The conversation concludes with a discussion about the ROG AliEx and Steam Deck handheld gaming devices.

"It's been like weeks now since we've actually recorded an episode."

"It's just like people getting together to play retro games."

"Every release of Doom and Doom 2 has been amazing."

"I don't wanna get it out and plug it in and put it on my head and move my coffee table out of the way and all of that other stuff that always stops me from playing VR."

"And when they're ready, I'm ready."

"So have you not beaten Half-Life Alyx then?"

"Valve is working on Half-Life 3? I believe that, absolutely."

"What if this turns into like aperture desktop too, right? Like black Mesa desk job."

"Half-Life 3 is in the same bucket as Winds of Winter from George RR Martin and Doors of Stone from Patrick Rothfuss."
