Curious tho how it is a democratically controlled precinct that the suspect recount is going on. To be fair, democratic precincts typically have higher populations, which means more voters, which means more can go wrong.

Good D1 and D2 Test Levels?

Anyone know of any D1 or D2 levels that use a bunch of different features? (eg. all the different textures, various different orientations of textures and texture combinations, all the different walls, doors, powerups etc.)

Pluto and Charon act almost like a binary pair instead of planet and orbiting moon. In a binary pair, the rules are that the center of gravity must reside in one of them and the one that has it is the Planet and the other would be its moon. This applys to Jupiter, Saturn, etc, etc. Actually, in the ...
