Is the joke that he's on paternity leave?

[@marzipanmango]

@Silver The joke is that Justin creating digital monsters for our entertainment is far more important than literally creating and nurturing his child. Though if you think about it, it's not really a joke because it's just the truth.

Can we talk about how amazingly robust the animation engine is in this game? I've never given a crap about wrestling, but I gotta say, the presentation in this game is pretty incredible.

[@rynemcgriffin1752]

cwinget I’ll be honest, I bought W2K19 solely to make my own monster factory and I gotta say, I’m really enjoying the quite robust animation/character creator

I've never seen a video before where there's been an epilepsy warning like that. Right before the flashing lights, easy to see, describing what would happen and how long it would last. Thank you so much that was so incredibly helpful. Take note, literally everyone else who makes videos

[@hannahneher4172]

My favorite thing is Pat sounds so professional, like he could be a real announcer for wrestling but also has the chaos energy of the McElroys...and so we get this comedy gold

[@ashrishaw5435]

Can we just appreciate that 1. They have paternity leave, and 2. They were kind enough to give the epilepsy warning? Love these guys and just their unending kindness! Keep up the wonderful work!

[@rynemcgriffin1752]

They love us as much as they love their many many boys
