Dear Laddies and Lassies,

Me butler Samson has shown me the arts and crafts ye all have made for me pipes, and I’m astounded by the high quality of the submissions! Though I’m a wee bit sad that not every Pipe will go to a new home, the others will remain with me for the time being! Now, I have to go strangle a Leviathan to death!

Acting 101 for Spies: “Play the sniper a bit more effeminately, please.”

Nowadays, a lot of players say the disguise kit is useless, that it exists only for slipping past sentries. Poppycock, I say! These players could use a little class, I think. To use disguises effectively, one shouldn’t pop one on and hope that their foes won’t randomly shoot them, but they must act. Yes, friends, welcome to Acting 101 for spies.
