Add an option that would allow TT to perform better on underpowered PCs. Potential features of this mode include:

* Disable head bob on awesome
* Awesomes would either have no visual appearance, or avatars may change color to indicate awesome/lame.
* Simple avatar mode
* Everyone goes ginger (or uses another single avatar)
* Disable chat bubbles on the dance floor.
* Chat would only take place in the chat pane.
* Empty dance floor
* Only render the DJs and the DJ booth.

For the super daring implementation, text adventure mode!
* Black background, white text.
* Pseudo CLI input.
* Basic commands such as: djs (lists djs), look at room (current room info), look at (user info), look at decks (lists current DJs, song info (current song ID3 info), etc.
* Chat by typing "say "
* Have north, south, east, west map to other rooms.
* Travel between rooms by typing "go north", etc.
* I don't actually think this is a great idea, but it is funny.
