0:08.8	and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com and on our
0:16.2	YouTube channels, Blister Review and Blister Studios. Today, Cody Townsend is back to review the news of
0:25.3	June with me, and man, this one is a roller coaster. We talk about some important topics,
0:34.2	and we definitely talk about some arguably less important topics, but we do also along the
0:42.0	way here come up with Cody's new catchphrase. We asked all of you to submit your best ideas
