Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

The Big Chungus will never be forgotten, as WB Games has registered a trademark in his honor. Video Game TV shows are coming, and we shouldn't have to wait very long. Lower Deck's Returns and doesn't pull any punches, while House of the Dragon brings back the intrigue and drama Westeros is known for. Meanwhile Axel Foley is back and I couldn't be happier.
