Hello, everybody. This is Matthew Galt, the host of Cyber. I was going to briefly introduce what you're about to hear. All this past week, we did nothing but talk about Dune on Cyber. If you've noticed, there's quite a few episodes that have come out of that. We recorded them live as we are doing now on Motherboards Twitch channel, which is at Twitch.tv.

And we have Ed Onguizio Jr., motherboard staff writer and Dune Head.

this will be kind of satisfyingly, I hope,

drawing it to a close.

Because today, our topic
