Jackass is returning to theaters, but at what cost? GameStop is closing stores, are you surprised? Plus reactions to the Golden Globes, and more!

I never thought I would say the words " a planned community brought to you by Disney" yet here we are just a few weeks into 2022. Also on the docket, Microsoft vows to change the culture at Activision, and also vows to keep CoD multiplatform. Cyberpunk 2077 finally receives its next gen updates, and becomes the game it was meant to be, a year and a half later. The Super Bowl is come and gone, and that means, trailers, trailers, trailers. Plus, The Book of Boba Fett knocks it out of the park for its season finale.

If it wasn't blatantly obvious, todays top story is the review of Mortal Kombat! Also PS5 is outdoing projections. Xbox has a solid Q3, Titanfall 2 sees a spike, and Little Big Planet is up in the air. The Falcon and The Winter Solider nails its landing, and we haven't seen the last of Justice League Unlimited. The Oscar goes to a MCU director, Captain America 4 is in the works. Adam Wingard might not be done with the Monsterverse, and the streaming wars aren't slowing down.
