I know what you may be thinking after reading the news title but no, id software's John Carmack has not decided to leave the gaming industry to become a adult movie star (otherwise known as porn star) but infact John Carmack has just done an interview in the November 2004 issue of Playboy magazine instead.

Unfortunately I cannot link you to the entire interview as you must purchase the magazine for yourself in order to read it but I can however show you the following sample:
PLAYBOY: What is the best video game of all time?
CARMACK: The quintessential game that has influenced a lot of my game design is Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis. It's a really simple game: Go fast and be really cool. You don't need 20 little gadgets and gizmos.
If you do somehow happen to come across this issue of playboy in a shop somewhere, at least now you have a good excuse to buy it (did you need one before?). Enjoy!
