This week Bossa Studios announces I Am Bread's launch on PS4 with a rap song. It's... interesting. Grif started Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. No really, she's playing CoD. She shares what she likes about it and what she thinks they could have done better. Of course she also gets to talk about Troy Baker, but you everyone saw that coming.

The thing everyone really wants to talk about: Bethesda announced Fallout 4! People are already up in arms about it's graphics and lack of plot. Isn't it a little early for that kind of thing? XCOM2 was also announced! Our hosts are confused about E3 dates, but they get it straightened out in the end. Black Tusk Studios is now The Coalition. Will the name change hurt them in the long rung?
