I never thought I would say the words " a planned community brought to you by Disney" yet here we are just a few weeks into 2022. Also on the docket, Microsoft vows to change the culture at Activision, and also vows to keep CoD multiplatform. Cyberpunk 2077 finally receives its next gen updates, and becomes the game it was meant to be, a year and a half later. The Super Bowl is come and gone, and that means, trailers, trailers, trailers. Plus, The Book of Boba Fett knocks it out of the park for its season finale.

Halo Infinite MP has been out a week, and I have some thoughts. Meanwhile that rumored WarnerBros Smash clone is real, and its spectacular. The external pressure on Activision is growing, and internal pressure isn't simmering down either. Meanwhile Lucasfilm is setting its sights on the future of the franchise, and TV seems to be the path. The MCU is setting up multiple secret projects, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a sequel worth your time.
