Romero > The October 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World had an editorial on the backpage and it had a cool little graphic montage. Here it is, magnified.

Romero > Computer Gaming World, October 2005, back page article. I still don't understand what the article is supposed to be saying...

I'll react to the inaccuracies in the article right here:

#1: Daikatana sold over 200,000 copies worldwide after its first year on the shelf. That is not a pathetic sales number in the PC market, especially circa 2000.

#2: I wasn't the marketing dept. at Ion or Eidos - I didn't come up with the "Bitch Ad"

#3: I didn't sneak my face into DOOM II - that was an easter egg planted by Adrian Carmack and Kevin Cloud

#4: I "court celebrity" just about as much as anyone else doing their job in this world. When a magazine wants to know what I'm doing, I tell them. It gets printed. There you go, that's the whole crazy, power-hungry trip I'm on - I talk to journalists so they can write and make a living.

Romero > Here's an old article from PC Gamer's February 2005 issue. I guess they weren't a fan of the old look and my infrequent postings. I never claimed to be some current news site! Heh.

I think the latest change to a blog format would give me a higher rating next time! Oh, wait. I don't care.

Romero > Here's a PC Gamer article about the Masters of DOOM book, February 2003. John Carmack and I had to sign off on the accuracy of the book before Random House would publish it.

It's all true! :)

Romero > This is a picture from 1997 after a hardcore Quake1 deathmatch session with my friend Noel Stephens at Ion Storm (the 30th floor, a year before we moved up to the 55th floor).

The rule that I created (back at id Software with my friend Shawn Green) was that if you got beaten in a deathmatch your opponent could go absolutely nuts and degrade you and you had to just sit back and take it.

So after our insane deathmatching session in which Noel beat me down, I went freaknuts and grabbed my keyboard and started screaming and chopping at the legs of my computer table - and hacked at the leg until it folded up and the table fell down. Then Noel ran over and started yelling at me calling me all kinds of names and I had to just suck it down.

I subsequently did this to the table my computers were on and the entire table and computers, monitors, etc. all slid crashing to the floor. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that mess. :)

Romero > PC Gamer, May 2003, Most Controversial Game article. Not bad for a 10 year old game!

Romero > This was probably the biggest article printed about Ion Storm and our games over the years. I thought it turned out pretty good.

Four double-page mini-articles to follow.

Romero > Hahaha - we're gonna make everyone eat their words! GULP! We ate ours.

Hahaha - we're gonna make everyone eat their words! GULP! We ate ours.
