Ain't going to stop him. No, no, no, no. Made a protein smoothie this morning. Okay. So I'm like, I'm following my routine. That doesn't always happen where I do all the things that I want to do. One day after another, you got to keep it going.
That's good. How are you doing? I'm a little pooped. I stayed up late last night.
Why is Highguard's website down and what does it mean for players?
I got on the treadmill myself late last night. Yeah? I'm trying to find my time. Back in the day with you, it was in the morning. Now it's about the window from 11 to about 1 o'clock is my time.
What stock issues is Valve facing with the Steam Deck?
11 p.m.? Yeah. To 1 a.m. That's my time where I can give you an hour to get on it. Then how much sleep are you getting? Because if I go to the gym in the evening, I get home and I'm awake.
What happened to the G.I. Joe Snake Eyes game studio?
I can't just go to sleep after the gym. I mean, this is what wears me out, which is good. Because I don't get any motion all day. So I need this to wear me out. You know what I mean? But no, it's all good for me. It's just like I'm going to stay up until 2 o'clock in the morning anyways, Wes. I mean, I guess what? You're usually in here by games cast to the stream. So I guess you're not always here for KFC. No, I'm a 10 o'clock guy. Oh, okay. So that actually kind of lines up. I can see that. That's my time. But I'm feeling good, Bless. It's a little rainy outside. Yeah. I got a trip. I'm going to Oregon on Thursday. So if you're looking for me out there, Portland, Kevin, a little heads up for you. Looking for pizza and I'm going to the Rose Garden.
Oh, Rose garden. Now we'll be raining and snowing, but I'm still going to try to go. You're going to go to the Rose garden in the snow. I mean, you have to, right? It's like, what are the top 10 things to do in Oregon and Portland? I don't know, but the Rose gardens on it. Fair enough. Fair enough. I played a game last night. Tell me, played a couple of games. I played Mario tennis. Tell me, how's the Mario Tennis grind going? I got to A- rank. You go right to ranked and you play? Yes. Do you warm up or do you just say, I don't need a warm up? I don't need a warm up. You're ready to rank? Mario Tennis is second nature to me. I've played so much 64, it's just in my veins. It's in my genes. Locked in character and racket, what do you do?
Mario, Shadow Racket. That's the one that clones me. Perfect. Yeah. Not adjusting at all. Not adjusting. Locked in. I'm locked in until I hit a wall. Okay. And I've not hit a wall yet. What is the goal? Similar to your fighting games when you were doing that. Is it like three wins and outs, two losses and outs? How long do you play for? If I start on a win, like if I'm on a win streak to start off, then I'll go until I lose. Get it rolling. Yeah. If I'm just winning after winning, then maybe I never stop. Maybe I'm still playing to right now. I like that, I like that. And then what else did you play? Because I know you played a cool one. Yes, last night I played Reluded, which is the new African heist 2D puzzle platformer that continues to impress me.
It also kind of breaks my heart that I feel like this game came out at such a crowded time where there are so many games coming out, and I feel like it's getting lost in the flood.
