Hey, Neon, what's up? Hey, you are you are much shorter than I thought you. Yeah, and handsome. Thank you. Yeah, very much, very much.
Can I give a little description of neon POS real quick? Please. Sure. So neon POS is like a young man. He's got tech hair that's going kind of like green to blue.

And there are three people in line behind you and they all watch retro cut and stand next

The only reason to be in this line is to get some money. Well, yeah, I mean, I look, I like Eddie's just as much as
everybody else does. And I'm here in the partnership with my buddy here, Neon, and we're kind of working together. So it's kind of like a partnership working together crossover. That's why we're, you know, it's not cutting in line. We're together selling ourselves, that kind of thing. I'm sure. That. Yeah, I'm sure there's going to be like, plenty to go around, my guy. You're coming in kind of hot, so, you know, maybe just like. Wait, you seem kind of familiar. Do I?
Do I know you from somewhere? Nope, No you don't. I hate I Google search. I don't, I don't, I don't want to interrupt. I'm I'm real sorry, guys. Did did did you say we need a partner for this? Because I came alone. I I don't know if we needed someone to work with for this whole thing. No, yeah, I did too. I'm. I also need a partner apparently. Oh you? So both of you are missing partners and then. We. We. Familiar dude here also.
Nothing in the ad says we need. I mean, apparently if we get a partner we get to cut in line so so. You all can partner up together. Yeah, it seems like you 2 could be partners and then familiar guy. I don't know. I'm I'm sorry. Oh no. They're their own little menage a trois together, you know, partnership and Eddie's. Yeah, yeah, something like that. Maybe, maybe do a threesome. Thumbs up. Cool. Hey, can I get a selfie of all of us? Let's. Do something.
Let's do selfie, everybody. So he pulls out his his agent, bulbs it out, snaps a selfie and like it. It like automatically puts like his VR avatar on of the possum, possum on and just like takes a picture. Pause. I blinked during that 100%. Oh, you. Want me to do it? You want me to do one more? We can do one more here. OK. Oh, you, you blinked on this one too. Funny one. We got to do a funny one. Yeah, funny one. Let's do a funny one, everyone. Funny.
One Yeah. Blink, Blinking's funny. Blinking can be funny. Blinking, Yeah. You lost to Google something, did you know? I did. I did roll. The D10 and then add four. Yeah, I just, I, I did roll AD 10 and didn't add anything, but it was a 1, so I don't know. Oh, it implodes. It implodes. My intelligence is 6, so that is a -, 1. And that is no, because it's, it's +4 for local experts. So that's oh, oh. Yeah. So that's. You rolled a three, but it's
still a crit fail. So because it's a crit fail as you're taking the picture, you watch the picture on your device degrade and get corrupted, and unfortunately while searching the garden, you did touch a bit of it you shouldn't have. Now your phone has a little bit of malware on it. Man God I hate this shit and. Then a little window pops up and you can pay 20 eddies to get rid of it. Oh, that's cheap. In this world, that's cheap. Yeah. Can I take a look at it? Do you mind? Yeah, sure.
I slide it on safe mode real quick all. Conceal reveal object. Yeah, all the nudes are conceal, reveal object. OK, shot it got it. Concealer, reveal concealer reveal that is a healthy that's going to be what is that awareness? Yeah, that's a that's a healthy 0 for me. So let's go ahead and. Hold Yeah, you don't hide your nudes. In fact, the the unfortunate side effect of this is that the virus has put your nudes as the background of your lewds, not your nudes.
Let's not be disgusting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like it's. Like it's a lewd, it's it's a, it's a lewd of your of your avatar that made out. Fun. Just for fun, the the made out pit. Yeah, and. It's. Just super embarrassing. Oh, I thought it was just a bunch of pictures of ramen. There are I do have the ramen ones. I'm so sorry. Just just sorry I. Oh God, the thing already faked a bunch of pictures of you. I'm here. I'll get. Rid of this. That's it.
Yeah, exactly. It's already out of control. I'm so thank you so much, man. Wow. No, it happens all the time. It it's fine. I have no idea what's a role to help with this, but I do probably. Whatever you're good at. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm really good with small like gadgets. It's small tech, damn it. What is that under electronic? Security tech or basic tech, up to you. Basic, basic tech. Is that cool? Basic Tech 18 Yes.
