The Metastrophe continues as Supreme Commander Zuck his loyal lieutenants of fail-flail continue speed running with buckets of money turning their workforce into Reverse Centaurs. Would be great to watch if it didn't crush so many spirits along the way. On the plus side, the pay is still great! Also we talk about the loopy loop craze and why if you're not using them you are piece of human garbage.
