Stop Humping Our Necks (ft. Rishi Bee)

It appears Blizzard goes full TMNT about the lawsuit ... (PSSST, Not that kind of Shredder) Pinky wonders what China is up to. Is it getting toxic in here or are we all just a little more salty now and what does cloud gaming hold for us on this episode of Joystick and Mouse. http://www.joystickandmouse.comhttp://shop.joystickandmouse.com/https://www.patreon.com/joystickandmouse Our Guest Rishi B - @rishibh Story Links Here's what you don't do when somebody sues you.
