Thank you very much to Cptn.Canuck for coming on the show! Canuck is a DOTA2 streamer over on twitch and is active in the SC community. You can also find a link to his post (as discussed in the show) here. Check out his stuff, send him any thoughts you might have, thank him for joining all of us!

Also - let us know how the show is flowing for you! We're liking the way this episode went! While you're at it - give a huge thank you to El Danimale for allowing me to take a break this episode, he cut together our show this episode! Thanks Danimal!"-Splicepoint
