Subject: The popularity of zombie games
I know it will be hard to break away from your habitual 
drug habits and beautiful women who fawn at your every 
move to actually answer to this, but please give input. 
Do you believe that we are getting a larger influx of 
zombie games simply because that is the closest thing 
to being able to shoot actual people? Most games have 
that feature, but with zombie games, it is always so 
much more gratifying. Take House of the Dead for 
example, most games like Quake let you blow someone 
against a wall with a mini-missle, but they stay in 
one piece. With HOTD though, it lets you blow the heads
off of psudo-human forms, then blow even larger holes in
their chest cavity. I myself have beaten that game 
thirteen times purely for the joy of taking head shots 
and shooting monkeys. Also, when your parents ask why 
exactly you play such a violent game, you can always say 
that they aren't exactly human, not so for Quake and 
other FPS. Do the masters at the GR 
fortress/compound/city-state believe this, or is there 
another reason?

Dear Cheese Dolphin,

Wait a minute...shooting zombies is gratifying? Oh, the atrocity! Some of our best friends are zombies. Some are even zombie alcoholics.

It's no secret that we love zombies. So they aren't the most articulate conversationalists or the snazziest of dressers and sometimes they smell a little like fresh cooked chitterlings. Who cares! They're good people, even if they have a habit of biting your head.

Heck, some of them can even dance like this. Don't find 'em attractive? How about this lil' zombie sweetie?

We think there are more zombies in games and movies simply because zombies hold many more positions of influence than they have in the past. Why is that? Simple. They eat brains. Lots of 'em. Then they make more zombies. Just like rabbits! They can't be stopped, you know. Just go watch a movie or two and you'll understand.

P.S. If you think blowing off limbs in House of the Dead was fulfilling, then you haven't played Soldier of Fortune...

This is to all the people who write into GR complaining about 
their harsh reviews.

Hey...
I've been debating to myself if I should reserve a gamecube or 
an xbox when they come out........as of right now I am leaning 
more for the gamecube (but that is only because it's as far as 
I know it is $100 cheaper.)But that still doesn't mean I am going 
to get one for sure...
so I came up with a solution and that is: which ever system that 
will have better launch games (in my opinion) I will buy.
So if you guys could (if you haven't already) please post up on 
the message board or where ever on your website the launch titles 
for the xbox and gamegube............. Thanks A Million
- J Dawg

Hey J Dawgg,

Wow! Two insightful e-mails in as many weeks. We can't believe it. Either gamers are getting wiser or the powers-that-be have put something special in the Mountain Dew.

The final launch lineups haven't been solidified yet, but in the meantime you can check out our Screen and Fact archive for a bunch of Xbox and Gamecube info.

Dear Simon,

Thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate you appreciating us, though we're also kinda scared. Please refrain from ever using the word "tubular" again. And Ben feels a little uncomfortable about you talking about his butt.

Thanks again!

Subject: H30 surfing
GR,
First off I love your website. I check it every day
(despite the fact it isn't updated every day, but hey,
i've got time on my hands). Anyway, I wrote this
letter in response to something in the review of H30
Surfing.
No, i'm not going to tell you that its a great game
and you all suck, because that game royally sucks
toenail clippings (Its not worthy of sucking my
beautiful ass). The review asked what H30 is if H20 is
water. You suggested that it was perhaps a jelly-like
substance (mmm...Jelly...) But it is actually acid
(No, not the good kind of acid). 
It is formed when you drop HCL powder or another
powdered acid into water. I guess the guys who named
that game failed Chemistry! I'd hate be one of those
surfers, or even worse, someone who bought that
craptastic game. Well, thanks for listening to my
dorky correction. ROCK ON!
-The Cheesegod

Greetings Ryan,

Thanks a lot for clearing that up for us. We were beginning to fear for our safety. This just goes to show - a nerd is a terrible thing to waste.

Thank god for chemistry! Well, except for the part that makes bombs or any substance that can peel the skin from your flesh just by sniffing it. We'll thank big stupid megalomaniacs for that, like Caligula, Skeletor, or George W. Bush.

Subject: stop making Dreamcast!
Now that there are no more Dreamcasts,what happens if 
one brakes? who will fix it? what if it needs parts? 
I dont own one yet, but i dont want to blow $100 on 
something that can't be kept going

Greetings AOL Subscriber,

That's a fair question and deserves a fair answer. Darn.

Sega is still around making games and plans to be for many years to come. They've just decided to stop production on the Dreamcast. So if your Dreamcast comes down with something (sniffles, stuffy head, cramps, etc.), you should still be able to contact Sega's technical support and utilize your DC warranty.

But if Sega proves to be less than helpful (which very well may be the case) or your warranty is rendered void because you felt the need to fondle your DC's innards for one reason or another, then you can go here or here to get in touch with some Dreamcast doctors. Both places offer repairs and replacement parts.
