Wow,lListening to John Carmack and Ken Levine talk about motion controls really gives a fascinating viewpoint on subject matter that I feel, is to often dismissed by the general hardcore gaming community.

This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen because Patrick asks some good questions and then just let's John say exactly what's on his mind. If this was on Gametrailers or Gamespot the interviewer would constantly be interrupting or asking really dumb, standard questions about the game. But when you get the opportunity to talk to the Carmack you need to ask the important questions. This was the moment when I thought "Okay, this guy Patrick, he knows what he's doing" and it also made me respect Carmack a whole lot more.

That's what Mr. Carmack does. He educates without a single 'ahm' or 'ahh'.

How can the Internet has not made John do a weekly podcast where he just talks and talks and talks? I would love that.
