What did Phil Spencer confirm about the Xbox handheld?
Yeah. All good.
How's easy allies doing down there? I, it's been way too long since I've seen any of you.
Yeah.
So thank you for coming through today.
It's fun to be up here. I never get to come up to SF, so it's really cool. Yeah. But LA is good. It's warmer.
How's my baby boy Huber doing?
Yeah.
Everyone go send Hubert some sweet nasty love. All right.
Is Microsoft still pursuing acquisitions after buying Activision Blizzard?
He deserves it. Ask me that two weeks ago. The answer is he's great. Yeah. But yeah. No, we're good. Yeah, we're good. It's fun. It's crazy. You know. Yeah.
What you been playing recently?
I've been playing. I just got an iPhone for the first time like two days ago, which has been very emotional because I've been an Android person for like 100 years. So I was trying out like Warframe on that. I was playing Alien Isolation on that.
So why? It's pretty cool.
Why now? Just need some change? I just did it. I don't really know. Are you enjoying the experience so far? I've gone insane. It's good so far, I think. It's kind of good.
How's the gaming on it for you?
Actually pretty good. The screen is really good. I'm a convert. It's a boomer phone in some ways because it doesn't let you do certain things, but I like it otherwise.
Could Xbox exclusives like Halo go multiplatform?

Wasted Bandwagon in the chat says, feeling younger in my mind. Thank you for catching the not-so-subtle Superman from Tony Hawk's Pro Whoa, okay. We no longer have to choose between frame rate, resolution, and quality. So it's all okay. You can go to kindoffunny.com slash store for a limited time and get sweet hoodies like the one I am wearing right now. I wore it yesterday. I'm wearing it again today. It's good enough for a back-to-back, everybody. And I got so many compliments yesterday. Isla, yesterday I went to go play a preview of Power Rangers Rita's Rewind.
Ooh, that looks good.
I don't know when I'm going to talk about it, but soon. Soon I'll talk about it. And I went to Digital Eclipse's studio, and I've never been there before. Really cool spot. Their lobby is a full-on 80s arcade. Oh, I love that. They have the rug and the black lights, tons of real arcades, arcade machines, full bar. Like they just went hard with this.
What is Sony teasing for PlayStation's 30th anniversary?
And we had maybe like an hour before the event started to just kind of hang out. And they had a DDR extreme machine. And I was like, I looked at that and the temptress that is DDR. I can't say no.
Yeah.
So I played, and I don't got it like I used to. You know what I mean? My brain can see the arrows. My body understands it, but I just can't get there as fast as I need to. I got through one and a half songs, and, you know, DDR usually plays three songs. I'm one and a half in, and I'm like, I don't know if I have one more in me. Do I have this? I don't know if I have it in me. I did it.
