  The Western animation industry is in TERRIBLE shape in 2026, as we've been saying. And now a recent CalArts grad talks about just how bad the job prospects are right now. And CalArts itself is in shambles -- the school is in financial crisis, and the president got booed at the 2026 graduation ceremony. RIP beanmouth?

  Japan DOESN'T CARE if You're Mad About AI in Video Games. 19.09.2026 23min

  A study says 85% of Japanese game studios are now using generative AI, and more than half of those use it in their workflow everyday. Meanwhile, Americans are trying to get Level-5 to GROVEL for forgiveness using AI in Yokai Watch. It's here. It's being adopted at a very fast pace, and there's really nothing you can do about it.

  HOLLYWOOD WILL BURN if Paramount MOVES OUT of California?! 16.09.2026 14min

  If David Ellison moves Paramount out of Hollywood, the financial damage to already-struggling Tinseltown will be IMMENSE. And Paramount is now arguing that Rob Bonta and the 11 other states don't even have a case since the merger was approved by the DOJ and the EU, and that supercedes states. So this is really just about stalling for time... until after the election?

  IGN Game Journos FAFO?! More LAYOFFS Announced! 16.09.2026 22min

  IGN is laying off a bunch more game journos, and they didn't notify the union. This comes a year after the union protested layoffs last year and said "no more, no less" when asked to take on more work. This seems to be their owner Ziff Davis' reaction to that IMHO...

  PlayStation GASLIGHTS Gamers... 16.09.2026 13min

  Sony is claiming that PlayStation gamers never thought they actually owned their games when they'd "buy" games. Now a consumer advocacy site has compiled over 40 recent examples of Sony telling gamers they actually DO own their games in their own fine print. Uh oh.

  Kimmel might not be getting cancelled, but the word from insiders is that his show will be getting massive budget cuts. Could Disney be "moving his stapler" to get him to move on to other things on his own? Will Kimmel even sign on for another year with all the FCC drama?

  Nintendo Fanboys RAGE at Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake! 15.09.2026 14min

  Some Nintendo fanboys think the Ocarina of Time remake looks like it was made with AI. They're straight up calling it "AI slop." Others are mad that Sheik -- a woman in disguise-- looks like a woman now. Regardless, this game is gonna sell like gangbusters and the Zelda Switch 2 consoles are fetching a ton on eBay.

  Wolverine SUCKS?! Reddit SAVAGES New PlayStation Game! 15.09.2026 15min

  Insomniac's Wolverine game is getting absolutely SAVAGED on Reddit. One gamer who 100% the game early says it's pretty awful and definitely not worth $70. Others, including notable gaming podcasters, said it was mid at best and a huge disapointment. Will this one recoup its cost?

  PlayStation DESTROYED Over Bad WOLVERINE Reviews! 15.09.2026 22min

  Insomniac's Wolverine game reviews are in, and they range from mid to TERRIBLE. This game is currently one of the WORST rated Insomniac games, and it's already being ripped apart by the internet. Fart gas, Wolverine and Sabretooth being romantic partners, ugly female characters, and idiot proof battles that require zero strategy. It's not looking good, and especially given the massive budget and Marvel's cut. Add to it that PlayStation has been stepping on that rake with gamers almost weekly, and it's a recipe for disaster.

  The People vs. Gorilla Grodd looks like they're not taking ANY of it seriously, but what did you expect from the James Gunn DCU? Apparently Grodd goes to college, rides a scooter and sings. And sings. AND. SINGS. This feels like She-Hulk 2.0.

  PlayStation DUMPED Kojima and CONCORD is Blamed?! 14.09.2026 12min

  PlayStation says it "parted ways" Kojima Productions and won't be publishing its Metal Gear spiritual successor PHYSINT. Journos say its because it went over budget, but gamers think Kojima's stance on physical media might've been the real reason. Apparently Sony is reigning in expense since they lost their shirts on Concord. Now he's with Xbox, which is also cutting costs... so the costs probably weren't the issue after all...

  The Game Industry Needs to GET OUT of California RIGHT NOW! 14.09.2026 26min

  The North American AAA video game studios are burning over $2 million a month just in salaries, and it's not sustainable, claims a Saber Interactive exec. He says studios need to move out of California and consider outsourcing to other countries if they want to stay competitive. I'm sure there's more than one good reason to pull out of California...

  Ubisoft WALKS BACK Xbox Disc Decision After Gamer Backlash?! 13.09.2026 10min
