  I am glad to C that someone agrees with my opinion regarding the
environment.  A post-apocalyptic setting would be amazing the
possibilities would cool!  Mutants, savages, monsters(of course), and
other things, use your imagination.  I've noticed that most people share
most of my hopes for QUAKE and that makes me happy "as a little girl"
because that mean ID has heard opinions similar to mine and yours.  This
might give them some additional ideas some of which (if not all) will be
part of QUAKE!!  Iz the name QUAKE supposed to describe someone QUAKING
with fear or is it a reference to seismologicly? Perhaps it is describing
a post-apocalyptic world after the BIG QUAKE (ie:west-coast North America,
Japan, or the entire planet?).
