If you manage to complete both of these, you get...either a copy of In Cold Blood for PSX (it may take a while to get to you though,) or...my all-time respect.

So, mission one. Lately I've been getting Ice Blaster and Grandprix to do my Physics homework, but I've decided that tonight they can have a break.

So, I need you to find out at least half a page of info on what a Cats Whisker Receiver is, and what it does. For extra...brownie points, you can write it for me. It needs to be about a third of A4.

The second mission...a couple of months back now I posted a topic named something like, "Hideo Kojima is a genius!" Please look back through all the topics (you'll have to go a long way,) find the topic for me, and POP it.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

A cat's whisker reciever is used in primitive crystal radios, such as those used by people in Jersey during the German Occupation. It is a thin peice of wire, that is pressed against different parts of the quartz crystal, in order to tune in the radio. That's all I know about it sorry, but I hope it helps!!
