    0:56 yeah that’s… not Half-Life: Alyx? unless its a workshop map
    edit: it’s not HLA, it’s a VR game called Ghost Town

    clean and simple No AI Bubble Bloat 💯

    Monochrome cameras = bad passthrough. And LCD panel without any meaningful brightness or HDR.. mh. Not really convinced. Doesn’t seem like an upgrade over the Quest 3.

      True, who needs a quest 3 when you have this.

    I have the same feeling about this as the SteamDeck!
    This is gonna be revolutionary, imo!

    Just hope they don’t put the cube at 800$. Otherwise, nobody will buy it.
    They should make a big move and put it at the same price as PS5 !!

    Will I be able to play Kingdom Come Deliverance in VR? that would be sick, I was always very curious about VR but now with Valve stepping in, maybe I’ll give it a chance.

    Just take my money Gabe. Glad they officially announced this before I was going to get a Quest 3

    Beyond excited.

    How much do you think its going to be? And does it run 4k/60fps in max/ultra settings?

    Good review. Now do please tell us the conversation about HL3 and when it comes out. Thanks.

    Kinda interested in the vr headset. Depend of the price.

  13. @BlackMambaFan124

    November 12, 2025 at 5:06 pm

    I have no interest in the steam machine just cause I don’t wanna deal with hackers on online games

    Metaquest is in trouble

    The hand straps! So glad they kept that. My favorite feature from the index

    I was going to buy the big screen beyond but not anymore.

    Ghost Town is incorrectly labeled as Half Life Alyx in this video

    November 12, 2025 at 7:36 pm

    For the car headset, I’m really excited for that, but I already have the Oculus 3 😅 so I don’t know if I should even get it, even though it looks cool. But that Steam controller, I’m sure I’ll be getting that for sure 😊

    So valve does a better box game console that Microsoft Xbox 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    November 12, 2025 at 7:54 pm

    If Valve pulls this off at affordable prices, I could see myself selling all my Quest 3s. This has the potential to wipe out all competitors. This is the most compelling gaming environment I have ever seen.

  23. @Goodboy38581

    November 12, 2025 at 7:54 pm

    Hopefully it’s only $ 500

Unboxing Apple’s New $549 AirPods Max 2 in Purple

At first glance, the AirPods Max 2 don’t seem like much of an upgrade from their predecessor. But when you factor in the improved noise canceling, sound quality, voice-calling performance and new features, they do seem to be about 20% better than the previous model.
