HI Peanut! Boy was that Deadpool and Wolverine trailer just glorious. Just inject it straight into my corneas. Also, Embracer group was apparently not too big to fail, as they are splitting into 3 sperate companies. Meta announces new partnerships for the quest, and a price drop for the Quest 2. Jack Black is unsurprisingly playing Steve in the Minecraft movie, Sony wants to buy Paramount, and Zoolander 2 was a wake up call for Ben Stiller. That and more, come take a listen.

You read that correctly, the state of the gaming world is unreal, as in Unreal Engine. As the GDC is fully underway, there was still a lot of news to get through. From Epic games having their state of Unreal, to Saber Interactive breaking free from Embracers embrace, to the failure of the PSVR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection taking a nosedive. Also Popeye, The Cat in the Hat, and The Never Ending Story are all making some kind of comeback, The Acolyte gets its first trailer, and Dune Pt. 2 continues to sizzle as the box office. That and a whole lot more.
