I've had a long week right now, and I'm ready for the weekend, but I've been having a ton of fun, and that's all that matters. I was going to say, we've been running into each other at events all week. It's been great. We just discovered our shared love of Pikmin.
We've just been nerding out about Pikmin, and I'm sure one of our incredible best friends out there, Lakerhead, just heard that and freaked out because they love Pikmin as well. They're the best. Yeah, we love Pikmin, you and I. I saw someone in chat say you almost died to a light breeze. Yeah, yeah. Light breeze almost took me down, Stella. A lot to tell you. You know what I mean? Okay. I need some time. Are you okay? You know what? We should have talked beforehand.
What is the new game revealed by the former Overwatch director?
I think, you know, I think you brought it up recently. You had something going on with your nose and feeling stuffed up. Sinuses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's what it was. I've been feeling that for the past two weeks. Okay. So I've just been really stuffed up in one nostril. And of course, that affects everything about you. So I'm just, I'm thrown off. Okay.
What does Valve's Steam Machine verification program entail?
And I've been telling the chat, I'm like, if you want to kill me, now's the time. Because I'm at my weakest. Okay. But just know I'm going to bounce back. That window will be closed. There's no honor in that, though. I want to fight you at your strongest. Thank you, Stella.
How did Pokémon Pokopia perform during its launch?
Stella, how are you doing? It's great to have you in the studio. I know you're going to be doing a bunch of stuff with us today because you're here for GDC, but how's your GDC week going? What have you been attending and doing?
What are the nominees for the BAFTA Game Awards this year?
Pretty good. Dude, I can't even name all the different games that I've been previewing, but I've been doing a lot of previews, a lot of, let's see, a lot of game previews, developer interviews.
What are the highlights from the Wee News segment?
There's one that I'm very excited to share, which is from a game called Sound System, which the original Guitar Hero devs have been working on, which is very cool. Yeah, it is as cool as you think it is.
How can listeners participate in the show through Super Chats?
So, yeah, that's probably one of my favorites that I've looked at. That's great. Of course, for all the best friends out there who know you and maybe some of the audience members that don't know you, Stella, where would all these previews and all the cool coverage that you're going to put out from your GDC go where we can watch it and find you? Yeah, it would be on my YouTube, Parallax Stella. And that's everywhere on Twitch and stuff as well. So, yeah. Find it all there. What have you been playing? Before we get into the show, one final question for our gal, Stella. What have you been playing lately? You know what? Honestly, I've been playing a lot of Abiotic Factor. Oh, great game. You played it? Me and the boys played it a long time ago.
Thanks to one of the best friends' recommendations. Didn't give it enough time. It's one of those games. You play it for a night. You laugh. You have a good time. You're like, I'll play that again. And then you got to really dive into that one. Yeah, it's really good. We were getting into like the... the really gritty part of the story.
