[@raphaeldagamer]

Jasper souded like Eddy when he was excitedly screaming. Meanwhile Damien Lee did such a phenomenal job at voice acting for Carv that I couldn't tell it was him until I looked at the description. Also Anna Mall is funny wordplay. This video also demonstrates an interesting property of the economy, being that even if something is marginally too expensive in the eyes of the consumer, it will not sell as well. I can't explain it in a way that does it justice, I got a B- in economics. Read about Adam Smith.

Theses two dynamic duo would make for an adorable couple. The alligator crocodile just wants to spend time with the bird boy, due to them both being busy with work or something.
