Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into three separate instances.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to start here with the second
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instance. My friend Grahm and I watched

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At one point midway through the viewing
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while I was just yelling at his TV,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,exasperated, I couldn't understand
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anything I was watching. I was just
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,getting-- I was--
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wouldn't even call it "offensive",
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was just horrible and baffling and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so weird and so confusing!
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Grahm looked at me and asked me if I was

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not only is it difficult to articulate
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the experience itself, what it was like
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to mainline Breen for six and a half hours
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and physically feel my brain melt,
