I think this won't help me finding out the last 25th orb... and what does mean "I was mighty when I felt but I guard my secret well" ? :-) still wondering what is the last (hidden ?) item after the boots, hat and gloves

I am really looking forward for some control responsiveness, when will it come?

I'm not sure, it's up to Zack Black and SHFF, and least I heard things were moving along, but I wish Zack wouldn't keep saying "very soon" if it meant that it was coming "eventually"
