Who is the voice in the head? Calliope? Hussie? Actually Caliborn?
Also, take a close look at the blinking red light. You should be able to see the MSPaintAdventure logo...
Spoiler
The machine is displaying a red circle around the commands, which are Caliborn's actions, and a green circle next to the summaries. The machine seems to be almost entirely red lights, with a single flashing green one.
I'm pretty sure it's Calliope, who now has the ability to Muse into Caliborn's brain.

Feels to Hussie-like for Calliope, honestly.

This narrator is kinda annoying. Kinda wish Caliborn would shoot him, too.
Hee hee ha ha
Errr... He di- *spots White Text* ... Oh...
I see what you did there.
EDIT: Comments on the 10/20 potato
Spoiler
While it's over a somewhat petty thing... Caliborn really does seem upset. I don't see him as the type to talk about his issues with, well, anyone. That he's revealing that sort of thing to Hussie is either a sign using another typing strategy really is throwing him off, or it means Hussie being in his head has a bigger effect on him than we thought. And, if you think about it, having Hussie narrating inside my head would be pretty freaky (Well, having anyone inside my head would be terrifying, but somehow Hussie seems worse than most)

Why do you think LE wants to kill Hussie?

Should this be in spoiler? idk. But really, Caliborn shot Gamzee just for being ridiculous. It's not too surprising he'd want to kill someone messing with his head, reading his thoughts, trying to control him. Assuming that person is Hussie...
EDIT: Okay, the person communicating through the tower is almost certainly Hussie. Who else would refer to Gamzee as the most important character in...? And Caliborn is growing increasingly frustrated with him.

So Caliborn wants his text to be green, like his sister's blood? Or maybe he'll sample different coloured pixels? LE's palace on the Felt (and well, the Felt) are green, his text is green, except when it's multi-coloured. Also, all-caps.
Also: Saw themes (things locked in place, playing games, Cherub facial structure resembling the Jigsaw mask), Caliborn always does things in the worst possible way, needs to find keys, LE has pool-balls for eyes...
Two of the keys are behind his eyes.
It's fun stealing other people's theories. Makes me feel smart.

Sburban Jungle is one of my favourite songs in the current soundtrack. While this is an interesting take on the song it needs quite a bit of work, as it currently stands though, it just feels like the artist simply replaced all the tunes with instrumentals without regards to what instruments harmonize well together.
Certain instruments take the melody at times when they shouldn't (the flute/clarinet sound that's everywhere is way too strong), and they often take it solo instead of as a culmination of sound which orchestra really should be.
Also, the artist missed a great opportunity for an epic build up at the start.
Good first attempt though, I've never listened to any artificial orchestration which I've thought sounded good so I'm guessing it's quite a feat to get something which works without an actual orchestra to back you up.
edit: After re-listening to the song and sampling a few of the others by the author, I think the problem is he/she chooses songs which don't have enough depth to support an orchestra (depth meaning that it feels like the artist is only using 1/4 of the orchestra at any time, maybe 1/2 when things build up) and the artist doesn't add in the extra parts which would make the entire thing feel more natural.
edit#2: More sampling seems to confirm my claim. The remixes which were based off of more 'natural' songs, with more parts and instruments (ie: not midi songs) translate much better to orchestra format.
Alright, Caliborn beating on Gamzee has ceased to be funny and is now just sad. I am now deriving my amusement from Caliborn being tortured by the music.
Also hey, apparently that radio tower thing is kinda important, if beating it with the crowbar can do what it did.

I doubt it. It's more of a fun gimmick; in the long run it would just be annoying.
Oh i wouldn't be so quick to put it past Hussie, not after the whole 'broken disk' and 'Doc Scratch' interludes at the end of episode 5
(ye gods, was the 'broken disk' thing annoying)

three kinds of screwed up sessions, null, void and dead.
Caliborn gets the rawest deal, the dead session, the extreme difficulty session game where everything is jacked up to crazy hard, with no players to help him, no way to create a new universe and basically he has to do everything himself to succeed against the most hardest things. after of course, solving a bunch of puzzles with no one but Gamzee to help.
I think we now know where all the crazy godlike power came from: Caliborn obviously succeeded, and in doing so he had to fight so hard and so much that his echeladder went through the roof, and then he god-tiered, and…then somehow became victorious at his dead session I guess.
But with no new universe to create and inhabit, whats the victory condition? escape? defeating all the challenges? did the Choice change him into Lord English?
what i want to know is where the taste for entire flippin universes came in if LE is supposed to have once been just annother mortal kid.
Previously, my theory was that LE prototyped a Universe, and has basically just been grinding mobs for loot and XP.
Now, I don't know. Probably something to do with this Bargain.

so many questions...
Its been said that by killing Calliope, Caliborn has completely stunted his emotional growth. He's trapped as an adolescent, and what's worse, and adolescent cherub, who are like, crazy violent people? His positive character traits, which is to say his peserverence and ambition will allow to take advantage of his screwed up session, which offers the hardest challenge but apparently the biggest reward. But all that's going to what's basically a crazy ultra-violent id-driven jerk-bag alien teenager.
