This is the best description of Problem Sleuth that I have ever seen.

I can’t wait to see your review of Homestuck though – it’s insanely awesome once it gets going.

Despite your mistake this is definitely the best written review on Problem Sleuth I’ve seen (including the one Random House did). It made me want to go back and re-read it again :)

Although towards the end he outright made-up commands to conclude the story, most of those commands were suggested by readers. I find that impressive.

Anyway, Homestuck may be getting closer to its end, but it’s hard to tell. It’s already been going on for over a year. If you review that, make sure you’ve got your Flash Player updated.

(The Applegeeks review show that I’m a pretty hardcore Apple user. I got no PC’s at home; only use one at work.)
