and I found out that if I hold down Ctrl+Alt and then tap the arrow keys like crazy then the cube will spin supperfast and it makes me sick, lol

<--edit-->
I tested out the "in" feature on the cube, its pretty cool, but I like it disabled better, the outside of the cube allows an image on the top and bottom of the cube, with the "in" feature enabled they don't show.

5 sides! lol
I tried 20, but it wouldn't be visible unless for if I had video of it, screenshots just made it look like a bunch of screens attached side by side

<--edit-->
You can set screensavers/video as your wallpaper, its pretty sweet:

Shh!!! Don't tell them of our interweb chat! and it was AIM, not AOL. lol

Daikatana?
Haha, wow, I actually remember that. I have Daikatana, I haven't played it in forever. I remember it actually being a decent game (probably because it was just quake 2 changed a little), but yeah, the media was right, it was a huge letdown, I was expecting it to be something insane, when it wasn't. But then a little longer down the road and Quake III comes out and makes you forget that Daikatana ever exhisted becuase Q3 was true to legend...

And I love this cube!!! and wobbly, wobbly is |337, I had something like wobbly in windows with nvidia, it let you throw windows around, but wobbly is oh so much better. This isn't a letdown at all, and wasn't overhyped. The videos all showed you what to expect, and I've gotten everything that I expected, and more, I thought that they'd build that Novell logo deep in there so you'd have to compile it from source to change it out, but no, in gconf-editor you can tell it the file address of the top and bottom images you want to use on the cube in .png and .svg format, so I used Icculus's Q3 logo.

<--Edit-->
ROFL! OMG, missed that its actually on my desktop, yeah, I got the Loki installer off of liflg.org and never got around to installing it...and I noticed that Daikatana rhymes with "Don't you wanna?"...blonde moment.
