Civvie better add "Axe-wielding psychopath" to John's list of titles

There’s a universe out there where John Carmack became a serial killer

Good ol' John Carmack being John Carmack

Carmack saving the day with a battle axe warms my heart

Y’know, despite the guy’s shortcomings, Johnny boy is fucking hilarious

My mother told me story of her mother taking an axe to a door once. When mom was a child, the landlord evicted and locked Grandma and her kids out of the apartment (Different times back then). Anyway, her Mother-In-Law (Umpqua Native) handed her an axe and grandma went Jack Nicholson on the door to get her stuff.

I can only imagine Grandpa's befuddlement coming home from work that night to see the door hacked to bits and his wife, kids, stuff all gone.

I had a feeling John Carmack was a psychopath; but, i didn't know he was an axe weilding one. 😅

Practical problem solving. Would you expect anything less from Carmack?

[KwadDamyj]

Didn't Romero chop a door open with a friggin' CHAINSAW one time too? This seems to be becoming a recurring situation...

Ive seen videos on how that type of hat is made. Hat making is a really interesting process and I recommend looking up how both fez and cowboy hats are made. Cool stuff and hopefully these videos will keep the art of hat-making alive. Sorry for tangental comment. This is hilarious hearing about some Carmack antics

[Duamerthrax]

Is this the real story about Carmack chopping down the walls because people weren't working on Doom 2 or is that a separate story?

[michaelandreipalon]

OK, now I also wanna know what happened in those Renaissance fairs.

I would click the like button but this video is sitting at 666 likes. Can't get much more id Software than that.

Was it true Remero locked himself in because he wanted to play doom instead of working on it?
