Druckmann never said Naughty Dog's next game "could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming."

Looks like Valve just released a little update for Counter-Strike 2. Valve has a tendency to release their updates a little later in the day, so it's a rare treat when I see an update for Counter-Strike and it's still daylight here.

The changelog can be found below if you didn't feel like clicking the link above. Counter-Strike...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Trailer Features Clinton, Bush Sr., Thatcher, Powell, and Saddam Hussein
It's a party and everybody is invited!
Sure, the initial marketing push for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was quite lame and, as some have said, "very cringe." This new trailer, though? This new trailer actually seems pretty damn good. At the very least, it's extremely intriguing.

Deceive Inc.'s World's Finest Update Available Now
That's the name of the update, not necessarily an indication of quality.
