Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and support. Without you, Sacred Symbols and all things Collins Last Stand would not exist.

But enough of that onto the show.

Greetings and salutations. Welcome back to Sacred Symbols, a PlayStation podcast. My name is Colin Moriarty.

This is episode 27 of the show, and today's episode, as we've been teasing, or as I've been teasing over the last couple of episodes, is going to be a little bit different than the episodes we've done in the past.

The basic gist of it is that Chris is out in New York. I'm jealous, because I want to go to New York too and see my family.

But Chris is in New York with his family for the holidays, and so he's not in LA to record with me.

And I felt like it was kind of inappropriate for me to go and ask for a co-host from someone in kind of the ecosystem, because I'm recording this on the afternoon, an early evening of New Year's Eve.

So I would have had to go to someone and be like, hey, it's New Year's Eve evening. You want to spend it with me talking about PlayStation?

I would have been a really tantalizing thing. So instead, what I wanted to do is, again, as we've been teasing, is I wanted to sit and do a Fireside Chat style episode with you guys, where I take your questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas.

This is an abnormal, irregular episode of the show. And we simply talk about what you guys want to talk about in terms of PlayStation and kind of the ecosystem.

And I think we're going to have a lot of fun. Got a ton of submissions over at Patreon.

And I've reduced that list down to 29 questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas that we'll go through today.

All things PlayStation going from PS1 all the way to PS5, what we assume will be called PlayStation 5 and everything in between.

Lots to talk about, really excited about it.

Before I proceed though, I should remind you that this show is supported on Patreon, on patreon.com slash Collins Last Stand.

And every week on Fridays, it goes live for the public, but you can get the show three days early by supporting the show on Patreon.
