Episode 442: Farewell, mon Capitaine!
November 4th, 2026 | 1 hr 7 mins
Bethesda, Bloodborne, EA, Forza, GTA, God of War, Harley Quinn, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, PUBG, Playstation, Sony, Star Trek, Star Wars, TV, Taika Waititi, Warhammer 40k, Xbox, activision, adam driver, anthropic, arkane, atari, atticus ross, avengers doomsday, batman, battlefront, bioware, boderlands, call fo duty, charles xavier, clayface, constantine, dc studios, dcu, death stranding, dick grayson, disney+, donald glover, epic games, forza motorsport, gambit, gaming, gearbox, gears of war, gears of war e-day, geek, generative ai, god of war laufey, godzilla, gta vi, harry potter, hayden christiansen, heat 2, hideo kojima, infinity ward, jack sparrow, jacksepticeye, james gunn, jean luc picard, johnny depp, kojima productions, lego, lionsgate, magic the gathering, mason thames, maya hawke, michael mann, mike flannagan, modern warfare 4, movies, naruto, nathan fielder, nerd, pirates of the carribbean, playground games, ps5, ram, robin, sam altman, sir patrick stewart, sony santa monica, steam, street fighter, the elder scrolls, the elder scrolls vi: sentinal, the misadventures of cliff booth, trent renzor, turn10, ubisoft, valve, video games, warner bros, x-men, you can see everything
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.

AI, Assassin's Creed, EA, EA Games, Fallout, God of War, MCU, Microsoft, PS4, Playstation, Skyrim, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV, Tom holland, Xbox, asus, avengers, avengers: doomsday, batman, battlefield, bowser, call of duty, clayface, collin farrell, dan house, dcu, dice, disney+, doug bowser, dwight schrute, elder scrolls, fallout 76, far cry, final fantasy vii, final fantasy vii remake, fornite, forza horizon, forza horizon 6, furby, gaming, geek, grand theft auto, hbo max, helldivers, helldivers 2, james gunn, jaws, kratos, leonardo dicaprio, magic the gathering, marvel studios, marvel zombies, mel brooks, movies, nathan drake, nerd, nintendo, nintendo of america, one battle after another, paul thomas anderson, peacemaker, pedro pascal, pete davidson, pif, playground games, ps5, ranbow six, rockstar games, rog ally, russo bros, saudi arabia, secret lair, sie, skyrim grandma, sony interactive entertainment, sony playstation, spaceballs, star wars visions, studio trigger, superman, tencent, the batman 2, the ghoul, the last of us, the office, the simpsons, the simpsons movie, tokyo game show, tom clancy, ubisoft, uncharted, video games, walton goggins, xbox gamepass, xbox rog ally
One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

Xbox is always finding rakes to step on, which is ridiculous. After the success for NCAA College football, EA is brining NCAA College Basketball, and no one is shocked. Vin Diesel announces the plan for Fast X part 2, and there's major concerns. Matt Reeves finally finishes the Script for The Batman sequel, and James Gunn gives us who is playing Jor El.

Was it just me or were the commercials at the Super Bowl just not as good as they used to be? Even movie trailers were lacking. Anyway, PlayStation had a state of play and announced another remaster of a game that's less than 10 years old (-_-). An American in a major Harry potter role? A law about movie roles? How bout no, and A new Rocksteady Batman???
