    I’m hearing Hasbro is scanning people’s faces at CES.

    With permission, of course! It’s for a custom action figure that should arrive 45 days after the show — and if you want to see what it’s like, perhaps even try or buy one yourself, I’ve got the Verge hands-on story for you:

    Hey Alienware, meet Valve. I think you might have a common goal?

    Alienware showed us a brand-new, really out-there gamepad prototype at CES this year, and the more I read about this wacky thing, the more I think Alienware should just make the Steam Controller 2.

    Valve is looking for a partner! The two companies already have history! It won’t have to look like an Xbox ripoff!

    Just please, make sure it has a great gyro.

    Here are the next 36 fan builds that could become official Lego sets.

    My favorites are The Travel Suitcase and the Japanese Castle, though I’d be happy with many of them! Here’s the full list.

    Don’t get your hopes up for a Zelda castle or the house from Up, as Lego has repeatedly rejected designs like those before. And since Lego’s new Jazz Club already has a pizza parlor, I’m afraid the amazing Modular Arcade might not make the cut.

    Not everyone can get an RTX 4080 in the cloud.

    Nvidia just announced GeForce Now will soon let you rent the power of an RTX 4080... but not everywhere. The fine print sez it’ll roll out servers in North America and Europe from January to May — but the top-flight GPUs “are not or will not be available in all data centers.”

    If you don’t see the words “RTX 4080” in your region on this official status page by May, you may be out of luck.
