* Prime Day* Xbox deals* Nintendo deals* Did you guys shop Prime Day? I glanced around, nothing I really needed… discounts were pretty good but not enough to make me buy something I wouldn’t have already decided if I wanted or not. I picked up a couple things.

* Nintendo - Switch Lite $199 in September  Think this is X-Mas gifts for kids or Daddy* Mario Maker insane level @YTSunnys 

* Big budget TV shows* See - costs $15 million per episode * The Mandalorian might cost upwards of $100 million for 10 episodes * Game of Thrones costs per episode           * Stranger Things 6-8 million, The Crown $13 million, Band of Brothers $12 million, 

* Area 51 raid September 20th* Just don't. And if you try… I better hear about some dead bodies of stupid people needing cleaned up. 

* No smoking Sorry no smoking allowed in gears 5 * no smokes for Dizzy 

* Surrogate raises $2m in seed round Funding will go toward development of "Surrogate Reality" portfolio of games * According to Shane Allen, the CEO of Surrogate, Surrogate Reality is the closest possible thing to experiencing something in real-life over the internet. * Nothing against Shane and Surrogate, but I think if we came up with a catchy phrase we could raise a ton of ‘seed money’ too. Should we give it a shot? What is coined term that our weird venture going to be? * Augmented Co-OP
