When using a tenth blue lawn dart against VILLAIN:
Your considering hurling your dart at V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s shields...

I recommend changing that to "You're considering" or, to match the verb tense of the other combat messages, "You consider".

Fixed, thanks!

All of these are thanks to the wonderful Hoy*.

The message when looking at VILLAINCPU collections is missing a "was":
"[...] Central Processing Unit pulled from the Variable Input Limitless Logic Something Something.[...]"

VILLAIN's shield message should use "An" when no darts have been used:
"A interlocking array of shields [...]"

One of VILLAIN's miss message misspells hex:
"It tries to convert you to hext[...]" --This one is fixed

In the Vault, leagues' should be singular:
"This room contains the rewards of your leagues' efforts [...]"

The item is called "blue lawn dart", but in the Records, it's called:
"Blue Data Darts"

Fixed these up, thanks! The darts one will be changed in all new logs.

The orwhal levels its horn at you, shooting a single massive fireball in your direction. If the 154 (fire) damage is any indication, you made it angry.
Since the foe is presented as a she I suppose these aren't right ;)

edit:

also
The orwhal turns towards you, flames coruscating from its horn and enveloping you. It's as scalding as this description is verbose, dealing you 184 (fire) damage.

LI Inc. Headquarters
It's been a while since any new business opened in downtown Twilight, particularly one big enough to need several towers. Knowing the city's luck, it'll be an arm of some vast criminal conspiracy.

You make your way to the lobby and through its forest of floor-length banners. Each one advertises a different computer, but nothing better than you could build and nothing cheaper than a new Lexura.

LI Inc. Headquarters
It's been a while since any new business opened in downtown Twilight, particularly one big enough to need several towers. It's a shame that this one turned out to be behind releasing a rogue program and almost destroying the city.

Deep in the empty hall, you find a downcast receptionist. "Well, they say that every cloud has a silver lining. Everyone else in LI Inc. got arrested... but, hey, now I'm my own boss."

"At least with the help of heroes like your League, we were able to capture the copies of VILLAIN that got loose."

Back to downtown Twilight.
Back to the main map.
Fixed, thanks.

When consuming multiple gelts:

Naw, I think that's fine. "Circuitboard" as in a material rather than "a circuitboard," but maybe I'm crazy. -Kinak

Erm, problem is that in the single consume message they're 2 words, or at least they were when I posted this here, let me know what you decide.

In any case, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/circuitboard?s=t

Errrrr... derp. Fixed as all one word, thanks.

If you catalyze and it triggers during training at camp camping camp, there's no space or line break between the catalyze messages and the training messages.

hyper-c, drop single use:
You place the drops of hypercaffeine on your tongue. In the age-old battle between "tastes great" and "less filling" this particular beverage is solidly on the side of "less filling." Though since it's a single drop, that's not terribly surprising.

You boot up the autolumberjack. He's pretty old, so his "boot up" involves an actually boot.

The combat message at the beginning of the fight, after using a deja voodoo doll:

After having used Water Boy's Call:
You ask your unspeakable friend to carry you into battle once again. Thankfully all Water Boy products come with an English to Squamous Horror From Beyond The Stars phrase book.you slide in close to your opponent and slash quickly with your blade, hitting for 243 + 344 damage.
Got some message interaction issues.

When using the cosmic jester tuned to acid:

Kyoami burns your opponent with a caustic wit 17 (acid) damage.

Seems there should be a "for" in there or something. Not sure if the other elements need prepositions or not.

Fixed that up, thanks! And the others look good.

One of the thin blue mole's miss messages:
The mole calls up some of his friends from the academy. The mole who makes the funny noises with is kind of funny, but none of them seem very dangerous.

Either the word "with" should be removed, or something is missing between those two highlighted words.

Sorry, but that thin blue mole miss message looks like it still needs some work:
The mole who makes the funny noises which is kind of funny, but none of them seem very dangerous.

Maybe the "which" should be removed?

One of the Red Mole's hit messages:
The mole goes down the list it has its hands, calling friends until there are enough to beat you up.
Is that missing at "in"?
EDIT: Now that I think about it, maybe you should shorten it to "its list".

Here's one from the wiki that I haven't been able to verify yet:
The mole tries to stab you in the bank, but you're on to him.
