4166678

One day in the summer of 1995, Carmack had enough. He was tired of Romero
wasting his time, tired of hearing the screams, the profanity, the fists beating
on the walls, the broken keyboards flying down by his door. So, unbeknownst
to Romero, he plotted some revenge.
The next day Shawn came into Romero’s office, beaming with confidence,
and challenged Romero to a game. “Jesus, dude,” Romero said, “yesterday I
beat you down so hard. Come on, get in there, I’m ready any time!”
Everyone gathered around. Romero cracked open a Dr Pepper and began
to play. He chased Shawn online, running through the levels, but to no avail.
Shawn was annihilating him. Every time Romero ran behind him, Shawn
spun around and unloaded a shotgun into Romero’s face. “Fucking bullshit!”
Romero screamed. “What’s wrong with this fucking mouse?” He banged the
mouse on the table, inadvertently spilling his soda. “Oh shit!”
Everyone started to laugh. “What?” Romero said, mopping the Dr Pepper
from his leg. It was a setup, they told him. Carmack had programmed an
option on Shawn’s computer that enabled him to travel at ten times the average
speed just by typing in a special little command. Romero looked around
and, sure enough, there was Carmack, standing in the hallway. Carmack rarely
laughed. But at the moment, he was visibly amused.