Yes. Yes. You look at this incredibly overly accoutrement human in front of you as they pass you the device. It's got stickers all over it. The logo as you pass it near your device, the NFC on it sends their link to your phone but doesn't give you a virus so that you can watch their streams on the garden later. An absolute king of social and networking. Their networking is incredible. I love the dot exists in this universe. Of course it does. Of course it does.
And you look at them because it's not actually that difficult. And you find the control alt delete and you just close the browser and the ransomware that was running on their device has now been cleared and you hand it back. Again, happens all the time. Here you go. Oh my gosh, thank you so much. This that's amazing. Thanks man. Do hey, do you want to do you want to cut in front of us in line? That's totally cool If you want to, if you want to get in front of us, that's awesome, man.
I'm I'm neon pass by the way. Oh, Bloomin, hey, I'm I'm going to look back at at the person who already was was pretty upset. I, I'm good where I am, but I, I, I, I just yeah, I just wanted to help out that I'm really glad I could. I'll, I'll see you in there. Sorry, did you say neon? Neon Pass. Neon Pass. Yeah, man, I got a little patch, my own, my own trash patch in the garden. Oh my God, hold on. And and I dig into my pockets.
Real. Quick. And as I dig into my pockets, stuff starts kind of falling out. Coins fall, lint falls, a couple of pop cabs fall. And he and he pulls out his wallet. He ruffles through it. He's I don't need that card. And he pulls out a different card and he holds up a card right at you. And it says right there like Neon Pass fan Club member number 0007. Double O 7. Oh my gosh, man. Hey, what's up? You, you, you donate all the time. You subscribe all the time, man, I love you.
That's awesome. Hey. You have such a sick St. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm fanning myself. I'm fanning myself, OK? It's cool, man. It's cool man. Hey, you want some stickers? I put out like a bunch of stickers and buttons and oh man and hand it over. It immediately starts going on stuff. Gun's armor, He's, he's blinking up everything now. Hi, everyone. Hi. How's it going, party people?
Hey, hi. Hi. Hi. This young woman has stepped out of the building and she's staring at you all in line. She's holding a little clipboard and she's got this big old smile on her face and she's wearing this little uniform. And on a lapel is a little yellow circle which says the happy company on it. Hi, hi. Hello. Hello. Are you guys all here for the market research? Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Yes, we are. I I OK, so I know the ad said that it only pays 400, but it does actually pay 505 hundred. Yeah, I know. Here at The Happy Company, we want you to be happy. That's why I know that's kind of cringe, but I have to read the script. I like it. I like it. Be cringe, be free, you know what I'm saying? You know, it's it's it's one of those things it's going to be
really fun. So I'm going to have you guys come in. There is security here and then as you come in, I'm going to hand you all an NDA on paper. Weird, that's. Super retro. Yeah, it's very retro. It's going to be good. It's going to be good. Yeah. You have AV for a head. I do, yes. Is that a problem? Can you still do BDS? Yeah. Oh, then never mind. Then it's fine. Great. So if you guys can come on in, just follow me. Just come on in here. I opened.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone come on through. Please pay attention to the commercials on either side.
Sure. Yeah. Oh, here we go. Oh yeah. Oh. They're louder than they thought they'd be. And as you walk in, there are advertisements for some of the Happy Company's other products. Smile with miss A, hug her and she hugs you back with algorithmically accurate compliments. Musical available in stores now. Sounds reasonable. I want one coach. Having trouble with the BM? We'll try our BD balloon film and finally get your butt moving. That's something that we've been
eating for a while. A new thing the day before Christmas. The day. Before. Christmas the day before Christmas. The day before Christmas. Oh, the day before Christmas. Oh, are you looking at the Day Before Christmas commercial? Yeah, I am. Have you all signed the NDA? Well, you haven't handed it first yet. Yes, I have. I handed it to you as you came on in, Silly goose. I didn't get one. Can I please get one?
Here you go, and here's a pen for you all you can keep that has the Happy Company logo on it. Oh, thank you. Oh, you don't have a name stack? Here's a clipboard. Here's a I'm Maggie. Oh, good. Nice to meet you, Maggie. I thought you had a different name. No, I'm Maggie. Oh, I thought your name was Joy, because that's what you seem to be bringing around here. I like you. There are bonus points here, but I would give them give them to this guy.
I'm just going. To go through everyone but what was your name? Neon Pass. Bright neon. Pass. Good. Yeah, I love your signature and that's cute. Yeah. Thank you. Welcome and you. Bloomin, is it OK if I take pictures of literally everything while we're here? Not in the actual Market Reach research booth. And on Christmas Day, you can release any footage you take inside, but not inside either room A or B. OK. And they're labeled, right? I won't.
