  • Charles Martinet Retires as the Voice of Mario and Microsoft Closes the Xbox 360 Shop

    Charles Martinet Retires as the Voice of Mario - My Thoughts

    I'm sad to hear that Charles Martinet is retiring as the voice of Mario. He has been the voice of Mario since 1994, and his work has helped to make the character one of the most recognizable and beloved in the world. I've always loved his performance as Mario, and I'm going to miss hearing him in new games.

    In this video, I'm going to talk about Charles Martinet's retirement, the upcoming closure of the Xbox 360 store, and the recent decline in quality of Pokémon games. I'll also give some recommendations for the best Xbox 360 games to pick up before the store closes.

    What do you think of Charles Martinet's retirement? What are your favorite Xbox 360 games? And what do you think about the decline in quality of Pokémon games?

  • Physical Games, TMNT Developers, and Assassin's Creed Coming Early

    EA will be shutting down online services for several games later this year, including Crysis 3, Dante’s Inferno, and Dead Space 2. This means that the multiplayer modes for these games will no longer be playable. Crysis 3 will be the first to be affected, with its servers shutting down on September 7th. The remastered version of the game, which does not include multiplayer, will not be affected. Dante’s Inferno and Dead Space 2 will follow on December 8th. This will also affect the online co-op mode for Dante’s Inferno and the Outbreak mode for Dead Space 2.This is not the first time that EA has shut down online services for older games. In recent years, the company has also discontinued online support for games such as Battlefield 3, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and Need for Speed: The Run.The reason for these shutdowns is likely due to the cost of maintaining online servers for older games. As games get older, the number of players who are still playing them decreases, which makes it less financially viable for publishers to keep the servers running. #gaming #Collection #Collectors

  • Davos Returning for Game of Thrones Spin-Off, Leaked Ahsoka Casting, and More Witcher in the Works

    Andrzej Sapkowski, creator of The Witcher series, has confirmed he's working on a new book within the fantasy franchise, the first addition since 2013's "Season of Storms." In a live-stream interview with Ukrainian fans, Sapkowski revealed his ongoing work on the novel, but he's cautious about discussing projects before completion. The details of the new book are unknown, leading to speculation about whether it will follow Geralt of Rivia or explore a prequel storyline. Its adaptation potential by Netflix's Witcher series is uncertain, given the challenges of translating Sapkowski's complex narratives to the screen.
    In the world of television, despite mixed reactions to the Game of Thrones finale, the franchise remains strong. The success of the House of the Dragon spinoff has paved the way for more ventures in Westeros. Kit Harington, known as Jon Snow, is developing a Game of Thrones sequel, generating anticipation. Liam Cunningham, who played Ser Davos Seaworth, is open to joining Harington's new series, even suggesting "Better Call Davos" in a text to Harington. #GameofThrones #TheWitcher #TV

  • First Look at Hayao Miyazaki Final Film and The Emmys are Delayed

    Studio Ghibli surprised fans by sharing the first images from Hayao Miyazaki’s final film, “The Boy and the Heron” (also known as “How Do You Live?”), ahead of its North American release. These detailed, lush, and vibrant images depict a grand and mystical world, reminiscent of Miyazaki’s previous works like “Castle in the Sky” and “Spirited Away.” The film, based on a 1937 novel, marks Miyazaki’s return from retirement, as he felt compelled to create one more feature-length film. While a North American release date has yet to be announced, the movie is expected to hit theaters in the region by the end of the year. Johnny Hardwick, the voice actor of Dale Gribble on King of the Hill, died on August 8 at his home in Austin, Texas. He was 64. Hardwick had been with the show since its debut in 1997 and had also worked as a producer and writer on the show. He was nominated for an Emmy for his work on the show in 1999.

  • Red Dead One Coming to Switch and PS4, TMNT Join Street Fighter, and August Gaming

    Rockstar has announced that Red Dead Redemption and its zombie-themed Undead Nightmare expansion will be available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch from August 17. The game is being ported by Double Eleven Studios and will also support PlayStation 5 backward compatibility. This is a "conversion" rather than a remaster or remake, and it includes additional language options. The price will be $49.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop and PlayStation Store, with physical copies coming on October 13. There's no mention of PC or Xbox versions, disappointing PC players. The game follows John Marston's journey to hunt down the remaining members of the Van der Linde Gang in the American west and Mexico, and the Nintendo Switch and PS4 versions include the Undead Nightmare expansion with a zombie theme.

    In another announcement, Street Fighter 6 will have a crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). TMNT-themed gear, emotes, titles, stamps, and costumes will be added to the game on August 8. The collaboration was revealed at EVO 2023 and includes a TMNT-themed storefront, character costumes, turtle-like emotes, and other in-game items. While not full DLC characters, this partnership offers a blend of the two franchises and coincides with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in theaters and the upcoming arrival of the original 1987 TMNT series on Nickelodeon. #gaming #TMNT #reddeadredemption
