So, in all of the spooky games going forward, we have a new lighting system that we've introduced, where we've included a light strip on the backboard of the machine, and it adds just a ton of really great ambience and lighting effects to the game. I really genuinely think it's better than anything [music] anybody else is doing in the industry. Uh if there was one flaw in the design and overall package of Evil Dead that I would say we have, it is that it is too dark in the back left corner of the game. Simply just a little bit too dark.
