See at Amazon (4K) See at Amazon (Blu-ray) See at Amazon (DVD)It took nearly a decade, but all-star illusionist group The Four Horsemen finally returned for another heist earlier this year when Now You See Me: Now You Don't hit theaters in November. The film is the third installment in Ruben Fleischer's crime series, following 2016's Now You See Me 2. While it earned mixed reviews from critics, most moviegoers found it to be another thrilling blockbuster. The film is still in theaters, but preorders for the 4K Blu-ray are already available, including a Now You See Me: Now You Don't Limited Edition Steelbook that's available for $35. We don't know the release date, but preordering locks in Amazon's price guarantee, making you eligible for any further discounts between now and release.
Now You See Me: Now You Don't Limited Edition Steelbook (4K) $35 | Release TBAWe still don't have a firm release date for this limited edition steelbook, but we do know it'll be sold exclusively at Amazon and will feature unique cover art with a slipcase that changes the cover art. Inside the fancy case, you'll find 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital copies of the film. No bonus materials have been announced, but we expect to find out more once we get a firm release date.
Preorder at Amazon Now You See Me: Now You Don't Standard Edition $35.55 | Release TBA
Now You See Me: Now You Don't is also available to preorder in a standard edition. Like the limited edition steelbook version, there's no release date or information on special features yet. Nevertheless, you can preorder it in three formats--the 4K Blu-ray is $35.55 (was $43), the Blu-ray is $33.11 (was $40), and the DVD is $24.49 (was $30).
See at Amazon (4K) See at Amazon (Blu-ray) See at Amazon (DVD) Now You See Me: Now You Don't Limited Edition SteelbookNow You See Me: Know You Don't once again follows the Four Horsemen, illusionists who use their impressive skills to not just pull off mind-bending magic tricks--but also pull off some of the most impressive heists the world has ever seen. The core cast remains intact all these years later, with big names like Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher reprising their original roles. The film is sitting with a "Mixed" score on Metacritic, though it could make for a fun watch if you're in the mood for a caper.
If you need to catch up on the first two entries in the series, Now You See Me is available on 4K Blu-ray for just $19.79 (was $23), while Now You See Me 2 on 4K Blu-ray is $17.13. If you don't mind picking up a DVD, the Now You See Me: Double Feature is just $10 and includes both films in a single package--just note it's a big step down in visual quality and lacks the special features of the standalone 4K UHD releases.

While we're still a couple of months away from Resident Evil Requiem's release, it looks like there could be a surprise return awaiting fans. Before it was removed, the PlayStation Store revealed new cover art for the game that featured longtime Resident Evil protagonist Leon Kennedy. PlayStation 5 players noticed the art on the pre-download screen for owners of the standard (non-Deluxe) version of the game.
IGN later confirmed the art, which showed a stubbled and haggard-looking Leon hovering over Requiem's other main protagonist, Grace Ashcroft. Leon appeared similar to his Resident Evil 4 look, with his fur-lined leather jacket, albeit a bit more grizzled.

— AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem (@AestheticGamer1) December 9, 2025Leon's inclusion in the game has been something that Capcom has vehemently denied, with even producer Masato Kumazawa denouncing alleged leaked images of Leon going around last month. "There has been a photo lately of Leon with an eyepatch, and just basically saying there's a DLC or a new costume for Leon--but just to make sure, these are all fake news," he told Stevivor in an interview, and added not to believe anything at face value.

Skyrim Is Now On Yet Another Platform, But There's A Way To Upgrade For Free
Yet another version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is here, with developer Bethesda Game Studios mega-hit RPG now available for Nintendo Switch 2.
Skyrim continues to conquer every platform imaginable, and this time it's specifically 2021's Skyrim Anniversary Edition that's available on Nintendo's new console. This new version of the game does come with a few additional bells and whistles not found in the original Switch version, namely Joy-Con 2 mouse-control support. It also sports improved load times and performance in addition to features found in the original Switch version of Skyrim, like Legend of Zelda Amiibo support, Zelda-themed items, and motion controls.
For those who already own the Anniversary Edition on the original Switch, the Switch 2 upgrade is available for free. Those who don't already own any version of Skyrim on Switch can buy it on Switch 2 for $60. Owners of the non-Anniversary Edition of Skyrim on Switch can upgrade to the Anniversary Edition for $20 and then receive the Switch 2 version for free. The Anniversary Edition includes the base game and its three official expansions, as well as access to Creation Club content made by players.

