My Mailbag

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

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

Could be an early sign of the next Doom game.

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

DAMN THE IFOTDC!

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

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?

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

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

We're all doomed!!!

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 =)

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

Good old Cydonia, always gets me through.

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

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 :)

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

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.

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

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

Yeah I'm sure he really lives on Mars.

He meant the Paris, France, EARTH address.

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.

Umm, try reading the other comments.

what?
what is this all about?

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

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.
