VR Breakdancing, GameStop Stonks, Google's Latest Fight & New Harry Potter Series


Listen Later

What does thousands of dollars of VR tracking gear get you? A way to compete in fully virtual breakdancing battles. South Koreans are still at home, and are working hard on creating Ready Player One’s Oasis in order to show off their sick dance moves. And the tracking is surprisingly good.


If you haven’t invested in GameStop, it’s probably too late. If you have, you already know what we’re talking about. Reddit users have discovered an infinite money glitch and are really upsetting the billionaires who aren’t going to make quite as much this year as they did last year. Also, this story developed so much quicker than we expected and most of what we talked about has come to pass.


Google might withdraw their search engine from Australia. Microsoft are probably waiting in the shadows to pounce and be able to claim that someone, somewhere on the planet actually uses Bing.


JK Rowling's Harry Potter projects just won’t die. Now HBO are working on a Harry Potter series featuring the Marauders. The original Harry Potter fans will all be adults now, but there’s a whole generation of younger fans so let’s hope HBO don’t make it as adult as Game of Thrones.


This week DJ continued suffering through Ex-Arm, Professor checked out a Wall-E Simulator, the Burnable Garbage Day, and Dev-i watched artistic animated films.