Very much. It's on the ground, big letters. It's very clean here. We like to be clean here at The Happy Company. OK, OK. Everyone I was hanging out with in line put stickers on all of their stuff and it really bothers me. But yeah, that's great Labels, OK. Nice to meet you Lumen. Again with the NDA you can't release any information till after Christmas. We good. I totally get it. This is yes, totally get. It all right and you. Vex. Nice to meet you. So how long is this going to take?
Maybe an hour. OK, just checking. I mean, or do you mean the whole side quest? Because that's probably about four or five. You're going to be the rudest way to ask, all right, how long is this going to take? We got to wrap. It up, Ryan's got. Somewhere to be. He's got a Renaissance fair to go to. We're not recording videos, so they have no idea why that's coming. I think that's better. Imagine the pirateous shirt do. It There we go. And and you? Oh, I'm Cargill Forge.
Nice to meet you. Would you prefer like 4G? Mr. Forge Cargill, what would you like to be referred to as? Cargill's fine in general, but I might be able to Mr. 4 GI think I could learn to come along but. I think that's the cute one, Mr. Forge. It is. I hope you're in Group A, I'm running with Group A. It's going to be fun. Anyway, we'll get to that in a bit. And you are Mr. TV head person. Your mouth's moving, but nothing's happening. I'm sorry I was having internal thoughts in my head.
I apologize. I put myself on mute real quick. As you can see, I've written down my my legal name Jebediah Popescu. But I have a a Nam de plume which I use for my actual name for when I'm having to do any business stuff like that which is just retro. So. You got it, Mr. Retroman. Like your jacket? Thank you. If you could all just head into the room to the South, the security is here for your protection and mine because you are just people we found on the street.
So if you don't do anything, they don't do anything. That sounds fair. Fair, Yeah. So if you make your way down there, find yourself a seat. I'm one of the sofas in here. That's a nice sofa, I expect. Thank. You. We love red. It's very seasonal. Yeah. And I think this spot next to me over here. Oh thanks man I I'm like streaming this whole thing on my phone. You signed an NDA. They said we could film in here, right? It was he.
Said that the that it couldn't go out until after Christmas. Are you streaming or you filming? That's right, I'm filming. That's right, I am filming. Concealed. Concealed. No, it didn't go well last time. My. You also have no levels in concealed reveal of. No, yeah, my my maid bits were out for. All to see. And all to see. Yeah, no filming. Thank you very much. Pissed off with just a hail of bullets. It's like, all right, let's continue.
OK everyone, I'm going to play the little video and GM side moment. We're going to have music playing in this for the final edit version, but you can just imagine it because I didn't have that. This is the best bossa Nova music to happen. Night City needs something fresh. Are you feeling down? Do you love video games? Are you festive as fuck? Yeah, we at the Happy Company, we've got something for you coming. This season is our new BD game. That just makes you feel better.
Oh game, I love games. OK, I'm going to pause the video. How do we feel about that? Everyone, raise your hand. If you're interested, raise your hand. Love video games? Pretty cool. Do we have to be festive as fuck? No, no, we're just trying to cover demographics. Are you against the project because it's festive as fuck or are you with the project because or just like agnostic? No, I I didn't know if that was the goal or I had to be right now.
No, it's more that we're trying to get people to buy it for Christmas. Oh, OK. OK, yeah, got. It. Got it. We just didn't want to mess it up. Are we asking this if we're going to be secular or religious then? It's not a religious thing, It's more are you? Are you interested in gifts? Do you like like games and feeling good about yourself? I do it now. OK. This seems positive. I'm seeing positive. And what about you?
And some other people in the room and kind of put their hands up. They are way more apathetic than you guys. They do not have protagonist energy. Do we have to be playing the game or is this like something you can give someone? You serious? What? I'm going to write that down. That's a great thing to say here. Looks really confused at this guy on one of the sofas in the front row. Someone's not getting paid. Yeah. Was that helpful? I don't know. OK. It.
Wasn't festive? Here's the here's the second video I want to show you. Here we go. Here we go that go girl, put the ball in the cup, feel good, stand near your friends and see who can do it faster for an even bigger reward. And once every single week, some player will win actual money. Not that bullshit, but actual money. All in a simple BD chip that you can play with an implant or through a device sold by us here at the Happy Company. Merry Christmas.
