It's just me While me and the dog the dogs over there So, yes, if you were hoping if you were hoping to That there would be like a party or something and hoping for like MST 3k like banter Unfortunately is just me. So I will just do the best do the best we can Oh MC DJ AC DC I did in fact check to see if anybody would deliver and nobody around here At least right now is doing delivery. Believe me. I checked I checked But no actually getting getting Replacements getting reinforcements would require me to get in my car and drive and Get out of my car and walk in someplace and it's really cold. It's it's really quite cold outside. So I'm just I'm sticking with this here We just we work with what we got we just do the best with with what we can Leah wants to be Tom servo. That's fine. I'll be crow Yes, it's for Cobra Island at least it's 50 minutes until 2021 for me, it's a little bit longer than that but We'll try I'll try to keep An eye on on the clock So when it hits midnight Eastern time, I'll try to say happy New Year to everyone in the eastern US time zone as it becomes New Year's for you. So Yes Get out of my dreams and into my beer That's that's that's a clever take on that song What are we talking about now you can call me Al Okay, we've gone we've gone into a Musical tangent, but that's that does perfectly fine. I don't forget to say Jumanji Yeah, so Let's see when when are we gonna get started is it time to open this The other one is up there on the shelf. Let me go get the other Cobra commander. I'll be right back Get the other Cobra commander. I'm gonna set it right here on this thing right here So I can have it handy and we can compare and contrast with the regal version, which By all accounts is the same figure just with some different colors. I'll be right back Time out one second Okay, there is my Classified Cobra commander I have him in this pose where he's got the The sword over his head and he's got his hands kind of in the the the world is mine pose So I'm gonna just gonna set him over here and And When we open this guy We will we'll just show them side by side and see which one we like see which one we like better Cobra Island says it's 48 minutes until 2021 in In Virginia Hello, Virginia from the United States Yes, so There's there are these things called time zones and I'm against them. I don't like them this whole idea of time zones I just think should be abolished so I'm I'm all for abolishing time zones. Why does it have to be a different time? You know at different parts of the planet. It's just just be the same time. It should just be one time And yes, I know I know the planet Is round. I know it's a globe. I'm not a flat earth or But I'm just saying okay, so maybe Maybe 12 o'clock here is in the middle of the day and you know over that way 12 o'clock is You know towards the end of the day. Well, it's fine. You know, you just have the sun is in a different Place, you know depending on, you know, what time of the day is but just make it all one time zone I'm opposed to time zones is what I'm saying all right comic tropes has Revealed himself as a flat earth or it is kind of funny. I had a conversation about the flat earthers today at work Yeah, anyway, all right, so sorry tangent there But anyway, that will be my undying mission for 2021 is to abolish all time zones. I'm sure you join me in this quest anyway So let's Let's I'm going to Where is the tape going to cut the tape on this guy and we are about Hello t-zone 1205. How do you do? Hello Cobra Lang a happy new year. It's 11 there, which means that you are That's not east your your your east of me So we'll try to remember to observe the new year for the eastern time zone folks anyway Flat earth society has members all over the globe. That's true. That's actually true So, let's let's just dive right in And let's open regal Cobra commander here trying to not get so much glare. There we go and And see how it compares With the standard with the standard Cobra commander. I'm sliding This out of the box All right, I'm gonna have to pop this out of the Packaging the blister is any of this tape in don't need to cut any tape No, nothing's taped in Pops right out Pops right out Happy new year, Australia. All right. So all right. We have him out There is regal Cobra commander with all of his gold And there's his The The world is mine So, let's just do a quick side-by-side of the two figures since they have them out here Let me put his arm down so Here are the two side-by-side. This is the oops. Sorry. This is the standard release this is the recolored regal version and And there we go That's the back. That's the front. So I don't know. How do you feel about it? Which do you prefer? I can see good things in about each and I Don't know. I kind of I think I'm At first glance I Think I like the Standard release a bit better. I just I think I just like the colors better But I will say the recolored version It has a lighter blue that is more reminiscent of The vintage version one figure Whereas this is this is darker, but I think I like the darker. I Think I like the darker one Now with the recolor His boots look more like cowboy boots. I never really noticed that with the The standard issue But yeah, you the the with the gold paint the those pointed toes really really stand out Yeah, he looks like he's wearing cowboy boots there Anyway, so there's that let me get the accessories out. Let's get the accessories out Songcrafter, how do you do welcome and happy New Year New Hampshire? Again, I am gonna try to pay attention to 11 in fact hold on a second Alexa set alarm for 11 o'clock this evening. Okay, so Alexa will remind us when it is New Year's Eve on the east coast So we won't miss it. Let's pop this out All right, I'm getting the accessories out of the thing right here talk amongst yourselves There we go. All right So he includes this this sword and It has like red on it. That's this is supposed to be a bloody sword I'm not really sure. I think it's supposed to be a bloody sword, but it is in gold whereas the original release had this at least the blade was silver the The Cobra head handle is still Gold now that I do like the the Cobra head handle. That's that's pretty cool, but we have a Gold sword with a red blade So yeah, there you go, that's one accessory the other accessory is there's a gold sort of steampunk looking pistol It's very get it close it's very intricate, but The first time I saw it I thought it looked like a fish as Like why does why does Cobra commander have a fish? Why is he trying to shoot a fish at us? Yeah Yes 2020 is now 21 so now it can drink. That's a good point. Yes Snake skin boots. Yeah So so those are the main accessories the other Oh, there it is almost lost it the other accessories are alternate hands Hang on folks So you you can replace these are I think there's a both Now there's a right in the left hand, so you should be able to pull off say the right hand here like so Pull off the right hand and replace it With this one There we go. All right. See and now he can be like my finger points My finger points. There you go Look here He's making his point you see you're making his point So that is well, let's pull off. Let's pull the the other alternative is for the Yeah for the left hand is a fist So let's pull off the Claw hand It's the claw Let's pull off the claw hand and and put on the fist hand Carefully because I'm trying not to break it. There we go So now he's got now. He's now. He's ready to fight now. He's ready to box He's ready to take on Apollo Creed or Ivan Drago Is Got his fist hand So that's it so so now Opinions if you please Original or repaint what which do we prefer? I'm sticking with the original. I think I Think I still like that one But there are some aspects of the repaint that I like as well I Like the lighter blue and the gold is fine Maybe a bit