AwesomeCast 758: We Got Custom 3D-Printed AT-ATs! + Steam Machine Reveal, Netflix Games, Star Wars Gifts & More!
AwesomeCast 758 delivers one of our most delightfully chaotic episodes yet — packed with 3D-printed Star Wars art, deep-cut gaming news, ridiculous retail promotions, and holiday tech fun.
We kick things off with Chachi’s brand-new Bamboo Labs 3D printer and the custom AT-AT sculpture he created for the team (complete with @-symbol pun engineering). Then Dave brings us back to Earth with a hands-on review of the Bissell CrossWave Hard Floor Expert, a wet/dry floor scrubber that literally “really sucks.”
In gaming news, we run through Chachi’s Video Game Minute featuring a DDR marathon world record, Amazon’s FutureTech-powered 2025 Game Awards, and Valve’s surprising return to living-room hardware with its new Steam Machine. We dig into Linux/Proton compatibility, the anti-cheat problem for multiplayer games like Fortnite, and where this system might fit in a world of Switches, Steam Decks, and Series X consoles.
Also in this episode:
Disney’s Star Wars Life Day Gift Guide (Loth-cats, Chewbaccas, pinball machines and more)
GameStop’s absurd Trade Anything Day rules (taxidermy = OK; liquids = NOPE)
A fan project recreating Century III Mall in Minecraft
Google Gemini 3 vs ChatGPT vs Claude: the coming AI assistant war
Netflix’s expanding game lineup including WWE 2K25, Red Dead Redemption, and new party titles
Plus: in the Patreon after-show we play “What’s In Katie’s Xbox Box?” and talk about cats in Christmas trees—because of course we do.
A perfect holiday-season episode filled with tech, toys, nostalgia, Pittsburgh weirdness, and a whole lot of awesome.
