Today on Re:Fresh: We're back from the holidays and weighing in on the issues of the new year. We check out what's up in Bulgarian politics (spoilers: assassination attempts!), talk about guns and gun control, GLAD gives Frank Ocean an award for gay stuff, another lottery winner is dead, the murder rate in NYC hits a record low, and Ozzy Osbourne goes to hell, kind of. We'll also talk about the backlash against violent video games and what that could mean for our favorite past time, check out the latest Metal Gear Rising demo, Skyrim DLC is coming to the PS3, Skype on Xbox? It could happen. That's all on this episode of Re:Fresh.
