It would only take a second or two and it feels like a much more pleasing way to end the game.Jonathan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293162543015231439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-50692012553015560102009-08-25T21:37:22.983+01:002009-08-25T21:37:22.983+01:00Hope it does.
