Transparent Water Spawns New Debate


LOS ANGELES, CA - Though the recent controversy over transparent water in GLQuake has died down, a new argument has risen in its place. This time, Quakers in the Los Angeles area are debating over the validity of transparent air.

"It's just unfair," says Louie Gray. "Most players in LA can barely even see their screens to begin with. I can't tell you how many times I get fragged by newbies because I have to wipe the dust off my monitor every few minutes."

LA Quakers'-Eye View"I think transparent air is ridiculous," says Smokey Walters. "The very concept of it defies all logic. I mean, who ever heard of air you can't see?"

Though meeting great opposition from people who breathe less than 70% lead, the LA Quakers remain devoted to their cause and are planning to take their case to id Software. Players from Mexico City, Bankok, and Manila have pledged their support.
