yeah loads.
They got rich pre-Doom, they all had modified Ferraris at that point.
IIRC Carmack gave one to a guy who beat him at Q1 deathmatch.

Look at that tank top wearing motherfucker and tell me he hasnt done shrooms atleast once

everyone except carmack, he was too busy optimizing the engine.

Not openly in the office, but some did when they went out clubbing

Weed and whiskey

>"This happened after Romero accidentally locked himself in his office. Hearing the pleas, Carmack gave the knob a twist, paused, then deduced the most obvious and immediate solution. “You know,” he said, “I do have a battle-ax in my office.” Carmack had recently paid five thousand dollars for the custom-made weapon—a razor-edged hatchet like something out of Dungeons and Dragons. As the other guys gathered around chanting, “Battle-ax! Battle-ax! Battle-ax!” Carmack chopped Romero free. The splintered door remained in the hall for months."

John Carmack notably claimed in an interview that he snorted cocaine off a dead hooker's ass
The hooked died of an overdose and Carmack thought it would be funny drop a line on the stiff cold buttocks

>implying it wasn't carmack that choked the bitch out and killing her.

This is fucking unreal. It kills me that this hyper-nerd shit will never happen again because devs are now too self aware and conscious of their image.

>accidentally locked himself in his office
wait what, the fuck kinda office that you locked yourself in and need to be rescued from the outside

this guy knows

Romero was permanently hooked to a cocaine dispenser, alright.
The only drug Carmack needs is cold-blooded murder.

>you will never suck John Carmack's cock in his 20s while he is sitting in front of his computer concentrating hard on coding so he barely even notices what you are doing, and when he releases a fat nut in your mouth you both get equally surprised
Why live.

He used to chase sport bikes in a tuned Ferrari and smashed open a locked door with a battle axe, nah no way he was doing coke...

it was a different time...

they were breaking new ground and were basically like rocks stars, nowadays there is nothing to discover so it's just going through the motions

John Carmack is a stronger drug than cocaine.

probably

this
zoomers don't fucking get how big of a deal this was back in the day
just like how miyamoto got fucking huge with mario

he probably strangle robin williams to death because rob was about to spill all the secret in a book b4 his inevitable parkinson took over

>anyone looking at this picture
>doesn't ask "what didn't they use"
Asking for a long and inefficient list.

anybody could have beat carmack, that wasn't worthy of the prize

You're talking about the '97 quake tournament, carmack's ferrari was the prize and Thresh won it.

Didn't the Ferraris come after Doom?

How did they get rich pre-Doom? Wasn't Doom that made them rich? What did they even do before Doom? Wolfenstein 3D?

Did carmack ever choke out a security guard? what's the story?

reminder that romero did so much drugs now he only want to be around gas station so he can huff gas instead

they were well-funded after wolf3D, but he probably meant pre-Quake. Doom is what got them superstar status and bought them their ferraris.

I think there's still new ground to be broken but we won't see a studio like I'd again because millennials and zopmers who would start up a game development project don't have their own house.

To be fair, it was John Romero. The guy's incompetence is legendary.

Yeah you're probably right, he must have meant pre-Quake. I mean without rockstar status that arguably only Doom brought them, you can't just buy Ferraris even if you are relatively well off.

They were a team of, like, 6 people making the most advanced game ever. They had space to be creative (I mean with respect to the game as well, not just messing about with axes and cars).

Nowadays, videogames are too complex. A single title might be made by literally thousands of people. And the company has quarterly finances to think about. You certainly won't get a technologically cutting edge game made by a team of 6 people. Maybe a breakout indie hit.

Case in point, everything he touched after he left them turned into shit, Daikatana being the king of the turds.

Uh

>Maybe a breakout indie hit.
and as much I enjoy indie hits, none of them are really breaking new grounds imo
a lot of good remixed of what was being done, which is nice

there is a video demonstration.
He's very proficient at judo or some shit.

he didn't even fucking list it on his twitter bio, lmao

According to Masters of Doom Carmack bought a Ferrari shortly before Doom was released. Commander Keen and Wolfenstein brought in a lot of money.

Ah, yeah, wolf3d. Of course

>It's exactly how I pictured it when reading Masters of Doom

I'd argue that games like Spelunky and Devil Daggers did things that I've never seen another game do. Maybe more subtle things than "a totally new way to view and move around environments", but still.

Any other good books like Masters of Doom?

Technology has advanced too far for some super advanced engine to be made by 6 people.

don't say that bro, if 6 of us can get together we might make the best gay porn game ever made

>You hear it from the fan base a lot. "Do it right. We'll still be here. We'll wait," and it's tempting to just let things slip. But that's really not OK.
Lmao, how fans have changed

Wasn't Id considered a small studio back when they made Wolfenstein CK and Doom?

You have my Pole-arm!

>He would later say that he stepped away from id software because "I'm really no representative of what most of our market is now. I did realize that my very simplified game design ethic is not what the market is demanding. [Quake 3] was the id game I probably spent the most time playing and enjoyed the most, but it was actually one of our less successful titles."

Was this Carmack?

buncha basedboys

and still got an immesne amount of pussy because they kind alooked like grunge musicians.

"I can't believe I slept with Kurt Cobain" "what? No, he was the other dude, I'm John Carma- why are you running to the toilet screaming?"

that looks like a dream to live in. It's so fancy looking and modern for a couple of nerdy niggas.

>all that money
>those shitty fucking foldable chairs

Back in the day there was only coke and downers, that was it.

Carmack also owned 2 Ferarris while living in a low income apartment. One of their windows got smashed

Duh.

They were more into Metallica than Nirvana, though.

Why does Yea Forums like this pencil neck nerd again?

I'm sure they bumped Bleach once in a while.

If this bad bait gets more than one reply I will be very disappointed

Did they? How do you know?

Post more Carmack.

>turbo high IQ

>wrote quake

they might use cocaine now, but not when that image was taken as cocaine is an expensive drug. They probably used weed and psychedelics for inspiration, maybe amphetamines to all night.

he's a social retard and a techo pagan.

This picture has that 90s feel and I miss that.

it perfectly gives off the "glorious 90's" vibe

someone post that magic coding spell they discovered

you know the one

>Did they? How do you know?
I was their accountant at the time.

They were high on SOUL

You mean the fast way of calculating an inverse square root?

float Q_rsqrt( float number )
{
long i;
float x2, y;
const float threehalfs = 1.5F;

x2 = number * 0.5F;
y = number;
i = * ( long * ) &y; // evil floating point bit level hacking
i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 ); // what the fuck?
y = * ( float * ) &i;
y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 1st iteration
// y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 2nd iteration, this can be removed

return y;
}

For the sake of expedience, assume we're all retards and summarise the problems for us... please.

>can see Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement in progress at the back

It's a relatively fast and decently accurate approximation of a frequent mathematical calculation.
