It’s the beginning of August, and for most people in Canada, that means it was [CIVIC HOLIDAY]! I’m sure everyone had a great time this [CIVIC HOLIDAY], hanging out with their friends and family, trading [CIVIC HOLIDAY] gifts, drinking [CIVIC HOLIDAY] nog, and even dancing around the [CIVIC HOLIDAY POLE].*

Of course, if it wasn’t a holiday weekend where you are, you still have plenty of reason to celebrate — all these videos!

This week on CheckPoint, we discuss Pokémon Go, Bioware, and a heartwarming piece of news about No Man’s Sky.

We also hopped onto the Pokemon Go bandwagon with this Crapshot, featuring our favourite new character Area Man!

Graham and I continue our adventures through Japan with the Day 9 edition, Let Us Showa This Museum. We see the local sights of Takayama, the quaintest town possibly ever.

Speaking of blog news, James decided he didn’t want to let Graham have all the blog fun, and has put up his own JVLOG about a recent trip to the beach.

AND FINALLY, if you’re still looking for stuff to watch, Graham has just re-uploaded the original first season of Commodore Hustle to our YouTube channel. If you missed the first run in 2008 (HOLY CRAP THESE CAME OUT EIGHT YEARS AGO) you should really watch them again — using this handy playlist that starts on episode one!
