Short Pause: "On the eve of Fallout 4's arrival, Brent and Frankie are left alone to host this week's show. With Boyce bedridden and sick, wondering what the hell is going to happen with Episode #48, were any of his significant fears justified? Let's find out! The topics this week include:
- Brent can barely contain his excitement for the impending launch of Fallout 4, and he's doing his very best to avoid the spoilers that have been leaked early, much to the dismay of Bethesda's Pete Hines.
- Frankie wonders what will be included in the Season Pass for Rainbow Six: Siege, especially since Ubisoft recently announced that maps, modes, and other cosmetic add-ons will be free for everyone. Ubisoft has some explaining to do before the game drops next month.
- Frankie shares his initial impressions of Battleborn, while Brent (shockingly) gushes over what he's played in Call of Duty: Black Ops III so far."
"Rainbow Six Siege Major Manchester event was a showcase of Siege play and underdog spirit - with a few boos, some boozy chanting and a sweaty atmosphere."

The new monthly paid subscription for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has sparked an outrage among the game's community.
Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.
A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."
It's going to cost you and I more money and we will have less opportunities to play the games we want to play, as well as purchasing games we want to purchase.
'Kay?????
So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄
What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.
