This episode comes to you from a far happier time, before ELECTION.EXE deleted our hard drives. Yasmine has a new friend at home. Andy wants a friend too, but his pre-order joy turns to ashes. Russell is at least content that Google shipped him something...though he's clearly been trumped by Yasmine.

If that's not enough, we play a game with a robot...WHO WINS? WHO DIES? THE RESULT WILL SHOCK YOU*

*no really it will, don't stick things in powerpoints kids.
