>As reported in David Kushner's Masters of Doom, when Carmack was 14, he broke into a school to help a group of kids steal Apple II computers. To gain entry to the building, Carmack concocted a sticky substance of thermite mixed with Vaseline that melted through the windows. However, an overweight accomplice struggled to get through the hole, and opened the window, setting off a silent alarm and alerting police. John was arrested, and sent for psychiatric evaluation (the report mentions 'no empathy for other human beings' and describes Carmack as 'a brain on legs'). Carmack was then sentenced to a year in a juvenile home.

He's a purebred nerd. He spent his youth glued in front of the computer absorbed in code, and as a result he's a bit socially awkward. Not too socially inept to stop him from having a wife and kid though, but after a lifetime of programming he seems a bit strange in social situations. Nothing more to it

>Scott Miller wasn't the only one to go before id began working on Doom. Mitzi would suffer a similar fate. Carmack's cat had been a thorn in the side of the id employees, beginning with the days of her overflowing litter box back at the lake house. Since then she had grown more irascible, lashing out at passersby and relieving herself freely around his apartment. The final straw came when she peed all over a brand-new leather couch that Carmack had bought with the Wolfenstein cash. Carmack broke the news to the guys. "Mitzi was having a net negative impact on my life," he said. "I took her to the animal shelter. Mmm."

>"What?" Romero asked. The cat had become such a sidekick of Carmack's that the guys had even listed her on the company directory as his significant other - and now she was just gone ? "You know what this means?" Romero said. "They're going to put her to sleep! No one's going to want to claim her. She's going down! Down to Chinatown!"

>Carmack shrugged it off and returned to work. The same rule applied to a cat, a computer program or, for that matter, a person. When something becomes a problem, let it go or, if necessary, have it surgically removed.

He is like a modern day Asimov

OK STORY TIME LISTEN UP

My dad went to a few lectures by Asmiov. Like 2-hour lectures. Asmiov would, without any preparing beforehand or notes or anything, talk about the particular subject in an incredibly succinct and clear way. The talk would start with a introduction that presented the topic, then Asimov would transition into the meaty parts with some relevant tangents, and then he would bring it all back together in the end with a big overarching and "wow" moment conclusion.

And it would be EXACTLY 2 hours.
And sometimes he would just ask someone what they wanted to hear about. And he would recite it, in this very encyclopedic way
