightest engines actually; the billions of mods developed on the source engine, and the number of games based on it are the greatest evidence.

'newly announced source 2'

this is the announcement or did I miss something? http://pastebin.com/ddbuCHa6

When Romero and all the other guys left or were fired that's when the demise of id software began. When John had more control his robot like nature just didn't work. You need wild, creative mother fuckers like Romero in there to complement that kind of genius. That's why Doom and Quake are cult classics. Everything else after that has simply been a regurgitation on a new engine.

I think Paul Steed, the Q3 modeller was the last crazy guy to get fired, and his low-poly models are still cooler than anything they came up with afterwards...

its kinda funny because everything after that has sucked total dick :(

Quake is a fps only because they had no idea how to implement Romero's crazy/retarded ideas.

and rocket jump and weird movement jumps are engine bugs.

Yup. They followed Carmack's lead there.

I think we always need at least one man who thinks about something new. And John is the right man. I don't know, maybe he needs a ground, a space, where he can experiment and create his technologies, while whole team works on same engine and creates various games on same engine to satisfy fappers.

I doubt that without John FPS genre would be where it is now. Anyway... who knows.

Yea, now the whole genre is almost non existant, with cod and bf being the most popular games.

"That is why id has sucked so bad lately. Carmack is a genius but he's just chasing novelty tech for the sake of the tech, not the games anymore."

It appears (now) that he is aware of this.

You'd think he would have figured that out a long time ago. :(

for me its still unclear how much critic carmack has on rage, a bit or totally.

well we are now in "bethesda mode", no early infos anymore. i have the feeling that carmack / id wants to talk about doom4 but cant, because its against the new rule from bethesda.

Willits is an idiot. Still remembering him praising q4 on qcon in fake excitement, and pretending to wet his pants while showing the stroggification cut in sequence.

And to reiterate: who cares anyway? Carmack suddenly realizing that they can't do everything from scratch anymore with decade long development cycles? Wow, big deal. He should have known that and taken steps 10 years ago.

Carmack loving to develop for mobiles? Wow, big deal. Maybe he should start caring for the games instead of platforms and graphics.

Doom 4? Wow, big deal. After Carmack telling us what went wrong with all their previous games - what we already knew anyway - I'm very excited to see what's going to go wrong with this one. Besides, saving the quake series wouldn't be that bad of an idea neither, would it?

Really, those clowns should acknowledge that they're still living off their early Doom and Quake fame. Doom3, Quake4, Rage - all failed to attract a long term community and fan base. Products pushed into markets well prepared by year long media hype but ultimately disappointing.

Still, it was amusing to hear Carmack saying that QL basically carried itself through memberships .... :):):)

>Carmack loving to develop for mobiles?

for him its a) techwise b) he was involved in gamedesign (rpg on java). it was his idea to built games that fitted for each mobile plattform, gameplay and controls. and it worked good, rpg series on java mobile with much humor (doom rpg, orcs & elves), railshooter on ios (doom resurrection, rage ios). it allowed me to buy these gadgets i never would bought it (nintendo ds, ipod).

no excuses
he could care for big names as well

these games were gapfillers. he was working mainly on id tech 5. if id skips the engine built they are only another studio, that uses the unreal engine. it will be interesting if carmack builts more engines, ones for sure, he will not have the time for that like before.

That's what I said - Carmack's "engine" building obsession, including all reinventing the wheel each time around, is seriously taking away focus and resources from the development of actual gaming experience.

Also, since Doom3 it should be clear to everybody that graphics are highly overrated. Even more so in multiplayer games, where ppl are gladly filtering out redundant detail and lighting to NOT be distracted.

Also, tech genius Carmack still seems to have no clue as to how much easy modability and provision of user created content is key for the long term success of their games. Somebody please educate him on that point.

In some way, Mr.Rocket appears to be on a relentless mission to build the ultimate engine without noticing that ppl stopped caring a long time ago ...

Quake 4 was developed mostly by Raven, and despite to your yapping it was an enjoyable and memorable single player experience, and that's what they promoted, not the multiplayer part. Same with Doom 3.

There will be a Quake 5 after Doom 4, they said that couple of years ago, it's their two biggest IPs ofc they wont let one fade.

