Creepy Beginning is Creepy

Just played less than a hour of Alice -- I put it on at 2:07, and then around 2:40 the graphics started stuttering. Perhaps I should have played more, see if a shutdown would have occurred (we're trying to find out what's doing this -- it seems to be a "something's overheating" issue, as the patch of computer near the vents gets hot during Alice), but I didn't want to risk it happening during an autosave and screwing my game up. I'll run a virus scan later and see if THAT shuts it down. For now:

So yeah, hopefully that's the creepiest part of the game out of the way. Euuuughhh. . . . Now to run Kaspersky and take a shower -- I'm all sticky from our walk.
