0:00.0	What is up, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome to the WAN show. We've got a fantastic show lined
0:07.1	up for you today. Obviously, the big launch this week was the Valve Steam Deck. I've got
0:13.7	one here. Now we can talk about everything that was in our video, everything that wasn't
0:20.4	in our video. Luke can actually share some of his thoughts since we're not afraid of
0:24.6	breaking embargo. So you got a shorthands on with him, but that was it. He otherwise hasn't
0:28.9	touched it. I'll say I've used it for like five seconds. Yeah, we can get Luke's fresh
0:33.2	impressions of the Steam Deck. Yeah. In other news this week, tons of stuff, everything's
0:40.5	going crazy. Yeah, the shortage could get a lot worse. Turns out 90% of the neon used
0:47.2	in US semiconductors comes from drum roll Ukraine. That's not good for a variety of reasons.
0:57.5	And completely unrelated news, Sony's PlayStation VR 2 is we got some like little sneak peaks

1:19.8	Yeah, raises a lot of questions. That raises more questions than it answers, I think. Yeah.
1:25.1	When is he ever going to roll the intro? Who knows?
1:49.0	We should do a straw pull at some point to see what percentage of people that did buy
1:54.7	the steam deck have received their email. Oh, I'm super down. I just saw a bunch of
2:00.4	people post in the chat like, have received my email, have received my email. And I'm
2:04.4	really wondering because like, like I've told you, I ordered mine during the show. I have
2:10.7	not received my email. And I suspect like a lot of people haven't. I mean, I suspect
2:18.5	that they have pre-sold literally millions of units. And I also suspect that finished
2:23.9	units are going to be rolling out in batches of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, not
2:29.2	even tens of thousands. I would be very surprised if they're able to ship even 1 million units