Nintendo Switch 2 Wheel Set for Joy-Con 2
See at Amazon See at TargetIf you're one of the many holiday shoppers who took advantage of last week's Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle promotion, you should check out this week's deal on the racing wheel attachment set. Nintendo's official Joy-Con 2 Wheel Set is on sale for $21.49 (was $25) at Amazon and Target. Deals on first-party Nintendo accessories are uncommon, so even though you're only saving $3.50, it's still a noteworthy deal. Designed for playing Mario Kart World with motion controls, the two-pack of steering wheels launched alongside the Switch 2 console in June.
Nintendo Switch 2 Wheel Set for Joy-Con 2 $21.49 (was $25)The official Nintendo Switch 2 Wheel Set comes with one light blue and one red attachment that match the color scheme of the Joy-Con 2 controllers. The textured grips are nicer than a lot of third-party wheels and Nintendo's attachments from the Nintendo Wii era.
Just like the Switch 2 console itself, the first-party steering wheels have magnetic connectors for the controllers. Large shoulder buttons (SL and SR) are built into the back of each wheel.
See at Amazon See at TargetConsidering the popularity of the Mario Kart World bundle deal, which ended on Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising if Amazon and Target sold out of this deal. Last week, Amazon sold out of all three of Hori's new Mario Kart World-themed Joy-Con 2 wheel attachments. Themed around Mario, Peach, and Yoshi, the officially licensed $15 wheels launched December 5. Amazon lists all three as "temporarily out of stock."
For a larger Switch 2 racing wheel, check out the recently released Joy-Con 2 accessory by Numskull. Officially licensed by Nintendo, Numskull's attachment is table-mounted and has slots for both controllers. It launched for $30, but Amazon has since raised the price to $33.83.

Save on Light Bars, Light Boards, and more
See at AmazonIf you're looking for a quirky way to light up your home for the holidays, Amazon is running a limited-time deal on the Govee x Pac-Man Gaming Pixel Light. Now available at its lowest price ever of $90 (was $140), the customizable LED panel comes with over 100 preset designs--four of which are exclusive Pac-Man animations that bring the retro icon to life. A bunch of other Govee products are discounted ahead of the holidays, which we've listed below in case you're looking for a fun last-minute gift idea.
Govee x Pac-Man Gaming Pixel Light $90 (was $140)This LED panel features a 52x32 grid of large pixels and can be mounted on a wall or placed on a desk with the included stand. While the display comes pre-programmed with Pac-Man art, it can also run animations and widgets, such as weather forecasts and scores of sports games. There's also a handful of Pac-Man animations and a small, built-in speaker that plays a variety of sound effects and music. It also offers 10 lighting-sync modes that mesh with other smart lighting and music playback devices in your home, and it's compatible with the Govee AI Sync Box 2 for advanced synchronization features. The display is controlled via a mobile companion app or with Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls.
See at Amazon Govee Gaming Pixel Light $80 (was $120)The Govee Gaming Pixel Light is smaller than the Pac-Man light above, but offers many of the same features, including support for various widgets, music modes, and a companion mobile app. Its 32x32 grid also makes it easier to wedge onto a cramped desktop.
See at Amazon More Govee Gaming LightsBeyond the Pixel Lights, Govee also makes several Light Bars and Wall Lights, many of which are on sale at Amazon. In fact, the Govee Gaming Wall Light is currently listed for its lowest price ever at $65 (was $120). They come with 61 preset scenes and support over 16 million colors, making them highly customizable. The Govee Gaming Light Bars are even cheaper at $55 (was $90). Most people toss these on either side of their gaming monitor and use them as backlighting. They support millions of colors and work with the Govee Home app. For something a bit more premium (and with real-time screen color sync), check out the Govee Gaming Light Bars Pro for $72 (was $120). And for anime fans, Govee's Evangelion Edition Glide Y Lights offer similar lighting features with a slick design based on the EVA Unit-01 from Evangelion. Check out more Govee deals below.

