From takua108 to John Carmack

Posted by takua108 on May 16, 2006, 5:30 p.m.

<b>Adam "takua108" [surname removed]</b> is a good friend of <b>Michael Quinn</b>. Mike is the nephew of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_O%27Quinn" target=_blank><b>Terry O'Quinn</b></a>, who stars on <i>Lost</i> (as "John Locke") with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0417068/" target=_blank><b>Nick Jameson</b></a>, (as "Richard Malkin"). Jameson played "Max" on <i>Sam and Max Hit the Road</i> (not to mention "Doctor Fred" [and all of his reincarnations] on <i>Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle</i>), which was directed by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0164494/" target=_blank><b>Sean Clark</b></a>. Clark also directed <i>The Dig</i>, which had <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0089710/" target=_blank><b>Steven Blum</b></a> star as "Ludger Brink". Blum did additional voices for <i>Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil</i>, which was, of course, the expansion pack for <i>Doom 3</i>, which was, of course, a game headed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carmack" target=_blank><b>John Carmack</b></a>.

Terry O'Quinn added an "O'" to his name because there already was a Terrence Quinn in the Screen Actors' Guild.

If you don't know who John Carmack is, you shouldn't consider yourself a gamer. Carmack <i>invented</i> many of the aspects of 3D gaming, and he and id Software made the first ever 3D game.

Everything above has been "thoroughly researched"* and is completely accurate.

I'll probably expand upon this later.

*"thoroughly researched" secretly means Wikipedia and IMDB.

Nice, I already knew that Mike's uncle was Terry but I had no clue about the rest

Although I knew who he was, you really need to shut the **** up. I hate it when people say things like that.

I don't go around saying "If you haven't watched Battle Royale, you should be raped and shot."

Mod Edit: Language, SJF.

What the hell is your problem? No reason to poop yourself over a simple sentence. I don't <i>care</i> what you hate, and neither does anyone else who reads my blog. Go get a life.

I've censored both your foul words… Please keep language down. Please also keep your arch-enemy-relationship towards each other outside of 64Digits (or in the chatroom; we dont' care what goes on in that).

I wouldnt say id software made the first ever 3d game, if you regard 'Wolfenstien 3d' as 3d then there were plently before it like 'spasim'(released 1974). It was probally true that it was a break-through game but i wouldnt regard it as a first in any regard. Maybe you should read Wikipedia more thoroughly.

Nah…while they're <i>known</i> for <i>Wolfenstien 3D</i>, <i>Doom</i>, and <i>Quake</i>, they made <i>Hover Tank 3D</i> (not to be confused with the Game Maker-made game of the same name), which has been regarded as the first 3D videogame ever.

Except that it wasn't… Battle Zone was the first 3d game ever made… If you don't know that, you shouldn't consider yourself a gamer.
