Doom co-creator John Carmack earned a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Game Developer's Choice Awards, but he's not done. Oddly, he wasn't sent an early iPad despite being a big iPhone games booster. We discussed that, plus, naturally, Pokemon.

Note that the iPad is set for release early next month. Carmack's id Software has been one the best-regarded major game development studios working on games for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
