I can happily listen to Romero and Carmack talk for hours.

[@theforsaken127]

Same, I'm currently binge watching all their talks.

one of the most impactful tech demos of all time

[@vitruvianscientism]

To jest tech demo analkulturo? Chyba historia produkcji, grupy tworzącej gry - zrobiłeś hirakriszni dzień Johnowi

[@casedistorted]

This is very interesting and I’d never heard it before. I never knew Sierra had 200 employees wow! Thanks again John, love it

[@higgins007]

John Romero? Insta-like.

[@KneeteDerVogel]

49:16 - When the Legendary Hero takes breath to deliver the ONE message he can offer: "We were driven by: *meek...squeeek...kreeek...!" thanks technology! xD

[@alichamas63]

Gotta love John's Beavis laugh, you tell he's from the 80s 😊

[@kolokoy9555]

😂😂😂

[@EspireMike]

Another great post mortem from John Romero!

[@RobinWootton]

Very cool; thanks to the Conference for sharing. Reminds me of Stan Lee and John Buscema making the first Marvel comics. As a proactive American he might've been surprised how many Q&A questions were about his regrets / would do differently! I wonder where their food came from apart from pizza... and what music was played in the studio? (Guessing heavy metal!) Clever question about mental health though; employers now drumming on about it when 30 years ago they didn't consider it. Luckily in this case they didn't need to 🙂

[@FizzlNet]

29:10 Ooh, Cakewalk 3.0. That UI looks so familiar. I must have had some pirated version of that back in the good old days. 32:00 Dog Gamnit! I never realized the Pre-Order Ultimate Epic Edition scam has its roots all they way down here 🤣

[@AlessandroOrlandi83]

fantastic story, wish I saw the speach.

[@Blink_____]

The problem with "live ship and patch it later" is that it has actually lowered, if not destroyed the bar on quality. companies will just ship broken games now because they know consumers will still pay them for it. Even those broken games still went through crunch periods just to get them to their sorry release state. It's been a disaster.

[@-dash]

I feel the same way about most early-access titles

[@SkinnyNinja420]

Starts @4:20 Coincidence? I think not

[@AusTraLiaNPsyChO]

4:50 "If you're really good, send a CV" How's Romero and his stipulations about needing to be good at something to get a job with him. ;\

[@mb3558]

Starts at 4:16 😮‍💨 ⌚️

[@planetx1595]

4:22*

[@charlesc3894]

John romero single handedly brought forth the fps genre

[@skitariisoldier7367]

WRONG.

[@annekarice1587]

Hmmm I think Carmmack deserves some credit too and even then folks like Ken Silverman were grinding away behind the scenes

[@connoredits288]

well john romero admits that he was envy of computer magic

[@NinjaRunningWild]

Watch the FPS documentary. There were a bunch before id came along.

[@di4mgaming115]

​@@NinjaRunningWildand which one was so popular that everyone started making FPS? FP games at the time were a niche genre, now they're mainstream standard

[@CoolGobyFish]

This would have been so cool in 1993😅

[@asedcopf]

something something diversity inclusion im out.

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

Why? How can it POSSIBLY be a bad thing, to anyone other than a bigot?

[@asedcopf]

@@BLSFL_HAZE how could it POSSIBLY be a good thing, to anyone other than a predator?

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

​@asedcopf Are you suggesting that it's in the best interests of minorities to be excluded, because they are targeted by predators if they're included?

[@shecklesmack9563]

Don’t let the door hit you, Nazi

[@Hubert_Cumberdale_]

You're upset because of some words and therefore you won't watch the vid? Snowflake.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

Why did he censor all the nazi symbols? Anyone watching this has probably played the game. They’re not celebration of them. Even Germany understands this. 35:44 *Software Creations BBS. Hyperthymesia huh? 🤔

[@MrKent481]

To my knowledge, they are still illegal in certain parts of the world and considered distasteful by other people. Mr. Romero is typically paid for these events and could have done this either to comply with a contract or to simply avoid any negative feelings about something that adds nothing to his presentation. Also, consider that these presentations are becoming something of a biography rather than some gamers reliving the good old days.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@MrKent481 Yes, I'm aware of those considerations, but nonetheless that's what the game is. You're storming a nazi castle, not the land of puppy dogs & ice cream. You can display distasteful things without endorsing them, so censorship isn't needed. We're all adults here. That part of the world you mention IS Germany &, as I said, they already exclude them from illegality in certain media including games.

[@_gorezone_]

​@@NinjaRunningWildthat may be what the game is but it doesn't change the fact they're illegal in ANY context in some places. The people who organize these know they're going to be streaming worldwide so they don't want to inadvertently get someone in legal trouble

[@Cal-TwentyNine]

​@@NinjaRunningWildCan't show the video in Germany otherwise, so they blur the swastikas and it's all good. If it bothers you then do a google image search and you'll see them as if they never went anywhere :)

[@DeafeningCha]

Why did you choose to comment on this extremely insignificant detail as if it has any importance?
