PQ | Features | Mailbag

There's nothing we here at PQ love more than getting reader feedback on everything we do here. Well, okay, that's not quite true -- we love making fun of reader feedback even more. And that's why we have the PQ Mailbag! Read what your fellow gamers think of the hard-hitting editorials, the probing interviews, and the illegal pictures we post regularly in the PQ mailbag!

January 17, 1999 The Mailbag switches to Sunday to take on a more religious tone as evidence of God playing Thief : The Dark Project is uncovered. Plus violence in computer games, point releases, and the games that are on your hard drives. January 9, 1999 Of course video games don't cause vilence you f*cking moron. Come back here while I'm still talking to you or I'll beat the f*cking cr*p out of you. THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK! January 2, 1999 A funky drunken monkey is rehabilitated into society, plus getting the horn, customization (is that even a word?), and a song of remembrance for Quake II. December 19, 1998 Iraq's secret weapons deal with the Makron is revealed, plau Quake Lithium Arena, more funky music, the usual procession os idiots, and Thief, the game that's already robbed me of $3 and several hours... December 12, 1998 With Gestalt soaking up monitor radiation (and beer) at a bit UK LAN party this weekend, the mailbag is donated to a worthy cause. December 5, 1998 Does it really matter how we pronounce gib? Do I really care if you think those small chunks of meat are named after a member of the Bee Gees, and not giblets like everyone else (including John Carmack) believes? Can't we all just agree to disagree? Hell no! November 28, 1998 Another batch of mail about the future of the Quake community in the face of the current glut of first person shooters, plus the usual freak mails, bandwidth blues, rodent hygiene and the one true pronunciation of "gib". November 21, 1998 The usual gibberish. November 14, 1998 The answer to gibs, the universe and everything? 42 of course. November 7, 1998 There is no end to the patch war in sight.

There's a suprise... October 24, 1998 Mailbag v3.22 was released today, fixing some video problems with previous releases and including a new Shut The FAQ Up. Please note this is just an alpha patch and probably still has some bugs in it, not to mention funky drunken monkeys and rotting banana skins... October 17, 1998 What, none of you know David Holmes? Jeezus .. uncultured yobs. Oh well. This week we have plenty of gutter-level action, including butt cam jokes and the magic words "anal seepage". Enjoy.

September 19, 1998 You all cheated on last week's homework, so as punishment you have to read through this week's mailbag in it's entirety. Pay close attention - I'll be asking questions later. September 12, 1998 Gestalt returns from ECTS with a bog of goodies and a hangover to end the world, only to find that his funky drunken monkeys have been taken hostage. September 5, 1998 With Gestalt on his wat to ECTS and the funky drunken monkeys impounded by customs, the last best hope for Mailbag was .. Fargo. This is a dark, dark day indeed... August 29, 1998 Air control confusion, more llamas, hardware addiction, the right to ramble, shirtless fat slobs, and a lost psalm from the Quaker's Bible... August 22, 1998 Fruitcake. Lots of it. In nice slices. With a dash of funky monkeys, llamas, squirrels and a nice little pharmaceuticals plant .. sorry .. weapons factory for Bill and the boys to play with. Be good now. August 15, 1998 Does anyone actually read this description? Do you ever read it and think "oh, cool, I must read Mailbag this week"? Or do you just get the hell on with it? do you even notice if what I write here bears any similarity whatsoever to what's actually in the Mailbag that week? Answers on the back of a postcard to the usual address... August 8, 1998 Clan Nine From Outer Space, overdosing on the Lithium, capturing the winning team, and shutting the f*ck up... August 1, 1998 Weapon (im)balance, mod author motivation, another bottle of Lithium, CTF llamas, transvestites, a short sharp Shut The F*ck up, and goat blowers... July 25, 1998 Beta testing, weird mod ideas, Lithium servers from hell, cable modems (again), crack pipes, and another dose of spam. Enter at own risk - Mailbag may damage your health.

July 11, 1998 Before Gestalt left for a weekend in Yorkshire, he left this important message for you! July 4, 1998 Quake and Quake II square up for a low dirty fight, cable modems and ADSL, patching the patch, Quake Arena (again), some guy who thinks Quake is just a game (hah!), whining about whiners, a Paul Steed impersonator and Fargo gets down to Vanilla Ice...
