    Robots systematically wiping out the entire human population is an idea as old as science fiction itself.

And beyond excellent visual styles, the stories that are told will touch the heart in places you wouldn’t expect from just another animated show on Netflix. So listen in and get your fix on League of Legends lore, and by the end we’ll ask that you Entertain This…
