Blessing Adeoye Jr. (1:52)

Greg Miller (1:53)

Don't let it overflow.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (1:54)

You know, it's bursting at the seams, whatever other...

Greg Miller (1:58)

You were good. You were good.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (1:59)

You were good.

Greg Miller (2:00)

You were animated. You were doing this. You know what I mean? I didn't know what was going on. It can't be contained, the Witcher in me. There's so much news today, so why don't let's jump into it. Of course, you can be part of the news by super chatting over on youtube.com/kindafunnygames while we're live. You can super chat with your thoughts, opinions, birthday shout outs, whatever it may be. We read them here on the show or at least try to. Of course, we wouldn't have a show if it wasn't for our producers on patreon.com/kindafunny. So thank you Omega Buster, Delaney, TheSompTwining, and of course, Michael, Pezza, Vento. For now, let's begin the show with what is and forever will be The Roper Report.

It's time for some notes.

Six items on The Roper Report.

Roger (2:40)

As our breaker doesn't.

Greg Miller (2:41)

We got a breaker, breaker, breaker doesn't.

Number one on The Roper Report, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares more details on Project Helix, quote, family of devices. This is Jacqueline Thomas over at ign.com.

As the next generation of console looms over the horizon, it's becoming clearer that Microsoft's Project Helix is going to be a whole lineup of gaming devices rather than one console. In a leaked memo sent to staff and obtained by Windows Central, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma described the company's plans for the next generation as involving a family of devices. This isn't the first time she suggested this, first hinting at it at Gamescom earlier this year. But in the memo, Sharma went into more detail on the range of hardware we can expect. Quote, we are moving to a family of devices for Gen 10, she reportedly said.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (3:32)

Why do you say like you're the president?

Greg Miller (3:35)

Because whenever you get into a memo from Big Sharms, you're going to get some presidential speak out here.
