We hope you enjoy the test.

(Think of the Golden Rule).- Please respect others and their opinions, even if they differ from your own. Mods will continue to remove personal attacks or continued nonconstructive toxicity.

Additionally, providing the specific title for the tech test would be really helpful for people searching the store. Right now we can preload different versions of the game which makes the process tricky.

I will plan on anchoring mine in the dirt, which is where my PCI generally resides. This sounds like a great time saver.

At least I know I'm not the only one. I know the guy on the other end pitching is thinking what is that dude swinging at.

I would like to know a definite answer on this also. In yesterday’s video, Ramone said we could, but when I tried to record earlier, I got a message saying recording this wasn’t allowed.
