Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

Well folks its finally happening, a Mafia game set in Sicily at the turn of the 20th Century! I am very excited! But that wasn't the only news out of Gamescom this week, another Bethesda title is going multiplatform, old franchises are returning, and new adaptations are unexpectedly coming! Also, don't go after actors for roles they play, they aren't really those characters! Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing. Nic Cage, now here's a guy, will be playing John Madden, and forget the chicken sandwich war, Chick-fil-a is jumping into the streaming wars.

HI Peanut! Boy was that Deadpool and Wolverine trailer just glorious. Just inject it straight into my corneas. Also, Embracer group was apparently not too big to fail, as they are splitting into 3 sperate companies. Meta announces new partnerships for the quest, and a price drop for the Quest 2. Jack Black is unsurprisingly playing Steve in the Minecraft movie, Sony wants to buy Paramount, and Zoolander 2 was a wake up call for Ben Stiller. That and more, come take a listen.

Also Xbox wants to bring AI to your support page, and Saber Interactive assures us the KoToR remake is "alive and well". Also WarnerBros wants to poison us with another Matrix movie, Christopher Nolan becomes a Sir and Sam Raimi is practically begging for The Secret Wars directing job. Plus a hell of a lot more!

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.