If nothing above looks like the right fit for your space, fear not. Plenty of other Govee gadgets are on sale ahead of the holidays. A few different Light Bars are on sale, and like the ones above, they should do a good job of throwing light behind your TV for a more immersive viewing experience. You'll find the standard Smart LED Light Bars for $30 (was $50), while the TV Light Bars are $39 (was $70).
Still have some decorating to do ahead of this year's holiday party (or planning to upgrade your lights for next year)? The Govee Icicle Lights are just $90 (was $150).

The chances of the Perfect Dark reboot rising from last summer's cancellation are slim-to-none. But two of the primary developers behind it, studio head Darrell Gallagher and director Brian Horton, have found a new home at Take-Two Interactive.
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier broke the story about Gallagher and Horton on Bluesky. According to Schreier, the duo will start their own studio under the Take-Two umbrella. However, there are currently no details about any games that they're working on.
Schreier previously reported that Take-Two came close to reviving the Perfect Dark reboot. However, the deal reportedly fell apart over which company would own the rights for the franchise. Regardless, it seems that both Gallagher and Horton made an impression on Take-Two that led to them being hired.

While Stranger Things is wrapping up after an almost decade run on Netflix, that hasn't stopped the Upside Down from seeping into places most wouldn't expect. Microsoft Flight Simulator 24's collab with Stranger Things has arrived today on Steam, cloud, Xbox, and, despite initial pushback, PS5. The crossover is more than skins; it even features Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman) from the original cast as you help the citizens of Hawkins escape the encroaching darkness.
"Enter the world of Netflix’s Stranger Things to help Hawkins, a town under lockdown, heavy patrols, and supernatural threats," it reads on the official PlayStation Blog. "And, if you’re ready to visit Hawkins, Indiana, even after the credits roll on the crew’s last strange adventure, you will be able to explore a highly detailed map and recreation of the town with more than 40 iconic locations made famous by the show."
Image Credit: SonyPlayers will take to the skies in a Bell UH-1H, also known as the "Huey" helicopter, a model primarily used for troop and cargo transport, medical evacuations, and aerial assault during the Vietnam War. In their civilian use, they're usually involved in humanitarian aid efforts, research operations, and search-and-rescue duties. While the expansion is free, players need to make sure their simulator is updated to the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, visit the in-sim Marketplace, then select the Stranger Things Expansion.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey is getting a Ninjago-themed makeover on Thursday, and for the very first time Epic Games will offer Fortnite versions of Lego characters--with Kai, Cole, Zane, and Jay from the Ninjago TV series all getting human-style Fortnite skins.
Kai will actually be the subject of the next Lego Pass--buying the pass for 1,400 V-Bucks, or unlocking it via Fortnite Crew, will instantly unlock both the Lego and Fortnite varieties for Kai. Progressing through the pass from there with XP in any Fortnite experience will grant you a number of Ninjago-themed builds that you can use wherever you like in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, or on your home lot in Lego Fortnite Brick Life.
The rest of the Ninjago gang will be available in the item shop on Thursday, and you'll be able to buy them individually or in a big bundle that includes all three and their accompanying accessories. Where are Lloyd and Nya, the other two members of the ninja squad from the show? We don't know, but don't count out the possibility they'll be added later--especially since the trailer description teases another major Ninjago update in 2026.
Continue Reading at GameSpotRumored Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Remake Has A Really Silly Title, According To Rating
Evidence of a remake or remaster of the fan-favorite Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is solidifying, with a listing from European content-rating board PEGI emerging.
According to the PEGI listing, the re-release of the Ubisoft classic is titled Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and it unsurprisingly has an 18 adults-only rating for violence, language, and in-game purchases. Ratings are generally a sign that a title's release is imminent.
"Resynced" is an amusing subtitle for a re-release, most likely referring to the in-universe Animus virtual reality machine that lets the player character experience historical events through an avatar, "syncing" them with memories of someone else from that time period. If you really want to make a stretch, "Resynced" could be a nautical pun.
Continue Reading at GameSpotOne Year Ago, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Reminded Us How Hilarious The Series Is
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is celebrating its one-year anniversary today, December 9, 2025. Below, we look back at how it uniquely translated the adventurous and comedic spirit of the original movies in video game form.
There are several expectations that come with an Indiana Jones video game--it's a legacy franchise and a known quantity, having chugged along across various media since the franchise's inception in 1981. Among the checklist items for any Indy game are whip-swinging traversal, puzzle-solving in exotic locales, and fascist-punching action.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle certainly has all of the expected elements, but studio MachineGames went far beyond what anyone thought an Indiana Jones video game could be. In a post-Uncharted world, it would be hard to blame a AAA studio if it just followed Naughty Dog's cinematic game formula, made Indiana Jones basically Nathan Drake with a fedora, and called it a day with little shame.

