Hey folks! This week we're taking a little break to gear up for the holiday season.

Still Buffering, The Adventure Zone, and so many others.

Yeah, you're a superhero, I think. I'm a superhero, and anesthesia doesn't work on me,

so they just kept going. They just kept popping up with more needles, like,

and I'd be like, I can still feel everything, so it was unpleasant, and so they,
