Its not October 3rd, but thats ok. Got a bit of a doozy this week, Sony scrubs all mention of the KotoR Remake from their socails, and acts like its perfectly normal, several Ubisoft execs were arrested by French Police, and the French Govt. raids Nvidia, its a bad day to be in the French gaming industry.

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.

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.
