  5. What has WILL been up to?

    Well it's been a while since I've posted a blog so I figured I'd let everyone in on some of the things I've been doing with my free time. I of course have been working on my Subject 33 game once again, which I've been trying to get working on the latest version of Lazarus for Mac OS X.
