What To Watch This Weekend: Call Of Duty, Smite, And Hearthstone
You may be wracked with guilt over what to get your valentine this weekend before Tuesday rolls around, but that doesn't mean you can't take some of the edge off by watching some eSports! There's a lot of good stuff this weekend, and we all know it's the thought that counts anyway. Or at least, that's the line you should give when you have to tell your soon-to-be ex when they realize you spent the weekend watching Call of Duty when you should have been thinking about getting them a present.
