I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!

The Pokémon company had a presents and showed off more TV than games, Xbox rolls back a controversial pricing plan, and why are video games getting popcorn buckets?

Episode 351: Wide Angle Lens

Academy Awards, Assassin's Creed, COD, Dragon Age, EA, Final Fantasy 7, MCU, Phil Spencer, Playstation, Resident Evil, Sony, Spider-Man, Square Enix, Star Trek, TV, Xbox, agatha all along, assassins creed shadows, beyond two souls, bioware, blops 6, call of duty, call of duty black ops 6, compulsion games, david bowie, dc studios, dcu, disney+, doom the dark ages, dragon age: the veilguard, dunk & egg, emilia perez, epic games, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george rr martin, hbo, id software, james gunn, jurassic park, jurassic world, jurassic world rebirth, labyrinth, mass effect, mass effect 5, max, movies, nerd, ninja gaiden, ninja gaiden 4, nintendo switch 2, nvidia, palworld, paramount, paramount+, platinum games, pocketpair, psn, robert eggers, sony interactive entertainment, south of midnight, star trek section 31, supergirl, superman, team ninja, the matrix, the oscars, ubisoft, video games, westeros, will smith, xbox developer direct
How about that Superman Trailer....people need to chill. Is Bioware doomed? Is Xbox really going to change to publishing? The Oscars controversy continues, and Robert Eggers is heading to the land of Labyrinth, which I miss David Bowie even more. Also Fans need to chill, for real....
