Hard News[]
It is weird for Chad to transition to himself.
Engineering slaves strike back - Some people were having trouble with their PS4s. A company that makes consoles have been having trouble with slave labour. There was a rumour that the display issues were caused by the slave workers sabotaging it! One of them posted a message online saying that he would be surprised if some of them turned on. Sony has said that their working rate is still high. There will probably be a lot more cases coming out. Sam discusses the suicide net issue. It will end up screwing over all the consumers.
Destiny Beta coming to PS4 first - Bungee announced the beta of Destiny. The MMO that is not really an MMO. Bungee used to be synonymous with Microsoft. There will be an time exclusive on the PS4.

Middle Segment[]
With the PS4 launch last week, and the Xbox One launch this week, Chad wants to discuss game launches. There isn't much being released at the Xbox One launch that Nick wants that isn't on anything else. Chad lists all the games coming out, and they all judge them. Nick wants to see the fighting game using Kinect at Evo. Killer Instinct is the killer app.
Ben is interested in Rise, but Chad thinks it looks too generic and filled with quick time events. It is like God of War, but doesn't look good. Minecraft and Peggle 2 are both coming to the Xbox One. Peggle is fun, but not many people care about it. Wolfenstein looks awesome. It is going to cost a lot of money for Chad to play Killer Instinct as he needs the console and the stick. He has to pay around $800!
Newsdesk[]
Texans loves their sports and get into fights. A teacher got into a fight with a student. The teacher uppercuts the student, and the student ended up on the floor. Being a teacher is stressful, but you can't hit a student! He was fired on the spot.
In Canada, a mayor was smoking crack with gangsters! He was pulled over for drunk driving. There was a sex scandal involved with a woman as well. After a text is read out in court about him wanting to 'eat pussy', the man said that he has plenty to eat at home!
"Nick disapproves"
Some people came to Florida to recruit members for the KKK. Nick correctly guesses the KKK. They chose a town at random to recruit, and found themselves in an African-American town. Sam comments that the KKK did some good things like allowing women to drive, but they are awful people otherwise. It is stupid that they have no demographically awareness. Sam can understand the demographics by the food stores in the town. Nick presses the music button after Chad wonders if it has been pressed.
