As you know, Tim, world premiere. Kind of Funny Loves Magic the Gathering. The reason we love Magic the Gathering is me, Greg Miller. Of course, long ago, stick with me. I'm not wrong on this one. This is true. Long ago, the Magic folks reached out and said, we're doing a crossover with Ghostbusters. Do you want to exclusively reveal some Ghostbuster cards? I said, yes. They sent me the cards.

Blessing was like, this looks really cool. Mike was like, I used to play Magic all the time. Get me Magic cards. And Blessing was like, well, I'd like to try. And so then we got that. We did a stream. We all fell in love with Magic, myself included. I've just been too busy to actually commit like Blessing is, who's obsessed and obscenely obsessed with it. Mike as well.

And Magic's taken over the office. It took me over. We just did a stream a couple days ago. They played in the lunchroom. Why did you do a stream? Final Fantasy, baby. That's right, everybody. Of course, Final Fantasy is also crossing over with Magic the Gathering. The entire Final Fantasy saga is here June 13th.

The beloved Final Fantasy RPG series, 16 mainline games of unforgettable characters, items, and moments are now here in Magic the Gathering. This is not a sponsored thing. In the same vein of the Ghostbusters thing, they said, do you want to reveal exclusively? Yes, we do. Magic the Gathering cards. And I said, well... Sure. I mean, I'm not the Final Fantasy guy, but Tim Geddes is. I am.
