Well folks its finally happening, a Mafia game set in Sicily at the turn of the 20th Century! I am very excited! But that wasn't the only news out of Gamescom this week, another Bethesda title is going multiplatform, old franchises are returning, and new adaptations are unexpectedly coming! Also, don't go after actors for roles they play, they aren't really those characters! Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing. Nic Cage, now here's a guy, will be playing John Madden, and forget the chicken sandwich war, Chick-fil-a is jumping into the streaming wars.

Two of our biggest stories this week are making the internet collectively ask...Make it make sense. And guess what, I'm joining them. What is Xbox's strategy, and why is it so ever changing lately. Also how did we kill cable, only for it to come back. Plus Nintendo still doesn't want to talk about the Switch 2. Also the Office is coming back, so of course that's what we get in the hellscape of 2024. But I swear its a fun episode...come and take a listen.
