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!

In massive gaming news, and I MEAN MASSIVE! Phil Spencer has retired from Xbox and Microsoft and his #2 Sarah Bond resigned as well, as a questionable new CEO takes the reigns. Plus Sony plans to reboot their wider Spider-manless Spider-verse after its utter collapse, no more morbin time? Mortal Kombat 2 got a Johnny Cage filled trailer and Valve is getting sued by the state of New York and as Jackie Chiles would say: "It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.

Star Trek has found its new Bones and Sulu, yet we have to wait a while before we actually see them. The video game industry lost a true legend, and we salute everything Vince Zampella brought us. Marvel goes back to what it knows for Doomsday, and Macauly decides what is and isn't a Christmas Movie. Plus we may have to wait a little longer for 007's video game return.
