Welcome to Episode 88!
Today's interview with John Romero; John is an American video game designer, programmer, and developer. The godfather of the FPS genre having worked on games such as Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and Quake and is by all accounts an industry veteran and legend.
With over 40 years making games, John now resides in Galway, Ireland running Romero Games Ltd with his wife Brenda (another industry behemoth); their latest release Empire of Sin is certainly worth checking out.
We touched on working with family, Sandy's wellness, Shambler furriness, food trucks, biggest regrets and sins and much more in this jam packed episode.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
