I am Not currently being sued by Nintendo, which seems to be a shrinking club everyday. LOL, I kid, but Nintendo isnt, as they win a lawsuit and begin a new one. Tony Hawk is teasing a 25th Anniversary announcement, Sony is all up in the news for good and bad reasons, and Vince Zampella has some wild takes. Borderlands ends its sad run, Donald Glover wants to bring fun back to star wars, and Gary Oldman is open to going back to the Wizard World. That plus more.

Well the summer game showcase season has begun, and the Sony State of Play kicked it all off!

Don't worry, no need to wear protective eyewear to listen to this weeks episode. This week, EA makes a few announcements, some of them late, some of them unexpected, and some of them booed. Ubisoft finally gives us a release date for Star Wars Outlaws, and gives the Prince of Persia a roguelike makeover. Meanwhile, Disney makes big announcements for 2026, Joker gets a trailer, and AMC says "hindsight is 20/20". That and more.

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.
