Are giantbomb videos running like crap for anyone else today? It won't even stream properly. I thought it was a problem with my internet connection, but everything else is running fine for me.

For a guy now in his 40's John looks really young.

Great interview with alot of really good info. He practically interviews himself, and that is not a bad thing in this case at all.

Holy crap, John Carmack loves to talk

He's like a professional singer - no need for breath breakes. My head hurts... 
 
I agree though. The graphics are good enough already. Good that someone so important for gaming industry as he is, is taking a new approach.

Is it just me or are there some similarities in the appearances of John Carmack and Brad Shoemaker? Might just be me.

Dude is smart.

Has anyone ever mentioned that Brad looks a lot like John Carmack?  Granted, with glasses and his face is a touch thinner...but I see some resemblance.
