| You know, I've been told that WINE can run a lot of modern games very well. And there are actually quite a few games that run in Linux! All of id's games and games that use the Unreal (I think) engine are Linux-compatible, as well as a few other high-profile games. |
Yeah, id is the big exception to the rule (kinda like how all Blizzard games are hybrid Mac compatible).
Didn't know about WINE, though! Hmm. |
I would bet that the id thing is Carmack's doing. That seems like the sort of thing he'd do. He posts on Slashdot, occasionally! And is my personal idol! |
Yeah he was my idol too when I was a teenager. He is a smart guy.
But after a while I realized that there are many other programmers just as good as him, just less famous. Anyway he is just an Aspergered hermit programmer that doesn't even care about games (or indeed anything outside of rockets and graphics programming technicalities).
(Carmack anecdote: I read in Masters of Doom that when he was a teen, he brewed a makeshift explosive in his home chemistry lab, exploded a storefront window, and stole some computers. True story, apparently! I find that story sums up Carmack somehow.) |
