Episode description

John Romero went from arcade wizard, to programming prodigy, to visionary responsible in large part for classic games like Doom, Doom 2, and Quake.  Unfortunately, there's only really one way to go when you're at the top...  id Software, an Ion Storm, a Deus Ex, a too-expensive-and-impractical office, and one big sword.  Daikatana.