too much especially on the boots but But I do like that the blue is reminiscent of the of The vintage version one figure. So yeah, there you go. So that was that Once again one more time Side-by-side. All right So that let me put this back in The package so I don't Lose this stuff. It's got some really tiny parts these hands these alternate hands are quite small and Are ready to be lost so Carefully put these back How we doing? Songcrafters says life and both Trying to pick your favorite child. Well, that's fair. That's fair Let's see. Let's put this back Give me one moment. I gotta I gotta put everything back or else it'll get lost Steve says the dark version Yeah, I think I think most folks are are sticking with Are sticking with the the original and I don't I don't dislike I don't dislike this version. It's fine But you know one thing that The original has that the this doesn't have It has the red stripes down his legs just like The vintage figure the vintage. Well, at least the vintage figure had the stripe down one leg but that I like that that's a Callback to the vintage original original Okay Put those back. Let's see here. This is this is fun, isn't it? This is what you all tuned in for right as to watch a guy put stuff back in a box Hang on I'll be done in a minute. It's Billy There we go. Hello photo Viber didn't see you come in. Hello. Hello and welcome There we go.

It's not bad This is Operation Dragonfire by William Snow and Now for those who haven't done this before I have to explain how this works, okay This this is a find your fate book Which means at the end of certain pages is gonna give us options we'll have to choose between two options, right and I will tell you what the options are and I'll tell you the page numbers that are you know, we get to choose from and You vote for which Page you want to turn to in the book and I will look at the votes and completely unscientifically I will Tally the votes and in page 12 might be an option. It might be an option. We'll have to see I Will completely unscientifically tally the votes and guess at which one has the most and We'll go to that page and We will attempt To not die and actually complete the mission now on the last one last time we did this We got pretty far But in fact we perished we died in the desert Well, this is a different story. We got a different We got a whole new shot at it So is everybody clear on how it works everybody understand how we're working here So and I'm drinking beer, so I'm going to belch through a reading of this book. So I will read until Until we get to a page with an option on it And then I will give you a chance to decide Which Sorry, I'm getting a sneak preview here Which option to choose okay ready? Ready ready ready ready here we go All right Move my beer out of the way, so I don't knock it over All right page one Good place to start page one You are in the monitoring room of the pit the underground Command Center of the GI Joe team on the computer screen in front of you is a satellite display of the United States Suddenly the warning panel lights up the geokinetic sensor is flashing red alert Man, I hate it when the geokinetic sensor starts flashing red alert Quickly you hit a few keys and zero in on the hot spot According to the central computer a large part of South Dakota has just been blown up. They blew up South Dakota Like a large part of it The inches look look maybe we don't need to two Dakotas But we have two Dakotas and that doesn't mean you can go and blow up one of them Okay, that's not that's that is not acceptable I mean that Immediately you learn alert hawk your commanding officer and leader of the team You give him a quick rundown on the situation collect all available data He orders and meet me in the briefing room in five minutes Back at your station. You start punching away at the computer keyboard It's plain to everyone in the monitoring room that this is not a Simulation or a test. This is the real thing. They really blew up one of the Dakotas I forget which one already Back at your station, okay, sorry, I read that I already read that paragraph Behind you the high-speed computer spits out readings from the blast site as the machine chatters away You prepare yourself for action the training for the Gia for the Joe team was intense So even though somebody has just turned up the flame in the Dakotas, you know, you can stand the heat You're ready for anything when the print it out is finished You fold it over your arm and hop in the elevator down to level four turn to page two Page two When you reach the briefing room you find a GI Joe team already assembled hawk introduces each member and details His or her military specialty to his right is Duke an airborne infantryman and acting first sergeant Next is lady J covert operations expert with a specialty in intelligence rock-and-roll is a rock steady infantryman Bazooka is a missile specialist and barbecue is a firefighter Leaning against the back wall are thunder an artillery specialist and roadblock the heavy machine gunner You are introduced as spider an electronics expert and a skilled martial artist who has trained with snake eyes The hand-to-hand combat instructor of the Joe team. So our codename this time is spider That's our codename spider. It's a lot better than the last one. I this I this is okay I don't mean mine being called. What was the one last time dog here? We were called dog here, I think oh, hello Sean Beckett nice to see you And Bob's dungeon. How do you and Tony Jackson? Hi. Hello to everyone that I didn't see come in Sorry, it's harder for me to read this while I'm reading a book sir Reginald meowington Hello Virginia in West Virginia. Yeah, yes, we we do have two Virginias as well So anyway, we got Where were we Okay, here we go. Sorry resuming. I'm resuming, but we're called spider. Okay This says hawk abruptly is the situation He activates a satellite film on a wall-sized monitor the black Hills of South Dakota become come into view You all watch as the hills are ripped apart and a deep gash is opened in the earth as You can see hawk continues our country has absorbed an attack by some explosive power But the source is unknown We're already we already have advanced intelligence reports, but they offer no explanation for the maximum duty access surface For the maximum duty access surface at the center of the blast site What I'm sorry. I just read that sentence twice and it still doesn't make sense to me You turn to the guy next to you and ask What's he talking about? That's what I'm asking. What's he talking about? page three That means there's a road leading into the blast site rock-and-roll whispers and no one knows how it got there There's a road going to the blast site that is pretty weird This is the work of the international terrorist grouped Cobra Hawk continues our mission is simple. We investigate the area around the blast site We uncover the Cobra plot then we take the necessary steps to foil the plot. Are there any questions? The room is silent Alright check over your gear. We lift off at 0600 hours as the team or members start to file out of the room Hawk calls out spiders. It has the latest technical technical printouts I want everyone to pick up a copy and study the data Roadblock groans. Hey thunder pick up a copy for me. All right. I I've got to go clean my weapon He's gonna really got to go clean his weapon reading technical reports is not very popular with some among the team They really would rather clean their weapons page 10 All right, and at the at the end of at the bottom of page 10 We have Choices okay, we have to make some choices at the bottom of page 10. Okay. All right ready everybody ready, okay? At 0600 sharp the GI Joe team lifts off a few hours later The C-130 transport plane touches down at an abandoned airstrip in the hills of South Dakota