GR Mailbag: Flying The Friendly Skies
Posted on Wednesday, May 23 @ 12:13:14 Eastern by Duke_Ferris
Well, once again I am forced
to apologize for a late mailbag. Extremely lazy mailbag editor Shawn "The Invisible Man" Sanders,
who may or may not have been at E3, is nonetheless using the convention
as an excuse for foisting the mailbag off on me again.
Currently, I am flying back
from that fabled video game convention on Delta flight number 42. With my trusty laptop shoved into
my gut by the reclining fat guy in front of me, I reach out to you,
dear readers.
However, without access to
the GR supercomputers that sort through our usual deluge of mail searching
for those pearls of GR reader wisdom, I thought I might try something
a little different.
Here are a few emails that
I got this week in my personal mailbox on my laptop. Get ready, Oprah, it's sharing time.

Dear Prfftt,
Well, that was certainly
a good use of your time. Not to mention mine. Hasn't e-mail made the
world a better place?

Dear Cooljerk1,
Well, of course. Just yesterday
I was defending the fort from a huge orc onslaught. Or was it giant
robots? That might have been last month.
Next week I'm staging an
assault on your school in order to replace your grammar teacher.

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...
