Summer Game Fest/E3 2021 Preview

It’s that time of year again! The video games are taking over. Somehow, E3 is not dead, and we’ve also got this weird divorced and fighting scenario with E3 and Summer Game Fest. We talk about who is going to be there, make our predictions, and already get things wrong.

BUT before that! We talk about the recent controversy with Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice. Voice actors got fired! Actual censorship is a problem! Bad fans are bad! It’s basically a giant train wreck, and I give you the full breakdown of events and explain why I quit the game despite playing it since launch.
