RayChua said "I can somehow see his image of them loading up our games and projecting it onto a big screen, having the ability to look at our moves step by step from beginning to end, at the while scribbing furiously into a "Cheese Tactics" notepad" If they do it with one of my games, they'll be too busy laughing to take notes.
