[0.00 --> 15.12] Welcome to the WAN Show, guys! The show where I and my co-host, Luke Slick Lafreniere, talk to you about the latest in technology and gaming and all that good stuff. |
[15.12 --> 30.38] You know what's funny is I do most of the talking on this show, but it still feels really weird to have this thing next to me. I was actually really hoping that Luke would be able to join me on the show this week, but that is unfortunately not possible because I haven't heard from him. |
[30.38 --> 43.20] He landed in Boston yesterday early morning, I think, or the night before. I don't even know. He flew out Thursday very early morning, so must have landed in Boston Thursday night. |
[44.02 --> 58.82] Other than getting a call from him, hey, we landed safely. Did you ever arrange a shuttle? To which I said no. I haven't actually heard from either him or Brandon, so they're going to be there doing all of our PAX East coverage, |
[58.82 --> 70.18] which you guys can look forward to finding on the channel over the next few days here. They're going to have a lot of emphasis on the Indie Mega Booth because that's something that Luke is super passionate about, |
[70.36 --> 81.30] but they are going to make the rounds to some of your favorite hardware vendors like Cooler Master as well as, I think they're going to swing by Kingston, and there's at least a couple other ones. |
[81.30 --> 93.24] Oh yeah, Intel for sure. Intel is powering our trip to the show, which I've mentioned on the last few WAN shows, so between Intel and Corsair, that is the entire reason that Luke and Brandon were able to go. |
