activision, adam sandler, air bud, amazon prime video, ariana grande, avatar: fire and ash, avatar: the last airbender, batman, battlefield, battlefield 6, bethesda, black panther, buffy the vampire slayer, call of duty, clair obscur, comic con, coyote vs acme, critical role, darth maul, dice, disney, dreamworks, ea games, ea sports, eddy murphy, eyes of wakanda, family guy, fantastic four, fantastic four first steps, friday the 13th, gaming, geek, gen v, god of war, guerilla games, happy gilmore, happy gilmore 2, horizon zero dawn, hulu, invincible, james bond, james cameron, john cena, league of legends, legend of vox machina, looney tunes, lucasfilm, lucasfilm animation, machinegames, mcu, meet the parents, microsoft, movies, nerd, netflix, nintendo, oo7, palworld, paramount, peacemaker, playstation, playstation 5, pokémon, ps5, rick & morty, riot games, robert kirkman, robin williams, ronald d moore, san diego comic con, sdcc, south park, spinal tap, square enix, star trek, star trek starfleet academy, star trek strange new worlds, star wars, steven yeun, superman, taron egerton, tencent, the bad guys 2, the boys, the las of us, the pink panther, this is spinal tap, tv, video games, walt disney pictures, warner bros, wolfenstein, x-men, xbox, xbox game pass, zootopia 2
I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!
