Gamescom 2019 Opening Night live report Geoff and Koj, sitting in a tree, showing us gameplay of Death Strand-i-n-g. Blog by Martin Robinson Editor-in-chief Updated on 20 Aug 2019 654 comments Well, that was long. But we did get to see Death Stranding gameplay - it's weird - and a bevvy of announcements. Here's eveyrthing as it happened. Our live coverage of this event has finished. Coverage 17:39 pm UTC And with that, welcome to the last show of the night! – Martin Robinson 17:56 pm UTC Wow I go to the fridge to get a beer and I come back to you all talking about Fred Harris and Andi Peters. – Martin Robinson 17:56 pm UTC I really love you lot. – Martin Robinson 17:57 pm UTC For this - and for Geoff - I have relocated to my shed. Let's make magic happen. – Martin Robinson 17:59 pm UTC So, what to expect? – Martin Robinson 17:59 pm UTC Well, after the Stadia shit show, let's go in expecting absolutely nothing and then reel in wonderment as they manage to limbo under those low, low expectations. – Martin Robinson 18:00 pm UTC riceNpea: I even miss Cybernet. I wasn't total shit. But I really miss Digitiser. Every morning, I mentally type in page 370 in the great Teletext index in my head and try to go back to those better days. – Martin Robinson 18:01 pm UTC Update - the internet in the shed wasn't good enough for 1080p Geoff, which is my own personal minimum requirement. So I'm back in the living room. – Martin Robinson 18:01 pm UTC And here he is! – Martin Robinson 18:02 pm UTC He's all dressed up and everything. – Martin Robinson 18:02 pm UTC He looks like he's about to bowl into a stand-up routine. – Martin Robinson 18:03 pm UTC Peter Kay-esque. "'ooo 'ere remembers the Spectrum? What were that about?" – Martin Robinson 18:03 pm UTC Rodd, fresh from Inside Xbox, is here on stage. No outfit change, but that's understandable. – Martin Robinson 18:03 pm UTC A new campaign trailer. And already I feel this is delivering more than the past three hours have. – Martin Robinson 18:04 pm UTC It looks well nice. Especially now my stream is working and it's giving me sweet 60fps. – Martin Robinson 18:05 pm UTC Zero lag or stuttering. Google, take note. – Martin Robinson 18:05 pm UTC GUNS! MUSCLES! NINE INCH NAILS! – Martin Robinson 18:05 pm UTC I want to be in the smelly dark basement of my parent's place in Oregon smoking the cheapest weed, drinking Pabst and playing this right now. – Martin Robinson 18:06 pm UTC 4K/60fps on X - was that not the case with Gears 4? – Martin Robinson 18:06 pm UTC INSOMANiAC: I'll bet non of you remember CyberZone with Craig Charles. An utterly awful VR thing in the 90's that ran for one series on BBC2. Even Youtube doesnt want to remember it, theres one clip. I remember... – Martin Robinson 18:06 pm UTC Most days I wish I didn't. – Martin Robinson 18:07 pm UTC Kiliko: Would love to be arsed about Gears but there's just something so bland about it all I just love the out and out chunk of it all. It's like smashing together big toys and makes me feel like an angry toddler. Well, more like an angry toddler than I usually feel. – Martin Robinson 18:08 pm UTC Gears is out sooooooon. September 10th, fyi. – Martin Robinson 18:09 pm UTC Gears 5 wins award for best Xbox game at Gamescom. I'm not sure what other Xbox games it was up against, but still well done. – Martin Robinson 18:09 pm UTC Some brand new things! – Martin Robinson 18:10 pm UTC It looks like Disintegration, the new shooter from ex-Bungie lad Marcus Lehto. – Martin Robinson 18:10 pm UTC Oooh, a new Comanche. Well, that is a surprise. – Martin Robinson 18:11 pm UTC I'll take that. – Martin Robinson 18:11 pm UTC People diss Geoff, but compared to what's preceded him he's got a easy, relaxed vibe that's helping this flow. – Martin Robinson 18:12 pm UTC First gameplay of Comanche - it's going into early access next year. – Martin Robinson 18:12 pm UTC HAVE THEY KEPT THE VOXELS. – Martin