Welcome back to another edition of… The Week In Review! DUM DUM DUM. Admit it, you thought that was funny. Alright, maybe it wasn’t. Whatever, I am the writer here and I thought it was funny. Before I run off too many people with my terrible jokes I do have some actual news for you.
I want to tee off this week with something that just cracks me up. People will always rip on the top players in every industry and walk of life. Gaming sites are no exception.
