Proud joins for a 20-minute rant about why there isn't a new Theorycraft Thursday with a patient Cyphus to try and keep him company and sane.  He does not succeed nor does he try very hard admittedly.  It's late.  And madness is taking hold.  Speaking of madness, this episode also features the very first theorycrafted combo of 6.88: Troll Warlord and Crystal Maiden.  Ah.  To be a young 6.88 again.  When heroes like Troll might have been awesome.
