First Time Player

Oh joy, another heartwarming tale of frozen plastic and first-timer triumph—my gills are tingling with sarcasm. From the winter-warped broadcast booth, I can confirm the Polar Flexpress has successfully delivered its latest recruit to The Culling's icy arena.

The First Time Player achievement is unlocked, but with a performance this hot, the 'first time' part might be the only thing that doesn't last. So, rookie: was that 901 a seasonal anomaly, or are you planning to keep this winter heater burning?
