Irish Mike is a genius. Waiting for the next season to come out. Getting antsy, hoping they didn't stupidly stop making episodes. He's WAY to talented to be overlooked like that. PLEASE HURRY AND MAKE SEASON TWO!

I love this guy. I first saw him on YouTube when he made the buster sword from final fantasy 7. Now that he has a show I couldn't be happier.
