Activision is being all Activisiony, Fortnite has changed their matchmaking algorithms in a huge way, and we have thoughts. Minecraft has a new Nether update coming, and we believe it’ll be super neato.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC! Woot! Finally! (Like either of us have a PC that’ll run it….)
PS4 System update looks nice. There’s an Android vulnerability, and we discuss whether or not you should be worried.
