(Finally got my DVD today). Yeah, FudTV seems to be quieter than the rest of the clips. I am so glad I finally got to see the Shrink (having only played the PC version of AO). That was cool.

Hrm, I didn't get the bonus DVD... I can't imagine that they're already out of them. Hopefully with a courteous e-mail from me they'll see the error in their ways and send it. :banghead:
