I finished "proofreading" this and came across a few typos/mistakes here and there. I didn't start collecting them until Page 52, though, but I do know there were about 6-10 mistakes before that. So if you wanna fix those, know that they're there, but I don't feel like re-reading through those pages again to remember what they were. One thing, in general, I'd love to see added to the book would be to include each D-Mod's order number before their title. It's not a big deal, but would be a nice addition. Anyway, here's all the mistakes I found. I was quite tired when reading through several parts though, so some of them might actually just be Tim's superior English skills that I didn't catch onto.

Page 52: "If ever make another D-Mod" should be "If I ever make another D-Mod".

Page 63: "Dink has to back in time to prevent" should be "Dink has to go back in time to prevent".

Page 64: The SimonK/Gary Hertel interview included on the page is wrongly dated Oct 29th 2013, when it should be Oct 29th 2003.

Page 105: "They most success they had" should be "The most success they had".

Page 109: "The blackness progresses westward" should be "The blackness progresses eastward".

Page 160: "you could much worse" should be "you could do much worse".

Page 163: "On the one hand" should be "On one hand".

Page 177: SirCabbage's review is dated wrong. Supposed to be Mar 19th 2005, not 2013.

Page 200: "You can use the gold to purchase this an incredibly" should be "You can use the gold to purchase this incredibly".

Page 266: I'm pretty sure "but it was one hell of a lot" should be "but it was a hell of a lot", though I'm not sure in this context.

Page 270: I'm not sure what the hell happened here, but at one point it reads "Egypt"y). I don't know what the "y)" is doing there. Is it really supposed to be spelled like that because of the D-Mod, did Tim make a typo or was it an error caused when making the book. Either way, seems strange.

Page 299: The last bit of the interview with Scratcher still has the "A:" left in it, whereas it's removed everywhere else.

Page 302: "qutie simple" should be "quite simple".

Page 316: "Despite having no clue he is" should probably be "no clue who he is" or "no clue where he is". No idea what this sentence was intended to be, but it seems broken in context and is definitely missing a word inbetween.

Page 386: "Snarky dink" should be... erm, something else. It's funny, but maybe best to replace "dink" with a non forum-censory word.

Page 388: "Mean dink". See above. ^

Page 416: "Tim had spent almost 14 months, from August 17th,2013 to October 2nd,2014.". The sentence fails to mention what he had spent those 14 months on. While I'm fairly sure most people can guess it means the COTPATD project, perhaps best to include it in the sentence too. Also, the mentioned dates in that sentence look kinda ugly without a space between the date and the year. Might just be me, but think it could use some cleaning up.