You climb into the lead Jeep with Hawk but barbecue and Lady J And rumble down a barren dirt road to the edge of the blast site The other Jeeps follow you're not going to sell a lot of postcards of this place says Hawk You look out over four square miles of jagged rock in the center a deep split is Slashed through the earth's crust Just visible is a smooth gravel road It looks like an earthquake says Lady J But the rock structure is all wrong. It couldn't have happened naturally Cobra isn't natural says and Hawk Cobras are not naturally occurring apparently He scans the terrain with his binoculars I see a route down the western edge where we can gain access to the road, but I want to lead I Want a lead patrol to check things out for the main column any volunteers roadblock barbecue and Lady J Step forward. All right ready for your first options. Okay. There we go If you want to volunteer to join the lead patrol turn to page five If you decide to stay with the main column turn to page six So your options are five type five and hit enter if you would like to volunteer to join the lead patrol or Six if you want to stay with the main column Five or six those are your options Let's see what you got. Just select five or six type it in there and Let's see what we got. We got several fives already nearly all fives I'll give it a few more seconds and see if Yeah, lots of fives That's a lot of fives. I don't know. I don't think six can catch up. I think I think five is gonna have it okay a Couple more seconds to see if any more come in, but yeah, it looks like we're going with five. Okay. All right I think I think five has won five has won So I'm going to turn to page five Well, I've got good news. We're not dead by the end of page five You decide to join the lead patrol you jump out of the Jeep after Lady J The covert operations expert roadblock the machine gunner and barbecue the firefighter Carefully the four of you pick your way through the rocks to where the earth splits open there under an overhanging rock ledge It's the beginning of the prepared gravel road Crouching at the entrance Lady J looks around. I don't get it. She says this area was blasted sky high But the road is still in good shape. I Don't care about its condition says roadblock. Why is it here in the first place? I tell you it looks like a setup and smells like a trap That's why Hawks sent us ahead you say, but you're not going to learn anything out here Right roadblock nods. You take the lead. You're the best one here on with the ground scope ground scope Lady J and barbecue will back you up and I'll be watching your tails I'll be watching you guys from way over there. You guys you go on ahead All right, let's go you creep down the rock ledge if you I see any I'm sorry if I see something Harry You you tell the others. I'm going to radio you on the calm channel of 47 K Then you head for the dark cavern page 20 page 20 2020 20 All right, and at the end of page 20 we have another option Okay And there's oh, there's an illustration We have an illustration. There we go. We got some artwork there You crawl 40 feet down into the cavern and lower yourself off the rock ledge and onto the road You switch to your infrared goggles for a better view with them You can see that this cavern opens up into a huge underground world to the right the terrain rises in a series of cliffs To the left it falls away from the road You unstrap your the ground scope from your back battle pack When properly used its reading will help you detect troop movements and mechanized activity Just as you switch it on the ground begins to shake A terrifying roar feel fills the cabin Rocks and debris fly through the air The dust is so thick that your infrared goggles are useless But the ground scope picks up no sign of life You switch your radio to calm channel 47 K and try to raise roadblock or barbecue or Lady J Nothing but static next you try Hawk and the main column Silence should you search for the rest of the lead patrol or try to rejoin the main column Or continue deeper into Cobra territory alone. We have a rare three-way option We have to choose We have to choose one of three options. Okay. Let me read these to you. Let me read them. Okay option one If you decide to search for roadblock lady J and barbecue turn to page 36 Option two if you decide to rejoin the main column turn to page 86 option three if you choose to go into Cobra territory alone page 13 so 36 if you want to search for roadblock Lady J and barbecue 86 if you want to rejoin the main column or 13 if you want to go it alone So, let me know type your Your option there either 36 search for the other guys 86 rejoin the main column 13 go it alone So we've got some 13s 36 36 36 13 86 36 this is harder to count when it's All right, I've got a bunch of 36s and I want a bunch of 13s Not not too many people going for 86. I did see a couple 86s. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah 36 69 dude I Think I think 36 wins Although 13 was very close. So I'm going with 36 All right, let's let's go with 36 going with 36 page 36 Right there. All right ready All right You begin to search for roadblock barbecue and Lady J the readings from the ground scope are being fouled up by all the dust That's hanging in the air. So you can't use it to help locate the lead patrol Luckily the scope does show the direction you were walking before the blast If you retrace your steps, maybe you'll find the lead patrol you give it a try suddenly you hear something in front of you Was it a rock falling off the cliff? Could it be the rumbles? The rubble shifting and settling 10 feet away two large forms up here out of the dust. It's roadblock and barbecue If you were Cobra, you'd be dead meat barbecue says if you were Cobra You'd be in more pieces than a jigsaw puzzle. You pull reply with a grin. Where's Lady J? Back here her voice comes through the dust. I was following roadblock and barbecue to make sure they didn't get lost. I Never get lost roadblock says but I wish I knew where the enemy is Come on says Lady J a little thing like that never stopped us She strides ahead into the gloom turn to page 29. So good news. We're not dead yet We're not dead yet All right page 29 29 oh and we have more options at the end of page 29. This is fun. Isn't it? This is This is some kind of fun. I think All right ready Page I did put on the right one, right? Uh Hold on make sure I got to the right page. Oh Yeah page 29. Okay, here we go Without any real idea of where you're going the four of you feel your way deeper into the cavern every few minutes You check the scanning equipment, but it doesn't see any better than you can. Hey spider roadblock whispers When was the last time you ate? Why do you want to know you ask are you planning to cook a gourmet meal for us? I just wondered if what I heard was your stomach rumbling. He turns to the others What about your stomachs? They're quiet roadblock. They reply All right Well then that rumbling can only mean one thing there's an armored column closing in and I can guarantee that it's Cobra Now that he's mentioned it you can just barely hear the distant sound of half-tracked troop carriers They are still a few minutes away calculates Lady J Just enough time to get ready if we climb a little way up the cliffs will have a direct shot at them when they come into view Roadblock considers the plan and then says or we could wait for them in the ravine and when they pass by jump them What do you think spider? Yeah, cuz that's definitely the decision that should be left to us Okay, so here are your options more options. Okay, you ready? Okay All right. Okay. Well, this is not good. Am I still live? Okay, good. All right Okay, all right. I was sorry thought we lost the connection there. We're good. We're good. Okay Here are your options if you want to take them from the