Congrats on moving to youtube video - I watched the episode and enjoyed the content.

[Tamer]

Congrats on moving to youtube video - I watched the episode and enjoyed the content.

Thank you. It is nice to hear some feedback. I look forward to being able to show folks on video all the great custom work that goes on here. It is one thing to just talk about them, but seeing the customs as we talk about them is gonna be awesome. And we still have the audio format available for those who like that too.

[darth_sidious]

Yes, seeing what you're talking about - whether a custom or news item, makes a world of difference.

[Tamer]

Yes, seeing what you're talking about - whether a custom or news item, makes a world of difference.

It is gonna be fun to see what we get into. Folks can look for us to pick our main highlights from ISY of course!
