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.

July 29th, 2026 | 1 hr 8 mins
adult swim, amazon luna, amazon prime video, avatar the last airbender, avengers doomsday, battlefield, bioware, black panther 3, comic-con, comics, crunchyroll, d&d, dan hauser, dc studios, doublefine, dragon age, dungeons & dragons, ea, ea games, family guy, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george lucas, george rr martin, ghost rider, god of war, god of war laufey, grand theft auto 6, gta vi, hall h, halo, halo campaign evolved, halo studios, kratos, lanterns, lord of the rings, lucas museum, marvel studios, mcu, miyamoto, movies, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, ocarina of time, paramount, peacock, playstation, playstation 5, playstation network, president curtis, ragebait, resident evil, resident evil 2 remake, resident evil 5, rick & morty, rings of power, ryan gosling, san diego comic-con, sdcc, seth green, seth macfarlane, simon pegg, sony interactive entertainment, spaceballs, star fox, star wars detours, steam, steam deck, stewie, the legend of zelda, tomb raider, tv, ubisoft, valve corp, video games, warner bros, xbox, xbox cloud gaming, youtube premium, yves guillmot
We've got Comic-Con Updates! Marvel did not disappoint, as it lit up the airwaves, DC brought the Lanterns, and Spaceballs went to ludicrous speed! PlayStation got a big reality check as to why going digital is bad. Rick and Morty gave President Curtis his own show. And I went back to Installation 04 on legendary!

July 22nd, 2026 | 1 hr 6 mins
70mm, a24, activision, ai, amazon prime video, aston martin, avengers, avengers doomsday, backrooms, bethesda, bungie, call of duty, chrisotpher nolan, clayface, coleman domingo, days of thunder, dc, dcu, deadpool, disney, doctor doom, donkey kong, ebay, fallout, fallout 5, gamestop, gaming, geek, god of war, grand theft auto 6, gta 6, harada, hoppers, hulu, imax, infinity ward, jason bourne, knights of the old republic, kotor, kratos, lego, marathon, marvel comics, marvel studios, matt damon, mcu, modern warfare 4, movies, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, obsidian entertainment, paramount pictures, physical media, pixar, playstation, playstation 5, pokemon, pokemon go, roblox, robocop, ryan reynolds, saber interactive, sony, space marine 2, star wars, starfield, tekken, the elder scrolls, the elder scrolls 6, the odyssey, the princess and the frog, the x-files, tom cruise, toy story 5, tv, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warhammer 40k, warner bros, xbox
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!

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 finally reveals its reset, as the Sony fallout continues. Are the console wars back on, or are we marching to a collapse. Jackass: Best and Last is definitely the last, but is it the best? The Emmy nominees are out, Hollywood shifts to gaming, and what's is going on with Fast & Furious?

Supergirl or Super girl? We have a full review of Supergirl, does it deserve all the hate? Xbox just unleashed a culling, and really they need to squash the rumors, and stop raising prices. Physical media is king, and we just multiple reasons for that, as the finger can be pointed purely at Sony.