cliffs turn to page 55 If you want to jump them from the ravine turn to page 22. So your options are cliffs 55 ravine 22 Cliffs 55 ravine 22 type your answer Into your keyboard there and hit enter and tell me if it will be Attack from the cliffs page 55 or Jump them from the ravine page 22 See 22 is pulling ahead the 55 is pretty close to even Who's it gonna be who's it gonna be more 22s? Oh, okay. All right, somebody voted a whole bunch of times let's see So that's 155 not like 455 See 22 55 55 55 I'm gonna say it like I'm only counting if I see you Voting more than once I'm only counting one of them. I think I think 55 Got more legitimate votes So we're gonna go with 55 then thank you for for your Assistance with this crucial decision. So we're gonna go with the cliffs and remember Remember what Obi-Wan Kenobi said about the high ground. I feel this is a good. This is probably a good choice page 55 You lead Lady J roadblock and barbecue to a position about 20 feet above the road You drop down into a deep crevice the others follow you safety Safely protected the four of you wait the rumble of the Coler column is getting closer a few seconds later The first tank comes into view it passes right below your position Then a second one appears get ready whispers barbecue The third tank passes by get ready for what asks roadblock those tanks have us outnumbered out gunned and outclassed The fourth tank passes by your turn roadblock and say what are we going to do the fifth tank passes by it stops The main gun turret rotates slowly the tank fires and the cliff explodes around you Roadblock yells right now. We're not going to do a whole lot. Lady J and roadblock dive behind an Outcropping of rock you and barbecue follow you open fire on the cobra tanks, but it's no good You're not only outnumbered out gunned and outclassed. You're out of time the cobra missile screams through the air aim directly at your location GI Joe mission over but not accomplished the end Okay I'm doing a mulligan. Okay. No, I'm going to page 22 That I'm not I'm not ending that we got too far. I'm not ending it that way Alright, let's just let's just pretend that one didn't happen. We just just move on Just move on. Yeah All right, let's let's see. Let's see what would have happened if we had chosen 22, which some of you clearly wanted to do very badly Let's see page 22 Roadblock and Lady J slide over the edge of the road and down into the ravine you and barbecue dive after them skidding to a Stop alongside roadblock Keep down cautions. Lady J. We don't have much cover here Yeah, if they look over the edge, they'll spot us everyone squirms a little Flatter against the ground in the pit of your stomach. You can feel the vibration of the up approaching armor Roadblock lifts his head. Those are heavy-duty his tanks rolling by it'll be hard to shoot out to out shoot them But I'm sure it'll it sure be nice to have some wheels We may have to trick them Lady J says I'm going to get closer When the last vehicle comes into view, you'll hear me raising a fuss That's the signal for you to you for I'm sorry for you three to come up top and do something appropriate Well, at least she's got all the details worked out barbecue says turns page 73. See we did it. We're doing fine. What we're doing fine We're turning to page 73. I don't remember anything else happening Page 73 Lady J slips off to the left and disappears into the rough terrain half a dozen tanks roll by there's a Minute of quiet then another tank roars up get ready you whisper This could be it roadblock checks his equipment patting his armored vest to be sure everything is in place You take a deep breath barbecue flashes you the thumbs up sign Suddenly a sharp voice breaks out Cobra driver pull this vehicle over to the side. This is an authorized safety inspection That's your cue says roadblock. Let's do it page 82 page 82 All right You roadblock and barbecue charge up the ravine Lady J has stopped a cobra personnel carrier with four troopers in it She's got her boot propped up on the front tire like one and one hand on her hip The other hand is pointing into the driver's face. You're in a lot of trouble. She barks. Let's see some identification The driver can't believe this is happening and that's all the diversion the rest of you need Coming up from behind you jump to troopers on the left roadblock and barbecue take the ones on the right You toss them out onto the road before you can they can recover Roadblock jumps into the driver's seat you and Lady J and barbecue are right behind them You glance over your shoulder as the APC peels out The four Cobra troopers are sitting in the dust. I don't think they even know what hit them You tell roadblock. That's not surprising says Lady J when you jump the last vehicle in a column You usually get away clean and neat And that's just what we did says barbecue and now that we've got some wheels We can check out this Cobra business in style page eight page eight All right, we're surviving pretty good and we got five minutes until until new years for the East Coast Roadblock finds the adjusting lever and tilts his seat back a notch or two, then he adjusts his rearview mirrors That's better. He announces proudly this Cobra Coach is no T-bird, but I think it will do all right. He reaches under his vest pulls out a tape He slips it into his portable player drive a Driving rhythm fills the APC That's what he had on that tape. He had a driving rhythm Let's see What are you doing? You ask are you crazy every Cobra within a hundred miles? We'll hear that you turn to barbecue He's tapping his foot and watching the sights. He's seen all this before He's seen this all before Spider my friend roadblock says to you when you've been on as many missions as I have You learn to eat when you can when you can sleep when you can and listen to the tunes any time You can hear them over the artillery You shake your head and disbelief. It's going to be a lot of fun going into battle with this crew You keep watch on the surrounding hills as roadblock fire fine tunes the stereo Suddenly you hear a piercing whistle over your head scream lamb incoming rockets shouts lady J Roadblock twists the wheel hard to the right page 60 All right. Well, we got some more options at the end Oh, we got options at the end of page 60 and we have some artwork there. We got some artworks. There we go Coblam a second blast rips into the road in front of you roadblock cuts sharply to the left What are they? Where are they coming from Shouts barbecue dirt and rocks shower down around you They're being launched from behind us. You answer boom another rocket hits just off the side The blast nearly throws you out of your seat. We're being chased by co the cobra tanks. Well yells lady J They're doing more than chasing us roadblock answers They're using us for target practice the road in front of you lifts up into the air as another round strikes home And I do believe they're getting better. He shouts you can barely hear him There's so much noise Barbecue moves closer and screams We're no batch for their firepower a few more tries and they'll have us zeroed in You think fast you can either stay on the road and outrun them or cut down into the ravine and try to lose them You've got to tell roadblock which way to go. Okay, so here are your options You can either Try to outrun the column page 12 everybody who's been Talking about page 12. There's page 12 is actually an option if you want to outrun them or Try to lose them in the ravine 26 12 or 26 12 outrun them 26 try to lose them 12 or 26 12 or 26 Okay, that's a lot of 12s. Are there even any 26s? There are some 26s All right Well, the 12s and the 26s have kind of evened out a little bit. So It's a it's a close race My goodness I thought 12 was gonna win especially with everybody picking page 12 before even started reading