1UP Interviews John Carmack on id Mobile

Yesterday, iD Software and Fountainhead announced they're opening their own mobile gaming division. That all seems to come a little late, since they've already been making some of the best damn mobile games for the last couple years. Give Doom RPG or Orcs & Elves a shot if you're still clinging to the belief these things universally suck.

1UP had a chatter about it with ID CEO Todd Hollenshead, Fountainhead CEO Katherine Anna Kang, and nerd-everyone-wants-to-grow-up-to-be-just-like, John Carmack. Between making games and blowing up rockets, (it's okay, he has another one) 1UP don't know where he finds the time, but they are glad he could spare some to geek out about the prospects of development on mobile and Nintendo DS.

I think it would be cool if John Carmack created a game for 360 and PS3 kind of like The Orange Box except for Doom 3. Include Doom 3, the expansion, and some of the Doom games. But enhanced for this gen. That would be so dope!

Luckily I still have my old copies of Doom and Final Doom for the PSone that I occasionally play upscaled on my PS3. But if ID released a DooM collection for all the systems, I would be all over it in an instant.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
