	John Carmack's QuakeCon 2005 keynote - The Tech Report - Page 1
		Carmack started out by offering his assessment of the current state of PC gaming hardware, noting that he is largely satisfied with current trends.
		Carmack said he considers the prospects for the upcoming physics acceleration chip on the PC iffy, because physics presents a very fundamental problem that graphics doesn't have: it isn't easily scalable for level of detail.
		Carmack predicted this constraint would lead to a number of physics-accelerated titles where acceleration affects only elements, such as flowing water, that are peripheral to the core gameplay experience.

	A chat with John Carmack
		There's plenty of coverage of the finals and of John's speech elsewhere on the net, but I managed to chat with him for a while after his official speech was over, and got to ask some questions about which all you tech-heads might be as curious as I was.
		John's hunch is that eventually 3D hardware will be based on some kind of multiresolution representation, where the world is kept in a data structure that fundamentally supports rendering it in near-constant time from any viewpoint.
		The analogy John likes is the comparison to the switch from vector graphics (which described a 2D screen in terms of points connected by lines) to raster graphics (which described a 2D screen in terms of a semi-continuous 2D mapping of values).

	Kikizo Games: Features: John Carmack Interview January 2006
		Carmack: While a modern PC or console game can credibly be designed with few technical constraints, machines with the capabilities of current mobile phones are tightly resource constrained, and a game design that doesn't take that as a dominant factor will certainly suffer.
		Carmack: If I could stop time or spin off a few clones, I would enjoy doing a DS or PSP game, but at this point I can't imagine having the time to be seriously involved in it.
		Carmack: We are working internally on a completely new project, but we haven't made any firm plans yet for the future of the Wolf, Doom and Quake franchises.

	TIME Digital -- Digital 50 - JOHN CARMACK
		Carmack perfected the shockingly violent and compellingly immersive genre of computer game known as the first-person shooter, in which players roam around a 3-D world seen from the point of view of a character inside that world--generally a character who has a rocket launcher and a serious grudge to settle.
		In the early '90s, Carmack and his colleagues at id Software developed the complex technology that makes those games possible.
		The two killers were reportedly Doom and Quake freaks, and soon "experts" were crawling out of the woodwork to testify that first-person shooter games train children to be merciless and efficient snipers.

		Carmack was very set on games as entertainment, citing value to the gamer as his primary motivation and what he believed should be the industry's primary motivation.
		While no one asked Carmack what he thought of Microsoft's XNA initiative, they did ask what he thought of the consoles currently under development, particularly developing on their rather unique hardware (multiple CPUs and graphics processors).

		John Carmack: As a part of id Software, the distinctive feel of a first-person shooter may be the broadest accomplishment.
		John Carmack: In the next five years, all of the flexibility issues should be worked out of hardware acceleration, so we really should be doing renderman-like content creation without the hard limitations that we live with today.
		With all the training currently tied up in it, I don't expect the basic modeling actions to be changing fundamentally, but there may be some radically different rendering models that use that data.
