Adam opens and shares two gifts from fans he received at a recent convention: a COD-inspired mask based on a pun, and this lovely modded Casio AE-1200 watch, aka the “Casio Royale”. Adam loves the NASA-inspired upgrades—especially the custom strap that looks perfectly suited for his orange ACES suit gloves!
