Is E3 dead again? seems like it. PSVR2 dead on arrival? Halo Infinite dead? why is everything dying in the video game industry??? Netflix dominated 2022, and is looking to lose it all in 2023 with their password crackdown. It also looks like 2023 is the year of the revival with both King of the Hill and Fraiser coming back. Then in the biggest news of the week James Gunn and Peter Safran finally lay out their grand design for DC and somehow it includes Booster Gold.

Those Microsoft Layoffs may have a greater impact on gaming then we might realize, especially for Master Chief. NVIDIA and Google voice their concerns over the Activision deal, but stop short of jumping in Sony's bandwagon. Pour one out for Stadia, as today was its final day. Mark Hamill gives and update on playing the Joker, Spielberg wants to jump into TV, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are coming back. Meanwhile the BatVerse is more real then you realize, James Cameron hits another Billion, and Rainbow Six is coming to the big screen.

Well the Golden Globes huh, how about them apples? Also how are no physical games being sold in the UK, that makes absolutely no sense. Some genre defining directors are making some missteps, WarnerBros is trying out a "were sorry" approach, Paramount+ makes some interesting choices for non Star Trek Properties.

That's right, we got a lot more sequel announcements at The Game Awards then anyone may have expected! And we aren't done with awards, as the Golden Globe Nominees were announced as well, and it looks like were in for an interesting ride. Meanwhile what the hell is going on at DC, James Gunn seems to have a massive amount of possible or not possible leaks on his hands. Meanwhile, the FTC is now the third regulatory body to "look deeper" into the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

What made the Fallout TV show so much more appealing this time around? AMC is facing its own Walking Dead, Netflix has a hit with Wednesday and Disney+ is bring in more Fox properties. Andor ending on the highest note possible. Meanwhile Indy 5 impressed Harrison, James Gunn hints at whats to come, the Cocaine Bear is getting the movie adaptation it deserved!
