- Chris has been gaming since Christmas Day 1998, and still owns the original yellow Game Boy he received that day. It's proudly displayed alongside consoles he's collected from every generation since.

- Chris discovered Amazon Echo's ability to change his living room lights to purple, red, yellow, and green with just a voice command years ago, and has been pushing the limits of AI commands gleefully (and annoyingly for his family) ever since.
