This week, Brian and Corey are talking about the effect plagiarism has on games journalism and critics and the uproar over Fortnite tutors in the main stream media.

Please Note: Due to technical difficulties on Brian's end, this podcast is a couple weeks late and episodes will be slow to roll out until it's fixed.  Thank you for your patience.

Special thanks to Teddy Laich for editing this episode and to John Montoya for the theme.

In this short return to form, Brian and Corey talk about having a backlog on Steam, the Meta in Overwatch and eSports in general, and then there's Corey ragging on No Man's Sky again.  We talk about what we've been playing, but really, it's just us stretching our podcast muscles and getting ready for a successful end to 2018.
