So my interview with Anna Kang is up on Gamasutra, in which she talks about how she and John Carmack got the idea to make a Doom cell phone game, in addition to the new Orcs & Elves franchise coming to DS. She wants sheep to be able to travel through portals and bite you if you try and eat them. It was a fun one, and a cute read. Apparently one of the hazards of being married to John Carmack is that he will bring two computers to the hotel room on the honeymoon so that he can code during it. Yes, he really did.UPDATE: After Kotaku teased them about John playing on the honeymoon, I thought it prudent to mention that he also made her complete pen-and-paper RPG games often on her birthdays, to play with their friends. Is that romantic, or what?

Interesting interview. I just finished reading "Masters of Doom," and it paints a picture of Carmack as someone who would bring laptops on his honeymoon, so I'm not surprised.
But this is coming from a guy who brought a PS2 on his honeymoon ... but it was my wife's idea.
Nick!!!!
Pssh, your wife was lucky to be marrying you. I'll bet she would have cosplayed Tifa and called you Cait Sith in bed if you had demanded it. AND SHE WOULD HAVE LIKED IT.
My wife doesn't get into games like i would like her to but she will watch me play and have fun.
Recently got her to play the first month of persona 3. she is having trouble putting it down. Not exactly a game i would have her play first but whatever works i guess.
I wonder what she would have said if i suggested some tifa cosplay lol?
