Panel 1
Alex (smiling)
Alex: Hey Sam! Remember when Xbox was all about that bold, aggressive branding? It's like they're losing their edge now. What was once bold looks more like a case of the Xbox blues!

Alex (hopeful)
Alex: I guess we’ll just have to be the Xbox cheerleaders for now. At least I can still invent cool stuff and pretend like I'm on the cutting edge. So, how's that new coffee maker coming along, Sam?
