That would be John Romero, who is trying very hard to position
himself as a "rock star" in the world of computer gaming, playing off
his credits on games such as Doom. His startup, Ion Storm, has a sick
amount of funding. "Daikatana," the game referred to, nonetheless looks
a lot like, well, Doom, with a barebones linear plot that involves
shooting things.

It is fairly unusual to see computer games get this much
coverage in mainstream media, so it was interesting for that alone.
