#070: Disturbing Diplomacy & A Bungled Burglary
Monday Oct 14, 2019
Monday Oct 14, 2019
Just when we thought tossing cats on camera was bad enough to decide punishments over, video game company giant Activision Blizzard is under the scope as a world power casts its eye upon them! Join Glenn with his newfound riches on WoW, Tyler as he prepares himself for the life of a law-abiding vaper, and Nik as he addresses the safety concerns of fires and fake shooters at his school. With a victorious Hearthstone player getting slammed for using the spotlight to give cause to the people of Hong Kong, people are turning Overwatch's Chinese climatologist Mei into a symbol of democracy that combats the oppression from China and the suppression of it's own game company. How will the country known for heavy censorship handle this new development? How will Activision Blizzard, who gets a large portion of their profits from the region, control the situation? Who in their right minds would steal Gabe Newell's mini-gun? This is Casual Master Quest!

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep
WoW Classic
Atlas
