And I'm hoping everybody's able to see their name on here going through, but I believe right there, 194. for. So right there in the middle of what I was talking about. So we'll scroll just right here in the middle because that's where I'm going to have to scroll up or down. And how we're going to go about doing this guys, old Bixby here is going to do all the work. I'm going to try and make sure that you're able to hear her on the microphone and I'm not going to be BSing you or anything like that. So, okay, Bixby. Okay, Bixby. Are you even listening to me? Oh, no. Give me a random number between 1 and 194. One second. Just double checking my math. Alright. Looks like your number is 11. Number 11. So, number 11. You are the lucky winner. Let's see who that is. Number 11. Dan. Verbeck, you are the lucky winner of the Penn Sound promo code So by all means I will be getting in touch with you if for whatever reason dan you do not respond back to me within i give you 24 hours i will do the next person in line so just in case guys let's do a second drawing this doesn't mean you win this just means that you're next up in case the first place winner does not get in touch with me okay bixby Give me a random number between 1 and 194.

I haven't decided which one. I kind of am leaning towards which one I will be doing. I know it's been a long time since I've done an official actual review, and I only like doing actual reviews on games that I've had a great deal of time on or have even owned. I did a rapid review for Led Zeppelin, but That was just basically my quick thoughts on it. I call it a rapid review because it wasn't an actual in-depth review. So I think officially my only review that I've ever done was with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And my next one is more than likely going to be one of these behind me. And I don't know. We'll see where it goes. Right now I am battling a winter Carl Weathers advisory, guys. This is a little ridiculous because this is very uncommon here where I'm at in Texas. we i haven't had to use my fireplace in a couple of years at least but uh my goodness it is really coming down out there i'm going to try to get some footage for you guys here and that's going to wrap up this video thanks for watching guys and until next time peace out Thank you. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: 90b3c46a-1a36-4b86-aa2c-d448c722d723*