the book But but we've got a lot of 26s 26 pulled ahead surprise upset 26 has won 26 has won Let's turn to page 26. I just passed it Well, I got good news. We don't die at the end of page 26 Roadblock you shout cut down into the ravine is getting too hot up here roadblock swerves Around a crater and says that ravine can't be any worse than this road hang on He launches the APC over the edge the track spin. Oh There's the alarm Alexa stop alarm Happy new year. Happy new year to everyone on the east coast Hello, and happy new year. Thank you for joining us And I certainly hope that your 2021 is better than this year so I Wanted to pause there for one second To say happy new year happy 2021 to the Eastern time zone How do you do? So congratulations so Now that we have that business out of the way We return to this most riveting story Let's see so roadblock goes down the ravine And I don't think I can hold it together much longer roadblock says just to the left of your seat as an emergency brake system switch You could reach down and activate it. Maybe it won't maybe it would help or maybe you should just hang on and hope If you want to hit the brake Select page 63 if you want to just hang on and hope Turn to page 15 so your options are hit the break 63 63 or Hang on and hope page 15. So please decide between 63 and 15 63 or 15 63 To To hit the break 15 to hang on and hope We've got we're starting out with a bunch of 15s Lots of 15s hang on guys 15 That's a lot of 15s, let's see if if 63 can catch up I Don't think 63 can catch up. I'll give it a few more seconds a few more seconds But I don't think 63 can catch up even if everybody else Goes with 63. I think we're yeah, okay. Yeah, it looks like 15 one 15 won that one pretty easily. So we're gonna hang on and hope And by the way if we lose at this point, then then we're just out of luck Okay, well good news. We do not die by the end of page 15 You grip the roll bar You're not going to let go no matter how rough it gets as the APC plows down the ravine Roadblock does his best to keep it upright a little to your right says barbecue Roadblock ignores his help helpful advice a shower of sparks shoot up into the air as the APC's right side scrapes Along a large rock watch watch it on the left lady Jay shouts. I Don't think he's listening you say to lady Jay. I Guess he's got his handful hands full. She answers Roadblock is staring straight ahead twisting the wheel like a wild man after a few more seconds The ground flattens out and the APC is finally. I'm sorry APC finally coasts to a stop at the edge of a river Except for a few rocks sliding down the ravine everything is quiet the four of you pause and listen carefully There's not a sound you've lost them suddenly a quiet voice from behind you says coming down a hill like that You people are a dangerous bunch you whirl around. Where did that come from page 34? Page 34 You barbecue and lady Jay dive out of the Jeep hit the ground and roll behind a boulder and jump to your feet your machine pistols are cocked Rock roadblock hops off the back of the APC and calls out in an irritated voice Don't fool me now. I'm sorry. Don't fool fool with me now I've had a trying day a Voice not too far away says keep your voices down and don't shoot. We're coming out into the open two figures rise up From the ground and slowly walk toward you. It's Duke and rock and roll Lady Jay whispers. Where did you guys come from you ask? I'll explain everything later says Duke as he reaches you But first we've got to get away from that Rattle tap rattle trap truck it draws too much attention Page seven This is long Good Lord, we have more options at the end of page seven and we must be doing good Duke leads you along the river to a secluded inlet hidden from view you crouch around in a circle after That big explosion we got separated from the rest of the team Duke says we ended up by this river This waterway is a busy place Cobra is using it to move a lot of heavy equipment Barges and high-speed patrol boats pass by every 15 minutes rock and roll points upstream and and ads We're hidden. We were hidden on a point of land where the barges come in close to shore We overheard the Cobra workers complaining about the 24-hour work details and how they couldn't wait for Dragonfire to be finished so that they can get some R&R Dragonfire must be what they're what we're after it says Duke We know it's something downstream if it's going if we're going to stop it. That's where we'll go Roadblock stands up and shakes his legs to straighten out the kinks He looks at the slimy riverbank and says I hope you weren't planning to walk there It would be faster and more pleasant to a sneak into onto one of the barges or capture a patrol boat What do you say spider? Duke is the acting first sergeant and is in command of the group, but you know he is willing to listen to suggestions So we got some more options, right ready? If you want to sneak onto a barge Page 80 if you'd like to try a patrol boat 16 so are we gonna steal a barge page 80 or Are we going to steal up a troll boat page 16? So choose 16 or 80 16 or 80 this is stories getting really long. I think that means we're doing good because we haven't died yet 16 or 80 what what do you what do you what say you? What say you? 16 16 16 80 80 80 16 and 80 16 and 80 They're pretty close, but I think 16 is edging ahead a little bit. I'll give it a couple more seconds Because I know there's lag This one's a bit closer, but it looks like 16 is still keeping the edge. I think we're going with 16 16 wins So let's let's steal a patrol boat Well, we don't die at the end of page 16 I know how to get us a patrol boat you say Duke not Duke nods He'll go along with your idea. You lead the team back to the Cobra APC first We need somebody who can put on a good act you roadblock I I want you to lie down With your legs sticking out from under the APC and grown Roadblocks brow wrinkles, but there's a glean in his eye Turning to Duke barbecue and rock and roll you say your position is over there at the water Stay low behind the rocks. Lady J and I will be up there on the bank When the next patrol boat comes by It'll dock so Cobra can check out the APC They'll see roadblock and think he's a wounded Cobra when they come ashore They'll be right in the middle of our trap Roadblock shakes his head and says you've got me lying in the dirt and these two guys sitting over there in the water Without a doubt spider. This isn't one of your better plans. Trust me. You say page 64 We're still going Roadblock is under the truck Duke barbecue and rock and roll are by the water's edge you and lady J are up on the bank Everything is ready a few minutes later a patrol boat comes down the river All goes according to plan the boat passes by the circles around then pulls up along the bank One Cobra stays at the wheel as three others climb ashore as soon as they're out in the open You let loose a round of fire while Duke and his the others rush the boat and get rid of the Cobra's Get rid of the Cobra's that he's killing them That they they're permanently gotten rid of With Duke at the helm you pull out onto the current and race down the river you check out the craft There are twin 50 caliber machine guns up front Rockets mounted on the sides and a double rack of depth charges off the stern Sounds kind of like a more a hydrofoil actually Below deck or a pair of H&R diesels Top speed 32 knots. It's a nice little boat You move to the cockpit and turn on the radar the screen lights up There's a lot of traffic about a mile downstream. You say it could be the base port page 68 This is the longest one we've ever done This is the longest one. I'm getting tired. This is look. I don't stay up late. This is making me tired Here we go. We're doing it. I That's probably where they've been taking all the dragon fire equipment