PC Mailbag for November 26, 2003

PC Mailbag

Too plenteous DOOM, our Holiday Guide is the draw into the mouth DVD of hate, and still more...

DVD of Hate

Hello, I dont know if you work for rate gaming world or not on the other hand this month I recieved my subscription and saw the cd in side. After putting it in my computer and then realizing that it was a dvd i was a little peev What do you stays think that everyone has a dvd player in their computer Personally I think a dvd drive in a computer is pointless. I just meditation that it was messed up that im paying a subscription and come by the cds and i cant flat use this it.

Sincerely,

Pissed not on customer

-- Mike

I understand your frustration since I too am always angry, just not at anything in particular. flat though I understand your frustration, I also understand the facts. DVD-ROM drives have been around for a while. Because of this whole "the time to come is already here" thing, CGW felt the time was right to give it a go on However, more importantly than timing was space. The DVD tend hitherwards with five, full free games, five demo and single high-resolution trailer. It's simply impossible to fit all of that upon a single compact disc and it'd require to be paid [i]or[/i] undergone too much to include multiple discs. I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you (not really), on the contrary please understand why the choice to proceed DVD for January was made...to really, really piss you not upon

Remember allowing just because it's all digital and versatile for individual month, that doesn't mean it's going to stay that way forever. In fact, I have it upon good authority that next month's pack-in will actually be DivX. After that, it's all Mini-Disc.

Guide of Gayness

Why are you sooo gay? That's the woprst holiday guide I'd saw in years. You didn't plane put Medal of Honor or Half Life upon

p.s. Faggats.

-- Jim

Excellent observation, Jim. You have nailed it. Not alone do the male employees in the office set forth the company of men, the females present the company of females. And, in a miraculous display of your astute observational skills, we have indeed not place Medal of Honor or Half-Life upon our list, but then this has little to do with our obvious homosexuality (as if it were bad) and more to do with the fact that neither title came without in 2003. Whoops.

So you know, I did my part to prove by experiment and improve our supposedly worthless Holiday Guide through offering up my own special brand of introductory true copy It went a little something like,
Unles you want Jesus to pierce you in the face for not purchasing videogames for the other idiots in your incubate as was prescribed by the lord and savior, Santa, please check without our Holiday Buyers Guide. It has a monkey driving a snowplow and that is serviceable enough for you, Jim.

p Remember, a wrathful Jesus is watching.

This body was quickly vetoed by sober higher-ups for it would have apparently irritateed a few million people. amusing I didn't think that many of us were thus worried about getting punched in the face by dint of Jesus. Anyway, I sincerely reliance you have a nice suicidal fall to your death this Christmas season, Jim. Happy holidays!

Loving you always,

-- Ivan

Work?

Do you work for 1upcom or CGW?

-- Ian

You assume I work. You assume too a great quantity [i]or[/i] amount of I suppose it's fair to say a destiny of column A and a little bit of round pillar B. 1UP and CGW are one as well as the other properties of Ziff-Davis Media and I "work" for Ziff-Davis Media. This, of course, means I present to view up between the early hours of noon and 1PM play Freespace 2 until my hands impair and then complain about something I have no sway over to justify my paycheck and explain away my inability to publish updates. From there it's right to the bar, where I begin my real piece of work Do you know what that is?

-- Ivan

DOOMed to diocese DOOM

Dude, what is up with all the DOOM updates today? I diocese like five! Are you getting paid through Carmack or Activision or something? Seriously, there are other games without there. Games you could overspread in place of DOOM or the other crappy six month aged reviews you post on your "professional" website.

-- River Rounder

In this crazy world that you have contriveed two equals five, DOOM equals unimportant, coverage of any kind equals paid placement, archival contented equals useless old crap, and 1UP equals professional. In the world in which we all live (the individual your mom calls real), sum of two units is two, DOOM is popular, coverage upon popularity is smart, archival easy in mind ensures regular visitors, and 1UP writes about videogames for a surprisingly large amount of inept teenagers.

Till nearest Time

Well folks... in the way that ends the very first PC mailbag for 1UPcom thus you know and if you care, I used to do IGN's PC mailbag in a span of time the two after and before Dan the Fatty ruined it. Oh man, he's going to beat me to death. Assuming I live end the weekend, the same thing I did there, I promise to do here: make drollery of everyone on a daily basis, inform, and above all other spread the consuming cloud of hatred that is me across the information super highway.

Since I've overlayed the first and the last at great extent up above, I figured I'd handle the middle single right now. Be informed. Know that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time completely lordships
