@SirSpectre: I don't blame you. I shelved it for a month after rage quitting so many times, but I did eventually put it back in and am glad I did, once you get over the unusually brutal learning curve you'll love it, I never would have thought I would.

@hazelnutman: It's a shame this happens in video games. It would be like everyone praising Warner Brothers for being so creative for coming up with Harry Potter.

@Skunky: SPOOOOON

@Cheese Addict: lol spot on

@JabbaB:maybe 8 mins for me, don't remember the last time it was an hour...ever?

@zipeater: "with a wind-up UV light bulb" emphasis on wind up.

@raymondit: the link at the bottom shows another video on the programming. and i'm sure there's a dozen plausible ways to create a device like that.
