What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. What will we do without Sir Patrick. Watching Street Fighter is not one of them, but I still have a review, a few weeks late. RAMpocalypes is not getting any better, and not if we listen to Sam Altman. James Gunn says they will cast Batman soon. Modern Warfare 4 is off too a good start, and Ubisoft wants to buy Arkane.

Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

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!
