Yeah.

We're here to talk about video games. Welcome to the past. What? It's a patch. It's a patch. It's a Gush, Jack, and Ray. I looked at the TV.

You did.

Yeah. We're here to talk about video games and what's been happening this week. What we do. Lots of stuff happening. Big week. Gamescom, man. Lots of stuff goes during games. When did it become a big show to do announcements at? Because I feel like three years ago, Gamescom was like a big, well-attended thing, but everyone announced the E3.

And then-

I feel like two years ago, Gamescom was like a big, well-attended thing, but everyone announced at E3. I feel like two years ago, maybe, like recently. Yeah. Now it's a big fucking deal. PlayStation had its whole thing at Gamescom. Microsoft had one too. They didn't show off games. They didn't make any major announcements though. Like four or five years ago, I contacted Gamescom on behalf of her reach your teeth to see if we could get a booth there just for the hell of except that it would be funny. I could not find someone to speak English to me. It's in Germany? Yeah, every email I got back was in German. I was like, fuck. Fuck. Just be like, da, da, ha, ha, ha. Oh, right. That's their language. That's not racist. that's what they say. They speak German. They say other things, but duh. Well, no, that's what Gus would say.

That's what they say. They say other things, but duh.

Well, no, that's what Gus would say. That's what they told me. Okay. Can I have a booth? Nine. That's the number nine. That's the respond. Jesus Christ. How much beer is that you're drinking right now? I'm going to get this drunk. Looks like a test tube

Looks like, wow

This is supposed to be a cariff for water

A caravan? that you're drinking right now. I'm gonna get this drunk. Looks like a test tube. It looks like, oh wow.

This is supposed to be a cara for water. A carra? Because I get thirsty when we talk on the patch. Yeah. So I bought it to, that way we would have some water here and I wouldn't get dehydrated. And I was like, I'll just put beer in instead. What's wrong with this? It's a water bottle. That is true.

That'll last a lot longer.

It's a lot bigger.

Yeah.

So anyway, yeah, so PS4 finally announced a launch date. Yeah, November 15th and then was it like two weeks later in Europe? Yeah, the 29th in Europe. That's weird. Because it won't celebrate Thanksgiving. That sucks for them though. Yeah, like why. But good for us. So I think it's a lot earlier than I was expecting.

Because I think up until now lot earlier than I was expecting.

Because I think up until now they've just been saying by the end of the year. Really? So I think a lot of people have been expecting like December. No. No, there's no way you watch a console before Thanksgiving. Right. Or after Thanksgiving, excuse me. But I mean, they had just been saying by end of year. year. I thought they'd have been saying holiday.

No, they've been saying this year.

So like, Microsoft doesn't have a release date.
