BTW: I am also a witch.

Nice.

FYI, the game pictured is actually Sumotori Dreams. I first found out about it on Play This Thing! a few years ago, and I tell you I was laughing for hours. You can watch some clips of it on YouTube, but it's not quite the same as playing it, shooting cubes at a stumblebum robot and watching as he falls down and break scenery.

Also cool from a technical standpoint, as it was coded for a 96k game competition (all of the game files total less than 96k). Inside of that, they fit in the 3D lighting, physics engine, and what have you.

^wow, 96k? and I was impressed when I found out that 70s arcade games were often made with less than 20k of space.

^ To be fair, it uses a lot of OS API calls, so it sort of leans on the code inside of Windows for doing a lot of the stuff.

Anyways, 'O Brien is cool stuff. I still laugh at his trip to Finland, wherein he yells at Forss Fagerstrom to show himself.
