0:00.0 | I'm not pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time rather drive to work at home edition. |
0:06.1 | So I have a guest today, Chris Mooney, the vision lead designer of Wilde of Eldrain. So we're going to talk all about Wilde of Eldrain. |
0:14.6 | Hey, Chris. Oh. So this was your first design, first lead design. |
0:21.2 | That's right. |
0:23.2 | It was my first time leading vision design. |
0:28.0 | Okay, so let's talk about, I tell you your leading vision design. |
0:28.9 | Start there. |
0:30.0 | So what were your thoughts? |

1:25.5 | Yes, yes, absolutely. |
1:30.8 | It's not like a lottery system in general, you know, to try to line people up. And I know that talking with you beforehand, it was especially nice to have a return to, |
