I love how honest he is about the products iD releases, such as RAGE. For example he has no trouble with talking about how they developed the game, from the programmers point of view obviously, where pretty much any other developer would be giving us some PR talk. In the end it is just great to hear how they decide things in their games such as how many passes they do on for example the lighting in Doom 3 then and now in the BFG edition, and why they had to limit said passes due to how the dynamic shadows operate.

^^ True.
I love his point about how everything is much more easier now in games, a la mainstream.