Stability is nice to have in life. And Nintendo clearly believes it's good for the company's hybrid consoles. That's why updates improving stability for Switch 2 and the original Switch are now available, bringing both hardware versions up to 21.1.0.
Nintendo started rolling out the new system updates for Switch and Switch 2 yesterday, December 8. Both patch notes are the same: "General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience." This is also the same language from a Switch 2 update in September, and stability patches have been joked about regarding Nintendo for years at this point.
However, last month brought a beefier update to Switch 2 and Switch. Nintendo added better visual clarity on the home menu regarding digital and physical games as well as GameChat improvements, for example. The patch did bring about more stability improvements, too.
Continue Reading at GameSpotIndiana Jones And The Great Circle Is The Real Successor To The Last Crusade
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is celebrating its one-year anniversary today, December 9, 2025. Below, we examine how it carried the torch of the classic films to create the best new piece of Indy fiction in decades.
Indiana Jones is one of the most revered blockbuster stories of the 1980s. Spielberg and Lucas' work on the original trilogy stands alongside Jaws and Star Wars as timeless classics that are worth revisiting regularly. The more recent entries--the Crystal Skull and the Dial of Destiny--do little to live up to the standard that the first three set. But the game Indiana Jones and The Great Circle brings everything about that original trilogy back, like a careful archaeological dig. It's the true successor to one of the original blockbuster trilogies.
As we hit The Great Circle's first anniversary, it is clearer than ever that MachineGames accomplished something the film series has struggled to for the last 20 years. The Great Circle feels like the real successor to The Last Crusade, not because it imitates it beat for beat, but because it understands the core ingredients that make an Indiana Jones story timeless. It is a globe-spanning mystery built on discovery and the thrill of pushing deeper into the unknown. It captures the charm of a character who is smart, stubborn, curious, and always one quip away from a bruised rib.
Continue Reading at GameSpotAI VTuber Neuro-Sama Finally Completes Hardcore Minecraft, But Some Aren't Happy
When I wrote yesterday about Neuro-Sama attempting to complete Minecraft Hardcore, I never imagined that she would actually cross the threshold a few short hours later and emerge victorious. During a nail-biting seven-hour stream, the AI VTuber ventured into the Nether, discovered a Stronghold, and (mostly) willingly leapt into the End Portal to take on the game's final boss--the Ender Dragon.
After days of tense grinding on her creator Vedal987's Twitch channel, Neuro's Minecraft Hardcore attempts became somewhat of a minor phenomenon due to her tendency to react in a way that no human player would. One minute she'd be hyperfocusing on digging straight lines down (like a termite, according to her fellow players Filian and Crelly), and the next she would be drowning in the middle of a lake. I'll be the first to admit I was joining the participants' weary sighs, wondering if it was an achievable feat.
Then along came run number 87. Crelly, as Neuro's unofficial new babysitter, spent the majority of the late game distracting Neuro, saving her from death. With a pumpkin atop her head--an Enderman won't attack you for looking at it with a carved pumpkin on your head, at the expense of the majority of your vision--Neuro wandered the overworld with Crelly, building houses, collecting flowers for Vedal, playing games of "tag," and pondering the world's most important questions. "Do you ever feel like all Vedal cares about is pretzels?" asked Crelly, while Vedal and Filian were in the dangerous Nether collecting Ender Pearls. "And it's so weird when he asks us to call him Big Pretzel, like, what is he thinking?" Neuro responded, before giving Filian and Crelly the nicknames of Milkshake and Big Milk respectively.

