I thought this was pretty cool. I always appreciate weapon swap and reloading annimations so this was amusing. 

Hey y’all! I compiled my best and favorite reloads! No robot voice and now widescreen format! Enjoy!! :) pic.twitter.com/fG5Y2zf0YA

Here's one of the best things to come out of WWE2K22 finally dropping.

This TikTok deserves to be shared simply based on the shear amount of effort put into making it on #WWE2K22.

Weekend Vibes

Dezel Curry has been making waves with the album cuts off his newest project. T-Pain makes a return to the vibe list this week on this joint. Take a listen.

Tyler the Creator dropped some new heat. Nuff said. Short but definitely sweet.

Apparently I've been under a rock while this song has been blowing up. The visuals are definitely big budget here and Meg is doing what she does best! Solid dance track to shake a lil' somethin' this weekend!

That's all for this Saturday edition of Weekend Discussion! I hope you enjoy the last week of March. Spring is almost here! If you enjoy this content, consider showing us some love on our social networks. And if you need something to help decompress after long work days, why not stare at some adorable animals on our free pet photo app, Shackpets? Have a great weekend!
