Hmm... it seems that John "Ion Storm" Romero has gotten married with a 19 year old romanian Rhaluka Alexandra.


And it also seems SO big news that it was posted in Shacknews and Bluesnews.

What can I say, John Romero is the Dude, or then he's one damn crazy guy...

I can't stop laughing...

John was one of the main guys behind Dangerous Dave, Commander Keen, Wolf3d, Doom, Doom II, Quake 1, Daikatana...

John Romero is the god of video games. If you have heard of a small title called DOOM you will know John Romero.

Oh and you can even see his face in one of the cheats of DOOM.

Well, he certainly never made me his bitch. Although that girl seems to have been a bit shorter on her luck.

By the way, thanks for that picture Mattsius. I've seen some pictures of the inside rooms back when Ion Storm was there but never the outside. What a vain little fellow John Romero must be... or was, whichever may be the case.

That girl looks frightened in a lot of those pictures. I suppose I would be too if I was taken from my home country, brought to the States, and made to live with Mr. Daikatana.

Hmm, I think the story goes something like this:

She hasn't yet moved to US and lives in Romania even though they are married. Romero is trying to get some papers through US officials so that Mrs. Romero can move to US legally.
