What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. What will we do without Sir Patrick. Watching Street Fighter is not one of them, but I still have a review, a few weeks late. RAMpocalypes is not getting any better, and not if we listen to Sam Altman. James Gunn says they will cast Batman soon. Modern Warfare 4 is off too a good start, and Ubisoft wants to buy Arkane.

We all need to have a conversation about how Hollywood news should be discussed online. Because Star Wars' future is always in flux. On the flip side, we also need to cool it about Halo, nothing is set in stone, yet. And Westeros is headed to the big screen. We are also heading back to Jump Street and Asha says XBOX is not for SALE!

Episode 429: Small Potato Stuff
August 5th, 2026 | 1 hr 19 mins
70mm, AMD, Christopher Nolan, Dungeons & Dragons, EA, EA Games, God of War, Lucasfilm, MCU, Playstation, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV, WoW, Xbox, activision, barbie, black ops 1 & 2, blade, booster gold, call of duty, call of duty black ops, clueless, dave bautista, dcu, disney, disney+, dnd, elden ring, final fantasy vii, from software, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george rr martin, gpu, henry cavill, imax, james may, jeremy clarkson, kratos, midnight club, moana, movies, nerd, nvidia, oded fehr, paramount+, pif, pokemon, ps5, ram, richard hammond, rockstar games, samsung, sony columbia pictures, sony interactive entertainment, sony pictures, spider-man brand new day, squareenix, steam, steam machine, the grand tour, the mandalorian, the mummy, the odyssey, tiktok, valve, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warhammer40k, warnerbros, wonder man, world of warcraft, x-men
Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

If you are looking for a review of the odyssey, you wont find it here, but we have other exciting news. Like Disney cuts Pixar staff, even after making a billion dollars. Or Is Nintendo justified in telling consumers to stuff it after tariff refunds? PlayStation ain't budging on ditching discs, and some sales numbers back them up. But hey, at least we got a trailer for Avengers Doomsday!
