I love Dead Take, but my god the use of youtubers in minor roles takes me RIGHT out of it. Is this guy a studio head, or about to tell me my favorite giant robot series is shit?

And, god, what should #5 be to show I'm not a basic bitch and actually do have some Video Game Hipster chops? OH RIGHT

5) Idol Manager - There is no honor here. There is joy, but there is also a lot of pain. This is the game that they contemplated on the Tree of Woe.
