648: Gopilot
1w ago01:03:49Tap to summarizeNicolas Cage is playing Spider-Man in a black-and-white 1950s noir series that's out at the end of this month, and somehow that's not even the wildest thing discussed this week.Asha Sharma quietly killed Xbox's Copilot integration, an AI assistant that was officially announced as recently as March. Luke is so relieved he can barely contain it. Between that, the price cuts, and the achievement system overhaul, we try to work out whether she's the real deal or if Microsoft just had a drawer full of approved changes waiting for someone new to take credit.There's also the question of what Peter Molyneux knew and when, as his new Fable-adjacent game Masters of Albion gets caught up in accusations that its predecessor Legacy was a crypto rug pull. We trace the full sorry arc from CryptoZoo to Hawk Tuah to Johnny Depp drinking his investment wine, and end up somewhere near 'nobody learns anything.'On the genuinely good news side: Alien Isolation 2 is real, Conan Exiles got a surprise free Unreal Engine 5 rebuild that looks stunning, The Guild is crowdfunding a 20th anniversary reunion movie, and the new Resident Evil film from Zack Cregger looks considerably better than its early 'road trip comedy' reputation suggested. Plus Luke has opinions about every movie coming out for the rest of 2025, and the Terminator 2 35th anniversary theatrical run might actually be worth seeing in 70mm.No AI on xboxSteam Controller: The Ars Technica review - Ars TechnicaMeet the players who lost big money on Peter Molyneux’s failed Legacy - Ars Technica"Alien: Isolation 2" Game Location Gets Teased - Dark HorizonsSony’s PS5 sales plummet amid price rises and a memory crisis | The VergeThe Nintendo Switch 2 is getting more expensive later this year - Ars Technica"Disclosure Day" Stirs "Close Encounters" Talk - Dark HorizonsTeaser Trailer: Zach Cregger's "Resident Evil" - Dark HorizonsCregger On "Resident Evil" Timeline, Leon Absence - Dark Horizons"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" Returns To Cinemas - Dark Horizons"The Guild" Reunion Movie Is Happening!!!"Odyssey" Trailer Stirs Daddy & Accent Debate - Dark HorizonsFull Trailer: Nic Cage Is "Spider-Noir" - Dark Horizons

647: Xbox is the new Xbox
3w ago01:09:04Tap to summarizeLuke left a Rabbitohs game at halftime (they were up 24-0, which apparently is suspicious rather than reassuring) to record this, so you're welcome. The big Xbox news: Game Pass is cheaper now, but Call of Duty won't be day one anymore because apparently people were actually buying it and Microsoft noticed the gap in their wallet. Project Helix will be a real Xbox you can buy — not just a chip inside someone else's handheld — though the 'available as' phrasing has Matt convinced ASUS will also be selling one. The Black Flag remaster looks sick in motion even if some of the screenshots are weirdly picked. Conan Exiles is getting a free UE5 glow-up on PC, which interrupted Matt's current Dune Awakening era where he basically just pops in every few days to top up his shields. In other news: the guy who leaked the new Avatar movie is in serious trouble in Singapore (Luke's taxi driver once warned him not to pick up a leaf from the ground there, so yeah, that tracks). Tim Cook is out at Apple. And somehow they ended up talking about a 1994 Super Nintendo game that was originally going to be a Hellraiser shooter. As you do."Airbender" Leaker Could Face Years In Prison - Dark HorizonsJohn Ternus will replace Tim Cook as Apple CEO - Ars TechnicaXbox Cuts Game Pass Price, New "Call of Duty" - Dark HorizonsXbox Clears Up A Project Helix Rumor, Raises More QuestionsReport: Xbox Game Pass Could Soon Be Going Pick-Your-OwnXbox Re-Evaluating Approach To Gaming - Dark Horizons"Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced" Trailer - Dark HorizonsConan Exiles EnhancedGamers Suing Nintendo To Get Tariff Refund MoneySuper 3D Noah's Ark - Wikipedia"Avengers: Endgame" Re-Release Adds Unseen Scenes - Dark HorizonsCarano Has Talked About "Star Wars" Return - Dark Horizons

645: Moon Butt
Apr 1601:07:44Tap to summarizeArtemis 2 is back on Earth after 9 days in space, and the crew broke records.
