Mod 2012


Mod is the offical month of Modding-Duh! So go out there and void that warrenty!


This month's zodiac symbol is the Hacker. You do not simply see things as they are and let them be. No. You have a need to truelly understand the nature of things, and to make them do the impossible. You are the one that teaches an old dog new tricks. Some people see you as destructive, but destruction and creation are but two words for the same process. You want to make the mundane trully shine and to make it reach it's full potential.
