- SVP059 - Nineteen Eighty Fortnite
Oh, welcome back after a short break. Good to see that the world is still on fire. But good news: Bug Fables is good, as is the first season of The Boys. Check out this stupid shit where Epic and Apple declare war on each other and people are choosing what multi-billion dollar company they want to support. There's also some next-gen news headed down range, but no one really cares if Halo got delayed, do they?