Since its official launch in 2021, Medieval Dynasty has given players a glimpse of life in the middle ages without any fantasy flourishes. You don't have to worry about dragons, wizards, or orcs killing you in this game, but you still have to survive in some harsh conditions. Now, a free update for Medieval Dynasty is adding some new touches for the game that go beyond mere survival.
There were pregnancies and children in this game prior to the Labor of Love update, but there are now more realistic depictions of it including visibly pregnant women, new animations and conversations, as well as a productivity boost for the player during the pregnancy and while the mother takes care of the child. In this game, players go on to play as their children after the death of their characters. Additionally, pregnant women will stop working during their second term.
This free update is also accompanied by a paid DLC called The Exquisite Pack. The cosmetic options include two new outfits: a dress and jewelry for a female character and something resembling formal wear for the men. The DLC also gives players an exquisite sword, new hairstyles and mustache designs, as well 13 emblem patterns for players' settlements.

As The Game Awards draws closer, everyone's attention right now is on a mysterious demonic monolith that is teasing something. First seen in the Mojave Desert--and described by TGA host Geoff Keighley as being pure "regal.inspiring.thickness" as it stood there--the monolith has now been spotted in Los Angeles. It's not clear if this is the same monolith as the one in the desert or a new one, and there's still no clue what this piece of aura-farming architecture is teasing yet.
One franchise that it's probably not linked to? Battlefield, as Battlefield Studios senior director of integrated communications Andy McNamara snapped a photo of the monolith and mentioned that it wasn't linked to EA's FPS franchise.
The tease from the desert is now in LA? pic.twitter.com/QLihqwQ9rF
— Andy McNamara (@TheRealAndyMc) December 9, 2025Beyond that, there have been plenty more guesses as to what the demonic monolith will reveal. Some people have speculated that it could be teasing the next Diablo 4 expansion or The Elder Scrolls 6--industry reporter Jason Schreier claims it's not related to either IP--and CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski has confirmed that it's not Lords of the Fallen 2 being hinted at. God of War dev Cory Barlog has also downplayed rumors that the next God of War game is what the monolith is alluding to, and the only surefire way to find out what's behind the magic door will be to tune into The Game Awards this week on December 11 at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET.

The Analogue 3D is earning high praise as one of the best 4K N64 emulators ever made, and it'll soon be available in a wide range of "funtastic" colors. As part of a highly limited-edition release, Analogue will offer its console with transparent shells designed to emulate the look of classic N64 consoles from the 2000s. Priced at $300 each, these will launch alongside matching 8BitDo controllers on December 10 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET and will be delivered before Christmas.
See at Analogue
Analogue says it spent over a year getting the colors just right for this release, and it collaborated with 8BitDo to replicate the look of the Funtastic originals. There'll be eight colorways to choose from: Jungle, Ice, Watermelon, Fire, Grape, Clea, Smoke, and a Gold model inspired by the legendary Toys R Us N4 console that collectors highly covet. The 8BitDo controllers will also be released in the same color set.

