[upbeat music] This is Dan Durkin. We are recording in the middle of the, the greatest week for video game showcase reveals. We're currently in between the State of Play, the Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox Showcase is in a few days as well. How are you, how are you handling the hype?

Dan Durkin· Host0:21

Uh, I'm just going crazy. [laughs] I'm just going crazy. There's so many games coming out, and there's not enough time, Scott.

Scott Tailford· Host0:27

We finally get- There's not enough time ... to see more of Gears of War: E-Day in a good few days.

Dan Durkin· Host0:31

I know. I cannot wait for that. Like, literally, uh, that's the one thing that I'm, I'm looking forward to the most.

Scott Tailford· Host1:10

Scott Tailford· Host1:20

Dan Durkin· Host1:21
