- We've got ! And Russell's the perfect person to run it.
- We'll absolutely continue to cover the mobile side of VR here, of course.

- I couldn't care less about the . Ship products. That's all.
- Speaking of shows ... . It's also fun to hear Brits with funny Southern accents.
That's it for this week. Gonna be lots going on Monday morning. Stay tuned.
