  1. Nacalal Carmack didn't really do much of the game design, though. I admire him as a programmer and think he's quite brilliant, but level design literally makes or breaks a shooter. And it's improper to shit on Romero's level designs for Doom, since they were the best. You can shit on Sandy Petersen's, though. I'm totally cool with that.

  2. I was hoping he would talk about the original design he had written up for Quake that made it more like a medieval first person RPG than like what Quake had actually turned out as.