says Duke if we take care of that base port It's a good bet that Cobra will be out of business He cuts the engine as the port comes into view Well cruise by once just to get the layout Duke says as Duke maneuvers closer. You all scan the port There are six concrete docks tied alongside our 30 or 40 barges waiting to be unloaded You borrow a J's binoculars and get closer closer look at the cargo. Everything is marked thermal control station on On shore is a large generation facility Generating facility After the side you can see a fuel pump Turning the patrol belt around Duke says that's our target. All right, let's pull them out Let's put them out of business page 31 Lordy and we're not done at page 31 either. I So GI Joe Resolute is gonna be late is what I'm saying Duke pulls back on the throttle the engines howl and you race toward the docks You see Cobra workers. Oh, we have some artwork here. You got some artwork. Yeah There we go What do you do Some of the barges are being guarded by armed clover trooper. It looks very secretive very sinister They can't be up to any good. You say eyeing the guards and remembering the blast you saw. Yeah growls rock-and-roll I don't know what dragonfire is, but we better get rid of it Wright says Duke He cuts around the barges Roadblock and rock-and-roll open up with their fifties They splinter the wood packing crates and everything inside them rat-a-tat-tat Wheeling around Duke heads toward the fuel dump He closes in at full speed then at the last second pulls into reverse The twin props turn into the water He cuts the wheel hard to right and the boat spins around you pop off Four depth charges and pull out just as they blow for you for you Cobra Roars Roadblock 89 Please let this be the last page we got to be winning right Oh, it is okay with flames shooting up in the air and Cobra attack sirens wailing You head for your last target the thermal control station Lady J gives you the target coordinates you cruise along until You're well within range a shore battery opens up blam blam you take a direct hit That shakes the boat, but Duke manages to hold the course Finally he raises his hands and yells fire You punch the button and six missiles streak to the target the whole thermal control station Trembles and shakes then erupts in a massive geyser of steam Goodbye dragon fire shouts barbecue Duke swings the patrol boat out of the harbor But behind you are the smoking remains of Cobra's dragon fire ahead of you is the way home the end we did it Victory Victory that was really long I'm not sure That could have been shorter we blew them up hold on where is the There there's the illustration Yeah, we we blew them up But But we never found out exactly what dragon fire was and We never found out what the heck happened to the Dakota But Well, it doesn't matter it doesn't matter we won the point is we won so now It's time It's actually past time to do the resolute. Okay, I Promise to do it and even though it's now later than I intended to start I'm gonna I'm gonna do it so if you have the resolute DVD go ahead and place that in your DVD player if you'd like to watch along I'm going to do the same in mine. I'll be right back. Okay, so once you have the resolute DVD in your player I Will let you know when I'm ready to hit play and you hit play at the same time and then we'll be watching it at The same time won't that be cool? Hang on a second Right back hold on Okay, sorry about that. I forgot the HDMI for the Blu-ray player was not connected. There we go. All right, just take me to the menu. Yes, I know I know Sorry, I'm getting past the advertisements. How's everybody doing? It's about a little less than 45 minutes until New year where I am. All right, come on I'm just trying to get to the menu. We're gonna make it. Look, I I normally go to bed fairly early because I have to get up early for work. So This is this is this is oh Trek yard says happy new year from my time zone happy new year trek yards and thank you for being here It was really cool to see you. Um, so yeah, all right James Corman happy new year to you as well So I guess I won't need these But I am now on the Menu the main menu for Resolute So if you are there as well I'll give you a couple minutes and then we'll hit play and we'll watch G. I. Joe Resolute together so so Happy new year to everyone who's already experienced Midnight everyone on in the Eastern time zone Okay, that is that's right. I I yeah, I it could happen No, but I'm sticking it out. I'm sticking it out. I'm gonna I can do this. I can do this Okay, all right, if you are on the menu screen for G I Joe Resolute Hit play in three two one now There it goes. All right It's been a while since I've seen this. All right. It's the intro. Yeah, pretty good-looking Cobra commander good animation Sergeant slaughter slaughter house says it's 3 p.m. Here So well into the new year. Yes, you're you're you're much farther along Oh, that's right. Yeah Yeah, this this one could be a little rough on bazooka fans. Yeah. Oh, yeah I don't I hope you're not a major blood fan either because yeah, he did got a Slightly redesigned USS flag and we start with the bang so we start off like right off the bat with major blood being dead and The USS flag under attack and we've got these Yeah, these things here and that is Cobra Island and this Iteration Cobra Island is shaped like a literal Cobra launch silos. It's been a while since I've seen this How's everybody doing? Bazooka never had any fans. I think he might have had a fan or two, but apparently not enough to keep him alive In this little mini series So Cobra has launched satellites. I think Cobra likes launching satellites or capturing satellites So basically anything to do with satellites Cobra likes it. Yeah, I like Steve styles. I like major blood too. I Think it's a just a really unique looking figure and an Interesting character. I'm a major blood fan Hello, David. I don't think I saw you come in. Hello Roberto Carvajal, how do you do? Happy New Year to you as well And Nuevo Laredo, Mexico Happy New Year to you Roberto. He was liked just enough to be a hit when he dies. Yeah, that's That's one way to put it. Yeah firefly. Yeah, it's Man, I should watch this more often. This is I mean the animation is Really excellent and if you if you don't have it and can't watch along. Sorry. Oh, good night, Eric. Thanks for joining James you didn't happen to see my go fund me page on Facebook to you. I don't think I did James I'll try to look for it later. Sorry if I missed it Thank you. Az cafe motto. Thank you very much Yeah, I haven't watched it in quite a while either Trek yards. I Should watch it more often. It's it's pretty good. There are a couple choices in here that I I'm not a big fan of but Those minor issues aside. It's really a nice Story it's the animation is just lovely This is what you want to see, you know This is the kind of animation you'd like to see with GI Joe. Thank you. They gone. Thank you very much and Zathras is going to watch iron eagle excellent choice. Enjoy. All right, David Fitchner But if you have a chance to watch Resolute, it's worth checking out. It's really not bad at all Well computer computer aided animation there and we get doc and Yep, there's bazooka on the Exam table with a With a scroll in his mouth And on the scroll is Is is that that Storm Shadow, I do like that Duke doesn't have like the Aw Shucks Boy Scout kind of persona that he sometimes had in the In the classic animated series they made him they made him a little bit more gruff Which is I think appropriate For his role. Yeah, the animation. I'm sorry. I should be commenting on what I'm seeing but I'm just enjoying Watching the animation. It's really nicely done some cobra troopers The cobra troopers look like kind of like the classified series troopers a Little why no sequel to this. I'm