Q: During which VGDJ episode was the RayzaMix mentioned and who is its creator??
A: Episode #008 by pixietricks
We did accept people who gave in #010 as an answer (though its not correct in my mind :D) We had 18 people with the correct answer... we used a reputable online random number generator to pick OUR NEXT winner.... which was... *DRUM ROLL*
