There’s two Carmacks in gaming and I can never keep them apart, which is a point of cognitive dissonance for me because one just held a right-winger convention and the other was one of the minds behind the now-defunct Unreal franchise that I still miss to this day.
This past fall’s harvest, actually; that is a perfectly cromulent question to ask for once. As it is, pretty sure my brain mixed up the credit screen for Quake 3 with UT2k4.
Hmm. It wasn’t John or Adrian, I don’t think. Those are the Id/Doom Carmacks. But there still could have been another dev on the team also named Carmack.
Y’know after wracking my brain for the past 15 minutes you might be right; I might’ve somehow mentally mondegreen’d the credits screen of Quake 3 Arena over that of Unreal 2k4
Which Carmack is the chud hack and which Carmack is the one that had his hands in Unreal Tournament
What?

I don’t think either John or Adrian worked on Unreal.
I assume it’s John your calling a chud, because he’s the one returned to speak at that scifi convention.
Fuck does that mean there’s a third Carmack I’m forgetting about? 'Cause I’d swear there’s a Carmack in the credits for UT2k4.

Yeah I was wondering if you were thinking of Quake.
It’s not like I can keep any of this straight either - I just happened to have been on a Doom history binge again earlier this week.
