ANNOUNCEMENT - Episode 2 of IMP is delayed until next week.

As the title says, episode 2 of IMP will be released next week. I messed up when I was cutting the narration together and the result was something not even our level 20 audiomancer, Jeff, could fix. Since we didn't want to release an inferior product, we'll be re-recording and releasing the episode late. Thanks for your patience. 

PS - Delano, send us a screenshot of your alleged review. 

- Mr. Kirk
