[Nuka]

Well hot diggity damn you dingos! It's that time again!

This time around we will be finding ourselves upside down as we battle 'Down undaaaa'.

Am I going to be using a terrible Australian Accent for the next three months? Absolutely
Am I sorry? Absolutley, for your sake...

Oh boy! The R6 invitationals are over and my oh my do we have a lot of intel about year 4!
