Might just be me but the Wil Wheaton reference is really jarring. I know I can just edit the cfg, but having to take an extra step to keep the immersion is a bit irritating.

In the example for the tile scanner, how would I go about making it scan in a spiral? Have it scan for n tiles on the x-axis, then n tiles on the y axis, then -(n+1) on x, etc?
