Son Of Carmack

[Linguica]

Everyone's favorite 3D engine coder / rocket scientist John Carmack has posted a note over on Armadillo Aerospace announcing that his wife Anna has given birth to their first child, Christopher Ryan Carmack, who popped out last Friday at 12:50 pm, weighing in at six pounds seven ounces. Wait... owner of company famous for demonic games... child born on Friday the 13th... is the birth weight rounded up from 6 lb 6.6 oz by any chance?

I don't think so, Ling.

Ah, but your demonic theory is left in tatters. No son of Satan would have 'Christ' as a part of his name.

There is no 666 in binary anyway.

antichrist

[darknation]

I stand corrected.

But was it a virgin birth?

Congrats to Carmack!

I have never been much of a baby admirer, but through the miracle of subjective observation, he looks rather cute to me. Except when he grimaces and stretches his neck, in which case he looks like Gollum…

Ahahaha.

[cyber-menace]

Whee, go Carmack go! All 3 Carmacks at that!

[SyntherAugustus]

Congrats to Carmack. Wee.

not true heh, Christ means sxavior, since satans son can be interpreted as 'rescuing' humanity from teh clutches of goodness

according to revelations, there will be a false prophet who will present himslef excactly this way

[DooMBoy]

Heh, makes you wonder if Carmack's son has a 666 anywhere on his body.

Anyways, congrats to teh Carmack for becoming a father :)

[Epistax]

If I was him I'd give him a 666 tattoo then tell him it was a birthmark.

</and that's why the judge said no kids for me>

[Holering]

Congragulations John Carmack I hope you take good care of your kid. BTW is he christian?

[Jonathan]

No, he's Christopher, not Christian.

HURR

carmack probably comes from a christian family, but the only way to know what he personally believes is for him to tell us.

[goddard]

Congratulations! It's done!;) I think that he believes only in himself, but we don't know if he's God or the Evil...o)

[Devil_Mishima]

[DarkknightXC]

Congrats, JC and Anna.

[Arno]

That's nice news! Congratulations to the parents!

[Youn]

"CRC check" is redundent. But what a cute comment...

I can imagine the next game taking even longer, especially if he's gonna be as big a part of it as he has been with the rest. Congrats nevertheless!!!
