This week we begin the show with a discussion led by Riana Manuel on the protests taking place in the United States and the Black Lives Matter movement. In the second segment we chat about news including the Kingdoms of Amalur remaster, Sega's new console announcement, and what Infinity Ward is doing to combat racism in Call of Duty...plus...Brittney has info about a very important Sims 4 update. Riana then chats about her time in Apex Legends while Britt decided to investigate what Telling Lies is all about.