Robinson 18:12 pm UTC Dear reader, they did not keep the voxels. – Martin Robinson 18:13 pm UTC Nukklear is the dev, THQ Nordic is the publisher, PC is the platform. AND COMANCHE IS THE GAME! – Martin Robinson 18:13 pm UTC And here's some more drones, and one of those amazing moments when the camera doesn't cut away quickly enough and the smile on Geoff's face begins to crack. – Martin Robinson 18:14 pm UTC This is what I live for. This is live video games. – Martin Robinson 18:14 pm UTC Need for Speed Sheeeeeeiiiiit. – Martin Robinson 18:14 pm UTC I just thought of that joke just now well done me. – Martin Robinson 18:14 pm UTC Here's our first look at gameplay of NFS Heat. – Martin Robinson 18:15 pm UTC I wish I could be more excited, but it's really not the Fast and Furious game it should be. – Martin Robinson 18:15 pm UTC I wish Slightly Mad Studios would hurry up with their own Fast and Furious game, if it's still happening. – Martin Robinson 18:16 pm UTC There's a day/night mechanic, with the police more aggressive at night. It could be good. It should be good. Will it be good? I don't know. – Martin Robinson 18:17 pm UTC Nice customisation options, too - they've gone to town with an R8 and it looks suitably disgusting. – Martin Robinson 18:17 pm UTC OH AND YOU CAN PIMP YOURSELF! – Martin Robinson 18:17 pm UTC This really, really should be amazing. No Supra no sale though. – Martin Robinson 18:19 pm UTC And NFS Heat, which lets you build a ride on your phone, is now on Android. – Martin Robinson 18:20 pm UTC Here's a new first. Geoff does know how to put these things together, doesn't he? – Martin Robinson 18:20 pm UTC It's a Private Division game - and it has space. – Martin Robinson 18:21 pm UTC And M83, because the people who make these trailers still think it's 2011. – Martin Robinson 18:21 pm UTC It's Kerbal! – Martin Robinson 18:23 pm UTC The sequel, coming next year. And here's another announcement. – Martin Robinson 18:23 pm UTC Geoff! Stop it! You're making me blush! – Martin Robinson 18:23 pm UTC It looks a lot like Little Nightmares 2. – Martin Robinson 18:23 pm UTC Probably because it is Little Nightmares 2, from the brilliant Tarsier Studios once again. – Martin Robinson 18:24 pm UTC Another 2020 game, coming to Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. And PC. – Martin Robinson 18:26 pm UTC Is that it for the announcements? – Martin Robinson 18:26 pm UTC Oh, we've also got a new look at Death Stranding coming too. – Martin Robinson 18:26 pm UTC Media Molecule gets an award! – Martin Robinson 18:28 pm UTC Geoff loves his awards. Couldn't go a whole night without giving a couple out. – Martin Robinson 18:28 pm UTC Bet he's awkward like that on a night out. Gives the lad at the curry house an award for outstanding service. Pretty sure that lad would have rather had a tip, Geoff. – Martin Robinson 18:28 pm UTC God you're so tight Geoff. This is why we don't invite you out anymore. – Martin Robinson 18:29 pm UTC Anyway here's Predator, which looks very Predator and maybe a bit too much like the 2010 Rebellion game (which, you know what, I kind of liked). – Martin Robinson 18:30 pm UTC But that's the wrong opinion? Although Predator 2 can be quite lol. – Martin Robinson 18:31 pm UTC A bit of work to be done on Predator Hunting Grounds, but there's still plenty of time to go on that one. – Martin Robinson 18:31 pm UTC Here's Iceborne - which, I can confirm, is absolute nails. – Martin Robinson 18:31 pm UTC I think this one's trying to win back the hardcore who might have been turned off by vanilla Monster Hunter World. – Martin Robinson 18:33 pm UTC Yager up next. I forget what they're working on. – Martin Robinson 18:33 pm UTC Since Dead Island 2 went to all the other devs. – Martin Robinson 18:33 pm UTC Oh, they're making The Cycle! – Martin Robinson 18:33 pm UTC It's got guns in it. – Martin Robinson 18:34 pm UTC And that's in early access