So I did not bother watching the others.

Hooray for streaming ! ;) By: Ron http://www.quaddicted.com/quake-nostalgia/classic-game-postmortem-tom-hall-and-john-romero-talk-about-doom/comment-page-1/#comment-3046 Ron Fri, 29 Apr 2011 14:11:06 +0000 http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=1484#comment-3046 I found a documentary (sort of) about ID software on Youtube. Here's the link to the 1st episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YreEwtV7D0 From there you can find the others. It's a very American program, heavy on the drama and all that, be warned !

Really nice to watch, it makes you appreciate the game even more when you see how much work went into making it. It's a shame not everybody that plays 3d games nowadays realizes the importance of DooM and the great work done by Carmack and the ID software team.

Stupid stupid wordpress. I hate this crap. It is long overdue I ditch it. It turned -- into something fancy and altered the normal doublequotes too. I made a torrent: http://www.quaddicted.com/temp/GDC%20Vault%20-%20Classic-Game-Postmortem,%20Tom%20Hall%20and%20John%20Romero%20(2011).torrent By: volcane http://www.quaddicted.com/quake-nostalgia/classic-game-postmortem-tom-hall-and-john-romero-talk-about-doom/comment-page-1/#comment-3036 volcane Sun, 24 Apr 2011 11:29:40 +0000 http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=1484#comment-3036 Sorry for being a noob but I'm struggling to get the rtmpdump commands above to work. I'm using Windows Vista and I've downloaded a Win32 version of rtmpdump (which seems to work OK) but I'm getting a variety of errors when I try to use the commands/parameters above. I don't suppose that anyone has a copy of the video+slides already downloaded that I could download from them? Alternatively, can any point me towards a Win32 build of rmtpdump and the associated commands that would help me download the Flash content above? TIA!

All I can say this that Spirit has a really good sense of history in a way that matters in a read "between the lines" kind of way. Sure, the depth of the above comment will be lost on many but I get Spirit's appreciation of project flow, design and intent. At times, I wonder what id Software would have done if Romero didn't leave. Clearly, DooM and Quake had "deep thought" into the design that is not so obvious at first glance. Recently after stripping Quake bare and rebuilding it, I've had a few "Ah ha!" moments.
