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.

From The Batman part II being delayed, to Steam making $11b in 6 months. From the rising tide in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynched, to the lack of IMAX 70mm. Yet that all couldn't save Moana from Te Fiti, you're welcome?

Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

Its time to start your engines, because a new Forza Horizon is out and ready to be driven, and all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Plus XBOX may have to go back to exclusives, while PlayStation is ditching PC. HBO gave us our first real look at Lanterns ahead of its August release, and PlayStation is also hoping on the price increase train, as PS+ gets a hike.

Its our 400th episode! We might be recording a day early but that doesn't mean the news stops. Apparently the Doomsday trailers are a story, not a cohesive one though. Jackass is returning to theaters, but at what cost? GameStop is closing stores, are you surprised? Plus reactions to the Golden Globes, and more!

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.

Happy Thanksgiving week! Just a few major stories to break down this week. FarCry is headed to television on FX with Rob Mac staring, which is the right type of chaos that show needs. Wicked went off to see the wizard with a big box office take, and it might not be, for good. Plus Rush Hour 4 is happening, and the reason why is pretty unusual. That and more on this weeks episode.
