I am the first who rates and first who comments ^^. Yay for me!

First of all, that was my 1st episode of Category5.tv I've ever seen. It was quite chaotic, because a friend just told me, that there is an event, and I should look at the Entropiaforum.com for the event, and it's about to start. Just when I talked to her 5 mins before the show (destiny ^^)? I opened video, joined chat, set nick, and later it was even better! Robbie answered all the questions, including mine ^^. More shows like this and world will be perfect. 11/10.
