Script
Panel 1
Living Room Joey (holding a game controller) sits on the couch, looking at a screen displaying a banner for He looks puzzled but excited.
Joey: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2.
Joey: I heard this is a game so good, it makes my old TV cry.

Joey: I mean, I’ve been waiting for this since I was in diapers, but why does it feel like I’m playing a dream?
