      This German ad for Quake is awesome too!

        Ah, fun for the whole family. Very wholesome, that Quake game is.

      And people make fun of that one ad where John Romero was going to make us all his bitch.

        To be fair, Daikatana sucked so the ad is mostly funny in retrospect because it didn’t make everyone his bitch. If it had, I’m not sure we’d be making fun of it.
