No doubt you're wondering what the hell took us so long to get this episode out, and why the references are to events that happened more than 9 months ago. Here's the scoop:
This Episode (originally titled "Chase Berger and the Temple of Zoom") was commissioned last year by PokerStars. It was a one-off, not the start of a full sponsorship. We spent a lot of time on it, wanting to deliver something special to our long-suffering fans, but once Stars moved to acquire Full Tilt they asked us to wait while everything was sorted out. Sponsoring a new show (even if it was for only one episode) could send mixed signals if it was announced right in the middle of the PS/FTP chaos.
So wait we did, filling the time by making comic strips and hawking t-shirts. And now that the dust is starting to settle, they've given us the greenlight. Once again, this is NOT the start of a new sponsorship. PS is letting us release it as a special holiday present to the fans, but we're still an indie production.
Thanks to everyone for the support during this ongoing hiatus, and may the poker gods smile on you this coming year.

Reason: Doomswitch, I will doomswitch you with DOOM
Oh man, that was ****ing awesome. Lost my **** at the Negreanu/Galfond blog-off ending, and at the Boeree/Weisner cameos obv. Nanonoko was pretty funny too. Amazing.
I have to give you props for putting 'Phil Tufnell' at the top of the list of famous Phils, I am really impressed that you guys know who that is!