But if you think there will be another "arena" style Quake you are probably mistaken, it will most likely be another single player with a multiplayer tack-on, and it's probably going to be fine not perfect but fine. People just need to accept change, or if they can't handle it stick with the classics and play what is fun to them.

I didn't play Quake 4 multiplayer cause I didn't like it, but I still enjoyed Quake 3, so all was fine, a bit disappointed, but no biggie.

did you really like doom3's and quake4s sp? lololololololollolololoololollololololoolollolololoolollololololololololololololololololololololololololollollllllooololollololoolollololollolololoololololololololololollloloolololololololollllllllllllllllllllololllololololololollolololololololololololololololllolololllolololololo

also you forgot to mention your thoughts on d3 mp

Doom3 sp was pretty cool, i enjoyed it a lot and finished it many times, RoE was awesome.

Quake4 sp sucked tho, never finished it, boring and too many reused textures from Doom3 was zzzzz.

D3 was ok. Nothing overwhelming or repeatedly to go back to though.

Q4 SP, the marines with their brush hair cuts and stereotypical blabber killed it for me. Naturalism done the wrong way.

Crouch sliding was still a sweet addition though, having kind of fond memories there.

<333 Crouch sliding

RoE was ok, but d3 sp was the most repetitive and predictable game I have ever played. The hell level was quite nice....but it was only one, in a doom game :/

>d3 sp was the most repetitive and predictable game

' John Carmack was able to give one detail about Doom 4 during his keynote. “Everyone knows what Doom is,” he told the crowd. “There are demons and shotguns.” '

I crapped myself when it was out with a 29" TV and surround sound, all lights out. Made some of the people that i showed it have kind of seizures or asking me to stop it. Awesome textures, sound and realtime lighting packed in a polished product. It was never meant to be mass effect :)

yeah i remember when d3 came out, it was fucking amazing, and when i saw graphics i was like HOLY FUCK PEOPLE IN THIS GAME LOOK LIKE REAL PEOPLE

i dont know why people are complaining about d3, maybe because they had shit pc when it came out and played it after some time when the graphics werent as good?

I spent $2500 on a pc just to play doom3 when it was released.

Generic and repetitive. But more than that, doom was never supposed to be a screamer but the complete opposite. Action packed hell themed instead of small corridors with 10 monsters per level.

Also carmack confirmed on his keynote that the reason behind that was purely technical (achieve more fps in consoles) and not game design, which should be fixed in the re-re-re-re-release.

I played both through and I found them enjoyable including the expansion pack. Actually quite more enjoyable as most modern games including Rage.

On the other hand I though both Half-Life 1 & 2 were utter shit, and to this day I still don't know why people and the media likes them so much.

I didn't care much for D3 or Q4 mp.

lllololol different tastes and opinions.

Thanks for emphasizing my point.

Didn't like too much what they did (and promoting what they did as being what they did didn't make it any better). And, looking into the future, I'm doubting that they've learned the lessons they should have.

"all failed to attract a long term community and fan base"

unless you've been living under a rock for the last 10 years, you'll notice all new/modern games don't have long term community and fan base. the fan base lasts until a newer game comes out.

also, doom3 was a pretty fucking good game (only played singleplayer).

Must be the dumbest post I've ever read here.

First take picks from the many franchises which regularly have seen releases during the past decade, due to their continuing success
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-sel...franchises

Then, exempli gratia, consider how old q4 is, and how id actually had to backpaddle from q4 to q3(ql) due to both, dwindling interest and not having anything else in the pipeline.

Finally, to support comprehension of the point I made, maybe grow a brain (or whatever they're using as substitute around your place).

Thanks.

hey, read your post.

nice post.

you manage to sound more stupid then some certified people here.

enjoy bro!

BEST OF LUCK!

I don't get all the hate against the later generation of id games like doom 3, q4 and rage. I can unstand that a lot of people on this site (being somehow a hidden fortress for competitive FPS) are disappointed with the multiplayer capabilities of these games.Because uumm yeah, the MP experience was pretty bad.

The SP experience, however, was decent to pretty good. id never fails to make shooters have their unique pace and gameflow that only they can pull off. It just feels fluid and fun to blow foes and enemies to pieces. Not too complex, but also not too simple. Just right.

