The 9th Molehole

the mindlab, ,

So we aren’t quite 10 yet, and we aren’t even really 9. Protozoic will be 9 in September.

Nonetheless, it is Jan. 1st, 2013, the Mayans were off, and I want 2013 to be a triumphant year for Protozoic.

So without further ado, here is Protozoic’s resolution for 2013: more posts. The inter-web RPG game alone will surely generate fodder.

Enter the 9th Molehole.
