It's sad seeing all those Kotaku people saying things like "it's a shame all that talent was wasted on video games," because we all know he will be better known for his work with games than whatever he achieves in the aerospace industry.

I dunno, maybe he doesn't mind.

Either way, congrats to you Mr. Carmack. I still look up to you today.

Congratulation Mr. Carmack, you deserve it!

I don't quite understand them, because he actually implemented a lot of stuff from computer graphics and advanced it in some cases.
