Simmer Down Sprinter, a new arcade-like game was bought to life by Steve Lambert and others.(check link)

The game accepts quarters and uses bio-feedback sensors to tell how relaxed you are, and is a game of relaxation!

the more relaxed you are the faster your character moves around the track.

so if your the type to get excited at winning or at losing, this game might not be for you.

it also has a <a href="http://visitsteve.com/making-of-simmer-down/" target="_blank">make-log<a/>!

You mean people actually visit the front page? Most of us just come straight to the forum.

They do visit the main page, by the 10's of thousands. Though, yea, most of the regular forum rats like myself come straight to the forum via bookmarks, etc.

I always get here by going to the front page via byoac.com, then clicking message board. I looked up that URL on one of those sites that can give you the daily traffic of a website, and it claims byoac.com is used as a url less than 10 times per day. I must be the only one who does this...

if in class I'll type byoac.com to hit the main page in order to get to the forums, much quicker than arcadecontrols.com

I can confirm news submission is broken.  I am trying to submit some news stories, and I get the same errors as ryantheleach.
