If the title wasn't a giveaway, we have learned that Charles Martinet will not longer be the voice of Mario in future Mario games, tis a sad day in gaming. Yet at the same time Gamescom is currently going on in Germany, and we got a wealth of gaming news to talk about. Activision pulled the lid off of the Modern Warfare III, Atari is trying to make another comeback, and oh yeah, Microsoft is selling Activision streaming rights to Ubisoft. Meanwhile in Hollywoodland, the WGA continue their strike and call out the big three, Disney announces a slew of physical releases for digital only shows, and Ahsoka is the best live action Star Wars show, full stop. Plus I give my honest opinion about my top 10 favorite 80s movies.

We had some big gaming news over the last week between EVO 2023 and Pokémon Presents, thus giving us something to feast on before Gamescon. Meanwhile there has been a lot of movement out of Hollywood, not necessarily on the strike front, but news nonetheless. Barbie made a billion in under 20 days, Disney+ is following in Netflix's footsteps, and while Max is pulling a pandemic Netflix. Lin Manuel Miranda wants to adapt a classic for the stage, and Pixar isn't worried about the future. We cap off the show with the best movies from the 1970s.

If the title wasn't an indication of the news then I don't know how to tell you this. But Good Burger is coming Back! Good Burrger 2 was announced, among other things. But the Second Dominion war seems to be heading our way in the star trek universe, the Unreal Engine is literally forging new paths, the Power Rangers are back, and Shazam 2 was funnier then it had any business being.

AMC, Adult Swim, Dexter, Fire Emblem, GTA V, Injustice, Metroid, Netflix, Playstation, Rick and Morty, Sony, Star Wars, TV shows, The Legend of Zelda, WoW, Xbox, Xbox 360, activisionblizzard, advance wars, amazon prime video, assassin's creed valhalla, atari, avatar the way of water, banjo kazooie, bayonetta, billions, bob iger, brendan fraser, constantine 2, crossfire x, detective pikachu, discovery+, disney, disney+, elizabeth banks, fawlty towers, frozen, game boy advance, gameboy, gladiator 2, gta vi, guardians of the galaxy vol. 3, hbo, hbo max, hogwarts legacy, james cameron, katamari, kevin costner, mario kart 8, metroid prime remastered, mlb the show 23, movie theaters, movies, netherealm, nick offerman, nintendo, nintendo switch, octopath traveler, overwatch 2, paramount+, pikmin, pokémon, professor layton, ps5, regal, seth rogan, showtime, solar opposites, sony interactive entertainment, sony playstation, splatoon, star wars visions, superman, take two interactive, that 90s show, the bad batch, the boys, the clone wars, the grammys, the last of us, the mcu, the negro leagues, titanic, toy story, video games, world of warcraft, xenoblade chronicles, yellowstone, zootopia
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.

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.

Why does Nintendo always have such poor community outreach? At least when it comes to games that aren't Pokémon. is there more trouble brewing for the Microsoft acquisition of ActivisionBlizzard? 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!

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are out, and not looking too hot. A major shakeup at Disney, Ubisoft drops some news, A power Ranger leaves us, and Indy goes digital. Meanwhile the future of DC is on the horizon, the MCU has some interesting things in its future, and Fast X is apparently out of control.
