    Through out all of this I just couldn't but help notice how horribly he has aged.

    I wonder what little bit was cut out? 1:26:31 to 1:26:32 seems to skip a bit.

    Sounds like the 360 and PS3 have really slowed down development of the game. They should have released the PC version first and then ported to console.

    He may be a coding genius but that's all he is. Carmak doesn't MAKE the ENTIRE GAME. He works on the back of it, making it strong.

    And for FFFFFFFFFF sake! Shut up about how happy you are watching people play your game man. I can't sit through 20 min of just just talking on and on and on about that.

    Anyone got cliffnotes of this?
