John Carmack Plans Space Fishbowl
Lord British may have reached for the stars - and given us a cryptic message in space runes - but to do so he had to splurge millions of his hard earned Gold and train for months with Russian cosmonauts. If another Gaming Legend has his way, however, taking in the view from orbit might become a little easier - if slightly crazier looking. More »

The EA E3 2008 Press Conference In Pictures
Well that was eventful, wasn't it?

From Will Wright's Spore presnetation to the golfer with nicer legs than Tiger Woods, aging basketball players to id's Rage, if they showed it, I desperately took pictures of it, oftentimes cursing at my camera, the presenters, and Crecente under my breath.

id Has Plans For iPhone Gaming
In a comment filed to Slashdot, id co-founder John Carmack says that his company is looking at iPhone development. Sega's on board, as are EA and Gameloft, and it appears we may be seeing an accelerometer controlled Orcs & Elves if Carmack has his way. Although Carmack apparently didn't have nice things to say about iPod dev tools, pissing of Steve Jobs, he was up on iTunes distribution and its 70% royalty rate. More »

2008 Tech Emmy Winners
CES isn't the only show in Vega$. The 59th Annual Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards wrapped up earlier tonight at the Venetian Hotel. The tech Emmys are awarded to individuals, companies or organizations for developments which are improvements or "so innovative in nature that materially have affected the transmission, recording, or reception of television." Last year, Sony snagged an Emmy for the Xross Media Bar and the DualShock, while Nintendo bagged one for the Dpad. John Carmack picked one up as well for the development of 3D software engines. This year? Hit the jump for those exciting results. (Hint: 2008 winners above.) More »

Carmack Good At Coding, Making Rockets Explode
Longtime id programmer and technical director John Carmack is good at many, many things—writing and rewriting 3D game engines, typing up .plan files that read like moonspeak, and nearly being successful at simulating lunar landings. Unfortunately, Carmack and his team at Armadillo Aerospace are also quite proficient at blowing up aircraft on the landing pad, throwing them out of competition in the recent Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge. While the team was successful in getting its modular class rocket off the ground, an engine explosion ultimately kept them grounded. More » -

Carmack Codes On Honeymoon, And Every Vacation
John Carmack is one of those legendary industry legends who is known because he's ubertalented, but even more importantly, ubercrazy. Fellow id vet/wife Anna Kang fills us in on Carmack's exact level of geekdom:The really funny thing is, for our honeymoon we had to ship two computers to the hotel so that he could work! It's one of the endearing parts about it. He can't be without his computer, because he just loves to code, so he must code every single day!
But this wasn't just an isolated incident. More »

It's just worked out that way. id's Steve Nix explains: More » -

id Software Not Thinking about Unreal Engine 3
Doom creator John Carmack and id Software knows game engines. What's more, the Texas-based developer knows that even if loads of companies are using the Unreal Engine 3, there's no need to worry. id's new engine id Tech 5 is a true multi-platformer that can run at 60fps on the PS3, the 360, the PC and the Mac. Still, what does it stack up to the Unreal Engine 3? And does that mean less difference between the various platform versions? id Software's Steve Nix says: More »

id Bringing Orcs, Elves To DS With Orcs & Elves

The games are currently in development at indie studio Fountainhead Entertainment and will ship before holidays 2007. It's all a bit dry isn't it? Still, it shows that id Software is committed to the two portable platforms in addition to pushing the boundaries of top tier gaming hardware. Plus, more DS role-playing games are a good thing, not bad. Full press release after the jump. More »

The Museum of Dissected Games
If you're like me, whenever you read a Gamasutra postmortem, you just immediately scroll down to 'What Went Wrong'. Kotaku readers know as well as I do that the real fun of things is to be had when someone fucks up. It's as depressing to read a Gamasutra postmortem about a good game like System Shock 2 as it is riveting to read one about a bad game like Trespasser. That one in particular is great: what should have been a Gormenghast trilogy sized "What Went Wrong" bullet list actually has a sizable "What Went Right" portion that is just precious. Go read it.
