Another week, another wonk. What is a wonk? Where can I find a wonk of my own? I don’t know. What I do know is the news. Here is that news.

  • Rick and Morty Comic Book
  • League of Legends Sexy Girl Problem
  • Paul Brothers’ Twitch Drama
Dungeon Riiiick


This isn’t actually video game related, but its very video game adjacent. IDW Publishing announced that a Rick and Morty comic book, based in a Dungeons and Dragons themed world, is due for release this August. One of the co-writers is quoted as saying the idea was “some serious you-got-chocolate-in-my-peanut butter $#!& right there.” Make of that what you will.

Riot Games’ Rowdy Girl


The creator of League of Legends recently released a new hero, Kai’Sa. She is covered in a parasitic creature thing that helps her fight, not entirely unlike Bayonetta. Fans were off-put by the deep V-neck style of the alien bodysuit, claiming its overly sexual, and contradicting of the developer’s past statements to not sexualize their characters. Riot responded saying that, while they kinda knew it was a touch scandalous, they had to show off some skin in order for people to be able to see that she was a human in a monster suit, and not simply a monster herself. Of all of the excuses to have a scantily clad woman, this might be the most legitimate one I’ve heard yet. They’re small character models, after all.

The Paul Brothers


Frankly, I don’t much like talking about these guys. I don’t like them. Regardless, I shall cast aside my personal bias in order to bring you the news. This is a two-part news bit, the first is in regards to Jake Paul and Summit1G. Summit is one of the biggest Twitch streamers right now. Earlier this week, he livestreamed a game of Fortnite with controversial YouTuber Jake Paul. Unsurprisingly, many of the members of his community were unhappy with the association and expressed it so. Summit responded defensively, claiming that if they were genuinely upset about him playing with Jake, they weren’t true summit fans. This led to an even stronger uproar, to the point that his next livestream was titled “do not donate or sub. I also will not be reading chat. it’s gonna be awkward.” What did you think was going to happen, man?

The other bit was Sunday, when the other brother, Logan Paul, ran his first Twitch livestream, also playing Fortnite. Almost immediately, his chat was filled with dicks. ASCII art style penises were being spammed by many members of the chat. It became so bad that after a point, his producer could be heard on stream say “There are so many dicks . . . We got spammed so fast.” Logan has since stated that he wants to promote a positive and friendly environment and that once he reaches affiliate status, he will enable subscriber-only chat mode. What interested me was that, given his fame, he likely could have contacted Twitch and requested immediate partner status. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t accepted.

Quite an interesting news week, if I say so myself. I hope you enjoyed our first Guest Article! It was a recounting of The Legend of Zelda Symphony that took place last year in Columbus, Ohio, by guest writer Sara H. Check back tomorrow for another fun news update. Otherwise, have a great night!
