According to ScreenRant The next movie in The Conjuring universe will start filming this summing. There has been no official synopsis of the movie released but it is expected to cover the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson which is more popularly known as “The devil made me do it” case where she tried to argue she was possessed by the devil and that’s why she did the things she did. How good that would turn out is anybody’s guess, but I am willing to give it a shot. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Xbox Phil Spencer Wants Gamepass On Everything
As reported by Digitaltrends and during recent interviews with Geekwire Phil Spencer has said they want to put Gamepass on anything people play games on. To paraphrase the entire interview (which can be found in the links above) they know they won’t sell billions of consoles because not everyone wants to own one nor is it a part of everyone’s lifestyle. With Gamepass being sold on everything from Xbox, to PC to mobile they want to make games as a service a big part of their business model.
Now Phil stopped very short of uttering the words PlayStation but he certainly seems to imply they are open to the idea of Nintendo and Sony getting in on the action as a way to get Gamepass out there. Now I know it sounds insane, but is it really? It would be another place for gamers to use Gamepass and it is money in everyone’s pocket. I don’t see it happening, but Microsoft seems to be open to the idea. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sylvester Stallone To Make Super Hero Movie?
Cinemablend is reporting that Sly is interested in making and staring in his own superhero movie called Samaritan. It is reportedly attached to his production company and is about a young boy that finds a missing hero that went missing after a battle a couple decades ago, which we can probably assume would be played by Sly himself. The concept is interesting and worth keeping an eye on I think. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
What Nobody Really Talks About In Video Game Reviews
With Anthem coming out and Xbox VP Mike Ybaraa essentially attacking reviewers I feel obligated to talk about certain things that many people just don’t discuss or talk about so much.
My first big example is many times we are sent games well before a game comes out, I got Disgaea about 2 weeks before it came out, and there is another game I am currently working on that is under embargo for a while (meaning I can’t really discuss it at all) until almost the end of the first week of March, the 5th if you want to be exact. That means the company is having me review it before any patches are released. They send these review copies out knowing full well that is the version getting reviewed, so the argument of waiting for patches really has no merit.
The other thing most people never really discuss is reviewers, most notably smaller ones like myself or places with one or 2 people doing all the reviews are constantly in a state of working under a deadline. Sometimes we have to beat a 60 or 70-hour game in a week or two while working our regular jobs. Truthfully I don’t know a single reviewer that would change this unless it was to make this our full-time job, this isn’t a complaint. Sometimes tho, things do get missed sadly and we won’t always have time to beat those larger games 2 or 3 times. (Tho I will say this, a game like Resident Evil 2 isn’t finished until you see the story with all the characters the way it was meant to be)
Other things we don’t really discuss is the times we honestly just don’t want to play a game. Not necessarily because a game is bad, tho that happens, but just because we simply want to play something else. More than a few times I have friends have said hey Savior come and slay monsters with us or we have a war to fight and I REALLY wanted to, but I needed to get that review game done. There are plenty of perks tho.
One great example is getting to work with great companies like Kalypso Media or NIS America and Modius games. Getting to try games like Empire In Ruins, Revisited. literally as one of the first people ever that wasn’t involved in making the game was awesome. Or when Kalypso Media sent me Railway Empire PS4 Pro Vs Xbox One X (And yes both consoles) was great, it was a game I was going to buy anyway and I got to try and compare it for both systems. This isn’t something I ever would have gotten to have done otherwise.
Despite the fact that many times perfection is expected from reviewers, and yes I have gotten a few messages cursing me out from people that disagreed with reviews it really is something I wouldn’t trade for just about anything. Many of the people I have gotten to meet I only met because of gaming and reviews and some of the experiences have been great. So please, cut reviewers a little slack, we are only human. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Chris Hemsworth As Hulk Hogan
In a future that I don’t think anyone could ever have predicted, there will be a Hulk Hogan Biopic he will be played by, well Chris Hemsworth. Yes, the man that plays one of the most renowned Super Heroes of the last 20 years will now be playing one of the most renowned professional wrestlers of all time and honestly, all I could think was, who is going to play Macho Man Randy Savage? Obviously, he will have to play heavily into this biopic. Well, I have the one and only answer, and the picture is below. So enjoy, and best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Valve Retires Non-Gaming Steam Content
Variety reports that Valve will be getting rid of its video section and a bunch of stuff will be pulled since apparently, most people don’t seem to care. This doesn’t really surprise me since honestly it is gaming launcher and people use it to play games and with a growing number of launchers out there, most notably the Epic Games launcher they really will want to streamline things for customers. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
