@sharkymcshark3392 7 лет назад

Real Engineering Agreed, my family come from Galway, it's the most "Irish" part of Ireland in my opinion.

@Coolman0451 7 лет назад

My 7th Great Grandfather was from county Galway. Would love to visit it at some point in the future!

@DuSlothster 7 лет назад

Lets not get ahead of ourselves now. It's clearly Westport

@kduhtdkzrt 6 лет назад

Real Engineering I‘m going on a road trip to Ireland this year. Including a stay in Galway. Any insider tips are very welcome.

@moredetonation3755 4 года назад

My family's from there and we make an effort to go back and visit relations every few years, it's lovely

@KungFuKuya 4 года назад

I love how metalheads, and indeed creators of games like Doom/Quake, are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Romero is truly a cool dude.

@ThePhantomTommy 7 лет назад

Hearing John say words like Tayto and Centra makes me happy.

@MattGabnai 7 лет назад

This channel is what youtube, or even what the internet is supposed to be about for me. I'm always amazed and with a dropped jaw watching any noclip episode, not only because these are probably the most touching, compelling and inspiring stories of a generation of behind the screen "rockstars" I've ever seen, but because these episodes are also done with such attention to detail... the editing on this one was fantastic storytelling. The person who does your audio, I tip my hat to you. And all this at my fingertips, practically for free... sharing meticulously collected values. Again, what the internet should be about, for me at least. Danny O'Dwyer, and the rest of the team, thank you for your hard work!

@FrenXIII 4 года назад

@slidewineder3953 7 лет назад

The word "series" is both singular and plural. "Was" works.

@darovi 7 лет назад

Man I could listen to Romero talking about games forever, such a legend.

@nimbusstev 5 лет назад

Magazine articles back in the day always painted John Romero as this notorious, larger than life rock star with a ton of attitude. But in reality he's just a soft spoken indie dev with an immense love of games and an endless amount of game history knowledge. Thanks so much for putting together this wonderful documentary. I could listen to John talk for hours!

@suto9233 7 лет назад

Romero's hair is luscious and beautiful.

@mattsisland7101 7 лет назад

You should see it in real life resolution... About 6 months ago I walked past him near the coach station in Galway, it took me a while to realise who it was as I never expected to see him here.

@Neo2266. 4 года назад

Matt's Island Ever saw him again?

@Wladislav 7 лет назад

Loving the Noclip Profiles idea. I hope there will be many more to come!

@Dylanquinn666 7 лет назад

I always find it so novel hearing famous Americans saying Irish place names and talking about Irish things. The Romeros briefly dropped by my table at Dublin Comic Con last year and took one of my cards. I was speechless! Lovely people. Great stuff as always, keep up the great work!

@Fleshfeast 7 лет назад

v_idlescale 1 This is the Quake variable he's talking about at 29:32

@RyuRanXII 7 лет назад

I loved the mix of docummentary and interview. Also, I liked the fact that Danny and his team brought something new to the story that we heard many times already.

@Haririsoon 7 лет назад

The first part seems like a huge tourism advertisement for Ireland. I'm not even going to deny the fact that I really want to go to Ireland now, especially considering the culture is already very similar to my home in Cornwall. Great video though Danny!

@Haririsoon 7 лет назад

I feel like that'd be a massive problem for me all the time regardless of county xD

@mylesfrost335 6 лет назад

same, Ireland still feels very different and refreshing despite having all the things we love about Cornwall. im cornish as well

@kavalogue 4 года назад

Fuck Cornwall. You as individuals are all very welcome tho we’d love to have ye

@rbdriftin 7 лет назад

What a cool, laid back, intelligent, and warm guy. His past glories are probably the best thing he'll ever do but the man seems happy and fulfilled.

@eoinmcguire5071 7 лет назад

I live in Galway and occasionally see John Romero walking around. It's bizarre, you're heading out for a pint and suddenly "Oh there's the lad who made Doom." I'm so glad you were able to come interview him, this channel is spectacular.

@JohnMollaghan 7 лет назад

Born and bred in Cork myself, it's so nice to hear someone speak so fondly about Ireland. It's very easy for us Irish to find fault with things, we probably forget that overall, it's a great country. Great doc Danny, big fan of DOOM and Quake myself.

@krashd 6 лет назад

Seemingly people from Cork type in English but speak something else as somewhere between Dublin and cork all decipherability just falls through the floor.

@Jayy997 7 лет назад

Romero really needs to get onto DOOM 2016 ASAP. I reckon it would be right up his alley and he would have an absolute blast.

@Trashware 7 лет назад

*) Doom 4. It's Doom 4. Even John says so :p

@sigmaprojects 7 лет назад

I wouldn't say that, Doom 4 was the game they were trying to make, but was totally missing what Doom was about, they eventually scrapped that and made Doom (2016). But you have to realize Doom4 was being worked on for years and then when finally someone decided to make the right decision was to end it, most game companies would close doors after that. Thus why he said it's amazing that they survived because most companies can't do that.

