Where does this leave us?

There's no way I'm writing off the Oligarch story. I think it's great. I've never been a fan of the war because it should have ended long ago with the obliteration of old Zion and a permanent blockade around New Zion. I know this is all fi...

Angels and Demons 5-15-09

This is one I certainly won't be seeing. The thought of a quarter-gram of anti-matter actually being feasible makes me want to hit something. Preferably something about Dan Brown's person.

Thankfully, Rare's just explained the Mauser issue. It was a fault on his part. http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...578#36300540779 Given that it was a genuine error, I'm willing to accept an explanation that didn't involve jacks. Whethe...

What's Next for MxO?

You probably won't answer this, but did Rarebit's decision take you by surprise like it did us? Or did he tell you a while ago? Employment contracts and all that.

Few questions

Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously; I'd love to hear some good news), but I don't think SI Radio so much as glances at MxO these days. And does Catzi Radio still not have a Web site, blast it?

Well Here it is folks......Last monday of the year.

I can't think of any resolutions as everything's going swimmingly. Apart from my health, but that's sadly out of my hands. Erm... Oh, I don't know. Play TF2 more often? Check e-mails more frequently?
