goin forward we gotta plan stuff out like this BEFORE we decide on the
milestone cause now this thing has a snowboarding minigame?
thats way out of the scopre of what we were talking about before for this
area :/
its only a problem cause, i thought i had a good idea of the tech we'd need
and was working towards that, but now this comes outa no where and is going
to be a lot of work it really throws things off.
