<2021-12-23T02:51:15.000Z> DuckKingLoow: So. I made games, Triple A games for over a decade. We should talk. 
<2021-12-23T02:56:56.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I made a couple of the games you mentioned. Red Alert 3 was fun to make.
<2021-12-23T03:04:51.000Z> DuckKingLoow: It expires at midnight. I also made Quake and Doom.
<2021-12-23T03:23:36.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Did you know that on Doom 2 Kevin Cloud had to bind no clip because they literally made Doom a dll based game the day before and it barely worked he had to not clip through half the map! Ms. Donna had to fight groupies off with a stick!
<2021-12-23T03:25:19.000Z> DuckKingLoow: She had to push Carmack into a taxi and pushed groupies off him, haha
<2021-12-23T03:32:56.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Marty is nice, but Hugo can be a dick, he loves the game too much.
<2021-12-23T03:33:38.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Holy shit 
<2021-12-23T03:33:53.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Yes let's talk
<2021-12-23T03:34:02.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Cool
<2021-12-23T03:35:13.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: I got the sense Marty is maybe a little more connected than he lets on, but didn't want to push the matter
<2021-12-23T03:35:34.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: He had a lead for me about, uh, let me see if I can find it
<2021-12-23T03:35:37.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I built like half of Forza, Alan and Dan are nice too
<2021-12-23T03:36:26.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Patrick Barrett
<2021-12-23T03:36:30.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Marty and Hugo legit love the community, but maybe too much
<2021-12-23T03:37:59.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Was Romero a dick or was that an unfair characterization 
<2021-12-23T03:38:21.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Romero was long gone
<2021-12-23T03:39:52.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Kevin Cloud was a fucking chad, he could beat me in pullups, lol
<2021-12-23T03:40:24.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Lmfao 
<2021-12-23T03:40:40.000Z> DuckKingLoow: He did cross fit, and could beat a 20 yr old
<2021-12-23T03:43:33.000Z> DuckKingLoow: But Like I met Phil Spencer a lot, I was in the industry for over a decade
<2021-12-23T03:43:46.000Z> DuckKingLoow: he is great 
<2021-12-23T03:43:57.000Z> DuckKingLoow: at the gym at 5 am
<2021-12-23T03:46:02.000Z> DuckKingLoow: My weirdest E3 had me eating pop chips in a literal bank vault!
<2021-12-23T03:46:45.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Lol how did that happen
<2021-12-23T03:47:37.000Z> DuckKingLoow: They wanted industry insiders, all they had was vodka and pop chips, lol
<2021-12-23T03:48:32.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Video games are fucking retarded, man
<2021-12-23T03:50:22.000Z> DuckKingLoow: lol, but steer clear of Gearbox, they are basically the worst
<2021-12-23T03:51:31.000Z> DuckKingLoow: shit the stories I can tell man, over a decade, 2 console launches
<2021-12-23T03:57:39.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: I want to hear as much as you can tell me
<2021-12-23T03:57:43.000Z> DuckKingLoow: So like what you want to do? I literally watched George Tekei film his Red Alert 3 scenes.
<2021-12-23T03:58:03.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Shit I got troves
<2021-12-23T03:59:55.000Z> DuckKingLoow: So the Kinect was delayed because the UI needed to be redone last minute. they had to pay people to literally put the discs in the boxes, it fucking cost millions
<2021-12-23T04:00:33.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: LOL
<2021-12-23T04:00:51.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Sounds like we should do RA3 at a minimum 
<2021-12-23T04:01:03.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: DOOM and or Quake if you want
<2021-12-23T04:01:44.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Tanya in RA3 was blonde because Jenny McCarthy looked shit in a wig. 
<2021-12-23T04:04:22.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Whatever. I'd like to keep it to one game tbh. Lets go Quake: Champions if you want. But I'll probably digress.
<2021-12-23T04:11:41.000Z> DuckKingLoow: We can stay on Command and Conquer too, CnC4 wasn't supposed to exist tbh, it was supposed to be CnC:Arena, but marketing didn't know how to put that into a box.
<2021-12-23T04:17:01.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I've been in the industry for a while. A couple of my good friends died in it. Accidents, but maybe not so much. It's fucking rough.
