No? Oh, well you are going to find out anyway.

Thanks to a talented Javascript hacker who wanted to learn how the Flickr API worked, you can now view your Flickr photo albums through the eyes of B.J. Blazkowicz from the original Wolfenstein 3D.

Just enter your Flickr username and let the app scurry off and search through your photos. It wiill then map them on to the walls of a 3D maze that has been made to look a dead ringer for Castle Wolfenstein. Its a great idea, although it can have trouble with very high resolution pics.

Now, somebody do a Facebook/Thrill Kill mashup..

No, he's [Hitler's] not in our game. We've got to save something for future Wolfensteins. We can't do him in yet! ...That's one of the cool things again about the Wolfenstein universe: we go back and we pull some of these things from real history and spin this what-if story for some of it, and some of it just kind of blows out... So like the Kreisau Circle originally is more of a group of aristocrats working behind the scenes in hopes to overthrow Hitler. Here, they're gun-toting resistance forces fighting on the streets. But it's kind of nice to take those elements, have a framework of reality, and build it out.

Well, Hitler wasn't in the last Wolfenstein. He can't be in every game, you know.

"John is pretty disappointed we didn’t have the manpower and resources to have a game for the launch of the" app store, id CEO Todd Hollenshead said.

Hollenshead said that Carmack and other id folks had been playing around with the iPhone SDK for awhile, but that the developer's small in-house mobile team just didn't have the time to put together a game in time.

"It appears that at this point that given the size of our team, we can only work on one mobile game at a time. We are probably partner up and the first (iPhone game) will be one where we work with a publishing partner."

Already the team is working on both Wolfenstein RPG and Doom 2 RPG for mobile phones, both of which id Software would like to bring to the iPhone, Hollenshead said.

"We have ambitions to have both on the iPhone," he said, "but it's too early to say if that's going to happen at this point."

As much as id seems to like the idea of iPhone gaming, they're taking a caution approach, but not for the reasons you'd think.

"The iPhone is cool, and the n-Gage was a nerd device," Hollenshead said. "The iphone is a pretty damn awesome phone, it’s a great business device, it's one of the best portable mp3 player you can buy, it can play videos. There's a lot of reasons to have that device and it has the power to play games as well. It’s a cool device that you can play games on and they can be awesome games."

But, perhaps the iPhone is too good at all the things it does.

Games on the iPhone, Hollenshead explains, are "going to be competing with all of those other things you can do on the iPhone that are pretty cool, that’s the challenge."

"It does raise the bar on what you need to do from a game standpoint."

See, Carmack's initial attraction to mobile gaming was the fact that, well, most cell phone games are crap and most cell phones can't do more than a few things well.

"Doom RPG was a fun game you could play on your cell phone," he said. "With the iPhone the experience, what you are going to be doing in games, has to rise because there are so many other things you can do with it."

Here's your second look at the new Wolfenstein in motion. The QuakeCon trailer is similar to its E3 predecessor, but features new, chilling, German accented voiceover work, more exploding bodies and even more terrifying Nazi experiments with bluish-green lighting. It's also about twice as long, making it twice as awesome.

I mean, what's not to love? It's a WWII "guys on a mission" movie, which means you're going to be blowing shit up, storming bunkers, busting dams, derailing trains, and killing Nazi's. I love WWII films, but with Wolfenstein we get the creature effects as well, and the guys at id Software have already done all the heavy lifting for me in that department. They went to the imagination well and pulled up buckets of craziness — and as you know, I respond to crazy.

While not totally finalized, Todd Hollenshead confirmed with me today rumors that id Software has indeed licensed the film rights to an adaptation of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and that Roger Avary will both be writing and directing the movie.

"We are super excited to have Roger Avary attached to the project," Hollenshead told me. "I met personally with Avary and he has an enormous amount of enthusiasm for the project. That makes us incredibly excited. Movie projects are tough unless you have a really good writer and we want this to be great."

When I mentioned the mixed reaction to the Doom film, Hollenshead first said he loved the movie but then went on to say that they always want to take their previous experiences and "learn to do things better."

Before penning the deal, id folks met with the studio to agree to some "creative guidelines" for the upcoming picture.

"We want to make sure things like BJ is the hero, it's set in World War II and the Nazis are the bad guys," he said. "But a movie does need to be different than the game, so there is going to be some changes made."

He added that id will stay involved in the project as the movie is being made and technically, the deal is still in the works. id just wanted to get the word out there during their annual Quake Con.

And while there are few rational thinkers—excluding helpless extremists who aren't driven by a political agenda or monetary pursuits—who would solely blame violent videogames for violent behavior, there are potentially correlations between the two.

According to a recent Slate piece, there are a number of studies that link behavioral changes and increases in aggression to exposure to more violent content.

From Slate:

In work published in 2000, Anderson and Karen Dill randomly assigned 210 undergraduates to play Wolfenstein 3-D, a first-person-shooter game, or Myst, an adventure game in which players explore mazes and puzzles. Anderson and Dill found that when the students went on to play a second game, the Wolfenstein 3-D players were more likely to behave aggressively toward losing opponents.

Hardly the devil or opening up on your classmates with an assault rifle, but there are some educational links here. Anyone engaging in debate with their parents or peers should read up on the studies linked here.

Thanks, Trumaine. Michael McWhertor

Some ingenious developer has programmed a clone of Wolfenstein 3D into a mere 5k of Java, appropriately christened it Wolfenstein 5k and released it upon the internet populace at large. Small enough to fit inside memory on the display of your coffee maker, it's a cute little clone in which Nazis are replaced with Bobbleheaded Smiley Faces. No shrieks of Mein leben! or Die Allied Schweinhund!, unfortunately, but we'll take what we can get. Squint ahoy!

Press the Buttons has a look at one such title, Super Mario Wacky Worlds, which was undertaken as a direct spiritual sequel to Super Mario World. The game looks as if it had a lot of potential, but unfortunately never got off the ground. Apparently, the CD-i was never meant to do sprite based platformers and a great degree of technical ingenuity went into tricking the hardware into doing it.

One weird revelation about Super Mario Wacky Worlds that took us back was that one of the programmers was Silas Warner... as in, the guy who created Wolfenstein! And here's an even weirder revelation, from Silas' Wikipedia page: "Former coworkers state that he was a prototypical "geek" in the best sense of that word: smart, inventive, and totally uninterested in conforming. He was a very large man, 6'9" and over 300lbs. Legend has it that he would typically program while wearing only his underwear, even in the office."

A three hundred pound man dressed only in his underpants hammering out the code to the CD-i adventures of one of gaming's most beloved characters. Talk about a recipe for success!

Todd Hollenshead Q&A [Worthplaying]

The safest villains in film, with the tender political correct climate in the U.S., are always the Eastern Europeans or the Nazi's. Id Software recognized this then with the original Nazi-hunt, and they are bringing those villains to Xbox 360 now with a new Wolfenstein title. The game is currently untitled and shrouded in mystery, but when id lifts the veil, we'll tell you how the bride looks.
