Quarter to Three game site
Mark Asher
launched a website.
We even have a top ten list about gamers and the recent election.
We're having some display problems for Netscape 4.7 users, so I
apologize for those. IE and Netscape 6 are fine with the site. If
anyone can figure out why it's all futzed up, email me.
Thanks!
TheRealEd
trust implicitly and among them are Tom and Mark. Tim Chown is another.
Good luck guys!

Thanks! We appreciate it. Our goal is to be interesting. We know we
can't be as comprehensive as a lot of sites, but's that's ok. Other
sites can be phone books. We'll try to be the interesting short story
or essay that you want to read when you can clear 20 minutes of your
time.
Most of all, I think that both Tom and I cherish Usenet, and our
gaming sensibilities have been molded and fired in these groups.

Heh -- well, it's not like Tom and I celebrated by going out to Spago
on the arms of supermodels. <g>
Give us a chance and check the site out. Maybe you'll enjoy it.
Believe it or don't, but Tom and I are pretty hardcore gamers. If we
sometimes have vanilla opinions, it may be because our opinion just
happens to fall into that middle range of opinions.
I do think that the writing on our site will be a cut above most of
the other sites. I always appreciate good writing, even if I disagree
with it. I'm pretty liberal (Tom's conservative), but I always enjoy
reading George Will. I seldom enjoy listening to Rush Limbaugh. See
the pattern?
Anyway, all I ask is that you give us a chance.

I had no idea Tom was in Theological Studies at Harvard. But after watching
that episode of "ER" that he was in, I understand a little better.
I think the most interesting thing I read at the site was the missed
opportunity described by Brad Wardell in *not* having an election game ready
in time for the most heavily publicized election in history. That's gotta
hurt.
Good luck, guys!

Oh joy...2 of the people on here with the dullest, most vanilla
opinions (when they do actually express any, which isn't often) have a
website. Pardon me if I forego the celebration. :)

Well thank goodness, because there just hasn't been enough of that
here.. :)

Ha! We're just doing our part to make the election mess unavoidable!
We'll probably do our silly lists once a week, but today I'll have a
new one up that won't have anything to do with politics, I promise!

I haven't seen it, but Tom told me he's convinced he got that part
because he pronounce all those multisyllable medical terms correctly.

Yeah, no kidding. That could have been the type of game that the
mainstream press could pick up on even.
So how many election games will we see before 2004? I suspect several.

Huffman would be more interesting but I think this one could turn into
something good. Whether or not you like these guys they're both literate
and tend to be unbiased in their opinions (wrt hype), and those are the
two features I like most in reviewers.

In my interactions with you, you've commonly been a mouthpiece and/or
excusemaker for game companies, which to me, makes for dull,
uninteresting reviews/writing. And based on my interactions with "Tom
Chick", his general attitude grates on my nerves. So that made for my
lukewarm reaction to your announcement. :)
> Anyway, all I ask is that you give us a chance.
Fair enough. Seeing as your response was pretty cool, i'll cruise on
over and give it a look.

Wow.
I think you're judging both Mark "GameCo has to make a profit" Asher and
Tom "Deus Ex sux ass" Chick a bit prematurely based on a few chance Usenet
encounters. ;P
I'm glad you're going to check out their site, they're both capable of
pretty interesting reporting/reviewing, not to mention good writing.
BTW, guys, in case you're reading, I like what I see so far!

You don't have to put "Tom Chick" in quotes. Unlike someone who goes
by the monniker of, say, "SilentDreams", Tom Chick is in fact my real
name. :)

No one asked, Mr. Dreams, but your position on the issue is duly

Oh, you're *that* Tom Chick !
Why didn't you say so.
You must be real now ;)

A. I thought nobody could actually have such a silly name, B. I could
honestly give a fuck less what your real name is, and C. My name is
none of anyone's business, and most certainly none of yours. So grate
away, Tom, as I can return the favor just as well. :)

Wait---what episode of ER was Tom in? Seriously, I wanna know!
Is he the pregnant Asian doctor?

He portrayed Weissbroot in episode # 4.3, "Friendly Fire" 10/9/1997. This
was before the asian pregnancy, but after the PBEM cat scan.

In spite of Tom hating Deus Ex, thanks for creating a gaming site I
can read without throwing up. Watch it, though, if I see any
pimp-talk or the word "hoochie".....
