Making Lyrics That Rhymes To A Companies Name Must Be The Nerdiest 
thing evar. 
I Was Just Proud To Use The Word 
FLID, thats F - L - I - D ! !!

Peace. 
No, Don't Close It, 
this is some great stuff; it makes us nerd not dorks, nerd implies some intelligence. 
Errr 
as a prime example:

it makes us nerd not dorks

it makes us dorks, not nerds.

That Canadian beer I drink has finally wrestled the last remaining brain cell in my head down for the count. 
Sure Q3's Art Direction Was Pretty Lame 
but to me unreal and UT always looked about as good as this: http://www.freewebs.com/sharsart/wizard%20my%20personal%20space%20web.jpg 
Replaying Alpha Labs Section 
of Doom 3 last week, I realized I was subcounsiously employing a tactic as I moved through the rooms and corridors. Upon entering an area, I would scan it looking for detailed modeling and keep my back oriented to those models. Monster closets were only made with simple brush work, so it was a safe assumption to
make while playing. Imp sized areas would become pretty much self evident. 
 
I.D. software sounds way better than "eeehddd" 
 
"Game Design is 99% programming and 1% design" - John Carmack

That's why. 
"eeehddd" ? 
it's supposed to rhyme with "rid" not "red" 
And 
"Design is law" - John Romero

id games before romero left: awesome

carmack games without romero: systematic, methodical, repetitive, uninteresting

romero games without carmack: unfinished piles of unchecked ambition

see? it all makes sense 
We Really Need To Get Those Two Back Together... 
 
Okay Here's The Plan 
I'll invite Romero over, saying it'll be a casual get together. You get Carmack over here with the promise an iPhone contract. When they meet up, we'll lock them in a room until they work out their differences or one cannibalizes the other to surive.

Something big is happening here, people. 
Hm 
That sounds very similar to a Strafe Left strip I read a while ago on RPS... 
#310 FTW

Something big is happening here, people.

and it's happening in my pants

lay off the vindaloo dude 
Speaking Of Pants 
wasn't this thread about doom4 
 
"Game Design is 99% programming and 1% design" - John Carmack

One of the stupidest quotes I've ever seen attributed to a smart person. Is it legit? 
Apparantly 
Got it from 'On Game Design' by Chris Crawford.

Good read, btw. 
John 'JBJ' Carmack EYHO 
 
99% Tech, 1% Design 
Gets you rubbish like UT or FEAR. Design gets you Quake, BioShock, Fallout 3... etc. 
Well 
In Carmack's case Tech and Design are almost the same. 
 
Design gets you Quake

The whole point of Quake is that they scrapped the original design and just slapped a bunch of random shit together. 
 
Good designers know when what they've got isn't working and take appropriate action.

*ahem* FEAR *ahem*
