I was still 9 getting ready to turn 10 when this showtape first came out. I had my 11th birthday party at CEC a year later when the Fall 2014 show was playing. I am assuming you and I are both 19 now!
Good for Chuck to tell us not to do drugs, good message for the kids. It's still an out of body experience just to hear him say the word drugs, though.
They're using the same mechs as the Rock Afire, if programmed correctly they could move just as good. Though it's a shame that CEC entertainment doesn't bother
@@showbizpizzainternational245 Never thought of it that way. The CEI programming is usually said to be more realistic/lifelike than the CEC 3 stage programming.