not sure. I Think it would be nice if somebody picked it up and and Did another chapter with it that would be cool Yeah, David, that's kind of how a lot of people see it. I think is like it's gi Joe for grown-ups I mean the the battles have Consequences, right? You know you have Deaths you have you know You have consequences and that is I think something that was sometimes missing from Some but not all iterations of gi Joe is that like If you have war but nobody ever gets hurt then it It's violence without consequence and that that cobra trooper sure just had a consequence right there See Peter Aang is this version of Cobra Commander used to voice low light from the original series. That's cool I did not know that that's awesome animation a little choppy there, but still not too bad They tell they killed 10 million people around Moscow one thing I like about you look across the this crowd of Joe's and Even though you've got people wearing, you know different uniforms and just some of them have different looks You know who everybody is like without even asking or having to be told You can tell who everybody is Sean says I hope scarlet gets a lot of focus in future media me too. We haven't had Like we haven't had a live action scarlet since Rise of Cobra and that was Maybe not the best portrayal. Oh, that's cool. Matt. Thank you. Thank you for the information Got some fairly realistic looking Vehicles although for all that stuff to fit inside the The flag it's got to be huge look see that's Flint you can tell that's Flint and That's gung-ho. You don't have to ask who it is. You can just tell that it's gung-ho Comic tropes says there's a post-credits scene for this If there is I don't remember that there is I haven't watched this in years We're getting very sci-fi Lots of techno battle techno babble Tony Jackson says retaliation had some good ideas Definitely better than Rise of Cobra, but not the Joe movie. I wanted I agree with that Tony I definitely think that retaliation was better than Rise of Cobra Still some things I would have done differently though That's why I have my fingers crossed for the snake eyes movie when we eventually get it someday perhaps Star Trek loves the techno babble That's true But we love Star Trek. So that's fine Sorry, I know I should be comments commenting, but I'm just enjoying the show. Sorry about that Oh, hey, it's what's on Joe mind How do you do? Yeah, I'm totally blitz man. This is all I've had. I've had one beer. So Yeah, if I'm drunk already then I'm an incredible lightweight We looks like we got about 25 minutes till midnight my time, but we're gonna stick it out and watch the rest of of Resolute and Then I will shut everything off and I will say good night Thank you, Gory happy new year to you and An end 13 s happy new year to you as well Yeah, that is true. They gone it is better to be a lightweight Yeah Yes, if you're watching along To Resolute again for those who just got here. We're We're doing a watch along of GI Joe Resolute. It is a bit mesmerizing. Oh, yes Happy New Year What's on Joe mind? Congratulations on 2021 finally arriving Cheers, I do have another beer. I think it's time to crack over you guys watch the show You watch the show. I'm gonna go crack. Is that airborne? That's cool. I'm gonna go get that my last beer and I'll be right back Talk amongst yourselves. I'll be right back and I'm back. Here we go. This will keep us going. All right See what do we got here codename cheap date? Yes Thank you, Tony The that'll be the next codename in In a find your fate book a book codename cheap date Sorry got lost in the show again Snake eyes declassified Alon's has Silent interlude animation. That's cool Treckyards speaking of at HCC 788. What's my? Codename what's your codename a codename transporter malfunction? I don't know. I'll have to if you want a codename I'll have to think about it Captain foley if if it's captain foley if the answer is captain foley then I Then I misunderstood the question who mentioned favorite shipper epic episode was with snake eyes and the five part Rocks hand talk about like when Snake eyes and shipwreck Were in the band and snake eyes was wearing drag. I'm sorry. I've I've kind of Missed some of the show here but I I've I Just like the animation. It just feels good the animation feels Well done There are some occasions where it gets a little choppy But not too many like it's that's really smooth there. That's really smooth animation with the The the guys training with the swords But then earlier they had the guys training with the swords in the background and it was a little bit choppy I'll ask you five or six more times and that's it. I mean it What? No, who can it be? This is an interesting take on The assassination of the hard master It's it's unique It's it's like it's sort of the same idea as the story in the comic book, but But with a twist Yeah Snake eyes may just want to take a take a break on this one He's been shot in the face Thank You Jonathan Ulrich. Thank you and thank you for being here. Yeah Even though like I I accept things like ninjas in gi Joe and And science fiction to a degree. I will always be more partial to the more realistic Military figures. That's just that's what my preferences are That's what my preference always has been. Yeah, I'm sorry again. I even though like like even less interesting parts of the show Have good animation. So it's it's hard to stop watching and like pay attention to live chat. Sorry guys Yeah Dave f34 I am I'm a fan of the comic book series. I like the Larry Hama approach. So But I as As I've gotten older I have learned to appreciate other forms of gi Joe media as well But I grew up on the comic book and so that I'll always be partial to the comic book series well Nihilist lost the Arashikaga hat for The Larry Hama figure hope to find it if I ever move. Oh so did you get the The Larry Hama like Kickstarter figure. Is that what you're talking about? I saw that going around Do you think Bruce Willis was awake for any of the scenes he filmed in gi Joe? I don't know I That's a good question. Was he sober for any of them? Did he have any idea what movie he was in? See this this feels like it feels like combat. It doesn't feel like You're shooting lasers and nobody gets hit. Look those go cobra guys definitely got hit That was a hell of a grenade. Holy damn Yeah Sam Beckett says I'd love to see issues 26 and 27 animated If they won't do it in the movie Yeah, that that would be cool The origin of snake eyes two parts. I think like I'd like to see the origin of snake eyes parts of it animated If you remember that was they there were elements of the ongoing story that kind of ran through those issues, but I'd like to see Maybe those parts edited out and like a standalone Origin of snake eyes animated that would be pretty cool Yeah, nihilist. I did try to play the game and I I couldn't get into it I know some people who really like the game and that's that's great, but I'm not much of a gamer anyway, so I'm not the right person to ask as far as like whether a game is good or not Tony Jackson says Joe Colton's battle gear t-shirt and loose jeans Look, that was just what Bruce Willis wore to the set that day and he wasn't changing Yeah, yeah, yeah cover need to get some clones happening a unique use of tunnel rat not what you would expect the bats the bats I always thought that I Have I mean the the cobra bat 1986 is an excellent figure. I I I think it's great as For robots in GI Joe, I never necessarily needed robots in GI Joe But But if you had robots, they'd have to They couldn't be terribly smart. Yeah, there you go Fred seven had surgical clones Lobots Hey, hey Yeah You got beach head and stalker now the like the stalker here looks cool But I I just can't imagine stalker the stalker the character that I know Having dreadlocks the stalker is