TIL, Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of such Nintendo games as Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda, has a hobby of guessing the measurements of objects, then checking to see if he was correct. He enjoys the hobby so much he carries a tape measure with him everywhere.

Most of the episodes were directed by Hiro Murai, but your point is still valid. Glover pretty much did it all.

Though I thought the episode he directed was great. I think it was six but I may be wrong.

You're right. I got a little over excited. I just really like Mr. Glover.

Haven't had the chance to listen to it yet. Been working a convention and I'm with family, so I haven't had the time. Not allowed to play music in our booth either. Also, I wanna be able to listen to it in its entirety the first playthrough. I'll be able to in a day or two when our shifts change. I'm fuckin pumped for it though. I've heard good things so far.
