Also I give my top 10 90s Drama films.

E3 might be cancelled, but what happened over the last few days sure feels like E3. We had an Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft Forward, Summer Games Fest, Capcom Showcase, and and whole lot more. And boy, how about that Starfield Direct, that is the first time I've been excited for a Bethesda game. Also the Writers strike claims new victims, unsurprisingly, Netflix gets new subscribers, and stick around for a spoiler filled review of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Those Microsoft Layoffs may have a greater impact on gaming then we might realize, especially for Master Chief. NVIDIA and Google voice their concerns over the Activision deal, but stop short of jumping in Sony's bandwagon. Pour one out for Stadia, as today was its final day. Mark Hamill gives and update on playing the Joker, Spielberg wants to jump into TV, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are coming back. Meanwhile the BatVerse is more real then you realize, James Cameron hits another Billion, and Rainbow Six is coming to the big screen.

Well the Golden Globes huh, how about them apples? Also how are no physical games being sold in the UK, that makes absolutely no sense. Some genre defining directors are making some missteps, WarnerBros is trying out a "were sorry" approach, Paramount+ makes some interesting choices for non Star Trek Properties.

You read that title right. Its a Pokémon reference, as we have now learned, Ash Ketchum is nearing the end of his Pokémon Journey. Big Shakeups happening in the world of the Xbox Activision merger. The FTC moves against Epic, John Carmack is leaving Meta, and Goat Simulator tries to rip off GTA 6. Amazon is making big promises for the Rings of Power's future, and HBO Max continues to fumble on the goal line. James Gunn talks Terminators future, Henry Cavill joins a new IP universe, and James Gunn isn't backing down.
