holy crap, rab florence got mad skinny. so was this any good?

Dead Pixels, the channel 4 (UK) thing has large chunks of people grinding in a mmorpg. last episode had three of them punching a mammoth to death.

there's a whole gamergate episode of SVU. lots of acronyms being explained. and tutuola is a massive gamer, despite never having mentioned it ever before.

"Trivia: This episode holds the record for the lowest rated episode for the whole series."