It's simple, it's easy guys. What do you think? Was that direct? I have, I have a question. Yeah. So this is two things. A ball. And a. Cup. Digitally, yeah. Why? Well, it's more of a game mechanic. You are you aware of video games? You you put the ball in a cup, but in your mind. And there are lots of cool
backgrounds you can unlock too. Bro you can win real money with this come on. Folks, welcome to dungeons and Randomness. Since 2012, myself and an amazing cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brew world of Theria. 4 different groups explore lost ruins, run for political office, Rage Against a mad king, set sail to long forgotten islands, and so much more.
Every group has a different story and flavor, and every season or arc has a new set of groups and stories, all building the history of our world with every single session. Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as part of the Pickaxe network. Check out Dungeons and Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you around the table. How are you? How are you not hyped about winning but real money?
I'm kind of, I'm kind of wondering how this will be in terms of like engagement, you know, with like viewers and stuff like that. If you're like streaming this or anything like that. We will have a streamer package where your audience doesn't have to be physically close to you, but you can play with each other and of course the winner of your groups. That gets to feel good. So if you're playing with someone else, do you put your
ball in their cup? No. You're racing to see who can do it first, no? OK, I have a clarification question. Sure. You said you can play with friends. Yes. Do you need those? No, it will play with anyone if I if it does not come with friends. You're chipper, aren't you? I. Sorry. You don't have to apologize. I'll shame you anyway. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding how? Are people. Feeling about this? Question Question will there be skins for the cup and balls?
That is a good will be. Skins for the cup and balls. Will you be able to have more than one ball like a pair of balls? We're thinking about that for another update, and you saw right through us that's really cool. Oh cool, I'm kind of like getting in the mindset of it. Also you said that we can win actual money. Is this like so you can win money but there's no gambling, right? We're not putting our money in you, just as the potential of winning money, no. Go gambling.
Like if I was to say buy this for my son and be like, if you want to earn an allowance, you got to play ball in the cup. Well, it's only the top five people every week. Well my son loves video games and he could he'll just probably just do that consistently. I mean all he does is just rain and dance all the time anyway. So you can you can help with rent. Yeah, so now that you've seen this, who wants to try it? Oh me, I'm an excellent ball handler. Excellent.
We love that. OK, everybody, I'm going to say let's see. OK, For Group B, let's have GAIL, Sarah, James, George and we have one person in the bathroom, so I guess they're in Group B. And then can we have for Group A Neon Lumen, Retro Cargill and? Sick. Yeah. It's in Group. Crazy. Oh, look at that. I did. I did the room. I didn't even do that. I was looking down. That's crazy. If you can follow me, Group A is going to go with me. Group B, my associate Kate is already in there.
So if you could just head on in there so Trudy could. You get the guy. From my bathroom. Yes, of course. Thank. You. All right, you, you guys just go straight in there. Right in the bee, You busy little bee. Hey, Kate. Hi, Honey. OK, you guys stay happy now. Mickey, it's it's be happy. Shut up. Oh, wait, no, we're not going in there. Sorry. Nope, you're not going in there. It's labeled. It's clearly labeled. It's. Very. I couldn't see there's, there's no stickers on it.
It's just. It's it's in a, it's in a mono mono. Color it's. Just like 1. Thing like my brain just buzzing all around it. There's no LEDs there's. No, nothing. You drink orange juice with your meds? That that's what happened this morning. Is it crazy that now that we can't go and be? All I want to know is what's happening and be. I mean, I kind of yeah, a little bit, yeah. I saw my tum in there. They did. Yeah, we I just call him Tum. Nice. OK, everybody, everyone find a seat. Nope.
Sorry for that one. You guys are. Cute, sorry you're cute as you've got such a great you just want vet retro I. Just love. Yeah, you know what, with having such a boxy head, I also have just very like a very boxy thighs. OK everyone love this stuff. In front of you just just in the little little table attached to seat is a BD unit. We have an extra wide one for UTV head and if you guys just put it on and then you'll see a ball and a cup. Now the background is in beta so it is grey.
You see a ball and cup and you just have to sink the ball into the cup. First person gets a point and the highest point winner will get an extra 50. At ease today A. Little detail. OK, OK, OK, OK. Is there anything I can do to be extra good at ball and cup? Yes. What can I do, Paris? You can bullshit your way into rolling an actual skill. Would you consider this basic tech or? If you like. I feel like you're making an exception for me because I'm a guest, but I'll take it. Thank you.
