Heyya Memnoch!

Hmm, do you work for a gaming industry btw? I had a weird notion that you do 
(before reading this post,mind you) ;)

Also: WHAT?...fire on their roof? ah man ... i hope nobody was hurt. Well at 
least nobody was FIRED,I trust ? :P (lame joke)

Lol, you stared them every day ? I could blackmail you that I will report 
you if you don't give me a free copy of Elite IV ;)
