John Carmack keynote from Quakecon 2000

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I used to be a regular on here about a decade ago, wonder if there's anyone still around who remembers when I was the moderator of the Doom 3 forum... (good times!)

The reason I'm posting is that I have a Tumblr dedicated to old-school FPS games (primarily the id Software and 3D Realms games from 1992 to 2000). I recently found an old, very crappy audio recording of John Carmack's keynote from Quakecon 2000 on an external HD and noticed it wasn't available anywhere on the web anymore, so I uploaded it to archive.org. Wanting to get it out to a wider audience I'm posting it to a few forums where I think my fellow Carmack/id nerds might be congrating. So I guess for you Carmack geeks and oldschool Quake/Doom 3 guys, you should go have a listen here.

I'm also looking for more cool Doom/Quake/first-person-shooter related stuff from that era, would be awesome if anyone could point me to something cool to post. I don't mind if it's super-obscure or technical, as long as it's something cool that relates to classic FPS games.

So, yeah. Thanks! DOOM!

I'm trying to listen on there but Carmack is just so not a charismatic speaker on there. Followed your blog though :D

Hey that reminds me of something I've been looking for a long time: around '96 or 97, one of the big sites like Blues News (or another like that) had a big wallpaper image of all the Quake episode 1 levels. Pretty much someone took screenshots and melded/morphed them with each other, starting with the first map on the left, ending with the end-boss map on the right side, and all the others in between. Anyway it looked cool, but I haven't been able to find it again (a lot of those sites are gone, and archive.org doesn't have everything...)
