As a result of these things there will be mispronounced names, stutters and breakages in my reading of the text, and for this i apologise. hopefully one day I can go back and re-record this video with not only better audio quality, but also with better pronunciation and edits to make the whole thing clearer. All that being said I sincerely hope you enjoy the video, and, if you do, be sure to leave a like, and subscribe if you want to hear more. Text take from: Edward W.
