Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Detailed
TheRaindog writes "In addition to announcing the Quake III source code's impending release, John Carmack's QuakeCon 2005 keynote also covered the programmer's thoughts on Microsoft and Sony's next-gen consoles, physics acceleration in games, and what he'd like to see from new graphics hardware."
Maybe they can also detail his ketone?

I'd quite like to know what you are trying to say with this post other than get a few hits to that site.
Thanks, in fact I am an Asshole. However I am not wrong about what I said!
Wow. Nice salesman routine, you almost came off as being a legitimate poster for a minute there.
Fucking prick.
Anyone check that?
Agreed, it's a bit disrespectful to the ones that make this site (the readers/posters). Without readers/posters this site would be nothing.
well aren't you just the pinnacle of +5 informative
What exactly do you think the U.S. military does? It does nothing better than causing the deaths of many young men and women (it is demonstrably much better at killing than nation-building). The targets might be young men and women you want killed, but for someone with a holier than thou attitude, how is this morally defensible? Is your basis for these killings being justifiable: racist, nationalist, jihadist? Perhaps you should have suggested that Carmack work for NASA or in medical research.

i predict that this post will be caught in a Flamebait/Insightful moderation spiral that will whirl out of control until all Slashdot is consumed by its energy...
or maybe all the moderators will save their points and move onto the next post
If you guys had to pick one today, which would it be? Personally I've never liked XBox that much, and the games lineup for Playstation 3 is superior to XBox.

A total of thirteen people died in the incident, fifteen if you include Harris and Klebold in the total. That's not "dozens of people" by any possible stretch of the word.
As for your main point...violent video games did not cause the shooting. What did was the fact that the boys were ostracized at school and hated it so passionately that they wanted to get revenge for years of having been mistreated on a daily basis. The only people who have said that games had anything to do with the shooting were the "experts" that went on TV and tried to pin the incident to something so that society could feel better about itself. There has been absolutely no proof that games led to the shooting, and this makes a vast majority of your post complete bullshit.
There's a reason why the lawsuits that were filed against the makers of the games went nowhere - they just weren't the cause.
Goo goo g'joob.
