Everyone's worrying about belt compression, but I'm ecstatic seeing all those t-shirt packages ^^ If you're sending one to Österreich/Austria, it could be me! :D Too bad I can't ask for an autograph from Albert & co. on my box without giving away personal details :P The graphics are beautiful, a...

True, the new boiiler size did throw me off a little, but after a little tinkering I can still build the same sequential boiler setup, with a little more complexity, in the same form factor. It was a little work to quickly setup some impromptu bullet based defence ...
