  • Oh My Poor Diablos!

  • Hardware Killer for Hire

    Here lie once-treasured hardware and tools: replaced by functioning or newer counterparts; immediately never forgotten. RIP, you lot. Notable deaths: Keyboard: Death from poisoning drowning. A cockroach crawled on it so I sprayed it. And by “sprayed it” I meant I emptied half a bottle of bug spray into it. Earphones: Stomped to death. Clean…

  • So, Twinity

There was no evidence of them interacting then and they went on separate ways later on, one off to befriend the Luxons and the other the Kurzicks. A few years later, however, on our trips to various lands with…
