0:00.0	Hey everyone, Andrea Renee here. I am at the preview event for Shadow of the Tomb Raider,
0:21.5	speaking with Jill Murray, the lead writer, and Daniel Shia, the game director. Thanks
0:26.4	much for chatting with me today. Thanks so much for having us. Thank you for having us. So you
0:31.2	guys are giving a lot of members of the press some lengthy hands-on time. Of course, recently,
0:36.8	you announced that you've gone gold. Congratulations. That means the game is done. Question mark. Sure.
0:45.7	Yes, it's pretty much done for sure. For those who are going to get the day one patch, we're going to,
