[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 8330590, member: 63"] "It was the year 2021. Russell Morrissey, a humble website owner and game publisher, had just realized that red things go faster than blue things, so he painted the front of a rocket red, and the back of it blue. The front would keep accelerating, out of a desire to go faster than the back half, but since they were connected that could never happen.

Russ named the rocket [I]LevelUp[/I], which made sense to him but turned out to be kind of hard to search for in Google.
