October 5, 2026:

Of course I lost my audio. It wouldn't be a new episode if it didn't start off that way. Any way this is me redoing the whole episode from scratch. Apologies for the low volume.

This episode we go over:

Artificial Intelligence being used in Capcom's game engine and processes and my thoughts on its' impact. And then artificial intelligence being used in AI up scaling for PlayStation's new QSSR on the base PS5 console and how that bodes for their future development.

Then I enthusiastically gush over Jumanji, the 1995 movie starring Robin Williams.

And finally I hurriedly try to go over some of my experiences of Witcher 3 Remastered and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64).

On my first recording of this episode I got all of it under an hour but here I apparently went over time, go figure.

I just realized my episode titles are getting into Anime light novel territory of length so I need to start shortening them.

Anyway for this week's episode we have the following

Some quick news on Hideo Kojima's Physint and some spec leaks on the next gen consoles.

We then figure out who the culprit is in this whodunit movie Clue.

And finally we close the book on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition after 128 hours. And what a ride it has been, I will continue to sing its praises as one of my favorite games of all time.

Episode 14 and still no pumping the breaks yet. Come with me on this ride as I once again forget to introduce myself in the episode itself, it's Horizon by the way.

We'll explore the not too eventful news:

Blizzard announces some new StarCraft and Diablo games coming way too far out in the future.

IGN interviews Hideo Kojima on the recent change from jumping to Xbox for his next games.

Some quick reactions to reviews coming out for Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, and touch upon Wolverine once more.

Then let's jump into the reefs of Pandora once again in Avatar: Fire and Ash and what I liked and didn't like about the movie.

And closing out, having another go at the game you love to hear me blab on about, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition.

September 14, 2026:

Lucky episode 13! Why lucky? Because I'm still able to get another episode out and that alone is enough reason to celebrate!

Let's hit the ground running with some news:

Marvel's Wolverine by Insomniac Games reviews drop and they are definitely scores.

Kojima Productions split with PlayStation on Physint. Now Xbox has scooped them up for both that and OD.

Two Nintendo Directs because two PlayStation State of Plays, it's like the Sith with their rule of two. This is where I will briefly talk about Xenoblade 2 as well.

Then let's grab some popcorn for me to yap about James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water and what worked and what didn't for me.

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.