I do think that the pure creativity and uniqueness of the old id is indeed gone, but that is just the natural process of the gaming business. It's all money / CEO and project management methodology now. Opposed to the good old days where developpers would design the shub niggurath model between a pizza slice, a smoking blunt, metal music and an episode of star trek sort to speak of.

Not forgetting other important facts : people just grow up, we live in a high demanding society and are never pleased with anything, and we find it easier to piss on things instead of finding the positive items. Sorry, but you guys just screw it for yourself. :p

Anyhoo .. I don't think the glorious days for arena based shooters will every return as on a massive boom that was quake 1 to quake 3. Instead, we will be stuck with corporate crap that appeals to the masses. Any healthy business will follow that same money (obviously) and so will id, eventually.

yeah. and theres a another problem, fps gameplay has just changed to attract players, its cod all over. no studio is safe to copy that formular.

not sure how many units were sold from rage, but it seems the "id software" name alone dont sell anymore, the kids are out of touch with id games. it seems the multiplayer game brink sold more units than the singleplayer game rage. i dont get how that happened, rtcw/et players gave up to have a follower when wolfenstein 2009 mp arrived. so was it the hype with brink and the splash damage name (developers from enemy territory and quakewars)?

Dude, the ppl hanging out here are, on average, not the industrie's preferred customers, playing 3 times through SP before buying the next game.

The ppl you're talking to prefer competition, and they like games providing a broad skill range to improve on over time. It's the kind of ppl who've been making chess such a successful game over so many hundreds of years.

Feel free to go back to and enjoy your SP experience though.

players waited for a good multiplayer follower game (ut3, q4, css, wolfenstein / brink) and they all were bad or average. the question is why :>

@ Anonymous im interested in a singleplayer game from id, i havent high hopes for mp anymore because the other studios didnt deliver as well. im with you doom 3, q4 and rage = decent to pretty good. but it not give my the kick like with doom and quake classic. so maybe i like the old gamedesign more, i have nothing against doom classic pixels, my mind imagenes the real look of the monsters :>

"Ben Kuchera, of The Penny Arcade Report, sat down with id Software's Tim Willits at QuakeCon 2012 to discuss Doom, Rage, and lessons learned."
Doom and Rage took the wrong turn, by being linear, console-based uninspired and half-developed games.
Lesson learned by Tim Willits and Company: omg, must create games more linear, more dumb consoles friendly and more retarded. Hmm, maybe we should completely eliminate the console in our next game.
Lesson "learned".

console games are financially succesfull, at least in north america. in europe the pc stills is alive. willits was playing rage with console controllers. maybe when a game is designed for a special plattform, on consoles, we should play it on that.

I don't care for their financial situation
Their lack of good innovations, poor gameplay and mediocre graphics is what brought id Soft. in this situation -having to code for consoles and be under others' command in order to survive.

Maybe Tim Willits and the team should eat less and spend less money on chicks and irrelevant stuff in general. This is what it is needed 1st to come out with a good game. Their physical lazyness affected their brain. Hard business to survive in the creative industry when you have nothing to express.

in your first post you critized console gamedesign. well im in of course. console tube ways or a big quadratic map (crysis 2), controlls for consoles. i just wanted to throw in this wont change in the future. we can do critic as we want, its pointless. 90% of the major studios doing multiplatform with console gamedesign and gameplay.

from what i understand splash damage is now free from publishers, and making a title for console and a different title for pc. id isnt free in decisions.

I wish id would return to horde style combat ala the original Doom 1 and 2. That's much more interesting than fight one or a few big tough monsters at once. Killing hordes of monsters with various properties is fun. Also getting monsters to fight each other is awesome and few games have that.

epic fiend vs ogre battles in q1

and shambler vs all :D

Why are you talking about q1 games when your account is less than two months old...

What is your real alias, or did something happen...

I didn't expect that comment to hurt anyone's feelings, let alone a game "designer". rofl

Why do you continually avoid simple questions and reply in a way which is not even related to what was said to give you an opportunity to respond in way which you wish you could under logical terms. It just makes you sound bitter and desperate.