<2021-12-23T04:17:35.000Z> DuckKingLoow: It's why I left
<2021-12-23T04:27:06.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Pick a game I made, you can probably guess who I am at this point. I will go into depth, and sperg out on dev tools, probably (definitely)
<2021-12-23T04:30:03.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Sounds awesome. I am too drunk to hazard a guess though and try to forget doxxy stuff anyway lol. But tell me more about the accidents, if it isn't too much to ask
<2021-12-23T04:33:33.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Accidents. hmm okay. My friend died and was struck head on by a car. he got a mention in a game, but
<2021-12-23T04:34:18.000Z> DuckKingLoow: yeah it hurts to say it out loud I guess
<2021-12-23T04:35:34.000Z> DuckKingLoow: He was driving a motorcycle I still ride one in honor of him
<2021-12-23T04:35:53.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Sorry man
<2021-12-23T04:36:51.000Z> DuckKingLoow: On one console he is the only friend I have. In honor of him.
<2021-12-23T04:39:56.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Outside that! I knew tons of people! O Two of the best artists I ever knew!
<2021-12-23T04:40:35.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Whomst? 
<2021-12-23T04:40:39.000Z> DuckKingLoow: One guy could build you a desk if you pointed him at a tree@
<2021-12-23T04:40:54.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Wow
<2021-12-23T04:42:28.000Z> DuckKingLoow: So the artists I won't give out. One was so good the company didn't deserve him.
<2021-12-23T04:43:16.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: How did the 08 crisis change the industry 
<2021-12-23T04:43:39.000Z> DuckKingLoow: It hurt it
<2021-12-23T04:43:47.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Lol
<2021-12-23T04:45:25.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I was there as EA shut down studios, our graphics engineers had to fix "The Saboteur"
<2021-12-23T04:46:38.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Unironically, EA Spouse was a net positive to the industry
<2021-12-23T04:47:40.000Z> DuckKingLoow: People didn't want promotions to keep their benefits, it was weird
<2021-12-23T04:49:58.000Z> DuckKingLoow: Two of our graphics engineers "upgraded" to airline pilots, if you want to know how shit it was at EA
<2021-12-23T04:53:04.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I can go for days man. let me know when you want to talk.
<2021-12-23T04:53:17.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Can you tell me about ME2 drama
<2021-12-23T04:53:25.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Yes dude let's talk
<2021-12-23T04:53:32.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Email address? 
<2021-12-23T05:08:22.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I don't know about ME2. duckingloow@protonmail.com
<2021-12-23T05:14:22.000Z> DuckKingLoow: So I'll probably head to bed soon. use that email, or send me a message. I am the real deal, we can make something work.
<2021-12-23T05:16:15.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: 👌🏻
<2021-12-23T05:16:23.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Thank you friend. Goodnight 
<2021-12-27T05:36:50.000Z> DuckKingLoow: My NDA with the recent stuff is too actionable, RA3 works best. None of it exiest's, anymore
<2021-12-27T05:51:09.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I got hours of monologue regarding  implementation, until you stop me , lol.
<2022-01-31T00:46:29.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: I'm sorry I haven't forgotten about you I've just been busy
<2022-01-31T02:15:45.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Would you hypothetically want to come on the show? 
<2022-01-31T10:05:01.000Z> DuckKingLoow: No worries. I guess that would depend. Is it interesting material for a show? I guess a prescreen would be in order to see if it's a good fit.
<2022-01-31T17:03:29.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: what would you want to talk about? Forza? something else? I haven't been a big racing guy up to now but I am getting more and more interested in it and used to love the shit out of arcade racers 
<2022-01-31T17:04:11.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: both in literal arcades (Sega Daytona 500 was a personal favorite) but also stuff like F-Zero and Wipeout 
<2022-02-01T02:08:32.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I guess I can dip into old vs. new industry. From EA Spouse onward. Also, I know a bunch about Red Alert 3, I think you only got up to 2 last I heard. Sim racing games aren't really that exciting as a long topic, they require tons of car knowledge which gets boring if you're not into cars.
<2022-10-30T03:22:59.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: let's talk. what is your schedule like?
<2022-10-31T20:20:52.000Z> DuckKingLoow: I can probably do this month. I'll reach out on email, I think you have a link in the show notes?
<2022-10-31T20:22:43.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: realdharmakirti@protonmail.com
