Chapter 1: What new features are coming to the PlayStation Portal?
And I'm like, they look gorgeous. They look stunning. Amazing. And then you see them in the trailer and it's like, why did you add all this nonsense on top of your beautiful sets? That makes sense. It just looks like shitty smudgy filters. Like, I don't know, man. I don't know. It's a musical, though. So, like, I guess. So, I want color.
I don't want it to be drab. It's crap. I've been trying to avoid actually like a lot of the trailer stuff, so I've not even noticed that.
I'm just saying like going in, I am very hesitant about it because what I've seen on my, this does not look like it's it. But everyone that's seen it that I know is like, Tim, it's freaking good. Reviews are great.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of people say it's good. IGN gave it a 9 out of 10, which is like the highest score they've ever given for a media thing for entertainment. So yeah, I'm super excited about it. I just want to defy gravity. And I just know. I just know that's what they're going to close on. And I'm like, oh man. I'm going to walk out the theater fucking tears in my eyes.
I hope they end on Defying Gravity, and then I hope the credits is just like a rendition of Defying Gravity again. Oh, I'm sure. Just do it a second time. Yeah. Oh, man. This isn't a show about musicals. No, no. It's a show about video games. Remember, this is kind of Funny Games Daily.

Chapter 2: How does Xbox Cloud Gaming enhance user experience?
That was stuff that we now are just used to, everyone's been using and understands how well it works for them or doesn't work for them, anything in between. This now being games that you actually own, Again, it's just a major step forward. I feel like this is huge because this then becomes a new standard.
In the same way the last couple years we've seen cross-play become not a feature but an expectation. I feel like this is the type of thing of the future of video games and also the preservation of the past to some extent as much as we can with digital things. At any point that stuff can change. But being able to play your library of games the way you want to where you want to, that's huge.
And the fact that they're investing in it I think is... is awesome and it's only going to allow more people to be invested in the Xbox ecosystem, playing Xbox games, wanting to invest in services like Game Pass because there's other services that they can trust.
Yeah. Yeah. My big thing with this, because I think this is wonderful. I love this as a step. And I think this is how you fulfill the vision of this is an Xbox, right? Like you have to make cloud streaming as available as you possibly can. And I think it has to be, you have to be able to allow people to play the games they own via cloud streaming to really fulfill that, right?
To really have the thing of, oh man, I really don't have to own the box. I can play it on my Samsung TV or my Amazon Fire Stick or whatever it is. I think my main thing with this And I guess, Tim, this will be a question for you as far as predictions and speculation station. Do you think... Thank you.
Do you think this should and or could get expanded out to more players beyond the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers? Because for me, that's still somewhat a bit limiting. I feel like this is something that more of your audience should be able to access.
I think there should be a cost associated with services like this because there's such a crazy cost to be able to make sure that they run well. I think that there's a product here that I do feel deserves financial backing in a way that I do think that opening it up to everybody, I think that that is like... There's potential concerns there of...
server cost and then we're just flushing money down the drain and it's like and then at that point it's not great it's then the service is gonna crumble yeah i guess and i guess this comes back to like just all the game pass tiers for me where i'm like ultimate still ultimate sounds expensive and maybe i should just look at the chart of like what is the lowest tier what's the middle tier i need like a personal snow bike mic just with me at all times to explain what the different things are but i would have assumed that this would be a thing that's just available to all like all game pass members and maybe not just the ultimate ones
Yeah, I mean, okay, that's the thing. If we're talking about just different tiers of Game Pass, I mean, I don't know. This sounds to me like an ultimate feature. This sounds to me like a premium, this is what you're paying for. If they're going to have an ultimate tier, I'm not necessarily saying that they should or need to, but if they're going to, I do think this is the type of

Chapter 3: What hardware is Valve reportedly developing?
Minecraft trailer, take two.
I am Steve. As a child, I yearned for the mines. But something always got in the way.
Get out of here!
But the call of the minds was too strong. So one day I started digging and digging until I found this. A wonderland where anything you can imagine is possible. As long as what you imagine can be built out of blocks.
Where are we? Wait, who are you again? Garrett the Garbage Man Garrison. Gamer of the Year 1989. Whatever. I barely think about it.
Welcome to the overworld. Big Dr. Disrespect in the dream, which is a little...
Oh, my God. This just makes no sense. Don't I know it. There are dark forces who want to destroy this world. If we want to stop them, we're going to need to create something big. Oh, my God. That's awesome. Let's go to the stash.
This is our decision. Nothing we can do. We've got the vision.
Now let's have some fun.
