Sindobook:
Here is the new rule in regard to PMs. Please - only send me PMs that make sense. Too much lately I read a PM only to walk away and ask myself "Now what was this person trying to tell me?" And then to top things off, people think I am ignoring their ambiguous PMs so they post the message online for all to see, thinking that is the only way to get me to read it. And then they complain to me that suddenly all their friends think they are goofy too, b'cos they can't compose a simple, straightforward message, instead ending up with a bunch of incomprehensible gobbledygook that no one can make any sense of. So if you are going to take the time to type up the PM and send it to me, whether it's about small animals or not, take that extra time to make it actually make sense so that I can understand it.
I did get one question about whether I knew of any company that made special glasses that small animals could use in order to watch the newly released "3D" TVs. No, I'm not aware of any of the new 'active shutter' glasses made for small animals. I don't know of the companies that make them but maybe you can start a petition to get them to make the 3D glasses for small animals.

Yes but they are real, real people, I can assure that. I saw them with my own eyes.
I didn't see Mr. P though. Only his minions. Oh well. It's scary b'cos I saw roughly 10 people there who I know or knew (not very well, evidently) irl, but didn't know were into that kind of stuff. Oh well.
Oh and the guy in the maid outfit was for real too. I'd seen pictures but never in person until then.

BTW here is a translation of Mikey's response to the review (or basically the review of the review).
P4: Lol. This is like a fat man complaining he can't fit through a door. Lose some weight buddy!
P5: Yep, this could have been done better. What a waste of a room.
P6: I think the author missed the point. He doesn't understand what mega64 is all about. It would be like asking Rammstein to put on a concert and then telling them they can't use fire and pyrotechnics or make any loud noises.
P7: She's always late. Get used to it. If she was actually on time, people would be like 'what happened?' and 'something is wrong'.
Overall the review gets a 58% on the accuracy scale. Too much ranting and not enough reviewing.

All right I have been getting a few about _S_ aka. _M_ as posted on Jan 11th. Basically around a month ago, Mikey noticed 'she' had self-activated a GPS beacon. He and friends were able to promptly track her down and recover her, sent her here for assistance. Roughly three weeks ago one of the techs finished his inspections and reported that her brain had been damaged as a result of blunt trauma. Now I don't think I need to tell you what happened there or who did that. But generally with repeated blunt trauma, it's rather typical for the brain to get damaged, on the newer models the brain is the most delicate part. Fortunately the newer brains are pretty modular, unlike the older ones like Tofu's where if one piece goes, pretty much the whole thing goes and you have to do a complete replacement. Basically all the secondary storage units were inoperable, even the mirrors, that's probably why she activated the beacon b'cos they can't run on RAM and cache alone forever. We upgraded and replaced them, restored from the last backup which was roughly 3-4 months old. So two weeks ago, she was all fixed up and sent back to her home area, accompanied by Rocky, a Chinchilla, who was supposed to keep an eye on her. Rocky has only given a few reports, the gist of which is that she was a bit disoriented at first but got better and seems to be out of any immediate danger. You don't have to thank me, please thank Mikey and the others like the techs b'cos I didn't have much to do with this one in actuality.

Yes last year one particular incident stands out, at one of the Otakon 'small animal meet and greet' panels, toward the end of the event an older man came up to the front of the line to pet the animals. He put his hand on the back of one of our bunnies (which was actually a male bunny btw) and you could see his eyes light up, and then as he touched the bunny's back he made a creepy laugh and drool actually started to drip out of the corner of his mouth. Then he tried to put a hand under the bunny, and our Miku had to grab his arm and pull it away. Afterwards he was upset and went away, he claimed he was just trying to pick him up to cuddle him but we were pretty sure it was more than just that going on. It was strange, even as he was escorted away by our Miku and Rin, his eyes stayed fixated on the bunny and he seemed totally oblivious to everyone and anyone else.
