    Optimized wins by a landslide

    And curiously enough, spell check beats out spellcheck by an even wider margin.

    Why does everybody always get their panties in a bunch when Carmack "discovers" a technique that has been used before?

    I can confirm that we did this "MegaTexture" thing in "Myth: The Fallen Lords."

    Same thing a few years back when he "discovered" event journaling.

    Been there, done that. Alert the media when Carmack discovers a new game play mechanic that isn't just "Doom rehashed."