Its just a question, your account here is 2 months old, yet you are talking about a quake game from over 10 years ago, so I was simply asking why have you registered a new account and would you like to tell us what happened for you to change it and more importantly, why the secrecy surrounding your old alias...

I think its a fair question, if you want to act like an creepo then be my guest...

I'm guessing you're just butthurt about not having played q1 back in the day, or sucked so much at it you never saw a fiend fighting an ogre, and that makes you mad & jelly :> Talk about victims of gaming, lol

Once again, your avoidance of a perfectly reasonable question about something as simple as your online history is met with a constant barrage of deflection and attempts to somehow make me feel what I have done to you on more convincing circumstances.

Why does such a simple question invoke such a reaction from you...

Yep, you're definitely butthurt.

With all due respect, it is you that has changed his alias recently and avoids and defelects anything to do with your online presence.

Gary Glitter has taken less steps to hiding his past than you!

I can't imagine how ruining news posts with the same old butthurt nonsense is going to make you feel any better about your miserable existence. The answer lies beyond your front door. Carpe diem jamerius!

I am not ruining anything, I simply asked if you had any links to your gaming past as you appear to have been in the scene for over ten years but do not share anything about you until a month or two ago where you spammed over 450 comments in your first month.

This is a gaming community site, its reasonable for the readers to enquire about other users.

Your constant avoidance of a simple request does you no favours.

you stole someone else's name and demand people to share their cv rofl

It's a case of...

Is it picture time again..

I thought this would amuse you, I edited a post I made yesterday about an hour ago saying you would start submitting images when you were rattled.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305511/re-can-...pid2305511

"Like Wotan will probably post an image of me within the next two hours in another thread, if he does, then I defo know he is rattled!"

Less than 2 hours later you are doing that very thing!!!

:)

It does affect me, everything we see in this world has an affect on us.

Knowing when to use affect or effect in a sentence can be a challenge.

You would know!

Knowing what words mean is several orders of magnitude above knowing how to spell them :)

Hang on, are you just owning yourself on purpose here?

I was simply quoting and left out the marks.
I forgot how tightly wound I have you.

Sure, that's why you raged when you saw me mention Quake 1 lol!

I simply asked you what your alias gaming past was, then you accused me of being raged cos you did not want to reveal the truth on something so simple.

You claim to talk about games from ten + years ago, but you have shared no gaming history with this community from less than 2 months ago.

So I was just hoping you would give us an insight so we know you know what you are talking about.

Unless of course you are hiding for some reason...

Why wont you answer a very simple question, why do you have to creep around using aliases and making dozens of images.

Are you worried your words alone are not quite hitting the spot. If you want to alias that is fine, but you should not try to lie and con other users.

yap yap yap

Not once have I used that word, if you do a CTRL+F you will see it is all you.

Ehr. Mah. Gerds!

just because the account is new doesnt mean he previously had another one. I first registered here in 2006, yet had been playing and modding for id games for 10+ years before that.

don't break their logic :)

Right but thats over 6 years ago. Also you did not post over 450 posts in your first months membership on the site.

Thats not a casual user. You think someone with such a big mouth would keep quiet for ten + years...I do not think so.

You're like one of those yappy little rat-dogs that gets all worked up whenever a newcomer appears... I didn't realize this site was "your turf" lol. How sad.

Whenever a new comer comes along...

You are the first person I have ever done this too, in over ten years here, the levels of mis representation you jump too are toxic.

So do you have any gaming history on any gaming website, i am just curious to see what happens if i keep pushing you.

Forgive me...

yap yap yap

Still more avoidance and blaming the behavior stemming from your complete lack of participation as a community member.

I have a right to ask this question, you have not given me an answer or told you would not be doing so. So I can only assume its still up for discussion, as for wrecking threads, oh the irony...

So if you tell me you are not going to answer, that will be fine and users can draw their own conclusions....

or you can link to an existing account of yours on another site or this, you would think someone who was following quake 1 this would not be an issue..

yap yap yap

See now you are just spamming and have become dysfunctional.

For the sake of the thread I will let it go as I feel I have done a good enough job of raising the point I wanted to.

You are free to creep around again.

yap yap yap

Now you are just doing what you are just accusing others of doing.

Look how easy I read you...