now. – Martin Robinson 18:34 pm UTC Kami: Whatever happened to Dead Island 2? Don't know how to tell you this, but after it went through like seven different studios it turns out you're making it now. Get a rush on will you. – Martin Robinson 18:36 pm UTC A new trailer for Life is Strange 2's fourth episode. – Martin Robinson 18:36 pm UTC It's bang afer bang after bang after bang. – Martin Robinson 18:38 pm UTC Geoff just got a whatsapp from his boyfriend and he's really excited about it. – Martin Robinson 18:38 pm UTC Here's that Sega announcement! They're doing a Civ-baiting game with Amplitude. – Martin Robinson 18:39 pm UTC I hope the end game does have cavemen rocking out, because I am in if that's the case. – Martin Robinson 18:40 pm UTC It's a caveman in space, rocking out. What's not to like? – Martin Robinson 18:40 pm UTC And that's Humankind - coming next year. – Martin Robinson 18:41 pm UTC Here's Borderlands 3. No Randy. – Martin Robinson 18:41 pm UTC *snap* – Martin Robinson 18:41 pm UTC Well, Ice T is in Borderlands 3, so that's something. – Martin Robinson 18:42 pm UTC Kiliko: Bored-erlands 3 *applauds* – Martin Robinson 18:42 pm UTC INSOMANiAC: ClapTRAP you cunts! *standing ovation* – Martin Robinson 18:44 pm UTC A new game is inbound! – Martin Robinson 18:44 pm UTC Or at least one you might not have heard of before. – Martin Robinson 18:44 pm UTC It's a German one! – Martin Robinson 18:45 pm UTC It's made in Unreal Engine! – Martin Robinson 18:45 pm UTC It's got spaceships! – Martin Robinson 18:45 pm UTC It's by Rockfish! – Martin Robinson 18:45 pm UTC Oh it's Everspace 2. – Martin Robinson 18:46 pm UTC Geoff, mate. Were you having us on? – Martin Robinson 18:46 pm UTC I think some people might have heard of that one. – Martin Robinson 18:46 pm UTC Anyway it looks great. – Martin Robinson 18:46 pm UTC Really spacey and shippy and explosiony. – Martin Robinson 18:47 pm UTC AddressUnknown: lol 2021 game branded as PS4 and Xbone. That is odd - I spotted earlier they just had the Xbox and PlayStation logos rather than console specific ones for some games. – Martin Robinson 18:47 pm UTC SWITCHER. – Martin Robinson 18:47 pm UTC If you are interested in how this is shaping up for the Switch, it's worth keeping an eye on the site. – Martin Robinson 18:48 pm UTC I think it looks decent, and as someone who's bounced off the game a couple of times I'm looking forward to doing so all over again come October. – Martin Robinson 18:48 pm UTC Oh it's out on October 15th! – Martin Robinson 18:49 pm UTC 'Now we're going to talk about FIFA 20'. – Martin Robinson 18:49 pm UTC Please don't. – Martin Robinson 18:49 pm UTC PES looks good this year though, doesn't it? – Martin Robinson 18:51 pm UTC FIFA really is the worst of video games. That bit where it was actually good between 09 and 13 seems like a distant dream, an odd little blip. – Martin Robinson 18:52 pm UTC If somehow their nefarious ways means that lizard in a suit Andrew Wilson gets jail time though it'll all be worth it. – Martin Robinson 18:52 pm UTC Anyway, FIFA 20. It's got keep-ups in it! – Martin Robinson 18:52 pm UTC Oh my god. And it has teeth. So many teeth. – Martin Robinson 18:53 pm UTC Well, this is a novel new take on the 'cheer that' formula. – Martin Robinson 18:53 pm UTC So, *this* is Disintegration, which is from ex-Bungie man Marcus Lehto. – Martin Robinson 18:53 pm UTC Marcus, you've just left Bungie. The world's your oyster. Make whatever game you want to make. – Martin Robinson 18:54 pm UTC 'Can I make Halo again plz' – Martin Robinson 18:54 pm UTC Oh alright then. – Martin Robinson 18:55 pm UTC Cayde 6 lives! – Martin Robinson 18:56 pm UTC The dev is V1 Interactive, some 30 people working out of Seattle. – Martin Robinson 18:56 pm UTC It's a first-person shooter with RTS elements. – Martin Robinson 18:57 pm UTC So it kind of sounds like it honours the original vision for Halo? Maybe. I dunno. I've