September 7, 2026:

Let's jump straight into the PlayStation State of Play that came out a few days ago and go over some of the announcements that were made there and the Japan one. Then talk and predict a little about the upcoming Nintendo Zelda and General Direct that will release within the next few days after this episode comes out.

Then we deep dive right into the lush jungles of Pandora as I go over James Cameron's Avatar (not the last airbender). It's an almost 20 year old move at this point but does it still have the same impact as it did when it first came out?

And finally, you know me, I'm not done with it yet so I'll continue to yap and ramble on just a smidge about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition as I approach the 70 hour mark in Chapter 6.

Now embarking from the nearest port to you at episode 11. Your trip ticket grants you the following:

The news!

Grand Theft Auto VI got its extended reveal. Xbox reveals more info about their disc to digital program. Gamescom had a lot of new game trailers. Elden Ring is released on Nintendo Switch 2. Stellar Blade gets a shiny new action trailer for Nintendo Switch 2. Witcher 3 remastered is revealed and is a free update for all owners of the game both physical and digital.

The movies!

James Cameron's True Lies and Titanic. Feels like they hit both ends of the spectrum of what kind of movies he makes so let's talk about it and explore the action comedy to the period romantic drama.

The games!

Just a little bit of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition this week. Unfortunately didn't get as far into the new chapter as I had hoped.

Episode 10 is here at last. Getting to double digits now. Next goal is triple digits!

I talk a bit about how the show title came to be and I actually introduce myself, your host, Horizon. Hello Hello. Because it's a mostly gaming podcast so I'll go by the username I run with.

Today I discuss some news on GTA VI leaks, The Duskbloods Network Test, and Crunchyroll.

***PLEASE BE AWARE OF SPOILERS IN THE MOVIE AND GAME SECTIONS COMING UP***

Then it is on to the movies I've been watching and I dive into freezing temperatures with James Cameron's The Abyss. And then it's to save the world from Skynet with Terminator 2 Judgement Day.

And finally to close it out because 40 hours of game time so far and I'm still nowhere close to being done, its time for more yapping about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition up to the start of chapter 5. Don't worry I'll just be complaining about the blade gacha mechanic again.

Yes this is episode 8. No it isn't called Memoriam. It is called Memento. And yes The Prestige came out after Batman Begins and Inception came out after The Dark Knight. Phew, now that that is out of the way I'll have a little ramble about Christopher Nolan's other movies: Insomnia and Following. Unfortunately no Memento this week because I thought I had it but I actually didn't. So it'll be for another time.

Then let's talk about the Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave Nintendo Direct, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI to be shown on Netflix at the end of August, and a little tidbit talk on the Legend of Zelda movie.

And finally to close it out, just more talk on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition.

I briefly talked about some Christopher Nolan movies last week so lets talk a bit more about some of them, mostly the Batman Trilogy and what I loved and didn't love about them. Next week we'll probably go over some more so stay tuned.

Then onto some quick news from Xbox and their upcoming physical to digital initiative. And a quick word PlayStation had about ending physical media in 2028.

And to end it, a quick talk/rant about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition and my early experiences replaying the game with the new update.

No dumb episode title here. Let's reexamine it later so for now, it is what it says it is.

A very quick talk on the movies I've watched aka Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. I'll come back to revisit these movies more in depth as I try to finish all the other Christopher Nolan movies.

Then to the meat and potatoes I react to the last console showcase, the Xbox 2026 Showcase. Watch the video on YouTube as well to get my reaction throughout.

We're still doing it in this heat, no rest for the wicked who go on this arduous journey back home to Ithaca. For it is in this journey that we may find out more of who we are.

Anyway a little Persona 3 Reload talk. A little The Odyssey movie talk. A lot of late reacting to the Playstation State of Play from June 2026 talk.

There seems to still be an issue with the audio that I need to figure out so apologies again for the bad static. I need to figure out what's going on so many thanks for sticking with me on that.

Dabbled in GarageBand and made an intro and outro for the podcast. We'll see if it gets flagged and taken down. If it does I'll reload it without them.

Otherwise 50 experience gained. Level up!

Onto episode 4, it's more of the same in the game's industry and that's not really a good thing. Layoffs hitting Xbox hard. PlayStation still doing their no physical games starting 2028.

I'll go over a bit of what I've been playing, heads up it should be the last time I talk about Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition Switch 2 Edition.

Talk about some movies I've been watching like Tenet.

Then for the remaining time, we'll be doing a new thing, past due reactions on events. In this episode it will be going over the Nintendo Direct from June 9, 2026. So let's watch it together...again.

It'll be a long one but stick with me and we'll get through it.

Under careful consideration and clearly against the doctor's wishes, we're going full steam ahead into episode 3.

Minions & Monsters? Check.

Football talk? It's there.

No more new physical games from Playstation in 2028? Readings are off the charts.

Xbox spinning off and selling studios? We need you to sit down sir.

Xenoblade Chronicles again? Nurse, I don't know how he's still conscious.

Apologies for the scratchy sound, I think the microphone might have been clipped awkwardly on me and kept rubbing against my shirt. I'll figure something out for the next episode hopefully.
