It's more better. It way more better So we take you in to show you all the new support boards parts everything we doing different on the next game That be better for everybody out there Because we do read those pin site complaints We do We fixing everything Hey, Buck, speaking of the next game, are we putting some stuff in this game? Like, is there going to be a lot of stuff in it? The next game is the most stacked and loaded game we have ever made before. It's actually, that's the title of the game. We're giving it away now. It's called Stacked and Loaded. It's like Tango and Cash, but brought up to a 2021 standard, right? And of course, everybody out there wants to get on that Bloodsucker subscription so you can get the exclusive editions of the next game. Yeah, so being in the fan club gets you access to those wonderful exclusive editions of the spooky fan club games, like the Bloodsucker on Rick and Morty, which was ridiculously awesome. And like we already said, Bill Rude did an awesome job with the Bela Lugosi kit for the fan club members. So, Dad, what is in the Bela Lugosi fan club kit? Oh, you get a... You know that Creature from the Black Lagoon stand-up plastic that everybody loves to have? I'm sure everybody has that. You get a Bela Lugosi version of that, and he's actually holding a pinball like he's this Svengali or Svenguli. I not sure how you pronounce that It really really cool And you also get your mask and your sanitizer and fan club stickers and a fan club card and of course the big one you get early access to our games And we know what happened on Rick and Morty, don't we son? It was important to get early access on Rick and Morty. Yeah, so sadly, the general public did not get any Rick and Mortys because our fan club members, all 750 of you, bought it out. So don't let that happen to you. Get in on it. Get the Fang Club kit now. They're going to be shipping in August, right? Shipping now until August 1st. August 1st, you can get your 2021 Fang Club kit. I think the game announcement might be a little quicker than that. Huh? I'm not pleased to say.
