If Romero taught me anything its that building a base on Mars requires a lot of conduit.

Also, you need either a red, a blue, or a yellow keycard to get anywhere.

The clap is not overrated... It very much is a serious sexually transmitted disease.

Romero is so mocked that I'm actually pulling for the guy.

He deserves the mocking, but I think the gaming world is a more interesting place with him in it. It's like TMZ without Brittany.

But, please, no Romero crotch shots.

I have a hunch that this company has a single problem. Remove the problem and this company could be like Blizzard's sexy cousin that has a thing for hot pants.
The problem's name is Romero.

The dude needs to be unemployed. His biography is like a litany of failures.

If you want your project to be stuck forever, hire Romero.

Romero just needs to return to id... seriously. He's been failing ever since he left.

Romero isn't "slipping". Because "slipping" would imply that he, at one point, had something to offer. Romero is one of those few people who get to experience "lucky best friend" syndrome.

This is also known as "Andrew Ridgley's disease". "Wait!" I hear you say, "I don't know who Andrew Ridgely is!". Of course you don't, that's the point. And for your information he was the little dark haired guy bouncing around with George Michael in George's "Wham!" era videos.

To fully understand this condition you have to do a thought experiment. Try to imagine where these once mega-selling platinum pop superstars would be if they had never met up: Done? Yep, you guessed it: George would be a mega-platinum selling pop-superstar and Andrew would be a mechanic who also plays the guitar on his days off. George's talent was destined to make him a superstar. Andrew just had to be competent enough to not ruin the whole thing for everyone else.

Now, replace "George Michael" with "John Carmack", "Wham" with "Id", and "Andrew Ridgeley" with "John Romero".

Romero's famous among gamers because he was lucky enough to be at id when John created the technology behind the FPS. He also has a loud mouth which the gaming press loves, since there are precious few colorful characters, see Cliffy B for another loud mouth gets the love, scenario. At least CliffyB is actually highly talented. :)

Whee. That was some rant! Let's blow off some steam...Daikatana, anyone?
