@NathanMerrill I think I checked it too at some point and it turned out that I was counting the phases wrong so there ended up being fewer phases than I thought.
Also, I watched Jeff's video introducing him, and his comment was hilarious: "Keep in mind that Hammond can't speak English because he's a hamster. That would be ridiculous."
Obviously in the world with talking Gorillas, Psychotic Pyromaniac Australians, Resurrection, Sentient AIs, Time traveling brits, and a hamster warrior in a giant mech ball, talking hamsters would be taking it way too far.
