Impossible to use

Posted by: Cowabanga at Sep 25, 2009

Ok, when i saw this engine. I was very happy about it and it was something like this: OMGUOMG THIS IS AWSUM!!!!!!11
And, when i tried to install it, Ugh, don't remind me. It was like a huge unsharp needle.
And the adminstrator. Heh. He's drunk.
