Maybe it's from inhaling that fog or smoke from behind the curtain!
I dealt with those fog machines this year at our yearly Haunted House benefit, and it affects your speech if you breath alot of it in!
Makes you a bit hoarse.

Thanks.
They are showing animations, now.
Well, it's offical: Dean has finally gone insane.
To be blunt, this game looks like a combination of the worst elements of the 1999-2001 games. Too complicated, too much human player, too many scoring elements.
I guess it will just take some time to get used to.
what website can I view the animation at? thx
AMS - Stuck at Circuit City
Yeah where can I find the pdf files and videos?
www.usfirst.org/robotics/doc_updt.htm for the .pdf's
I can't find a video, anyone?
