  2. Wow!

    That manual was awesome!

    The whole description of the "Franklin" incident was very interesting. Awesome storyline and foreshadowing.

    I wonder why the hell they didn't listen to some of the people who were against the whole "500 years" plan.

    I mean the last guy went completely batshit crazy and killed thousands of people...

    ...and according the manual the player character has "deviant" behavior signals in his brain...

    ...Why couldn't they hook someone in every 10 years or so and have a couple guards on duty as well?

    Wow. Still an awesome setup for the game.

    You would have to be pretty damn unlucky to pick up that lottery card...
