Selected Shots

Last updated: Sep 12, 2007

Gee whiz, they were right! A couple more jokes and a score. Man, that was cold. ... but it explained my weapon's radiance! Sometimes the direct approach is the most effective! This is an adventure game, right? Surely one of these objects will help me! Spectacular outdoor scenery I've got a treasure! aaaand... a hacker joke. (That one I don't really "get".) Exploring a rich back history and cursing a carry limit.
