Watching this was... interesting

Best mans in the world!!!!

6:34 the scariest sound effect in Doom.

This is not Romero's house, btw. LOL. The happy title screen with the ominous Doom music makes me crack up every time.

John Romero i want to do a 1v1 with you that would be amazing

Huge respect to both John's - Romero & Carmack as well as other members of the ID SW team who helped creating these timeless masterpieces! Completely new approach to release source code was simply unheard in that time and even now, that's why these folks r revolutionary and their code lives on! Reason it's not being done almost at all today is because of deeply profit driven industry video games have become. Video game studios today r no longer community of pioneers and enthusiasts of game development who r more excited about doing something revolutionary than making profit with another FPS game. Things have not changed necessarily for good in everything when it comes to new revolutionary gameplay ideas and mechanisms and it's more less safe recycling to eliminate risks, however things r improving with the small studios and indie devs! Thx for making this excellent interview and for highlighting Sigil Doom addons, happy B to Doom and ID SW, all best!👏👍

Game developer rockstar to working class programmer who just happened to be working in a burgeoning innovative field and was real good at what he did but clearly does not deify himself as much as Romero probably did hearing the legend before meeting the slightly nervous man.

Should of been John Carmack that interviewed him from programmer to programmer, but you can feel the respect John Romero has for the guy, so much so for the legend that Nesir seems to be like you know I’m a regular guy you know, but I am good at what I do.

You should try the total chaos mod. Its is also really fun but you would not believe how wadoholic bent the doom 2 engine.

Mr romero, thank you for doom and everything related to it. That game gave me a lot of fun and the replay value with the mods it's amazing. I stumbled with this particular mod which is very different fro. I what you could find kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3izlKVshMSGo80si=vf1DYdCZ6UZSsEFC

I think I hear "Disintegration Loops" in that change-over to a non-MIDI soundtrack. I haven‘t done the research ahead or even checked the audio credits below, but I think I know that haunting soundtrack when I hear it... especially since I used it in a video of my own.

Living legends, hope all is well!

This mod crosses the line from modding to full blown development. Like yeah it's technically a mod, and it's very clearly built right on top of Doom, but how much could you really argue that this isn't it's own unique experience? It gets even more Grey when almost all of the material presented is referential. A focused, very skillfully executed experience made up entirely of internet culture tossed in a horror blender and served up with enough Presentation! to make Megamind proud. And the way this delivered, as a Doom mod is crucial to telling the story it wants to tell. The gameplay they build off and the community accepted modding expectations that they undermine and surpass all lend to the story as much as the "journal" and other documents released with it.

16:10 discord sound, no - it wasn't yours

My mom started a business with a programmer colleague from a previous job. He dropped a copy of doom off to me when i was 9 years old in 96 w/o my mom knowing. Lol. I had no idea how significant it was, obviously. Anyways flash forward 30 years I work for them now and he's still the programmer. But perhaps soon I will be filling his shoes.

I was born in 94, since I was 5 years old, I discovered this wonderful game on my uncle's PC. I was amazed and had nightmares about the maps and demons <3 DOOM IS ETERNAL <3

I admired Romero's level design.

You have to beat the next level to go back to the house for chapter 3

awesome guy awesome game awesome vibe

So, eight years later... and nothing came to fruition. How do you feel about jinxing it again, John?

3:16 hey, i wanna play that map, it's not included in my copy of SI666iL II!

ordered my Dangerous Dave box because of this video :D

The two John's should do this more often.

...and with a really great playlist to top it off :)

I would love to see you play Doom 64!

thank you for both SI666ILs, please make a third one to complete a trilogy!

These guys seem so humble. Like they don't realise that they are absolute legends! ❤

Releasing the Doom source code was the best decision ever.

john romero !!!. You created the heart of these games

Hell. yes. This deserves a sub and algorithm bump

John carmack is the cool version of Rainman ;)

Dec 2024: Still no Blackroom

Should we tell him he's only explored half of the wad? He didn't even find the maze yet... heheh.

As an original member of TeamTNT, seeing these two guys together for this interview was quite awesome. I spent countless hours in level design and playing Doom and Doom2. The impact ID software and these guys had on my life is hard to articulate. The day we (TeamTNT) found out that our mega wad would be purchased and released as part of Final Doom was truly surreal. Our intentions going into the project was to just release a quality 32 level wad, based on our true passion for this wonderful game, never expecting it to become a small part of this iconic phenomenon.

John Romero's About To Make You His Housewife

"It's not that big of a house." Famous last words.

Mr. Romero I would be honored and reinvigorated to continue my passion of map design if you would critique my Unreal 2k4 creation from 15 years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXfKZKJqZb1mjLMsi=aKzaPhyDM0tk0v15

Still a chance you'll go back and try and get the good ending? You were onto something with the mirror... take a look at the sinks, too...😉

So cool you live in Ireland was watching a interview of you . I'm in Canada and went to Ireland a few times . To me Ireland is a lot like Canada lol very nice friendly similar climate as Nova Scotia and newfound lol. I really enjoyed my time in Ireland amazing place

Man, Ii wish this game could be done now. Something like this, but in VR would be amaziing.

Please fix your personal problems, join together, create legendary games again

Was that an Enderman at 49:45?

What are in the boxes at 4:51 in the garage?

amazing upload

Yex John Romero, You and ID Software got it.

How awesome it would be to have made such a legendary piece of content for doom that it reaches its original creator

Hoo, boy. This is why I stopped playing 3D games. I've taken three visits to get to 45 minutes in, and I am beginning to feel the simulation sickness creep in. When I was a teen/young adult, I just powered through it. Now that I'm older and know there are plenty of games that don't trigger my simulation sickness, I don't subject myself to it anymore. Doom/Doom2 were especially bad about triggering it. Minecraft is even worse. The record is still held by an N64 game called "Space Station Silicon Valley". I'll come back another day and watch some more.

Hay John I think this is the kind of PC you always dreamed of kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH64nIGbeaqtptUsi=d8y9SN0TbdQkvULj

I can't stop thinking of "in order to win the game, you must kill ME, John Romero."
