  • No Man's Sky undergoes refund controversy (2016) news
    Steam, Sony, and Amazon were reportedly offering unconditional refunds for 'No Man's Sky' following allegations of deception on behalf of developer Hello Games.

We discuss was the cosplayer in the wrong, or was there overreaction by police when they got the complete story. The convo also bleeds into how can events like this be prevented in the future, and better ways all parties involved could possibly go about this.

  • BSing about location hardships (weedhead-instigated)
    Like putting a spoiler on a car that decorates your front lawn, we talk about the shitty "upgrades" we've had in broadcasting space thanks to the perpetually high station owners.
