The great physicist Stephen Hawking has officially passed away. After living more than 40 years with ALS, one of the world's greatest minds succumbed to his condition. He will be missed.
In our reminiscing about how he impacted our education, we wound up falling into a deep, deep hole of nostalgia. With the closing of Toys 'R' Us, we couldn't help but talk about  our memories in gaming, growing up, and more.
But right as we're about to get so far down the rabbit hole we're back in Ray-Bans and Board Shorts, JJ brings a cold shock with some news. News about a New Nintendo Switch possibly coming out. What are our thoughts? Find out in The Name Doesn't Matter. #TNDM!
