Lol, in Masters of Doom (which anyone who was into Doom should read) Carmack only ever does 3 things: write code, eat pizza, and lift weights.

Those days were pretty freaking cool. Suddenly everyone had to upgrade their computers, even if they weren't into gaming.

The amazing thing about Doom at least was that you really didn't. It ran smoothly on a 386 with like 2 megs of RAM.

Wolfenstien maybe. Doom wanted a 486 33. Doom2 wanted a dx2 66, and a dx4 100 was godly.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Which is probably why he's one of best coders in the games industry. Can't speak for his pizza eating or weight lifting skills but I'll be they're on point too.

Doom ran fine with the screen maxxed on my dad's work 486SX/25 but it had 80 megabytes of RAM so maybe that helped? (When you work for the city, everything is over-specced. Don't know why 80 though.)
