This friend of mine (call him “Steam”) wakes me up this morning and says, “psst, buddy… I wanna show you something”. Looking skeptical, I follow him through some strange lights and end up in a creepy place called “City 17″.

Damn, it looks amazing here — maybe the ATI card pays off after all I think to myself… next thing you know I’m being told to pick up trash by some rather brutish looking thugs with masks on.–

I’m still trying to figure out where exactly city 17 is… but (oh great) they’re after me now — shooting. I end up meeting a friendly scientist with glasses that actually refract (must be far sighted from the looks of things)… “sorry dude, I didn’t hear what you said… I was too busy looking at all the refracting surfaces in this place”…

Then all of the sudden!!! ACKKK!!!!! arrgggsh~! I’m yanked back through the portal by a horrible creeping monster named “work”.

Maybe I’ll go back to city 17 tonight when I beat this “level”.