@Trashware 7 лет назад

I'm still calling it Doom 4 though. It's a principle thing :p

@sigmaprojects 7 лет назад

Trashware But Doom 4 is a very different game. It was a game about how hell invaded Earth and the repercussions of that. It was too much like a COD game and eventually they realized it wasn't Doom anymore.

@Trashware 7 лет назад

You're not wrong, and also I'm not entirely serious ;) Although I do hate it when games just use the same title as the original titles (Thief, Shadow Warrior, Tomb Raider, Hitman etc). It's confusing when talking about games, and it also kinda implies you should disregard the originals altogether. Just name your game properly already.

@ShapelessMedia 7 лет назад

This is such a fantastic work from start to finish. The music is subtle and fitting, the shots are gorgeous and the Nat-Pops make such a calming mood for it. John's interview is incredible- Danny I am blown away again, you are an incredible creator and I can't wait to see more.

@Duggy123 7 лет назад

Yay for Galway, love the place! :D

@pokerboy4395 2 года назад

@androidt800 7 лет назад

The Irish tourism board needs to cut Danny a John a check for this piece. I've never seen the country profiled this way. So good.

@kevinhayes3672 2 года назад

John Romero speaking in Irish is heartwarming

@HorrorUberAlles 7 лет назад

Absolutely fantastic episode!! George Broussard (3dRealms, Duke Nukem 3D creator) profile WHEN?!?!

@pwnyou2295 6 лет назад

It seems like he's handed over the torch to the next generation of game designers. I'm glad he still designs, but lives a simpler life now. Ireland looks beautiful. From personal experience, anywhere outside of California is great. North Carolina is sort of like the Silicon Valley of the east coast. I moved here about a year ago and can't get enough of it. Tech companies are everywhere (e.g Insomniac, Red Storm, Epic, etc.), jobs are plentiful, people are much nicer, and the overall lifestyle is more relaxed and family oriented. In California, society is a lot more industrialized. Here in NC, mom and pop stores are everywhere (like in Ireland). In fact, in 2015, Money Magazine voted Apex as the best place to live in America. I'm only 23, but I've been all over the US (and several countries as well). California is on life support now. If your happy there, by all means stay, this is just my opinion. However, we live in a huge country, take advantage of that.

Such an awesome guy. Loved every minute of it. Thanks for putting the effort into making all of these.

@palofmino 7 лет назад

Danny, you're awesome. These documentaries are truly great, and I can't wait to see more.

@mynameisfatmike6742 7 лет назад

Fabulous video Danny boy, another home-run. I love the id software story and the roots that it holds in video game history. Masters of Doom is one of the best books I've ever read (and read multiple times at that). Romero is the perfect candidate to be the first Noclip profile.

@DerekRaponi 7 лет назад

WOW Danny - this was amazing! I was completely glued for 45 minutes. Keep up the incredible work

@BackwardsCombatable 7 лет назад

His passion is truly contagious. I can't wait to see what he's been working on. Also, this interview made me think it would be cool to get a games podcast from John. Would be interesting to hear his opinions on the genre that he helped create.

@MrMarlby 7 лет назад

The quality of your videos so far is really something else, far above anything else out there! Keep 'em coming :D

@aluminumman897 7 лет назад

I'm floored by this. This whole venture is huge. Be on the look out for ways to get really involved. So awesome.

@Wruce_Bayne 5 лет назад

Tremendous video, well done. I had only seen a few clips here and there of him and a lot of the time people made it sound like he loves the sound of his voice, but now I see him as a very genuine and passionate dude that just loves the fuck out of the medium.

@Drachensingsang 7 лет назад

I simply love your channel. I started really late with computer games and watching through your videos into the past has been invaluable for me and a great starting point as motivation to find more articles. I really always look forward to new content and it's wort every minute of it. It probably also helps that you are great at conveying narrative and that your videos are technically on par with any kind of documentary I've ever seen.

@wolfbananabear 7 лет назад

The quality of the content really shines through in ever scene. Keep making more!

@theuncanny2500 7 лет назад

@BloodyBobJr 7 лет назад

Really great interview, everytime I see and listen more to John Romero I start to understand the gaming industry a bit more. It's such a new and malleable industry, but the core it's always come down to passion and artistry like any other industry out there.

@charrado 7 лет назад

Thank you so much Danny, John and everyone else involved in the making\crowdfunding of this video. Commander Keen series and Wolfenstein 3D were some of the first games I ever played as a kid, and a big reason why I'm still a gamer today.

@mpjme 7 лет назад

As far as this patron is concerned, another solid delivery. Great job!

@orihalchon 7 лет назад

This is such a lovely (and surprisingly laid-back) video, Dan! I can see how the more "personal" Profile series will balance-and-freshen things from the usual normal Game BTS Doc's "story heavy" style and feel, while also giving the exposure of some 'unsung hero' in gaming. What a great idea!

@c0mmanderKeen 7 лет назад

This is so good. Don't stop! Thanks!!

@HeyLookaSandwich 7 лет назад
