John Romero has been responsible for some amazing games over the last decade. Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake are only a few of the games he’s helped create. So, as mad keen geeks, you can imagine that Cameron and I were excited to chat with The Romero! We talk about what it’s like to be Romero, what made Doom and Quake so huge, what he’s working on now with Slipate, his new gaming company, the music of Ronnie James Dio, and how he met his wife online. Thanks John for being a guest. It’s one of those podcasts that Cam and I will get to brag about to hard core gamers for years to come, and we’re looking forward to seeing what comes out of Slipgate.

I heard Craig Newmark on a recent podcast the other week, and decided that I’d love to hear his perspective on the current state of the Internet. With much talk about web 2.0, and social software, I thought he’d have some interesting insight into both because of his craigslist.org service. For those not aware, Craigs List describes itself as “Local community classifieds and forums - a place to find jobs, housing, goods & services, social activities, a girlfriend or boyfriend, advice, community information, and just about anything else — all for free, and in a relatively non-commercial environment.” Craig’s title is Customer Service Representative, which given he’s also the Founder and Chairman, should go a long way to describe his attitude to the organisation.

Max and I talk about, Perth, his recent books tour, his work at HP, his books, the movies, how he writes, email, the NationStates game, and his favorite gadget. If you haven’t already, go and buy one of his books. I also mention TPN’s flyer. Grab the poster and make sure you get a photo from an unusual location to win a prize. The Gadget Show #041 (MP3 – 14.4MB – 41min 45sec) LISTEN HERE I’ve been a fan of Max Barry for about three years now. I’ve been looking forward to the release of his new book, Company : A Novel , after finishing his last novel, Jennifer Government , while on honeymoon. It’s even more fun knowing that these, and his first novel, Syrup , are being made into movies. That, by the way, is an exclusive.

We discuss his past with Apple, and his thoughts on the company today. We also chat about his company, Garage Technology Ventures, and being a Mensch. Guy also has a great personal policy about email that everyone should read. The Effective Emailer gives some handy tips for senders of email. Guy admits that Web 2.0 is a great marketing term, but means little to users. So I recommend buying his book, The Art of Start. He also thinks that the tech industry is in a bubble, not a boom as described in Wired recently, and he provides his tip for what an entrepreneur should keep in mind. His blog has gone great guns, and his Total BS (Blog Stats) show he’s getting over 200,000 unique visitors. Guy gives us his thoughts and experience.

My favorite quote is “Gen Y build and nuture relationships using technology as their medium for communication.” We talk about instant messaging, gaming, MySpace, weblogs and the technology gap between haves and have-nots. He’s also a Tablet PC user, and he gives me the best reason I’ve heard yet to adopt using one. Scoble would love it.
