ABC 4 Corners on Gaming, Petroleum Wars & First Look at New He-Man

ABC's Four Corners has done a report on predatory microtransactions. It's nice to see a layman's description to help explain to non gamers why this matters so much. We discuss a solution. Maybe. Let us know if you can see any issues.

The Colonial Pipeline has been hacked, resulting in fuel shortages across the South Eastern United States. Is this the start of a new generation of cyber crime? Are people really dumb when it comes to shortages? Probably and yes. SECURE YOUR BACKUPS PEOPLE.

The new He-Man reboot character art has been revealed. DJ thinks it's pretty good, but thinks Teela looks like Rhonda Rousey.

This week Professor developed an unhealthy fear of light in Into the Night and DJ was disappointed by family drama in Jupiter's Legacy.
