Hey.

I'm back. You are.

Gus. Ashley, Ryan, Gus. It hasn't been the same without you guess.

I've been, I was sitting over there the whole time.

It's true. You were. Oh, no. We know that, but it still wasn't.

Yeah, so it was good to get a little refresher, but now I'm back to rule. You recharge your batteries? Ready for a podcast? Yes, ready for, ready for a whole hour of the patch. To rule the hourglass? Yes. So, a lot of great news. CES going on this week. Yeah. I feel like CES isn't typically a show you get a lot of great news. CES going on this week.

Yeah. I feel like CES isn't typically a show you get a lot of video game news out of.

Well, it's a good hardware show and where video games and hardware crossover than it is.

Right.

Otherwise, not so much.

Well, sort of, but at the same time, it's also not where you would expect a major console announcement or anything like that because it's too tech focused and not gaming enough focused. Wasn't the original Xbox first officially announced at a CES, I think? You know, I'm actually not sure. It very well could have been. It just seems like the gaming industry has been moving more into its own thing and a little bit further away from the tech sector. Like, I know that Ubisoft used to have a booth there every year.

I don't even know if they do that anymore.

A lot of games companies have moved away from that.

I think they're doing more PAC stuff and consumer-oriented stuff now.

Yeah, I mean, the original Xbox, I could see how maybe that would have been sort of their niche market for introducing it, though. That's a technology show, and that was a new technology, which is kind of the direction they were sort of launching that. I'm trying to look it up frantically here. It was announced in... If only we had someone sitting over there, fact-checking for us. It was announced in March, so that doesn't seem like that would be CES. No, that would be maybe a GDC. Oh, it was at the Game Developers Conference, yep. It was at GDC in 2000 is where it was first announced. There you go. Little known fact about a console from 10 years ago? 13? 13? Yeah, 13 years ago. Wow. Actually, not a little known fact either. I'm sure lots of people know that. So, um... And now more people now. Something that was announced was about a billion steam machines. Oh my God. So many. Everyone is making a steam machine. Yeah. Yeah. And they range in price from $500 to... To $6,000. Yeah, a billion dollars, maybe. I don't know. From competitive with consoles to why would you even bother? To expensive for a computer. Oh, I guess there's a mock-up of the Alienware one. That one's weird, too. That one is a little bit weird. Just in the, like they said, we're making one. by that one's weird, too.
