It reads like a daily journal - some folks might not appreciate this sort of thread until only after the program is complete and released. Great insight on game design and approaching problems as they arise. :) K...

Anyone remember the moment in 'Half Baked' when Dave Chappelle's character ran into the vault of 'medical use' weed?
