My Mailbag

[Arioch]

I received a rather cryptic e-mail message from an unknown person claiming to be a representative of the UAC C4D organization, based out of Cydonia, Mars. He claims that they have been successful in penetrating the computer security surrounding the mysterious Deimos Laboratories of Union Aerospace Corporation, a multi-planet conglomerate with suspected ties to the military. Further information will be made available from this underground site, apparently set up to disseminate data gleaned from their "information gathering exercises".

Odd... Rather odd I must say...
...must contact HQ...

[Guest Ike654]

I can't figure this one out. Is this a new project? New news site? New hentai site? Well, maybe not hentai...

[Guest Nash]

Could be an early sign of the next Doom game.

[Guest Kinoshkana]

This e-mail was produced by the International Fake Out The Doomers Commission.

DAMN THE IFOTDC!

[AndrewB]

I wonder why this news post appears in the last five comments posted sections as "My ..."

[Guest Captain Napalm]

Think ID could have anything to do with it?
On another note, my friend told me ID is not pronounced like the short version of Identification (i.e. I Dee) but it´s pronounced "IT" with a "D" instead of a "T" anyone know the Straight Dope on this one?

[NiGHTMARE]

Yes, id is pronounced 'id' as in the end of 'squid'. Id is something or other to do with the mind.

[Jon]

What is something to do with the mind? phonetic 'id' or 'eye dee'?

[Guest RicardoJose]

We're all doomed!!!

[Enjay]

Id, in the theory of psychoanalysis, one of the three basic elements of personality, the others being the ego and the superego. The id can be equated with the unconscious of common usage, which is the reservoir of the instinctual drives of the individual-biological urges, wishes, and affective motives. The id is dominated by the pleasure principle, through which the individual is pressed for immediate gratification of desires. According to the theory of Sigmund Freud, the energy behind the instinctual drives of the id is known as the libido-a generalized force which is basically sexual in nature-through which the sexual and psychosexual nature of the individual finds expression.

This same discussion pops up at the PlanetQuake forums from time to time =)

[bitstate]

if this is some kind of announcement about a new pwad/mod it's actually quite a cool one :)

[wavelength]

Good old Cydonia, always gets me through.

Oh and guys, stop using words you don't understand.

[wavelength]

Hey, listen you rat bastards; I don't hate anything. I don't complain, either. Define, please. I never meant to hurt anybody. Maybe I'm just from some sort of generation, young or old, who understands this stuff better; there is a whole load of crap out there that deserves an opposing viewpoint. Pardon me for spending my time the way I please on the internet. Do I tell you how to have fun?

Keep up the good work.

Congratulations Ling, you're officially in the META tags for deimoslab.com :)

[Arioch]

He's also mentioned specifically within the page.

This sits in nicely with what I heard id was going to do to advertise their game - through fake web sites and press releases.
Thankfully it won't be the old style .plan updates and mountains of screenshots...

Too much time on such little hands

[Risen]

How long is Evomo Cruor going to sit around before someone notices them?

Just a thought.

Then again, we have Ninja Doom on the other end.

Oh well.

[Jon]

heh I hope julian doesn't mind you posting his address like that...

in other news, why isn't there anymore news? heh.

[Arioch]

Yeah I'm sure he really lives on Mars.

[Guest BlackTerror]

He meant the Paris, France, EARTH address.

[Sir Fragsalot]

I can't decide whether this is a site created by id (like ua-corp.com) or a really impressive mod website. Time to do some ruthless fingering of the email addresses on the page to see if I can find out any more.

[NiGHTMARE]

Umm, try reading the other comments.

[Guest Firewater]

what?
what is this all about?

[Guest NunoC]

Personally this kind advertising is really good. Take Nintendo with Perfect Dark, for example.

[Guest Nash]

Hey cool, they actually update that site! I dunno what it is but if it's something creative id made up to promote Doom3... damn rocks.