With the holiday season drawing close, it's not too late to grab a good deal on some new video games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The latest entry in Activision's long-running FPS franchise is already discounted to just $50 (was $70) at Amazon and Walmart. That's a nearly 30% markdown just one month after its launch. The deal applies to the PlayStation 5, PS4, and Xbox Series X Cross-gen physical standard editions, but we're not sure how long it'll be available at this price--and it looks like stocks are low on PS4 version--so it's wise to pick it up soon.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 $50 (was $70)The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 standard edition contains the full base game--which includes a new single-player campaign, multiplayer, and the latest iteration of the popular Call of Duty: Zombies mode. The Xbox version is a cross-gen edition that lets you play on either Xbox Series X or Xbox One, while the PS5 version is only for Sony's latest console. The PS4 version, however, lets you play the PS4 build of the game on either PS4 or PS5. Since the game is already out, you won't be eligible for any preorder bonuses that were offered before launch--but considering you're saving $20 on the game, that's a solid tradeoff.
See at Amazon See at WalmartIn our three-part Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 review, GameSpot reviewer S.E. Dorster scored the single player campaign a 7, while giving the multiplayer modes an 8 thanks to its expanded movement system that gives players more mobility options in matches. "Overall, the multiplayer package is really strong in Black Ops 7. The movement is fun and fluid, the gunplay is as satisfying as ever, and the map designs greatly improve the experience from last year. Combined with the smaller quality-of-life change and the futuristic themes, and Black Ops 7 feels like a fresh experience that avoids any dreaded fatigue." Likewise, Zombies mode remains as challenging as ever, returning to a round-based structure that pits players against progressively more dangerous hordes of the undead.
If Call of Duty doesn't grab your attention, Battlefield 6 is also on sale for $50 (was $70). Critics and players have praised the latest entry in EA's military shooter series for its fine-tuned gameplay, high-fidelity visuals, and destructible maps. And those looking for something outside the first-person shooter realm should check out another of 2025's critically acclaimed releases, Silent Hill F, which is discounted to $47.49 (was $70). This new entry in the long-running survival horror series expands the Silent Hill mythos with an all-new setting and protagonist, while still offering the kind of atmospheric horror gameplay the franchise is known for.

The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego Set (5,471 Pieces) $400 (was $460)This $460 Lord of the Rings set includes 5,471 pieces, and the completed build stretches 32.5 inches high (nearly three feet!). It's a massive and intricately designed kit with numerous modular structures. It's capped off with the Eye of Sauron, which illuminates for added authenticity.
While J.R.R. Tolkien never specified the number of floors in Barad-dur, the Lego recreation of the dreary and terrifying structure has five levels. On the main floor, you'll create Gollum's hideout, an armory, and a prison for Orcs with a cage that opens and shuts. Level two has a dining hall and kitchen. The middle floor contains Sauron's throne room. The throne itself has a secret passageway to the Palantir chamber--where Sauron does his magic crystal ball activities--which features several cool Easter Eggs, including a map of Middle-earth. Above the throne room is the Mouth of Sauron's study, and the top floor has the library with a movable ladder.
Barad-dur is 17.5 inches wide and 12 inches deep, so you'll need ample shelf space and nearly three feet of open space above for the tower spire.
The set comes with 10 minifigures:
- Sauron
- Mouth of Sauron
- Gollum
- Frodo Baggins
- Samwise Gamgee (Sam)
- Gothmog
- 4 unique Orcs
It also includes accessories based on the Peter Jackson film trilogy such as the One Ring, Sauron's mace, light of Earendil, helmets for each Sauron figure, various armor and weapons, and more.

At 6,167 pieces, Rivendell is one of the 10 largest Lego sets ever made. Unsurprisingly, it takes up a lot of space, too. The completed build is 28.5-inches wide, 19.5 inches deep, and 15 inches tall.
Rivendell is home to 15 Lego minifigures, including all of the members of the Fellowship, Bilbo Baggins, and several other characters:
- Frodo Baggins
- Samwise Gamgee (Sam)
- Gandalf the Grey
- Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry)
- Peregrin Took (Pip)
- Aragorn
- Legolas
- Gimli
- Boromir
- Bilbo Baggins
- Elrond
- Arwen
- Gloin
- 2 Elves
This highly detailed model features recreations of rooms from the movie, including Frodo's bedroom and Elrond's study. Rivendell is a modular build, which makes it a good one to piece together with a fellow Lord of the Rings fan; this also means you can remove sections from the main building and display them on different shelves, your desk, etc. This includes the section with the table where the pivotal Council of Elrond scene took place in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Lego's model of Rivendell features many authentic trappings and decor from the film, including various paintings, ornate castle spires, the white gazebo, statues, archways, flowers and trees, intricate roof tiling, bridges, an elven forge, and the Shards of Narsil. The paintings and statues nod to historical events in Tolkien's Middle-earth writings.

Similar to Barad-dur and Rivendell, The Shire comes with a bunch of minifigures--nine, to be exact.