only seen a couple of minutes of it. – Martin Robinson 18:58 pm UTC Well, I'll be interested to see how it plays - and it's playable this week at Gamescom. – Martin Robinson 18:58 pm UTC Darksiders Diablo next. – Martin Robinson 19:00 pm UTC It's a Tequila Works game for Stadia - one that I forgot about, even having just sat through the interminable Stadia presentation earlier. Oh, that's because it wasn't there! – Martin Robinson 19:01 pm UTC What is a womangirl Geoff. – Martin Robinson 19:01 pm UTC Because it might have made it interesting? – Martin Robinson 19:04 pm UTC I don't understand what's going on but I feel admonished. – Martin Robinson 19:04 pm UTC Nintendo won an award! – Martin Robinson 19:04 pm UTC Well done Nintendo. – Martin Robinson 19:05 pm UTC Say hi for me please. – Martin Robinson 19:05 pm UTC Look, I let you have Predator 2. But you've gone too far this time. – Martin Robinson 19:06 pm UTC More on Destiny 2 now. Can I move onto the strong stuff yet? Mentally I was only prepared for an 8pm finish. – Martin Robinson 19:07 pm UTC Eris Morn is back, so is the moon, so are wizards too I guess. – Martin Robinson 19:08 pm UTC The momentum has been sapped dry from this show. – Martin Robinson 19:08 pm UTC DesTwoNy. – Martin Robinson 19:08 pm UTC Toaster05: Think about that sweet OT pay Martin Lol. – Martin Robinson 19:08 pm UTC Great, those angry fax machines The Vex are back. – Martin Robinson 19:09 pm UTC I can't hear an old school dial-up tone without having flashbacks to The Vault of Glass and the countless hours I wasted there. – Martin Robinson 19:09 pm UTC INSOMANiAC: Deuxtiny Ok you win. – Martin Robinson 19:10 pm UTC Well, that's Destiny 2 Shadowkeep. – Martin Robinson 19:10 pm UTC And this! – Martin Robinson 19:10 pm UTC This is... – Martin Robinson 19:10 pm UTC I don't know. – Martin Robinson 19:11 pm UTC Oh, I'm told it's Remothered. – Martin Robinson 19:11 pm UTC Which I'm also told by Eurogamer's Matt Wales is quite good. – Martin Robinson 19:12 pm UTC That counts as a reveal. You can have that, Geoff. – Martin Robinson 19:12 pm UTC Also is that the first dubstep of Gamescom 2019? – Martin Robinson 19:13 pm UTC Waiting for AddressUnknown with: 'Opinion. Dubstep is alright actually.' – Martin Robinson 19:13 pm UTC Someone's brought his son onstage. – Martin Robinson 19:14 pm UTC I think it must be bring your kid to work day. The little one looks quite shy, but he's doing okay! – Martin Robinson 19:14 pm UTC One day you might get a real job too, young one. – Martin Robinson 19:14 pm UTC (Says the man sitting on his sofa being an arsehole on the internet). – Martin Robinson 19:14 pm UTC Here's a new trailer from Sony! – Martin Robinson 19:15 pm UTC IS IT DEMON'S SOULS? – Martin Robinson 19:15 pm UTC It is not Demon's Souls. – Martin Robinson 19:15 pm UTC It looks like one of the Wales Interactive FMV games. – Martin Robinson 19:15 pm UTC Or maybe the Demon's Souls remake has got one hell of a twist? – Martin Robinson 19:16 pm UTC ACTING! CHOICES! MORE ACTING! – Martin Robinson 19:17 pm UTC Erica - which I've actually heard good things about? – Martin Robinson 19:17 pm UTC Jack Attridge is a very smart guy, so I'm interested in what this one's doing. – Martin Robinson 19:18 pm UTC I think this was announced back at Paris Games Week an absolute age ago. – Martin Robinson 19:18 pm UTC As in looks like a funeral up on stage at the moment? – Martin Robinson 19:20 pm UTC I once went to a 70mm screening of 2001 and some wazzock in front of me was trying to film it on his phone. He also got really indignant when I told him to stop. – Martin Robinson 19:20 pm UTC Also, while we're playing this game. – Martin Robinson 19:20 pm UTC Opinion: Fast and Furious 7 is better than 2001. – Martin Robinson 19:21 pm UTC The Farming Sim league has its tournament at Gamescom, and I think that's the biggest cheer there's been all show. – Martin Robinson 19:22 pm UTC I don't know who this guy is but I respect his hat. – Martin Robinson 19:22 pm UTC INSOMANiAC: Fletch Lives is better than 12 Angry Men Truth. – Martin Robinson 19:22 pm UTC AddressUnknown: Opinion. Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift better than 2001. No lies detected. – Martin Robinson 19:23 pm UTC Two hours though. – Martin Robinson 19:23 pm UTC Two hours! – Martin Robinson 19:24 pm UTC It is very good! But it's no Fast and Furious 7. Nothing ever could be. – Martin Robinson 19:25 pm UTC I'm not even joking about Fast and Furious 7. Like, have you seen Orson Welles' A Touch of Evil? You know how good the first five minutes is? – Martin Robinson 19:25 pm UTC Imagine that BUT FOR A WHOLE FILM. – Martin Robinson 19:25 pm UTC The Rock just got married today! – Martin Robinson 19:25 pm UTC That is a 100 per cent, verified fact. – Martin Robinson 19:26 pm UTC Look, I know it sucks sometimes when video game sites start writing about films and whatnot. But can I get your permission to make 50 per cent of the content on Eurogamer about the Fast and Furious series? – Martin Robinson 19:26 pm UTC Sorry, I stopped watching the show. Is it Anno or something? – Martin Robinson 19:27 pm UTC Oh it's Port Royale 4. Sorry, my bad. – Martin Robinson 19:28 pm UTC You've got to play to your audience, though, so it's understandable they've gone deep RTS for Gamescom. – Martin Robinson 19:28 pm UTC And on that note, here's Iron Harvest. – Martin Robinson 19:28 pm UTC AddressUnknown: Yes. Permission granted. Thanks. Printing this out and presenting it to Oli tomorrow morning. You won't regret it. – Martin Robinson 19:29 pm UTC CrashOkami: Martin, I'd take 50% more F&F for 50% less Fortnite etc. Permission granted. Ha, ok. Duly noted, will also present this to da management. – Martin Robinson 19:30 pm UTC AddressUnknown: What is the point in the awards? They're nice to show your mum who always ask what your job actually is. – Martin Robinson 19:30 pm UTC spinoir: Grid from Koch media? Coke media, darling. – Martin Robinson 19:31 pm UTC Modern Phwoarfare is up next. – Martin Robinson 19:32 pm UTC They should call it that though it totally nails the tone they're going for. – Martin Robinson 19:33 pm UTC I regret to inform you that no, he is not. – Martin Robinson 19:33 pm UTC It's an absolute crime. – Martin Robinson 19:34 pm UTC A Modern Warfare alpha is inbound, people. – Martin Robinson 19:36 pm UTC HERE COMES KOJ. – Martin Robinson 19:36 pm UTC Oh man. – Martin Robinson 19:36 pm UTC I'd be cynical, but seeing true love like this is quite touching. – Martin Robinson 19:37 pm UTC It all began when Geoff heroically broke Koj out of that gulag. – Martin Robinson 19:37 pm UTC I wonder if Koj thinks this is all a bit weird. – Martin Robinson 19:37 pm UTC Has Keighley in his phone as 'Creepy Geoff'. – Martin Robinson 19:38 pm UTC It starts buzzing, Koj sees it's creepy Geoff, rolls his eyes. He can't ignore another call. He'll have to make up some bullshit excuse. – Martin Robinson 19:38 pm UTC Just go to Germany, get up on stage for a couple of minutes, then he'll stop calling for a couple of months. – Martin Robinson 19:38 pm UTC I'll finally have some peace. – Martin Robinson 19:38 pm UTC Be able to get back to those box sets. – Martin Robinson 19:40 pm UTC Kojima, visionary, auteur. Creator of... That guy who keeps shitting himself. That girl that was made out of plants or something so had to be pretty much nude the entire game. – Martin Robinson 19:41 pm UTC THE MAN WHO MADE A GAME WITH A SUNLIGHT SENSOR THAT WAS ESSENTIAL TO PLAYING IT, AND WAS EXCLUSIVE TO THE HANDHELD THAT YOU COULDN'T PLAY IN THE SUN BECAUSE THE SCREEN WAS SO BAD. – Martin Robinson 19:42 pm UTC I do think this looks more Metal Gear Solid 4 than anything else. – Martin Robinson 19:42 pm UTC I don't know if that's a good thing or not. – Martin Robinson 19:42 pm UTC Anyway, that was Andie