The Carmack Doing an OS?

The number of emails pooring in over the speculative article that John Carmack is working on a 'gaming OS' is a bit much. Basically the premise was extrapolated from a bunch of statements and 'sources' with the idea that The Carmack was doing his own operating system targetted at games. Of course the API of choice was going to be OpenGL etc. Well while I was out to dinner and watching Buffy (great episode) BluesNews got word from John Carmack that this isnt the case:

What I am working on is very cool, but it certainly isn't an operating system...
So what is The Carmack really up to? Doom2000 I tell ya!

  • It's supposed to be Gibs. See? Gibson, right? Gibs. Not Jibs.

    And it's id. "id" is an actual word. Got it? Good.

    Anyway, I can't get anything to work uploading these pics so I say FUCK IT. I'm gonna get my 3 hours of sleep and wake up all groggy and pissed off at the world, then go to school and sleep some there, and maybe even get to go home early. Once I get home, be it from getting home early or just the regular old way, I'm going to sleep. Sometime in the next three days I'll eat.

    Fuck it. JUST FUCK IT.

    All that time wasted.

    FUCK IT. FUCK ME AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU...
