February 25th, 2026 | 1 hr 6 mins
AI, Assassin's Creed, Breaking Bad, Discord, EVO, God of War, Lucasfilm, Microsoft, Phil Spencer, Playstation, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV, Venom, X-Files, Xbox, a knight of the seven kingdoms, activision, adam driver, amazon games, amazon prime video, asha sharma, bioshock, bluepoint games, call of duty, christian bale, christopher judge, cod zombies, dave bautista, dunk & egg, ed skrein, far cry, game of thrones, gaming, geek, hawaii, hbo, heat, heat 2, house of the dragon, insomniac games, jackass, jason momoa, johnny cage, johnny knoxville, kraven, madam web, marvel's wolverine, michael mann, microsoft gaming, morbius, mortal kombat ii, movies, mtv, nacon, nerd, pokémon firered, pokémon leafgreen, ps5, radical entertainment, razer, robert carradine, sarah bond, splinter cell, steven soderbergh, take two interactive, the wrecking crew, ubisoft, valve, video games, warner bros, xbox series, yves guillemot
In massive gaming news, and I MEAN MASSIVE! Phil Spencer has retired from Xbox and Microsoft and his #2 Sarah Bond resigned as well, as a questionable new CEO takes the reigns. Plus Sony plans to reboot their wider Spider-manless Spider-verse after its utter collapse, no more morbin time? Mortal Kombat 2 got a Johnny Cage filled trailer and Valve is getting sued by the state of New York and as Jackie Chiles would say: "It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"

Episode 405: The San Diego Freeway Cast

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.

That and a hell of a lot more.
