More Romero & Hall & Midway

Midway confirms Romero and Hall sign-on on GameSpot has confirmation of today's report that the pair of MonkeyStone designers have signed on at Midway. Here's a bit, that adds some new fuel to the fires of speculation:
Midway San Diego today confirmed that two of the industry's most widely known designers, John Romero and Tom Hall, have signed on to lend their experience to one of the company's upcoming action titles (which, one Midway insider says, is an already-in-the-works new version of Gauntlet).

Romero will be the project lead, while Hall will carry the title of creative director. Both designers will also assume roles with broader responsibilities at the San Diego studio. The pair will start work Wednesday.

seriously, go the fuck outside for a change.

Wow. Sorry I ruined your day, dude.

Stevie's sort of "hot-for". In other words, she's hot for a game designer, similar to the way that Anne Coulter is hot for a conservative political commentator.

Daikatana wasn't a bad game, after the patches which fixed the bugs and the HORRIBLE "save gem" atrocity. Your "buddies" were the worst part of the whole thing. Colossal mistake. But you could leave them behind and go back and fetch them later. Some of the levels were pretty fun. I guess I'm the only one that didn't see what all the fuss was over the frogs and insects in the first levels. They were fun.

Nice to see Romero back on his feet doing what he loves most.

Actually from her (somewhat) recent appearances on NOW she's more like 75% fat.
Details/link, please? There's nothing better than when a semi-hot chick loses her looks. The greatest day of my life will be the day when Paris Hilton hits the wall...

#21 yeah, George Romero is becoming really old now... and your photo is even an older one... but that's no wonder as he was born in 1940...

But I thought this would be about John Romero the game designer (pls note my sarcasm, kthx)

back to topic
Why cant those GameSpot guys not just look into Romero's Forum:

...Monkeystone is staying around as well! Lucas Davis is going to be in charge of the office and we have some great projects coming up that will keep the Monkeystone name out there for a while yet...

I can't understand why Midway should hire Romero when he's been bounced around the industry for being a lazy ass. Shame on Midway.

I hope Tom Hall gets lots of freedom to work his magic. Anachronox was brilliant; I will always wonder what he could have done with more time and resources.

He's done his time in Purgatory, and his woman's hot even if she is 75% plastic.

Actually from her (somewhat) recent appearances on NOW she's more like 75% fat.

He's been bounced around all over the industry.

The same has been said of Killcreek's breasts.

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

LET THE BASHING BEGIN!!!

Seriously though, its bad karma to wish people ill will, and we all have a chance to redeem ourselves.

Good luck to both of them.

On a side note, I didn't even know midway was still in business.
