We are mid-argument about this keyboard. The thing is, is you two were arguing there.

About 10 seconds before that, we were arguing. slash rooster teeth. Bring immediately. We are. Mid-argument about this keyboard. The way thing is, you two argue that.

About 10-6 before that, we were arguing. Yeah, we were intensely arguing. And now we're all friends for the next 60 minutes. Nope. Yes, solid. All right, good game. All right, no one wants to do with me. Fuck off. So here we are. Talk about games again this week. this week it's Gus, Bernie, Gavin. Hello. Hello.

So, uh, Nintendo Direct was today. I guess they had some announcements. Yeah, they, uh, they,

I got the update on my DS, early, or late last week, and then they just came out with the

Nintendo Direct, which is their version of, like, Mac World. Right. If you've never stayed up to watch Nintendo Direct. I don't watch any of that stuff. What's MacWod? It's where they go and they say, hey, everybody, we got a new trash can. Plug it in. That's Macworld, basically. So the newest update for the 3DS firmware adds that new street pass relay function. Yes. Now, that I did read up on. Which is interesting, an interesting change to the way Street Pass works. Right. What is the relay pubby? Before you had to come in close proximity to someone who was also using Street Pass in order to exchange your information. Now when you go to like a Nintendo Zone... In fact, whenever I walk in the office with my DS I I always walk up to Gus. I'm like this. That's not what you do.

You literally grab it and rub it on me.

You literally take your 3DS and rub it all over me.

Your 3DS is valuable now. It's not necessarily. It's not necessarily. It's also missing a layer of the plastic thanks to his acidic skin. So now when you go to like a Nintendo Zone area, basically your information stays there for a while.

So anybody else who comes by and access is that access point.

So you like leave a virtual ghost of yourself?

Right. Nintendo's own area, basically your information stays there for a while. So anybody else who comes by and accesses that access point. So you like leave a virtual ghost of yourself after you leave. And then other people can pick that up. So it's easier for that information to disseminate, since you don't have to actively be next to someone. Because day-to-day, if you carry it with you, you'll never run in anyone. Yeah, not in the in the US. In Japan, you get a lot of people.

But I can tell you that I did already hit one of those Nintendo Zones. The Austin Airport has one. Oh, okay. I know there's a lot of McDonald, Starbucks, like a lot of chains like that have them as well. Yeah, so it's not a, it's just a network, is it?

It's like Wi-Fi networks that are certified Nintendo zones that your DS will automatically connect to, you don't have to configure it.

So let me ask you. It's just a network, is it? It's like Wi-Fi networks that are certified Nintendo zones that your DS will automatically connect to.

You don't have to configure it.

So let me ask you this.

Kindle has a thing too where when you buy a book on Kindle, it automatically downloads the book via the cell network.

And I guess they have some kind of least space on the bandwidth spectrum with cell network. And I guess they have some kind of leased space on the bandwidth spectrum

with cell phone companies or specific cell phone companies, but we don't know who that is.

It's just you automatically get that. You don't have to pay for like any kind of data or anything
