April 11, 2001 | ISSUE 47•47 ISSUE 37•13

LONGMONT, CO–While speaking on the phone with his mother Monday, Sega Dreamcast enthusiast Jon Grebe, 22, defeated Sarge to reach the fifth level of Quake III Arena. "Mom was telling me about Aunt Gail's thyroid condition when I finally got the Quad Damage powerup I needed to kill Sarge and get to the end of level four," Grebe said. "I yelled out, 'Yes! Awesome!' Fortunately, Mom was right in the middle of telling me the good news about my aunt's goiter getting smaller, so I was sort of able to cover it up."
