October 30, 2019 By Isaiah Sharp Leave a Comment

It’s getting colder outside so make sure to turn that thermostat up so you don’t have to stop gaming and fix it later. If you plan on heading out for any Black Friday sales make sure you bundle up. Or just wait for Cyber Monday sales to start (It’s probably safer tbh.) Follow us on Twitter or give us a like on Facebook for information on games and gaming in Oklahoma!
