Both of them agreed to the nomination

And it was in this position that twin galaxy resigned

Agadmator reference in Karl Jobst channel is something that I never even dreamt of.

AGADMATOR REFERENCE!!!!! Wooooo

@@420sakura1 Depends on what you mean by influential, literally no one cares about them or even the games they played.

Damn man 12 million subscribers 😥🤩🤩😮😦

Ooooi Ronaldo

Saudades da FEEVALE?

Ronaldo, você por aqui?

Rightfully so. PC had limited power and a far limiting hardware that was overpriced. Was able to overcome both with a groundbreaking engine in Doom

@@rayminishi689 PC CPUs were actually quite powerful compared to consoles, especially when the 486 came out. The main issue was that the video hardware didn't do a whole lot for the programmer-no sprite support or anything like that. All programmers had to work with were one or more framebuffers, and they'd have to handle blitting, scaling, etc, themselves. Weirdly enough, it's that combination of factors that made the PC the superior platform for Doom. Console hardware of that era was intended to plot sprites to the screen as quickly as possible, so Doom, being both CPU and RAM intensive and favoring fast framebuffers over accelerated sprite rendering (that is, removing one of the primary advantages consoles had), forced porting teams to make some pretty hefty cuts just to get the game to run. Even the PSX version needed to be stripped down due to the system only having 2MB of RAM. I think the N64 was the first console that was actually able to handle Doom with zero compromises (and I think it's pretty safe to say that Doom 64 was technically superior to the original). If you're interested in the technical aspects behind Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, I highly recommend checking out Fabien Sanglard's Game Engine Black Book series. They offer a lot of insight into how their renderers work and the peculiarities of the PC hardware of that era.

Civvie11 subscriber? Me too -- he's good people!

I play Doom on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, so I guess I'm trash.

E1M1 12 seconds on nightmare, pretty trash yeah.

But first, we need to talk about PARALLEL UNIVERSES

@@Spinner891 reeeeeeeeeee

Twitch speedrunning is the USA, KZfaq speedrunning is Britain? :o :v

Id Software wasn't disconnected from the community, they knew that most people played keyboard-only. That's how they balanced the game: to not be near impossible for the casual gamer that only used a keyboard. Mouse is definitely valid, though.

@@eliteguard225 I wish more company's would be less disconnected.... Looking at you EA

I beat the game with keyboard one time, and let me confirm that it was not nearly as fun as mouse and keyboard. The speed and mobility you get with a mouse just makes the game 3x more fun

EVERYONE used the keyboard for the first couple years with Doom.

I used to use the keyboard playing quake on a "fast" 486. Below 20FPS, the mouse is not as helpful. Tried to set up Macros to make keyboard aiming less horrible in Quake II (doubling turn speed each time, halving it upon over-shoot): but the macros are "Edge" triggered instead of "Level" triggered, so holding down the key would not have the intended effect.

In the manual for Doom 95 or something it claimed that it was meant to be keyboard only, but the id folks confirmed that was not true and that was printed in error. That didn't stop the incorrect info from spreading though.

Not sure about that, but for the casual player like me, Doom played perfectly with just a keyboard, and it would be years until I married the two. There's a lot of functionality with Doom that doesn't require mouse movements, like vertical aiming. I could be completely wrong, but I get where the sentiment is coming from. I don't EVER remember playing it with a mouse, although my specific experience was limited in a number of ways. I'm just trying to offer my 2 cents.

@@rars0n *Doom played perfectly with just a keyboard* Doesn't mean that Doom was made with Keyboard ONLY in mind, like what the myth suggests.

@@jazzmaster909 Very valid point. But where's your evidence for otherwise?

@@rars0n it could be played with a mouse, concentrate fella

the good old times of having literal physical folders for different games. I remember when i had a folder back in the day that was literally just filled with pages of optimal skill point allocations for the different classes in maplestory

I very agree

Hey it’s mdb!

Which fossil did you get?

You gotta account for the human element.

Zelda is my favorite player character.

I was expecting Zero Master, but I have to concede that John has to be more influential.

I expected somebody like Smallant1, Fearsome fire or Cheese

David Mair FearsomeFire LUL

@@Arch-Tau Agreed. Zero Master's most recent Doom Eternal speedrun was freaking excellent though

He was being modest by not mentioning himself, he really had done a ton to promote speed running in the past few years. Everyone I talk to in person about speed running normally only know him.

As usual, as usual.

Yours?

@@maxpayne4107 nah youtube made one and ive litterally watched every video on there before it was even made lol

HIs brain is a predictive algorithm that can see reality before it happens. He merely wrote down his own work from the future, so I guess it was never a big deal.

HUMILIATING THE CYBERDEMON

dude same, Summoning Salt was my intro to serious gaming.

Me2

Hearing that is something that makes me not want to view these videos. I would save that title for the people featured in these videos and stop treating the viewers as kids who need approval

Not a fan of being nice to people?

@@KahavaveCAPIPI Kindness is always appreciated, but I don't see the connection here. Starting a video by greeting your viewers is a good habit, but calling someone an absolute legend just because the person is watching a video is beyond me. What would you then call a person who spends his life mastering a game and crushing the records? He should be called an... absolute legend?

@@Orccu A skilled speedrunner.

So, was it just me or did you also immediately think of the most influential, trend setting and record breaking speedrunner of all time? One word, *”BADABUN!”* I rest my c- Oh… No…? Well, never mind me then. I will just quietly see myself out. Thank you

John Romero is THE ALPHA LEGEND

maybe the absolute legends were the friends we made along the way

Oh the irony

Haha was searching for this kind of comment!

"What's the idea here? Well speed running is gaining a lot of traction lately and Nakamura wants to further cement his legacy, so he tries borrowing from the gaming community"

Thanks Vegeta 👍

**Breathes in deeply** ....... No.

It's pretty dead unfortunately, though. Where before a top 100 time was a huge accomplishment, it's very easy to get high times now since less players have played during the current wipe. They said a while ago that they were making SEUM 2, though, so I hope it's good!

Lol same

Yeah it legit makes me feel good. I think it’s something a lot of us don’t get in our personal lives

In terms of influence, definitely. But on its own, I think it is a neat but dated game with plenty of superior alternatives. Like Doom eternal.

John Carmack is, in my opinion, one of the best IBM PC programmers to have ever existed. Remember, the PC architecture was originally not designed for gaming, so even things like scrolling graphics was very hard to do, and yet Carmack found a way to push the envelope each time. Even Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons was incredibly advanced technologically.

Not even just played, but has an active community that is still making fan games. The only game I can think of which comes close is pokemon, and even that seems like cheating since the constant additions to the series keep it fresh in people's minds

@ And that blows my mind.

In the past, games were being made to become eternal. Now games are being made to make money as fast as possible.

@@дигл_лайв Yes I think that this is the problem, and it's not just about games. Making money is great, but it's about making money by making a great product, and not about making money by making a product designed to milk its customers. Sad really, but that's what happens when you take your eye off the ball and only focus on the net.

Thanks heaps. Depends on how familiar I am. Usually its 1-2 weeks.

Yeah... Gladjonas. (jk I know you mean Karl himself)
