novelty rap songs haven't been funny for a long, long time - much less those about prototypically geeky topics.

anyone else really sick of posts about "[old game/game system] replicated using HTML5"? make something new and worthwhile rather than pandering to geeks for a change

also - when you go over capacity I'd take out the cutesy "tired" explanation and just lay the blame on Twitter straight away.

this is pretty good - it could do w/ being a lot faster, and I think describing it as "fun" is a bad idea, but I used it.
