WHAT THE REBELS ARE PLAYING

Amanda – I’m an actual disgrace. I’ve not played anything. It’s actually been a busy working week for me and I’ve not made the time. I’m playing Warzone tonight, does that count? I’m sorry 🙁 I’ll try to do better next week.

Stacy – Still playing The Last of Us 2, and I’m finally almost just about half-way done. It’s a top 10 game of all-time list for me, so far, and I’ve done my best not to ruin it. The goal is to be able to have an opinion on it next week, so stay tuned for that!

Gaming News

Lootbox Addiction – Despite news last week that loot boxes are purchased by a very small proportion of gaming adults, they can still be devastating financially. A UK teenager spent £3,000 of his college savings on buying loot boxes in Fifa. It’s good the house of lords is looking into this.

Free Xbox Series X or PS5? It might be possible with rumored £500 per adult and £250 per child as part of UK economic stimulus packages. Since the money is supposed to encourage spending, it’s not a terrible idea to spend it on the new consoles, really. Would you spend your stimulus on that?

Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) and others have taken full advantage of the guitar freestyle sessions in The Last of Us 2 to play cover songs of some of the more popular tunes
