CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE THE 1,000,000TH VISITOR CLICK HERE TO REDEEM YOUR PRIZE

Have you ever been sitting there, pondering

"Maaaaan, I really wanted to know what that scrapped Mr. U official was!"

Well now's your chance to find out in this special limited time offer. That's right! A one-time special PS! distribution of Mr. U's killed glitches/beta hunt will be offered on Monday November 2nd at 11 PM EST.

"Golly gee whiz Mr. U! You're such a cool guy, but are you sure this hunt is okay for release?"

You bet it is! In fact, after being carefully handcrafted by sifting through multiple possible questions it was approved for release by the incredible duo of Kevinrocks and ashiemore. Ashiemore was so impressed by the work, in fact, that she is willing to secure it's careful sale by hosting the event for all of you to come!

"Wow, can it get better than that?"

Of course not lol I'm not throwing in anything extra if you call me within the next 10 minutes, so just gimme all ur money now
