What’s up, everybody! It’s Thursday, November 27th, 2024. I hope you are enjoying Thanksgiving amongst family. Due to Election Season, you gotta be careful about extended family being Trump supporters. Do you best to avoid conflict and enjoy some Turkey. Let us not forget that our Military folks are deployed around the world, and we never know if President Biden may dispatch them in places such as Ukraine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran (Iraq said no more), etc. It’s time to cherish the Peace Plan (Deal of the Century), hope for a #GazaCeasefire, a #TwoStateSolution, and a #LebanonCeasefire. Of course, I will record a special video for everybody deployed, whether Coffee With Zack, or Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Operation Motherland (DLC). PS. Or maybe, surprise, some #MGSVTPP in Japanese audio with English subtitles.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Thursday, November 21st, 2024. Some hopeful news, lately, it appears that the ICC is making Netanayhu a WANTED man as of now on. He would get arrested if he enters the following territories, including France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, and Italy. There are many more countries, almost 200 of them. This is great news, especially since the ICJ was also against Netanyahu. All that remains, is the INTERPOL RED NOTICE on Netanyahu. The new INTERPOL person in charge is from Brazil. It’s almost time. Doctors, Nurses, EMTs from the Palestinian Territories must be thought of, especially, for such stressful jobs, and we hope some sort of relief as soon as humanely possible. Whether you pray to Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Optimus Prime, Jedis, believer or non-believer, Comets à la Final Fantasy VII series, I don’t know what else to say now, I just want Netanyahu to go away forever, and for 40 million Gamers nationwide or worldwide, or the biggest LAN Party on Earth, and the biggest RAVE on Earth, everybody in unison: GO FUCK YOURSELF NETANYAHU, or NETANYAHU, TU N’ES QU’UN FILS DE PUTE. Because we are all tired, and it’s cold weather already. Netanyahu is the worst monster, the worst boss of them all, and it’s just like Death Stranding 1: Director’s Cut and Death Stranding 2, we are Sam Porter Bridges and Fragile, and we’re facing HIGGS, and it’s going to be an epic battle. We shall win, we will win, somehow. We have the entire planet against Netanyahu. Stay hopeful.

Until Next Time!
