Welcome back to Nerd Central for all things, gaming, movies, and television news.
Gaming
Valorant officially launched this week and has been reasonably well-received by critics and fans.
The PS5 event was delayed saying, "we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration, and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard."
CD Projekt Red has delayed the "Night City Wire," from June 11 to June 22.
SEGA announced a set of four palm-sized Game Gear Micro. They will be launched in Japan on October 6 with a price estimate of 50 dollars each.
Special Editon Xbox One X will come with the first Cyberpunk 2077 DLC for free.
COD added in-game Black Lives Matter tributes in response to the protests after the death of George Floyd.
Multiple gaming companies took servers offline for two hours on Tuesday in response to Blackout Tuesday.
Movies
AMC Theaters do not believe that after reopening, they will be able to stay n business due to movie reschedules.
Cinemark will be reopening later this month and will encourage but not require people to use masks.
Television
Looney Tunes released on HBO Max with a new art style that has been well received.
Channels such as Nickelodeon did not have their channels on for a short time in honor of Blackout Tuesday.
Quarantine
This is a massive topic, but I believe, as a person, it is a duty of mine to speak up about the incidents that have occurred.
Recently protests have sparked across the world due to the death of George Floyd in police custody. The protests fight against police brutality and the general racism against the black community. I fully support that rightfully demanding justice and would recommend anyone to contribute themselves mentally or physically. Sign petitions or read about the facts and educate yourself more on the history of racism in society. Black Lives Matter. Period.
Next week the Quarantine section will return to normal unless something occurs, I believe that it is only right for me also to spread the information of the movement and hopes of a better world.
Stay tuned for next week of Nerd Central.
