Clusterone Posted December 14, 2013 I know it may be a little late in the year to even attempt this. But what about for the 20th year of Doom, someone or some people tried to reach out to John Romero for this year's Cacowards, and maybe have him send a video to announce all the winner's and all that jazz? I know it's a longshot, but damn, that would be badass if that happened. Thought's and feelings? 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted December 14, 2013 It would be just awkward. John announcing awards for people he doesn't know selected by people he doesn't know. Doesn't that sound silly? 0 Share this post Link to post
Clusterone Posted December 14, 2013 Not really imo, he's the founder of Doom, and he would be announcing awards for "mods" based off of his game, and I think it would be pretty cool for a 20 year anniversary thing. Plus, this is the MAIN Doom website on the internet. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted December 14, 2013 It would probably be biased because I think he plays everything in Brutal Doom 0 Share this post Link to post
scroton Posted December 14, 2013 The entity known as John Carmack has transcended the idtech 1 engine, videogames, and primitive audio- and visual-based human communication methods. 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted December 14, 2013 I think the community can handle it just fine. Besides, John (Romero)'s flaky when you get him months in advance -- if you can even get him at all. 0 Share this post Link to post
Waffenak Posted December 14, 2013 John Romero as announcer would have been cool 0 Share this post Link to post

I've seen it before on Youtube and I can look for it Edit: Here 0 Share this post Link to post
Pure Hellspawn Posted December 14, 2013 Damnation would be a winner I suppose seeing as it's meant for Brutal Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
