Nobody Knows About the Snow South of Glasgow.

For years now in Britain, whenever we get snow it has not settled. If it has settled, it has simply been half-hearted snow that doesn't stick together.
TODAY IS A DIFFERENT DAY

If you don't see me, Kaede, Pyru, TJD, and Infini today, you know why. Maybe not Infini. He'll be doing cohdan to make an Autobot snowman or some !@#$%. I made a snowman, and it froze since it was so cold. It became an ice man. I secretly call it Chuck Lidell, because no-one else knows about him except my uncle ;_;
Digital Genocide.

Well I was writing a front end website for my file server today. Started writing the "delete" function, and guess what :D? By accident I forgot not to delete the "." and ".." folders when removing folder trees, if your a programmer you can probably guess what that means. I accidently deleted about 1TB's worth of data, some of it incredibly rare, built up over a few years.
Trying some unerase wizards at the moment, see if I can get anything back.
You guys ever had any faceplam moments like that?
Speculation Encountered.

So... anyone want to attempt to figure out what it means?
Weekly Awards (WA2)
Engine of the Week
Theforeshadower's Resident Evil 2D Engine
http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=32470.0
Bah, I lost my actual current version of this game I was working on.
I don't want to let everything go to waste so here. You guys can have, mess with, or do whatever with this. I made all the graphics except for the image used in the title screen.
Have fun with it.

Audio of the Week
D-Pad's Overworld Theme
http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=32419.0
Didn't know what to call this -- I'm pretty bad at naming things (my dog's name is Zelda[though now I couldn't imagine calling her anything else]) -- but never-the-less, hvae a listen:
To the Hero of Hyrule: A Tribute (http://www.badongo.com/audio/12320960)
It combines an original theme with some from Ocarina of Time. It sounds like you're traversing the same path as the old hero. Enjoy!

Big Question (BQ2)
Last week's question: Do you prefer comprehensive, big tutorials/engines or simple, focused tutorials/engines for helping you with game development?
Summary of answers: Most users favor large comprehensive tutorials. Bigger is apparently better.
This week's question: For students with finals, does being here conflict with the studying you should be doing?
