It's Tuesday, June 19, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.  Welcome back! We’ll explain why it might be time to try Pokémon Go again and try to make our choice between a pair of excellent electric SUVs. Oh, and the president made a little announcement. (View in browser.) It would also require an act of Congress. Donald Trump said during a National Space Council meeting today that he has called for the development of a sixth military branch: Space Force.

HBO and Warner Bros. have been teasing their Westworld mobile game for nigh-on half a year. Now, though, they finally have something to show. The Behaviour Interactive-built game is slated to arrive on June 21st for iOS and Android.

Riot Games ran into an unexpected snag during the North American LCS (League of Legends Championship Series) yesterday. The MOBA crashed partway through a match between Clutch Gaming and Echo Fox, kicking all 10 players out of the session. After a lengthy pause, Riot ruled that Echo Fox had won the match, pushing the team to joint first in the summer split standings. | | But wait, there's more... | |
