When John Carmack helped formed the company "I'd Software" he only had $11 dollars to his name. When the crew got their first paychecks after releasing Wolfenstein 3D, the first thing that Tom Hall and John Romero did was buy a car. John Carmack bought a hot meal.

You're joking right, John was famous for blowing his money are cars until, I think it was Adrian Carmack, told him to start saving some.

they were really petty about it too. carmack and romero(?) would fight over who would be the first to own a model of italian supercar and fight to import it the fastest.

Mod them too, which usually didn't fly with Ferrari. Carmack's F50 was twin-turbo'd.

Yeah but that wasn't the tasteless part, he got it in red.

Sounds like something nu-/v/ would make-up. She was more likely an ordinary hooker.

when John Carmack stood at the gates of hell with nothing but a double barrel shotgun, he aimed it right in satans screaming face, pulled the trigger forcefully, and shot both of his horns off.

Here's something factual for you: John Romero is one of the biggest cucks who ever lived. While at id, outside of PR work and level design, Romero did basically nothing aside from spend company funds on parties and promotions. It became so bad that Carmack eventually wrote a program to keep track of Romero's work and installed it on his PC, only to find that he was doing one single hour of actual work per week. This culminated in Carmack having words with him and Romero "leaving" the company near the release of Quake (a nice way of saying Carmack canned him but didn't announce it publicly), which by the way, if Romero had his way, would have been an FPS-RPG hybrid with elements of third person Virtua Fighter-style combat thrown in. He once said that Darksiders is the game he wanted Quake to be (despite Darksiders not actually bearing any resemblance to an FPS or Virtua Fighter).

Since then, he has managed to convince a sizeable number of retards that he actually created DOOM (evident on the back of the PS1 DOOM packaging), and continues to piggyback on the work of the artists, programmers and actual designers whose work he has effectively stolen, going so far as to sell his own DOOM wad. When he's not profiting from others' work, John uses his money to collect gas station equipment and likes to shout "trans rights!" on streams. He is currently married to a jewish woman and lovingly cares for her son from another man.

ion storm was an unmitigated disaster both critically, commercially and financially, so, this is not surprising.

Based Carmack. Quake 3 is the best game ever and he deserves every ounce of success he's achieved.
