- Corn, what the fuck do you think you're saying here?! A lot of games are
- PROGRAMMED to be NON-multitasking. Why else do you think they're
- non-multitasking games?! Because the games itself wanted to be like that?!
- Oh no, wait, it's the infamous 'diasble-multitasking-virus'. Get a life
- Corn! I can also play a lot of games, while multitasking. Guess these games
- didn't suffrer from that virus. Someone has a viruskiller so I can play
- Super Stardust while multitasking?!
