Anachronox I guess. Can't think of anything else that's worth mentioning.

He had no involvement in that, that was Hall (other IS principal). JR's ridiculous spending at IS Dallas pretty much guaranteed bankruptcy.

Ning, you read Masters of Doom, yet? Srsly, you'll love it.

The guy bankrupted a company, then went on to do nothing....

I'll give credit where it's due, kudos to him for landing all these unicorn-esque geeky model-types.

Seriously Romero isn't even the technical type compared to Carmack not even close. He was more of a marketing and PR personnel and probably some level design artist and a very poor game designer at that. As a sales person the guy would probably stand out but as a game programmer or designer that guys is leagues below compared to even some of the "celebrity veterans" in the industry.

You know you can read more than one genre of book at a time right? I do that a lot.

Spoilers: Being and Time isn't finished. It's a lot of build-up for nothing. H needed to submit something to be eligible for an academic postion. It's largely plagiarized from Okakuro Kakuzo. Intro to Metaphysics is pretty fun though. You can safely skip everything after the linguistic turn.

Yeah you should read Masters of Doom.
