Trying a lot of new stuff this expac! With my growing home responsibilities I'm letting more people help with the process. Kev (who manages the highlight channel) stepped up to help edit the base vid and Scribble handled the avatars and text as usual. We're trying out a new editing software. All that to say, there are gonna be hiccups and errors here and there but I hope you'll let them slide as we iron them out. :) Also thanks again to our sponsor today.
