Hi! The channel is dying. It's us. We're killing it. ALSO: Today we're talking about VIDEO GAMES that we predict that will be at TOKYO GAME SHOW, which we might call "TGS" for short, but we're absolutely talking about Tokyo Game Show, and not any other kind of company or brand or anything. I will be predicting the kinds of RPGs, especially the Japanese kind, that I think we'll see at Tokyo Game Show.
