With the risk of also posting something old in internet time this far beats some flautist and had my jaw dropped for the full eight minutes.
Okay, since the 2009 games thread seems to have been hijacked, I'll post my thoughts on Crayon Physics Deluxe here 
So, it was a quite enjoyable game, although not overly long (took me about 3 hours). It reminds me of World of Goo in many aspects, however WoG has perhaps a slightly better presentation and more variety. CPD on the other hand compensates simply because of how much freedom it gives you as you can solve the puzzles anyway you like. The level seems too easy? "oohh, I wonder if I can build a catapult that send the ball bouncing off this wall here *draws wall* into this seesaw *draws seesaw* and then... what was I supposed to be doing again?"

So, I was having problems with the computer not wanting to shut down or restart (hdd's powered down/off). I decided to pull out my 2 year old never been used psu and see if that was part of the problem. I had thought it was memory, but switching out in various ways didn't fix it. Anyway, got the "new" psu hooked up and uh oh, wouldn't boot. Kept getting stuck somewhere in the POST.
So, got out my handy dandy manual and checked the code (led on board). Hmm, that code isn't even in the manual. O_O Tinkered around for a while and it occurred to me that I should try and replace the sata cables one by one instead of just making sure they're all seated. Bingo, first cable was bad. Good thing I have tons of spares. I thought it might even be the cpu at one point (had to remove the gigantic heatsink to get the old psu out, new psu in).
PC boots, but then tells me my RAID array is "offline". Holy%#$@moment
Did I just kill a HDD?!?!? Thought some more, weighed possible options. Can't reinstall cause I don't have the proper raid disk. or do I? I can't be sure. Then the wife comes in, "did you check to make sure they were all plugged in?" Wha? Of cour, hmm, let me follow the cables... (had re-tested the old psu and then changed back to new again just before). D'oh! The cable was plugged into the hdd and a fan, but the end that was supposed to go in the psu was plugged into another fan. Stupid modular cables.
>_>
<_<
Array "functional'. Phew.
