Fans of the show will tell you that despite what is going on in the world Cory and Aaron keep the shows focus on video games and entertainment. This week despite Gamescom going on in Germany and tons of gaming news to discuss it would be irresponsible for the team to ignore some of the world events going on from the relevent news going on in Ferguson Colorado, the loss of a comedic icon Robin Williams, to the bizarre story of a professional fighter assaulting a porn star and being hunted by Dog the Bounty Hunter.