I guess you just knew you were going to make an arse of yourself :>

Actually I just wanted to see if i was as smart as I thought I was.

Guess not.

Skim reading on the net and making a mistake. True story!

oh yeah...
http://picturepush.com/public/8928080

Don't worry, those 2/3 letter words can be tricky!

"Knowing what words mean is several orders of magnitude above knowing how to spell them :)"

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305883/re-the-...pid2305883

And several orders of magnitude above that is actually being able to read :)

The fact that I appear to have worn you down so hard that the entirety of your replies now revolve around linking to a typo from last month is at least encouraging for me.

Getting you justify your mistakes is just a bonus.

So anyway, going back to the subject that you tried in vain to divert, do you have any history on any other gaming site from more than two months ago...

You quote games between players from near 15 years ago, but you go all funny when it comes to talking about the alias you are hiding behind.

yap yap yap

Also: "You quote games between players from near 15 years ago"

Man, you're so full of fail...

Rich coming from a guy whose immediate gene pool is built from the losers of two world wars..

lol u mad!

Just to be clear... you do now realize I wasn't talking about players right? When someone says "epic fiend vs ogre battles in q1" (in a conversation about monsters attacking eachother in SP), and you think I'm talking about multiplayer matches between two players ..................... it means:

You can't read. (Further proof of this here)

So much fail... if must be so frustrating for you to always think "Ha ha! Surely I will own him this time!" and just end up owning yourself each time.

Get a life Jam. You suck at trolling, and I doubt it pays well.

This is the part where you explain how getting ridiculed was all part of your plan since the beginning...... lol

It was a typo, I meant to say "you quote games from 15 years ago", referring to quake 1 as I originally said. Easy mistake to make when you are reading multiple threads on a gaming site and not exactly putting all your resources into it at 70 words per minute in between tea.

Yes I can see you got all excited because I made a typo last month, I had already replied and shown I have used the correct syntax in the past, (http://www.esreality.com/post/2305867/re-the-...pid2305867 but such is your desperation you keep bringing it up and I can do the same for you if I want. http://picturepush.com/public/8928080 and I could find plenty of other examples, but I will leave that for you.

The bottom line is your are creepy liar, who shares nothing about his gaming past because he is an existing butt hurt esr user who is aliasing and trying to reinvent himself, but I will not let you.
Everything else you attempt to do is designed to deflect from that.

I have already gotten you to admit defeat to me in the past.
http://www.esreality.com/files/placeimages/2012/89203-heil.jpg

And your emotional state is so easy to control and manipulate I even know when you are about to post pictures , in fact, I even know what pictures you are going to post, such is the predictability of your mental health issues and control I have over you.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305800/re-the-...pid2305800

You can hide behind as many aliases as you want, I will keep bringing it up until I feel I have exposed your creepy aliasing ways.

In the meantime, you can keep talking about typos and showing your desperation by trying to draw massive statements from them.

You can alias all you want, you are still the same loser behind them.

All I want to do is bring enough attention to this issue about you and your alias and I will leave you alone.

yap yap yap

So you keep saying, but if you do a CTRL+F you will see the only one "yapping" is you, but people with your issues are always the same.

Never aware of their own actions and predictability .

I just wanted to bring it to the attention of other users to halt your escapist actions regarding your alias.

yap yap

"You're like one of those yappy little rat-dogs that gets all worked up"
Wotan

yes, you are :>

sounds more convincing when you are not barking like a dog for everyone to see.

like this?

Mine is called a reply.

Yours is called "unaware".

Your claim
http://picturepush.com/public/8935715

Your actions
http://picturepush.com/public/8935712

You are welcome...

I wonder if anyone actually clicks on these links you post. I don't :(

So you openly admit to not reading replies to their full extent, but still reply and form conclusions from what is said...

Thanks for that...

like this?

Still hiding behind an alias and trying to reinvent yourself, but all your old problems keep spilling out.

Now you are known as the guy who are guy who argues with Jamerio.

I defined your id.

Of course, that's why you were so eager to have another go at me here!

You're just pissed off that you always end up owning yourself whenever you try to own me, and this leads you to try and own me more and you just end up owning yourself again and again!

You only have yourself to blame :>

All I asked was simple question regarding your alias, and one which you have still not answered. Cant image why...

