rome.ro > popular all-time > Both Shawn Green and myself are big heavy metal maniacs! During DOOM we used to listen to lots of Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Dokken, Metallica, etc. and here we are going crazy outside my office - HEADBANGING! Yes, this is how nuts it was at id Software. Just a short break between coding, mapping, and insane deathmatch screaming. The rack of CDs are mine and Carmack's and that's my office you can see into. That office door is the one Carmack blasted open with his axe.

rome.ro > popular all-time > This is a picture of the Shreveport lakehouse that id Software started in. Tom took this pic of John Carmack and myself while we were working on the Super Mario 3 demo for Nintendo - so this was sometime in September 1990. You can see how nice it was outside while we were inside just coding. Heh. The computer setup on the far table was Tom's 386/33 and a TV set hooked up to a VCR that had a videotape of Super Mario 3 freeze-framed so he could duplicate the graphics pixel-by-pixel. The TV between John and I was hooked up to an NES so we could play SM3 and watch the movement and how things worked so we could duplicate it. There's a whiteboard propped up with writing on it that detailed all the tasks we needed to do to finish the demo. During this time there was a lot of summer flooding around the lake and one day I actually waded through a ton of water up to my waist to get to id to keep coding. Lucky for me I didn't run into any snakes!
rome.ro > popular all-time > This is the great Bobby Prince, our music composer between 1991-1994. He did the music for Commander Keen 4, 5, 6, Catacomb 3D, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, DOOM, DOOM II. In this picture you can see Bobby at id's apartment office during the summer of 1992, working on the music for Wolf3D and Spear of Destiny. This picture is probably from the month of June. The computer he's using in the pic is a 386/33. Heh. Bobby shipped a ton of his equipment to the office. You can't see the rack he has full of stuff, just off-camera. He was just awesome to work with. Before doing music, Bobby was a lawyer for a long time. If you want to hear more of Bobby's music, just play Duke Nukem 3D - half the music in that game is his. And it's excellent stuff as well - I listen to it almost every day still.

rome.ro > popular all-time > Here I am at a party my parents had for Rhaluka's sister Ruxi. I'm the one holding our dog Nibbles. Unfortunately, it looks like someone took a shit on my shoulders.
rome.ro > popular all-time > This is Rhaluka, on top of her building in the summer of 2003. As you can see, it's an old building just like all the other buildings in Bucharest. Romania is a very old country and it's full of culture and architecture.
Here's a closeup of Greg's latex and metal model of the Spiderdemon.
