The article it references?

Sorry, no pictures, but much more concise.

It interesting that you both take different things from the post as well. 

This is certainly the article to read, the one spirit has linked is terrible.

@ijed, I wondered what you were going on about, yes the 'real' game design article is good, well thought out and for the love of god readable! 

Yeah, that. 

text in a browser can be adapted to your reading preferences. eg using the accessibility layout in opera. I read it on my mobile with great success.

you guys sound like you haven't played the game itself which might make the post less understandable. It's high quality free software, go get it!

day of the lords 2 to me

Warren Spector lecture 08 - Tim Willits

Got some nice information about the history of ID and he talks about Rage/ID tech 5. 

is, despite all his accomplishments, a really unlikable man. He just makes me want to wipe that smirk off his face.

Also, he forgot to bring the funny. 

I'm amazed he wasn't let go after Doom 3.

Him being the design lead is a relic from the times where the general assumption was "a good mapper = a good lead designer". 

True story: Once upon a time long ago on a dark and crunch filled night, Tim Willits was getting a snack from the vending machine in the Raven break room, and I entered the break room also in search of snacks. I said "hi" as we passed, nothing special I didn't know him other than who he was, and he didn't even so much as grunt a reply. I wasn't much a fan of his maps to begin with... but yeah, unlikable I think fits. 

I can't listen to this guy anymore. It's a shame, I would have liked to watch more, but his way of talking, his unfunny jokes and the way he goes on about how he thinks Romero's an asshole make it unbearable.

a challenge to get those into Q1. 

I enjoyed the talk, I thought it was interesting from a game design point of view. He talked about MP/SP design elements, ID structures and gave some cool advice to the students at the end. 

I'm still listening to it.

Informative - for all!
Entertaining - only for certain people. 

All the sessions are available as videos btw, eg here http://www.gameupdates.org/details.php?id=2265 

Actually reminds me a lot of the fat guy from Seinfeld.

90's humour.

If I had the chance to be at any of those talks I would have loved it! Besides the looks and humour, I thought the talk was cool, but I am a fan of any Id products/lore, so I am bias. 

I might actually buy Rage now.

Once I can afford it.
