The Gadget Show #56: John Romero (G’Day World Cross Over)

Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake are only a few of the games he's helped create. So, as mad keen geeks, you can imagine that Cameron and I were excited to chat with The Romero! We talk about what it’s like to be Romero, what made Doom and Quake so huge, what he’s working on now with Slipate [2], his new gaming company, the music of Ronnie James Dio, and how he met his wife online. Thanks John for being a guest. It's one of those podcasts that Cam and I will get to brag about to hard core gamers for years to come, and we're looking forward to seeing what comes out of Slipgate. To keep up with John, check his blog [3]. And here’s a link to the Half-Life “portal” video from Valve [4] that John refers to. It is the coolest thing I have seen in ages. Cameron and I though John was such an amazing guest that we decided to do a Gadget Show and G'Day World cross over. Hence you'll find the show on both blogs.
