And I accidentally clicked the 'post comment' button twice, which is the only reason this post is here. (It originally duplicated the one above. Sorry.

Just confirming that you are correct. The game is called Brain Cramp.

Good stuff, good stuff, as usual Murph. Trouser soggying goodness all around. I know for sure that I'll be checking out Judith. I'm into the storytelling games I am.

I'm not sure what it is that everyone dislikes so much, I rather think it's an improvement. Not that I disliked the orange, there was just so much of it, you know?

The contrast on the new design does seem to be a bit strong, perhaps even headache inducing for some. Overall the new design isn't makin' my trousers soggy or anything, but I'm still diggin' it just the same. It feels more like the overall design  could be changed more often this way. I rather like web sites that change their look, without changing the overall layout, fairly often. Keeps things interesting.

That's going too f***ing far! The ESRB should have absolutely no say, whatsoever, in the content of games and/or their respective marketing materials. The only power they should have is to rate the game! That's it, finito, or finite, or however it's spelled/said.

Now, I am aware that this would still, indirectly, give them power over the content of a game...'cause this happens already when the ESRB slaps a game with an Adults Only rating unless the developer removes the 'offending' content to get a lower rating. I'm aware of that, but that's not my point, it's simply a can't-be-helped side effect of giving anyone the power to apply ratings. My point is that giving the ESRB the power to tell Valve that it can't use certain marketing material is absolutely unconscionable, and unacceptable.

Though, I guess Valve is okay with it since they changed it...pansies...

You know, my trousers got all kinds of soggy when I saw that Transformers USB key. Now they're absolutely flooded. This is WAY cooler than the Transformers key. This is the veritable epitome of one object being cooler than another. 'nuf said.

The degree of sogginess to which my trousers are being subjected is just downright obscene. It's not the Constructicons, but that Blaster USB hub is very close (in appearance anyway) to my idea of having all six Constructicons combine to form a fully functional netbook. Awesome.

Trousers...getting...soggy...must...buy...awesomely...awesome...Transformer...USB...key...

How about a full line of Constructicons where combining all six forms a full netbook?

I forgot to also mention that my system is a Dell Dimension 3000 (seriously, I didn't know any better back then), so my upgrading options are severely limited (I mean, they (Dell) went so far as to remove the AGP port on the motherboard! Who f-ing does that??!? I can't solder, so I can't fix it (and, again, back then I didn't even know what an AGP port was *shame*) so I'm stuck with a PCI graphics card (Diablotek GeForce FX 5500...I still didn't know better, sorry). Still, the machine works quite well (I've never experienced a crash of any sort that wasn't my own doing), and I've been using it to learn more about PCs (I just love messing with shite in my tower) by exploring and upgrading what I can (maxing out the RAM, expanding storage from 80GB to 830GB, setting up a dual-boot with Windows 7 and XP(Home, not Pro *sniff*), and just generally experimenting as much as I can).

 It wasn't until I bought a book put out my MxPC called something like: "How to Build Your Dream PC" (I think it's Will Smith that has the author credit) that I learned the folly of my thinking thinking my machine was remotely powerful (ignorance is bliss and all that). I got that book along with another put out by MxPC (which I'd sadly never heard of until I found these books at a bargain book store) that was a Buyers Guide for 2005 I think, which, though outdated at the time I bought it, was still supremely useful in teaching me what to look for in PC parts, all I ahd to do from there was keep up to speed on current gear (which MxPC is terribly helpful with).

All this means two simple things:

1. my computer sucks, but at least it's functional (and not too shabby in gaming, so long as I don't want to play anything too new (it rocks in Doom 3 though, and is at least playable in Far Cry).

2. MxPC has shown me the folly of my ways and my thinking and bestowed unto me Holy Geeky Spirit (at least enough for me to become an aspiring geek at least...hey, man, I'm poor, cut me some slack).

Oh, and they taught me how to do things with a simple USB flash drive that gets my trousers all soggy.

Sadly, as I sit here typing this (completely devoid of any sogginess in my trousers), I'm still "rockin'" my Pentium 4 Prescott :-( . I didn't know any better back when I bought it, but MxPC has shown me the way...now if only there was anything in my wallet to do something about it...*sniff*
