IGDB API

[Jared Breland]

well, scratch that.  I took a look at the source code, saw that you 
already implemented oauth using your own client id (very handy), and 
worked my way toward obtaining an access token.  For some reason I had a 
stale one in my config.  Not sure why.  But, I updated it with the new 
one and now it's working.  Huzzah!

Thanks, Robby.  Once again, appreciate all the work you've put into this.
