John Romero Back In The Game
Gamespot reports that John Romero, the well known former id software designer, has opened his own development studio for the first time in several years. From the article: "Romero and Midway parted ways after just two years. He had been hired, along with former Ion Storm colleague Tom Hall, in October, 2003. His departure in July of this year was amicable on the surface, but chatter among industry wags suggested the Midway brass weren't entirely impressed with the work Romero and his team produced. At the time of his departure, Romero and Hall were working on the still-unreleased action role-playing game Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows."
I'm thinking maybe he spent too much time shampooing and combing his lustrous mane rather than coding. Then again Commander Keen *did* own.
I used to think Linux was cool -- then I turned 14.
Unfortunately, people keep feeding that ego too. Look at his forums. There's a user with the name of JohnRomeroWorshiper. Of course, that could just be Romero himself.
Is there any way to moderate the developer mentioned in a story "Overrated"?
