Cutting through video game bullshit since 2014.
The boys look ahead to the biggest news period of the year for video games and try to predict what we’ll see and be shown by a number of big companies, such as Microsoft, Nintendo, Take-Two, and plenty more
With the week’s bigger news items being more political in nature, the boys choose to focus more on the positives… by talking about the most negative part of Immortals. But! There’s talk of Biomutant, the NBA playoffs, Mortal Kombat. and more!
