   Haven't spent much time on Moatoob, aside from grinding my Tenora   
   weapons. I'll have to check out some of the missions there.   
      
   I really should be spending more time on Neudaiz, too. I just went   
   Acrotecher a few levels ago, and I was wondering why I wasn't getting any   
   FO-geared synth stuff or drops.

   Heh, I usually don't. That's the funny part. I sold my GC, along with a   
   bunch of other games I didn't play anymore, for store credit that paid   
   for 90% of my 360.   
      
   We can dream, you know. Even though there is probably a better likelihood   
   of winged primates flying out of your rectum, we can still hold that   
   modicum of hope that PSO won't be entirely forgotten by the gaming   
   industry.   
      
   Or the gaming industry could crush all of our hopes, dreams, and memories   
   by completely ignoring the celebration of a milestone in gaming history   
   and a time-honored example of how far we've come. Who knows?