The fact that you perceive that as having a go at you because it would spoil your little charade of trying to reinvent yourself after whatever meltdown or ban you had prior shows what an emotionally broken little child you are, parents buy you a pc and AOL and left you to rott huh...

I bullied you last month and got you to submit...
http://www.esreality.com/files/placeimages/2012/89202-heil.jpg

Now I simply poke you from time to time and have some fun and games with you.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305800/re-the-...pid2305800

haha!

Yet nobody knows anything about you, no name, no age, no location, no photo, even asking you about your gaming history from before 6 weeks ago turns you into a spammy child who spams threads with images when you raise his emotional state to the point where he feels his words are no longer working.

Looks to me like you are the one who chooses selective reality.

Constant avoidance of the core issues.

Yes I know when you are angry you hit photoshop

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305867/re-the-...pid2305867

Oh just read this from you....

http://www.esreality.com/post/2299328/guild-wars-2/

"In any case... I only really played WoW because it was suitable entertainment while I listened to my favourite music while being stoned out of my eyeballs. Shit was $$$$."

a WOW player who smokes drugs. No worries, it all makes sense now so you do not need to post anything about you.

I really should have checked that earlier 8>.

Yes I have sent you into an endless loop again, maybe some more drugs and wow to escape your core issues, and a batch of photoshop images to the guy that reminded you of them.

Dont worry mate, you will soon be in digital world of trolls and ogres, with some quality hash and blazing music to drown out reality!!!!

And then you can do it all over a gain tomorrow!!!!

oh oh, looks like the psycho wow player is on full on rage mode!

I guess I will have to use my +10 wotan admitted defeat fail jpeg to wind him up some more.



I already used my predictive amulet of fail on him!!!!

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305867/re-the-...pid2305867

You only need to to post one picture of yourself

How many images will you make this time till you calm down and then you can lose yourself in drugs and world craft again...

Did I hit a nerve 8>

Do your parents ever distract you when you are playing wow and on drugs and do you get angry at them for spoiling your adventure..

Did wow come before the drugs and which one has damaged you the most...

is this more fun than drugs and wow and listenting to linkin park in winamp...

Did you know the image I submitted after you has been approved before yours.

http://picturepush.com/public/8944347

I wonder why :>

I wonder why you ever admitted I won.
http://picturepush.com/public/8743232

Does that self loathing from admitting defeat drive you on...

Did you know my replies take a few seconds and yours take over a minute in an image editing program and is it that ratio that made you quit last time....

u mad?

No, it all went to plan...

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305800/re-the-...pid2305800

So this was all part of your plan? You see... no matter how hard you try, you always end up owning yourself Jam :> You must feel so frustrated. But you only have yourself to blame...

You even went and edited the comment! Haha!

yes, my plan was to expose your mental health problems.

I did not think you would go so far as to post an image of someone different after you had already posted over 5o images of me as someone different and previously acknowledged that the person you are now implying is me after you had already admitted it was not.

http://picturepush.com/public/8953943

Check mate nut case.

I did not think you would go so far as to post an image of someone different after you had already posted over 5o images of me as someone different and previously acknowledged that the person you are now implying is me after you had already admitted it was not.

"Why are you talking about q1 games when your account is less than two months old..." - Jamerio

"You quote games between players from near 15 years ago..." - Jamerio

"It was a typo, I meant to say "you quote games from 15 years ago", referring to quake 1 as I originally said" - Jamerio

It wasn't a typo Jamerio. It's called a fail. lol!

You also call this a typo.... hahaha. Everything is a typo!

The latter is an obvious mistake as I linked to 3 examples of me using the words in the correct context for each version.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305800/re-the-...pid2305800

If it was a genuine misunderstanding on my part there would not be EARLIER examples in existence of me using the word correctly, you are just desperate to avoid the core issue of you aliasing on ESR.

And seeing as I have just proven that you elevate genuine mistakes of mine to some deep seated lack of intelligence, it does not really matter what you think because you will only accept the version that works best with the chip on your shoulder.

I do realise that asking you to define your fake alias to a time before you made it up in June is difficult, but I will continue to prod and probe you until I enter get a straight answer, or I feel that point is reached where users are fully aware regarding your actions.