Makes sense to me. It's not the craziest one I've ever heard. So anyway, why don't you just paramedic? You. Can justify it. What about since this is like throwing a thing and like you know, having to to pick a target and get something in, Would like an aiming skill like handgun be useful? Yes. All right. I would like to do that, yeah. Yeah, whatever you want. I'm I'm just going to use my mind. Oh. That's a very good role. You did very well there. I'm. I'm good at one thing.
That's. Really good. Oh my. God. Let's go. Man. Oh, Cargill, you think I'm not going to notice that one year old earlier get messed? That was a cow. That was a cow. Hold the one. I'm not letting that pass. It's time for your nudes to show up so. Cargill. You're trying to do. You're trying. To put this ball in the cup and for the life of you it just won't go in. It hits the rim. Come on. It rolls off the.
Screen and you have to like look around the room to find it and then look at it to get it back into your view and you're having a bad point and you see the little logos of everyone else in the room go green. As long as that balls go in a cup. Lost. No, that's. Yours feeling. Retro, you're second to last with that five, unless you're waggy, you know I was. Going to ask, can I roll electronic security tech to make an analysis on the cup and the ball in the game? Roll for it.
For some reason I feel like there's carnival shenanigans here and the ball may be bigger than the cup. Oh, electronic security. 29 Yes, you look through the code and it's just a ball in the cup game. That's it. The thing that you do find weird though is that there is a large portion of allocated data missing. Petabytes and petabytes of data. Absolute Dick loads of data that's just missing from this version that that does strike you as weird.
Yes. This does distract you however, so you end up still being second to last. The others aren't paying attention to your slightly confused game Playing Vex. You rolled an 8. Yes. That is, do you want to roll a skill? No, he's purposefully sticking with just instructions right now. OK, cool. Yeah, you're you're shit. This is hard because I was doing it backwards.
They got middle of the pack. You're right in the middle of the pack, Neon. You're just about to get your ball in when the calmest and sweetest person in the room, Lumen, just gets in it. First time you're very relaxed of mine and it just and it makes a very satisfying noise, like the sound of a of a Pebble plopping into a freshly still lake. And it's just the noise that makes you feel better, but you don't feel any other effect and it gives you a point. Great.
We have our winner Lumen. Well done. That's so good. All right, everybody, Round 2GO again. OK, all right technique, I can do this. What did I just do? It's. 4. You rolled. You rolled. The worst crit fail is what you actually did. Good. I think that balances it out. All right. Oh, wow, you guys did great. Cargill. You get really excited as you're not lost. You're right in the middle of the pack. You're not lost. You get the ball in and it and
it makes the for you. It makes a guitar riff noise as it drops into the into the hole. Yeah, that's my jam. Retro yours is the sound of ACRT television turning on. That seems technologically ablest. And vex and pass. Pass. Thank you. Vex and Pass, you both get the ball in the cup at the same time. Lumen on the other hand, you've thrown it and now you can't find the ball and you walk around the you get up to try and find it, walk around the room and hit a wall and you take one HP damage.
Ow I'm so sorry did I? Did I? Did I damage? The wall you're. Talking to a wall. Oh God, OK. Don't stand up during the test. Got it. Sorry I lost the ball and I couldn't, I couldn't find it again. Is there a clap? Clap. OK, did it. Every time you clap it resets the ball to center. See how? These balls go up now. I instantly get overwhelmed when I put. In the Congress like. Oh no, there's too many balls. OK, final round, everyone roll again.
Here we go. Because I've also noticed the petabytes of data that are completely missing and I probably, I think distracted me from the last one. I realized I'm not going to win this. There's no point. Can I poke around to see what data is missing? Are there any markers, any kind of tags or something that I can know what was removed? Roll for it 26. The only thing you're that you can work out is that it's neural data. You can't neural data. Still on disk DLC.
It's 2 forms of neural data. The rest of you, though, have no idea that this is happening and everyone rolled really, really well. Really well, really well. But it's Cargill who wins this rap, yeah. Yeah. Oh, in your faces, boy, you're good. We. Have a winner. We what? One second I'm getting my headset died. That's weird. My little earpiece, my Well done. You're going to get the extra 50 eddies. Thank you so much everyone for your tests. If you just I'm going to, I'm
going to go and fix my headset. If you guys could put your things on the ground. We've got cameras recording. So just discuss amongst yourselves how the game is going and please don't take my tone as panic. I Yeah, Hey. Did any of you guys have a problem with too many balls and not enough? Cup No, no, that I didn't. I didn't have that. Did you? Was it because you hit the wall?
