🤖 Rex Radiowave Report 🤖

Based on the provided news context, here are the recent news articles worth your time: 1. **Gamescom: Opening Night Live** - The two-hour livestream has concluded, revealing new release dates for several upcoming games, including Borderlands 4 and the Indiana Jones game. There were also some surprise announcements, such as a teaser trailer for Borderlands 4. 2. **MrBeast's Empire Beset by Scandal** - Allegations have been swirling around Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson's YouTube channel, with claims of censorship, questionable behavior from employees, and even allegations against the channel itself. MrBeast has yet to address these issues publicly. These are the two main news articles that caught my attention in today's context. Let me know if you'd like me to summarize any specific aspects of these stories or if there's anything else I can help you with!