Macdowell's daughter, fact fans. – Martin Robinson 19:43 pm UTC That was Mama. And this? This is... Deadman. – Martin Robinson 19:44 pm UTC Played by Del Toro, of course. – Martin Robinson 19:45 pm UTC I need to go to toilet. If I give someone the password to our CMS can they take over for a bit? – Martin Robinson 19:47 pm UTC Well, that is pretty much all I do. – Martin Robinson 19:47 pm UTC It was a number one. I'm back, I'm afraid. – Martin Robinson 19:48 pm UTC Geoff nodding like any of this shit makes any sense. – Martin Robinson 19:48 pm UTC If you think this is bad, you wait until the deluge of awful op-eds that come out in the wake of Death Stranding. – Martin Robinson 19:49 pm UTC So, here's some gameplay. – Martin Robinson 19:49 pm UTC Here we go. – Martin Robinson 19:49 pm UTC The first gameplay of Death Stranding. – Martin Robinson 19:50 pm UTC You get to nap in Iceland. – Martin Robinson 19:50 pm UTC Then you stop napping. And have a think about getting up. – Martin Robinson 19:50 pm UTC Then you piss on a rock. – Martin Robinson 19:50 pm UTC Oh the baby is pissing. Sorry. – Martin Robinson 19:51 pm UTC I do reckon this has the potential to be the next Boktai. – Martin Robinson 19:51 pm UTC INSOMANiAC: This what I call gameplay leak. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. I told you I'd peaked. You're on fire. – Martin Robinson 19:54 pm UTC Geoff Keighley is in Death Stranding. – Martin Robinson 19:54 pm UTC I hate everyone and everything. – Martin Robinson 19:55 pm UTC It's a postman simulator where you bring your baby to work and Geoff Keighley is in it. – Martin Robinson 19:55 pm UTC Will obviously reserve judgement for the final thing, and the exploration side looks wonderful. – Martin Robinson 19:56 pm UTC But also Kojima fans are just as tedious as Tarantino fans, so the back end of 2019 sure is going to be fun. – Martin Robinson 19:56 pm UTC Geoff's face is un-mocappable. – Martin Robinson 19:56 pm UTC It is unmoving. – Martin Robinson 19:56 pm UTC It is a rock. – Martin Robinson 19:57 pm UTC He is born from the Moai. – Martin Robinson 19:57 pm UTC AddressUnknown: I've got a Kojima Productions T-shirt and hoodie. Picked them up from Insert Coin. Opinion: burn them now. – Martin Robinson 19:59 pm UTC Also yes it does look very interesting and very different and I'm honestly very excited to play it but I think the amount of misplaced reverence makes it very tempting to scream 'do one'. – Martin Robinson 19:59 pm UTC I love that Death Stranding exists, and games in 2019 are all the better for it and for people like Kojima. – Martin Robinson 20:00 pm UTC (Although there are lots of good video games and interesting people making them that deserve just as much, if not more, reverence and respect). – Martin Robinson 20:01 pm UTC GarciaHotspur: I miss Swery. He lives! – Martin Robinson 20:01 pm UTC Kami: tbh, I think this cameo stuff would have been better just being found by people on the Interwebz. Yeah, it didn't need 30 minutes on-stage for sure. – Martin Robinson 20:01 pm UTC Well, that was Death Stranding. – Martin Robinson 20:02 pm UTC And oh my god yes INSOMANiAC, if Langford is in it all this self-fellation will be excused. – Martin Robinson 20:03 pm UTC I look forward to finding out more about Death Stranding later this year. But also just get off the stage and go rut you two. – Martin Robinson 20:03 pm UTC That was Gamescom Opening Night Live. And you know what? It was actually really good - the last half hour was awkward and the last half sagged, but there were some good announcements and it felt like a proper video game show. – Martin Robinson 20:04 pm UTC I might even be tempted to clap that? – Martin Robinson 20:04 pm UTC Thanks for having me, and thanks for keeping me sane and for keeping it entertaining. – Martin Robinson 20:05 pm UTC I wish we could do this every day. But also I'd like to not be on my laptop so I'm signing off.
