Well, you guys are never going to believe this, but just yesterday morning, who shows up at my door, man? But Gabe Noel dropped off the new Steam Cube at my door and said, "Dunk, and now you're going to be playing with power." And he slowly backed away for about 10 minutes until I couldn't see him anymore. And I got to say, this thing is a beast. I mean, this thing makes the PS5 Pro look amateurish by comparison. and it truly represents the next frontier in the home console and entertainment space. That's what it says on the box. I really wanted to push this thing to its limits and see what it could do. And I'm absolutely blown away by what this thing can do. And I mean, we're talking up to 800 resolution, okay? We're

talking shadows are working. And I mean, it's like I'm really there with Gabe and it's innovating home entertainment and it's a stronger console than the Switch one technically. Working audio is always nice to see. And I remember when this came out on the PS4, you could tell that the machine was struggling to handle this game. Steam Machine to me, it's a dream come true machine. I like to call it the Dream Machine, but it's even stronger than the Dreamcast by a little. It's a great investment. Like cars, we're talking FPS out here, okay? I'm seeing 12 FPS. I'm seeing 15 FPS, 17 FPS. And I know this is all going over your heads, okay? But

for people in the know that like know more about the technical side of gaming. That's actually very impressive. One time I saw Dutch and I thought it was Uncle because you can't tell the difference on this graphics. And I thought that added a whole another layer to the storytelling. Final Fantasy remake. It's like they didn't even remake it anymore, which is a good thing because the old one was better and this game looks better on the Steam Cube than any other console. With graphics like this good, I'm on cloud9 and the story is even better on the Steam Cube. And the voice acting is better. Just makes everything better on the controls. When he was handing me the Gabe Cube, Gabe knew well said to me, "Dunk, you

might want to take a look in the CD drive and see that I put Grand Theft Auto 6 in there for you to drive around in." And it's amazing, you guys. I really cannot wait for you guys to get your hands on this. Rockstar and Game Noel truly gave us a gift to gaming with this game. The graphics are unprecedented. And we're talking anti-aliasing. We're talking about techniques that were once considered hypothetical in nature, now being achieved in real time at frame rates. Crackdown 3. Okay, this was the premier game of the Xbox One, Series XU, Series Deluxe. It could only be played on the most powerful of Xboxes, and now it's like Xbox never happened. It's like Microsoft never existed. Seeing how this

runs on the Steamcast, it's like Gabe Null is cracking down on Xbox and saying, "You need to do better if you want to stay in the same business that I am in Mario 64. Try Mario 100." Because the Steam Machine offers up to 100 megabytes of graphics and you feel it in this game particularly. Do you see what I am seeing? When I see this, I see the future of gaming visuals. And it is an incredible place where things seem so real because of the 20 fps and because of the rate traced and because of the frames per second.

Now, of course, I got mine for free, but if I had to guess, I would say this is probably going to be a $65 to $70 machine for what you get here. And it will cost $1,050 for the 512 gig storage version and $1350 for THE
