Wow. I think I found Alizarin's direct spiritual ancestor. This guy sounds exactly like an amalgam of every snarky, self-important critic I drew upon to create the miserable mongoose. I should've known I could just go to Pitchfolk Media and get it straight from the tap.

A couple of passing thoughts:

1) There's no way I'm going to remotely attempt this on my own unless/until the Parks get built, but... liquid_memories and I stumbled into that Eerie Puzzlebox Synchronicity again, and both apparently had the idea of stashing a big box store, an OfficeMax or something, in the Mess and seeing how it would fit into the local ( Read more... )
