    Sorry for my recording quality during the interview. It's apparently a zoom server thing, where everyone else is fine but I struggle due to being VERY FAR AWAY from everyone else. We'll have it fixed in future episodes.

    I spend tens of hours playing every week and I rarely travel and if I do, I am not going to play games there so I wasn't sure if I would keep the Steam Deck. Now after 4 months I can say that I spend almost all my gaming time on the Steam Deck and it actually helped me rediscover and play games I would usually not play on the PC. I still have a beefy PC where I play more demanding games or VR, but during the week I actually enjoy picking up the Deck, sit down on the sofa and just continue playing where I left of the other day. I don't even have to close the game.

    Hey there Skill Up, just a correction: Natural Selection was not a horde shooter, nor was it anything close to one. It was a full-PvP asymmetric multiplayer game where the human team had a commander who played the game like an RTS, but his units were the players on his team, playing an FPS. The aliens had no commander until NS2, and were usually some form of melee or support character. Games would last 20-45 minutes, and the first, a Half-Life 1 mod, was my favorite game of all time.

    Man, Tiberian Sun was 24 years ago... I remember playing the absolute crap out of that when my dad wasn't kicking my ass at Red Alert 2. Tiberian Sun was my favorite one because it was just so weird compared to all the other games in the series. And the jump jet infantry was just the coolest thing ever. I always wanted a jet pack.

    Random recommendation but since you mentioned Cary Elwes - read his book about the making of that movie; it's absolutely required reading if you like him / Princess Bride. Loved it!

    That's the thing. EA, Ubisoft, Activision all started with those ideals of making great games. Now look at what they have become. I fear that history will repeat themselves.

      For valve I'm optimistic because they are private owned which means they don't need to please share holder and be kidnapped by short term gain. Gabe Newell is a visioner and is lucky enough that he started valve as a millionaire. It is very interesting that the company which is private owned is more open to customers than public owned company

    Ralph, please never stop making honest and unfiltered reviews! That´s what makes your reviews so trustworthy and of great quality. I (and most people I believe) trust your judgement and know that, even if I don´t agree with something, it comes from an experienced, honest and competent point of view, and that is great!
