Reading Rocket Jump articles from Shacknews is quite interesting and fun:
>Then an incident occurred. According to Romero, Willits told him one version of a story but reported another to Carmack. (Romero declined to go into detail.) Romero went to Carmack and mentioned the story Willits had told. Surprised, Carmack noted that the version he had heard was different.
>"We confronted him about it in person," Romero said. "It was like, 'Hey, don't do that again.' Other than that, I was already gone before he went into full-on politics mode."
From Chapter 5, Aftershocks.
>American McGee was no stranger to Tim Willits' alleged behavior. One morning a year or so earlier, McGee had stepped into the Town East Tower's elevator. Willits entered with him. Before long, Willits turned to him, grinning.
>"He turns to me and he goes, 'Hey, did you ever have butt sex with your ex-girlfriend?' We all knew each other; he knew my ex-girlfriend," McGee recalled. "I remember saying something like, 'Tim, fuck off,' or 'I don't know what you're talking about.' And he looks at me and he goes, 'Well, I had it last night, and it was great.' And that was it, and he walked away."
From Chapter 10, Backtracking
Like, I heard that Willits was "weird, sketchy guy", but for fuck sake. I went through 13 posts out of 25, so I got to wonder what kind of bullshit will be revealed next... Damn, I need to fucking read Masters of Doom.

>Sandy Petersen refers to Tim Willits as "Snake".
He really hates that guy.

For practice? Yes, gotta experiment with strats for fights. Gotta see what works consistently and what doesn't.

For casual play? Yes, if I'm just fucking around and checking out a WAD, why not.

For attempts? No, because they're actual attempts and I don't consider I have beaten a map until I'm able to get a UV-Max run of it without saves from a pistol start.

For actual attempts, no, because they're actual attempts

how the hell do two people with the same uncommon last name end up working together and they arent even related lol

Are there any scans of map design sketches from id Software during the the production of Doom and/or Quake? I think that alone would serve as some great inspiration for me to work on my own shit.
