--- Notes!
1) When discussing the ticket system, Mark says a word as "wane" instead of "wan". That's just Midwest accent, but you tomato/tomato yourself on that if he's wrong or not.
2) Not long after that, Mark does mention the solo mode and it's designer without referencing their name. The solo mode was designed by David Digby, not by Kirsten Lunde who did the main game.
