Hello, it's me, a talking steam deck, Bruiser, Holden McNeely.

Play your entire PC catalog on the go.

I don't know how to, I don't know.

There's no, I mean, I guess I could be like a half-life character or like a portal character.

Hello there, Mr. Freeman.

There you go.

I can tell that you maybe love video games and perhaps you've made some of the most

revolutionary games, both in terms of artistry and technical achievements.

But then you were run by a weird big libertarian millionaire guy who insisted that you have a leaderless flat corporate

structure that has completely paralyzed your ability to make anything. But don't worry,

you are also the single most unbeatable monopoly within the digital distribution of entertainment in the history of mankind.

So you are still making billions of dollars, even though your flagship franchise has had a

cliffhanger unresolved for 20-ish years.

Mr. Freeman.

Was that good?

Was that G-man? That was awesome G-man, bro. That was incredible G-man. And that was really good G-man lore, and I really appreciate that. And it's me, the heavy. I'm the heavy who touched my Sasha. Look, we're really burying the lead right here, Jake, but because, and stop talking like a complete idiot, okay?

Because we got to really get up front here.

People have always hit us up being like, there's a valve episode. It cuts off, like we're at a weird point in the episode. It's like, yeah. 12 minutes in. And, you know, what are you going to do? And we always said, hey, why don't we go back since this is lost to time, since,

you know, essentially that piece of audio exists somewhere in somebody's like cleave or something,

like it's cleavage, you know what anything or something like that? I don't know where it exists.

It's like in a desert tomb or something like that. It's like a single mega upload file that nobody has the password anymore.

I don't know what happened to that audio.