Enjoy the olympics, you are doing really well 8>

that's right jam, it was a typo, lol!

See I knew you would come round. lol.

When reading "you really think we are going to buy you have an IQ of 132"... you are convinced that "buy" should be "by".

Your explanation: IT WAS A TYPO!

That's funny. A typo usually involves typing :>

When wanting to type "You quote games from 15 years ago" you accidentally typed "You quote games between players from near 15 years ago"

Your explanation: IT WAS A TYPO!

That's even funnier. How your fingers accidentally typed "between players" there is a true mystery! :>

Let's face it Jamerio, your whole life has been one big typo :)

I had already used the word correctly before, so its a typo.
You just do not want to acknowledge it.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305800/re-the-...pid2305800

If you do not have the maturity to acknowledge such a simple thing then it does not surprise me you are open to anything else.

The fact that you have made similar mistakes seems to have gone unnoticed in you, but most sociopaths are like that, so I will not hold it against you. Just point it out...

http://picturepush.com/public/8928080

As for life, anytime you want to share your real life or online one with the world beyond the fake alias you made in June 2012 it will be welcome.

lol, you're going full retard again

All makes sense to me, which is more than can be said for what you are saying and doing...

http://www.esreality.com/post/2306700/re-the-...pid2306700

So what you're saying is, every time you have ever quoted someone and used it as "evidence" against them, or used it to claim "victory" in the "battle" at hand, all they actually had to do was say that "it was a typo" just like you did here?

I think you just confirmed once and for all, beyond all doubt, that you are actually fully retarded.

I have over 18k posts here and over a million words in over 7 years, if what I am apparently doing is as common as you imply you should be able to come back with ten separate examples. No problem.

<INSERT EXCUSE BELOW>

:))))

I just owned you.

I thought you might.

Why are you editing 3 days later...

http://www.esreality.com/post/2309591/re-esr-...pid2309591

Why just own you when I can own you AND rage you?

Even >>if<< you did own and rage me, it would be less than admitting defeat.

http://www.esreality.com/files/placeimages/20...german.jpg

plus given you admitted taking drugs, I am afraid we are not going to be able to establish if you are of suitable state of mind.

http://picturepush.com/public/8982472

For someone who is apparently owned, I sure feel smug right now...

It was a typo!

I imagine we'll reach 10 examples in no time :>

I explained myself fine and it still stands, your drug habbit fueled by your inner resentment from admitting defeat to me has simple made it impossible for you tell the different between fact and fiction.

You admitted to taking drugs long before the things you are now referencing, so I am afraid you really tarnished yourself as we do not know if you are currently under the influence or are suffering damage from when you were.

They say paranoia is one of the key ingredients shared by druggies, and this seems to be something you are demonstrating here.

Typos!

The date of your admission regarding your drug habbit was JULY 30th
http://picturepush.com/public/8982472
http://www.esreality.com/post/2299328/guild-wars-2/

The post you keep linking to is at least a week AFTER you said this...

I am afraid no one knows if you are of sound state of mind or not, or whether damage has been done.

I'm just pointing out that you keep on owning yourself spectacularly time after time. Even a rock with an arrow painted on it could do the same job... stoned or not :>

And I am just saying, due to your drug habbit and admission of being a druggy the things you are saying NOW is AFTER your admission of drug abuse.

So you are not really going to be able to establish if what you think or perceive things is really true or not.

You self owned yourself.

It's funny because while you normally simply own yourself, on this occasion you also owned your future self too :>

You owned yourself because the thing you now believe to be true is AFTER you admitted you are a druggy.

My points are chronologically superior to yours. Sorry.

My points are chronologically superior to yours. Sorry.

If you need some advice on compression, just let us know!!!!!

Accidentally clicked on a .gif. I'm stoned as fuck :>

Raged as fuck more like.

I guess you are after this!

But you are just saying that because of this...

http://www.esreality.com/files/placeimages/20...german.jpg

http://picturepush.com/public/8953943

lol probation. It'd be really fun seeing Jamerio banned, but he already has 4 more accounts anyway.

Actually, I'm pretty certain I did post a lot in the first few months here (I only registered some time after q4max was released).

