Description	Here is another very appropriate "final day of the compo" entry for CSSCGC 2008. For some reason, I just can't shake that feeling of "It's the last day, bring a toy in" that we used to get at school. Well I have to admit to laughing out loud at playing this one. I won't spoil the surprise by showing the content of the game in the screenshot, so that's just taken from the intro page. As you can see, it has the "Firelord" hallmark about it! I played this until I got up the part which is almost as tense and nerve racking as the film "Juggernaut". Kinda makes you feel like Richard Harris as you attempt to hurredly deal with a potentially disasterous hardware crisis!
Comments	This one is quite presumptive about the personal PC usage habits of CGC compo hosts and the problems they are faced with - in a most hilarious way. Even if Firelord did not write "by Firelord" on the intro screen, I could have told you on the spot this was one of his. A mischievous brand of humour prevails and Firelord's trademark INK/PAPER combinations are both on display here. You could positively cack yourself at the drama and realism conveyed as time runs low and there is real "trouble at mill". I just chuckled at the line stating "this all happened because you were viewing adult material" or something to that effect!. Verdict: Well it made me laugh and it is crap - so a reasonable score for a text-dominated effort.
