I just realized why "it gud" responses are all over.  You can't submit 
just a thumbs up or thumbs down.  You have to put something in that 
white space. I was going to give a thumbs up to EDF 6, but I have to 
write something, that's going to take a good bit of time to write 
something substantial enough to satisfy everyone here.  I'd rather be 
playing it, or doing something else, so I'm leaving it without a 
like/dislike for now.