There are plenty of people who know all about id games who don't post here. There are other forums on the internet where people may be "hiding" away from your view. For example, perhaps this new poster is a refugee from forumplanet (planetquake / planetdoom), which was shut down recently.

Its not how much one posts, its the content that they post, his was bickering and trolling. yours was relatively functional.

The bottom line is the guy posts nothing about himself anywhere apart from what he said here in the last two months.

if he has been following the scene for so long, he would have no issues posting to another site.

The fact that he does not, is in sync with what I said.

Ask him yourself.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2305788/re-quak...pid2305788

> (planetquake / planetdoom), which was shut down recently.

:((

FWIW, PQ / PD are still going, it was just the forums that were closed.

Ah i see, not so sad then :). I thought all the resources available on planet* were dumped.

Oh, a lot of content has definitely been deleted over the last few years.

There may have been another cull at the same time as dropping the forums although I'm not aware of that (my PQ hosted site was deleted a couple of years back - at the same time as all @planetquake.com email addresses)

However the site is still there, and there is still some content there, and is tracking news stories etc (and film quote of the day of course!).

Why deleting things when each day bandwith/storage becomes cheaper and cheaper?

nfi seems crazy to me too. I guess GSI didn't feel it worth spending even a little bit of resources on things they considered obsolete

Good points :)

>I wish id would return to horde style combat ala the original Doom 1 and 2.

there was serious sam 3, not very good and the humor from the old games were missing :(

im not sure the single monster looming in doom 3 was planed, maybe it was the bad performance.

for me the classic doom monsters had personalitys, every single enemy was working, i just played doom 2 rpg on ios and they working still today. the greatest moment was when the archvile revived all the imps i fraged before xD (you can chainsaw enemys and get xp and items). the revive idea is just genius and very old. thats i call creative. btw some few monsters sucked of course.

but i know today fps is, the player comes to a big room and need tactics to catch them all, only a few enemies (sneak behind something to be invisible, lay traps with something, snipe). in some games i like this, use enviroment / explore the room, but than i think ai is dump as fuck so why am i ducking behind a crater, only because they can aim 100%. if the bots could do intelligent things it were okay to fortify and be silence to a point.

lets face it, if we like the old gameplay we should play the old games. i like 2d platformers too, metroid / castlevania / mario, but not the 3d followers.

Serious Sam to me was always just a wannabe Doom style game. It suffers from heavy scripting and all the monsters seem to charge the player. In classic Doom maps many monsters are spawned at the start so you can use them against each other or scout the map. Each monster like you said also has a different personality so they don't just mindlessly rush you.

Well... I don't think serious sam tried to hide that it was heavily scripted, in the end it's basically a defining characteristic of the whole game, they just wanted to make a game where you can kill as much shit as possible, no matter what your skill level (hence the easiest difficulty where you health rarely goes below 190), also providing a challenge with the harder difficulties. I don't see serious sam as trying too hard to be anything other than what it is... just a shitload of monsters charging you in some nice-to-look-at environments

That's actually what Painkiller gives you as well. Hordes of relatively weak enemies that can be executed using a few powerful guns. It is so tense of blood and violence. You can became a real lord of massacre and punish all the evil creatures :)

Carmack!

A true man of honor.

http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/18090-QuakeC...a_matters/

What does Carmack have to do with Todd?

id Software?

so your honor depends on your employer CEOs behavior?

if you want to represent a company that treat people like that. Fuck yes.

Thinking better that was intentional imo. Maybe todd and/or matt were jealous that they arent nearly as talented or famous as cypher and z4? Like saying see kids im the boss.

wow i had never seen this video, what a shame :(

I'd love to hear id software's explanation for this behaviour

wow im sure intel was super happy about that

"You don’t think everyone in the audience knows that ATI released the wrong drivers? Dude, zip it!"

Not a fan of that bit of commentary.

On a side note I just started listening to John's speech last night. It was actually pretty interesting. I may finish it tonight..

Wow, looks good, specially in end result. I was hunting across the nest,
but there is nothing valuable, just found https://bestgunsafeusa.com/bsa-sweet-17-scope/, but nonetheless
so happy to achieve your article. I'm excited about this subject, and I want to be
aware of the newest news. That is a pleasure.
