Retro World Order - Episode One (for real)

Remember when I said last episode was the official first episode? Yeah, well, I lied. THIS is the first episode! So welcome to the Retro World Order! Mike (On Second Thought with Mike & Matt [https://ostwmm.podbean.com/]), and Los (The Talking Place [https://thetalkingplace.podbean.com/]), are hyper focused this week! They only get distracted for about 20 minutes! But after trying to figure out why Los is the way he is with customizing his handhelds, and then talking up his Etsy shop [https://designingbyknight.etsy.com/] where he’s selling skins, they get into the meat and potatoes of this episode. The AYN Thor is now officially owned by both Mike and Los! Well, Mike had his for a few months, but Los just received his a few weeks ago. After a few days of having way too much fun customizing, his new handheld is finally set up. And spoiler alert: it is AMAZING.  Listen to the show to hear all about Los & Mike’s impressions of the Thor, what Mike thinks is the best handheld of them all (shhhh don’t tell the others!), and even a hands on impression of the brand new Steam Controller!  All of this, and more, so enjoy!  Links and Info Discussed AYN Thor [https://www.ayntec.com/products/ayn-thor?variant=46692546478272] - The handheld Mike has, and that Los has been waiting for since he ordered it a month ago. This is the current hotness that many are considering "the endgame handheld" [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ayn+thor] because it's so loved and versatile.