like a career army guy. He's a lifer and I just can't imagine a Stalker have any having any haircut other than regulation until the day he dies. Hey, where's your toy? Where's your toy? It's over there. It's over there. Are you gonna get it? Yeah Not all seven steps of his most secret martial arts form That animation is really beautiful. I know a lot of GI Joe fans prefer having the storm shadow as an enemy of Snake eyes and having him as a Cobra character But I I rather enjoyed his transformation Into An ally of GI Joe Hey, that's a cool cobra tattoo See I couldn't I could well it all right. That's his Arashikage tattoo is on the inside Forearm where as traditionally it's on the outside forearm And he's got a cobra tattoo on the other side whereas I have a cobra tattoo on The shoulder it's a good fight scene though. It's a really good fight scene. I have to I have to imagine This was fun. I I think the the the animators enjoyed working on this Thank you SK 2010. Thank you very much. I think I can understand those who prefer having storm shadow as an enemy, but I Really enjoyed the stories that brought him Kind of back to the good side And I wouldn't want to give up those stories. I just think those are really good stories Jason there was not a Q&A this year. I just didn't have the The time or the energy to put together a Q&A so I am sorry about that Don't do the thing. Oh not the thing Storm shadow needs an animal maybe a ferret a hedgehog or a goldfish. Those are all good options. I Want to see I want to see storm shadow going into battle holding a goldfish bowl because his companion animal is the goldfish That that's that same shock wave after the Death Star exploded So is he dead or is he just sleepy? I guess he dead. All right. Good stuff. Good stuff We're about four minutes away from New Year's my time Hey, Jason. Happy New Year. Happy New Year Hello James a aka rat face. Nice to see you Hello T zone almost there. Yes, we are. All right. Well, this is definitely reminiscent of the animated series like if all those guys can't hit those two people standing up and Shooting at them then everybody's a really bad shot Everybody has stormtrooper aim.

Happy New Year, and I'm trying to provide commentary, but I Get mesmerized by the animation There you go Duke shut him up Tis just it is but a flesh wound Gory says Zartan is the best among many great Gijo characters. I do like some Zartan and That is not of course Zartan is not a realistic character at all, but At least as he appeared in the comic book he was really well written and I ended up really Appreciating that character a lot. Now. Who's the leader of the dread knocks? Who who it would be buzzer It would be buzzer. He's the smartest one That's it. That's it. Alexa. Stop alarm Happy New Year. It is officially 2021 here we made it We've made it We made it we made it dog. Look we made it we made it Oh my god so Let's never mention 2020 ever again shall we Thank you ski 2010.

Yeah, I had to had to reply to some some New Year's messages from friends on my phone At least at least they shoot bullets, right? At least they shoot actual bullets rather than Lasers they still miss apparently It's really the animation is really stinking good though Yeah, 2020 is like Joe 94 we don't speak of it Yeah, let's just oh lordy the tiger king Yeah, I I did hear that so So as soon as this show is over, I will shut down the live stream and I will call it a night This is the like the satellite Scene and this is I Don't I don't think I like the the whole satellite thing quite as much as some of the other parts of Resolute but it it was fine. It's not it wasn't bad Yeah, I think I think the fireworks are freaking out the dog Tony says I like how resolute still has a crazy cobra plan even it. Yes. Yes, it's it's It's it's it is more realistic Than a lot of the animated series, but it still does have an animated series like Crazy insane cobra plan Hey Yay, they defeated the satellites Yeah, here where I live there the ordinance the Local ordinances allow you allow people to set off fireworks within the city limits. So Oh Legal fireworks happening right now Adam Fairfax. Oh USPS is holding up some figures man. That's those that's rough USPS is actually also holding up. I sent something to Chris from comic tropes for Christmas I Sent it before Christmas. It is now New Year's and it is still not there As far as I can tell it's still not even close Hello, Burgess Meredith. How you doing? We are finishing up watching Gijo Resolute and As soon as this is over, I will be ready to sign off And go to bed Because I'm old and I don't stay up late anymore Fly you birds fly Can you launch like a C5 galaxy off of an aircraft carrier. I don't think you can There goes a very expensive toy Jason Call a top-tier item. Will you say that? It's top-tier. I'll do what I can Jason my tier level had become a very unscientific and very kind of Not real Consistence so I was having a hard time putting it in the tier system, but I will I will consider that that's that's a fair Request and I will consider Doing that in the future. Oh, I'm sorry You know I have friends and family I do Well, he had that coming. Let's see what now what okay? What was the question? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm missing out Racer X Gundam says happy New Year's and shout outs from Miami a shout outs also to you from the United States and happy New Year I will consider bringing back the the tier system. I Just I didn't I got away from it because it just wasn't very consistent I didn't feel like I was oh, thank you Occam's razor for the super chat. Thank you very much very much appreciated Yeah, that's the thing I don't have a tier list and if I were to like make a list of the tiers like Top middle and bottom tier I think it would It wouldn't make sense like if you were to set it all out that way Like you'd feel like some things were just not consistently in the right tier. I Mean I had some criteria that I used but But yeah, it's it's a pretty pretty subjective it's not pretty subjective It's entirely subjective, but I that is something I used to do and I know people have asked about that Before so I will consider that I will I will strongly consider bringing that back In 2021 best GI Joe vehicle to me Cobra Reagan Raven Still got your old one. That's cool. In fact, I am Mike Cobra night Raven is just right over there. I can see it right here from where I'm sitting. I Used to have it on display in my old office But but not in the new office Those trends aren't moving Sorry, that is a little little bit of a glitch in the animation there Thank you, Matt, and I I'm trying to The main thing I want to do is I want to get back to doing regular reviews I got away from it because out of out of necessity But I really miss the routine of doing reviews David says to start using a clearly insane tier system. Yeah It was getting close to that Do what you like that's the idea Hey Burgess, the the movie you were watching Resolutes and it's it's been good Obviously I've seen it before I've seen it more than once before but it's been a long time It's been a really long time This I mean this feels like it was made by fans It really does it feels like it was made by people who really really cared about G.I. Joe and They were trying to make the best thing that they could. Oh, it's a thank you Occam's razor I will try to get back to the comic book reviews. I that's another thing. I miss doing I Just I want to get back to all of that I want to get do the toy reviews. I want to do the comic book reviews I want to do all the things that I was doing And I will I It'll take a while for me to get back up to that production level, but I really miss it. I really do Thank You MC DJ AC DC Where's the alcohol? It's that there's that much left and now it's all gone It's the Mandalorian for G.I. Joe.
