I'm guessing that laptop was crunching? Appropriate to have the flames then.

Regrettably not--it's a 1.4GHz C2D with a partially-broken fan. Temps are an issue as-is, so I don't want to burn out the fan completely

But I've acquired another i5, so we can call ourselves even, right?

I was going to go for MC Hammer, but couldn't find one that looked good enough. I'm not sure what game that's from, but I think it's a Konami game.
