[00:00] Well, you guys are never going to believe this, but just yesterday morning, it shows up in my door, man, but Gabe Newell dropped off the new steam cube at my door and said,

[00:15] , 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.

[00:27] It truly represents the next frontier in the home council and entertainment space. That's what it says in the box.

[00:47] I really wanted to push this thing to his 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

[01:01] and it's this stronger console than the Switch one technically working audio is always nice

[01:13] to see. And I remember when this came out in the PS4, you could tell that the machine was struggling to handle this game. Steam machine to me is a dream come true machine. I like to call it the dream machine, but it's even stronger than the dream cast by little.

[01:26] 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?

[01:38] But for people in the know that like no more about the technical side of gaming, it'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 nother layer to the storytelling.

[01:53] 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 cloud nine.

[02:06] And the story is even better on the steam cube and the voice acting. This makes everything better in the controls. When he was handing me the Gabe cube, Gabe knew well said to me, dunk.

[02:18] You might want to take a look in the CV drive and see that I put Grant, I've done a six 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 rock star and Gabe know well.

[02:30] Truly gave us a gift to gaming with this game. The graphics are unprecedented and we're talking anti-amazing. We're talking about techniques that were once considered hypothetical in nature. Now being achieved in real time at frame rates.

[02:45] Crack it down three, okay? This was the premier game of the Xbox One series XU series deluxe. It can only be played on the most powerful of Xbox. And now it's like Xbox never happened.

[02:57] It's like Microsoft never existed. Seeing how this runs on the steamcast, it's like Gabe knows it's cracking down on Xbox and saying you need to do better if you want to stay in the same business that I am in. My R64?

[03:12] Try Mara 100 because the state machine offers up to 100 megabytes of graphics and you feel it in this game particularly.

[03:27] 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

[03:40] in 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 dollar machine for what you get here. And it will cost $1,050 for the 512 gig storage version and $13.50 for the 2nd.