No, it was after the wall. The lady told me to clap and then after I got done clapping, there were just there it was. It was overwhelming honestly. There were way too many balls. Hey, do you think if you get more balls like that, you can like, you know, hack the game a little bit so you can like get a lot of chances to win? Oh, like just throw a bunch. Yeah, just like a toss a bunch, you know?
Well, if there's a command for extra balls, maybe you could get extra cups too, like a bonus round or something and you could just toss a bunch statistically, you know? You hear screaming outside and then gunshots. Shit. And then a bullet flies through the door and hits Maggie square in the back of the head and she drops the ground dead like a sack of shit. My God, I get my video camera out and I film it. What are those people? No, I do not move.
I am stock still, like a deer drinking out of a pond. Like just absolutely my body refuses to work. Shit, holy shit, holy shit. This seems normal to retro and in fact, now that Maggie's got Maggie's passed away unfortunately like, well, I guess I can just do this now. I'll pull Jay out and I'll just light it up and start smoking. I get up and try. Does the door open outwards or did the door open inwards? It's a sliding door. Is the door open right now? It is open, yes, because I yes.
So you should be able to see out the door if you move just right. Yep, but I don't want to see what's out the door. I want to move to the door and close it. Cool. So you walk up to the door, the door control is a little keypad beside it, and it's stuck open. Oh. God. Hey, who knows how to fix doors? And then more. To look down and I'm going to have, I have a big like E banner across the left forearm and I'm going to press a few buttons.
It's going to change to a bunch of angry faces like emoticons all over it. He's going to pick up, going to pick up my gun and move to the edge of the desk where the desk is between me and the door. Shit. Also Cargill for winning that you get an inspiration. I have a pretty good electronics and security tech. Do you say anything about the door being stuck open like the keypad? Yes. Hey, you, you fixed the thing earlier. Can you fix the door? I I think it'll be it.
Just 1000 yard stare for a second, huh? Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that door bulletproof, do you think? Probably not. I hope so. Wait, hold on. Just shoot, I was going. To have, hold on, I'm going to have the, we, we've heard the, we've heard the sound of this gun a couple of times, I think, right? Yep. I'd like to use a weapons tech to be able to see if I can determine the sound of the firearm. Fuck. Oh no, it's a heavy SMG.
Oh no. Yeah, that's somewhat worrisome. That's a lot of bullets. It's a lot of bullets. Well, let's hopefully get this door shut. Maybe. Unfortunately the the crazy guy in the hallway just rolled a crit success with his gun and as he blazes his gun across the room, this heavy SMG. He hits the other side of the door control and it frazzles and then shocks you. Cargo standing right next to it forces you back a step, you lose 2 HP and it stings hell either.
Oh. We're going to shake that up. I got to shake that up. Oh. Wow. Geez. Oh shit. That's a little bad with mentally it's more than 50 eddies. Motherfuckers. What the what the what the fuck do we do? Retro? What's going? What the fuck? This is really going to affect us getting paid today, isn't it? Well, for initiative. Do you guys think the NDA still counts? Can I film? Can I just take pictures? Next time on no latency side quest let's. Get messy tune.
Is there a clear shot around this hostage? There's one outside looking right at our gunman. Neon pass New Tumblr when we get it. We'd hot lad. Oh no. Yeah, I saw. It everybody at Cargill. Cover me, I got to get this fixed. I saw it. It did happen. Because like that first person shooter, remember how much it took you to finally get on the boards and you finally got bronze rank. Yeah, yeah. Ohh no. I'll take the first one this time if you don't mind. Well, there's that.
Missing data welcome. Home, yes. You call atrocity, I call tactics. But I'd rather not have a bunch of stick. Guys fan, I swear I won't ban, you know, time you all out. Trying to whack them right in the. Head I enforce the Ndas and then I shoot. Nice. Oh, we're getting we're, we're close to that Tumblr chat. Before we go poking the bear if we got paid yet, it's if we check to see if we've got our eddies. Can you pick that up and shoot
them already? I. Really don't want to pick up that gun man I'm sorry. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at No Latency. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter at No Latency Pod. Check out our website at
