We covered quite a few topics in a short amount of time this week! First we talk about how the rules are changing for competitive Scrabble since the Black Lives Matter movement, which includes removing some bad, but previously acceptable, words. Then we talk about Ninja coming back to streaming for the first time since Mixer shut down, how The Sims video game is getting a reality TV show, and the probability that games in the new console generation will jump to $70 apiece.
