Its that magical time of year, when all the games are announced, and the big 3 come together! I'm talking about, wait, no, E3 is gone, but its spirit lives on, in this disjointed days of virtual press conferences. Xbox had their Games Showcase and didn't show any of the tentpoles, Summer Games Fest knocked it out of the park with Resident Evil 9, and IGN Live tried to fill in some gaps. Plus, The Phoenician Scheme, Predator Killer of Killers, and Ballerina from the World of John Wick all get reviewed.

Also, Jon Stewart returns to the daily show, and honestly that's what America needs right now, please let him be unhinged Comedy Central, please. Plus Palworld has quite literally taken over the gaming world, who knew "Pokémon with guns" would be this successful.

And just like that, Thrawn is alive, and in person in Ahsoka. Would I have believed you if you told me five years ago Thrawn would appear in person, probably not, yet here we are. Also Microsoft really needs to find staff members that can upload a redacted document, that stays redacted. Because those leaks are no joke, especially when "private" emails are made public. Also It seems like the Writers may have scored a major victory against the studios. That and a hell of a lot more, come take a listen.

Will the ActivisionBlizzard deal ever stop making for great content? Because at this point its the gift that keeps on giving. Paradox interactive announces a slew of new games and DLC including Cities: Skylines II, Starfield finally has a new release date, and Google Admits it can't do cloud games alone. Paramount+ pulls the plug on Star Trek Discovery, maybe? Jon Bernthal joins the MCU, The Mandalorian shows a Star Wars beast of mythical proportions and Star Trek Picard brings back and old enemy. Also what's going on at Lucasfilm in regards to Star Wars film future?

Looks like those AMC Stonks really worked in our favor, (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. I am overjoyed that I don't have an AMC near me, because if I did, I would be even angrier. Any who, we had a Pokémon-less Nintendo Direct, but it was heavy on the Zelda, The UK and the EU write stern warning in regards to the Activision Microsoft Deal. Sony has a great gaming quarter, and the Switch jumps to #3 all time. The Justin Roiland drama heats up to a new level, and makes me happy about Rick & Morty's future, The Bad Batch may have peaked, and we get to return to Point Place, Wisconsin for another summer. Meanwhile we have what's new on Streaming, as well as news out of Disney, and of course, the aforementioned nonsense coming from AMC.

That and more come take a listen.
