Just as a matter of record, I'm with George B. Parker on this one: games should be fun.

I imagine it'll be next week. Or, alternatively, whenever the Supreme Chicken deems it ready. [Assuming the Supreme Chicken has a job on the Extra Credits team, that is; it is a bird, so might not get on very well with Zoey the Cat.]
