More Quiet Work
Just another day in which a snow fall was avoided by hiding indoors, a GameAxis article was started and finished, more writing to the children’s novel was eked out and some Final Fantasy IX was played.

A tentative release period of late 2008 has been announced. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE don’t let this game suck, I NEED [...]
