I'm You know,

0:03.0

I'm going to Hello, everyone out there.

0:32.1

I'm taking it in.

0:33.3

I have a very important thing to talk about.

0:35.6

It came out today, literally came out today, or maybe late last night. I don't remember the exact date. It doesn't matter, doesn't care. It's maybe the most somber episode of this show we will ever have. It may be the most dower, depressing, and Jackson, I know, I know you were pulling for it, but I have to announce to the world, for those who aren't aware,

0:56.7

High Guard is officially being taken offline. No, I was so looking forward to our High Guard watch slash update this week to see where it's concurrent.

1:41.3

It has to be pretty fucking bleak for them to already call it quits on it. And not just call it quits. Like I totally get them being like, all right, clearly this isn't hitting. We're going to, you know, stop developing the game. But they've outright said, you know, we're turning off the servers on March 12th, which means that they're not making anything from this and it's actually just draining their resources

2:01.6

just to keep the servers on. I'm going to say like three, 400.
