My name is Bernie Burns sitting right over there.

She's looking forward to Laofe.

It's Ashley Burns head on Ashley.

So yesterday was the...

What did I say? Wednesday? Today is Wednesday. It's Wednesday, everybody. Is it Wednesday, my dudes? Every home day. The, um, yesterday was the PlayStation. State of play. State of play. The, hey, what's going on? Yeah, it's like everyone has to, like, brand their, their, here's our lineup. You all got to brand it differently, right? You've got your Nintendo Directed. You've got your state of play. You've got your Xbox showcase. Everyone's like, no, no, no. But ours is unique and different. But we're all doing essentially the same thing where we're telling you what's coming up. So state of play, Sony's was yesterday. And the center stage was taken by God of War Laofe. Laofi. Was it how you say it Laofi? I think it's Laofi. Well, her name's Faye. So is it Lafay? Lafay. So it must be like La Faye, yeah, sure. I will admit this.

It was...

This is God of War Mom.

I watched Mom of War.

I watched the gameplay reveal that they did, and I think it was like 25 minutes of just...

It was a significant amount of gameplay.

It's really cool because it's the tutorial probably without all the tutorial prompts is what it is. Like you can see like, oh, you know, because they show you all the elements of the game, right? What better way to do that than showing the tutorial? Right, because where it's like going through all the bits by bits. This is your shield. This is your weapon. It's without the tutorial and it's also without the learning curve where you're like, and like fucking everything up all the time. Yeah. It's the tutorial played by someone who's already an expert. I was thinking that exact same thing, how like all the moves are perfect and everything like that, like the different kinds of attacks and all that. Right. Like there's no one like missing their opportunity to counter. For whatever it's worth, I just finished Ragnarok in the last like six months. I finally finished that game. I thought it was very cool that they were focusing on a character that was not Loki. I thought they were going to go with Loki for sure. And I, but I felt like his story was, I felt very satisfied with Loki story. You felt serviced by the story. I thought they were going to go with Loki, for sure. And I, but I felt like his story was,

I felt very satisfied with Loki story. You felt serviced by the story. I did. I did. And I'm glad they didn't. And it seemed like they were going, uh, all in on Fay. But then there's a moment in this where it's like, okay, there's other characters now like suddenly, whether they're visions or whatever, Cratos appears in it.
