It sounds like we're getting a new Mandalorian and Grogu trailer during the Super Bowl. I know the first teaser trailer didn't go over well with everyone, so what can Lucasfilm show in the Super Bowl spot to get you excited? I'd like some establishing of the general stakes so we understand why this story had to be a movie instead of season 4 of the TV show. The first teaser didn't really do anything in setting up what the story is. I know Lucasfilm likes secrecy, but I think this is a case where they need to peel the curtain back a bit more.

I wanted to see Send Help but the winter storm kept me inside during its opening weekend. I'll get around to it eventually.

There are so many remakes and remasters these days, so if you had the power to get one greenlit, what game would you pick? Outside of the PlayStation franchises of my youth (Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper), I would love a modern remake of the first Resident Evil. Have it be in the style of the RE2 and RE4 remakes. I haven't played the first RE game because I keep holding out hope Capcom is gonna do this at some point. Feels like easy money for them.

In terms of new releases, I'm looking forward to Resident Evil Requiem. Excited to play as Leon again! I recently started a replay of Rise of the Tomb Raider. I want to do Rise and Shadow before Legacy of Atlantis comes out (I replayed the first reboot last year). So that'll keep me busy until Requiem is out.

First thing that comes to mind is Luke's first lesson to Rey in TLJ.

I'm looking forward to seeing Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. That looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Brand New Day is the big one. I'd also like to see a new Mando and Grogu trailer. Maybe one that actually gets people excited?

I have started catching up on some Oscar nominees. I watched Blue Moon last night and If I Had Legs I'd Kick You the other day.

I got my PS4 the first weekend of COVID. I had no idea Sony was about to announce PS5 for later that year lol. I was like "Of course"

Yeah, I feel like we've gotten to a point with graphics where they're so advanced now I don't even know where they can go from here. Arkham Knight came out in 2015 and looks like something that could have been released last year.

I agree. Spider-Man 2018 was so special. I love the whole Insomniac series. Can't wait for the next game. Honorable mentions: The Spider-Man Neversoft made for PS1, the Spider-Man 2 tie-in game for PS2.

The initial rumors were PS6 could come out in late 2027, but now I'm seeing that it could be delayed for a bit (rising cost of RAM playing a role). Personally, I'd be fine if PS6 didn't release until 2030 or something. I think since it takes longer to develop games now, console generations should last longer to reflect that. I'm perfectly happy with my PS5 and am in no rush for another one.

If we get Doom killing Thanos, it might be worth it

I was really looking forward to seeing where the Plagueis tease was going. Would have liked to seen at least Season 2 to wrap things up

Gaming for me as long as there's power.

If I had the power, I would make it. I was curious to see what Tomlin had in mind, and as someone who grew up with the Raimi trilogy (that was my intro to Spider-Man), I feel like he deserves a shot to make one more and definitively end his series on a high note.

I've tried to get into GTA V a few times since I got back into gaming (2020) and kept bouncing off it. Might be a hot take, but I'm not the biggest fan of how Rockstar games feel to play. I love the presentation and how lived-in the open worlds feel, but yeah I agree with the mechanics.

Me too. I played Rayman Legends for the first time last year and that was a lot of fun. I second what Amanda's saying. I don't understand a big live-service push. It didn't work for PlayStation and I don't think it'll work now. I was really bummed out about PlayStation's pivot to live-service. I only play single player games, and we could have gotten great new games from Naughty Dog, Bend, Bluepoint, etc. if they just stayed in that lane. Same thing's happening with Ubisoft now.

This looks great. Can't wait to see more of Maul. Shout out to Lucasfilm animation for correcting one of the prequels' biggest mistakes (killing Maul too early). He's become a very interesting character.

Now that the nominations are out, what's getting added to your watchlist? I have a handful. I need to watch Hamnet, Sentimental Value, and Train Dreams. Want to check out If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and Blue Moon too.

I'm not lying when I say the opening credits sequence of Rocket singing along to the acoustic version of Creep will be one of my personal defining film images of the decade. That has stuck with me since I saw it in theaters. Perfect way to set the tone for what's coming.

I know next to nothing about this IP. Never followed it. But the trailer caught my curiosity. Looks like it could be a fun summer blockbuster.

The Acolyte. I wanted to see where that Plagueis tease was going, goddamnit.

I fist pumped when I saw F1 in Best Picture and Amy Madigan in Best Supporting Actress. Super cool to see those two get some love. Very happy for Sinners, One Battle, and Marty Supreme. Those were probably my three favorite movies of the year. My gut feeling has always been this is PTA's Oppenheimer moment, but wouldn't be against Sinners getting the win. Leo vs. Timmy in Actor is gonna be a tough call for me. Big fan of both. I was never the biggest fan of The Revenant, so I'd like to see Leo win for a movie I actually enjoyed watching lol. But Timmy earned it too.

We all have favorites we could replay any day, but what's a great game you think is one and done for you? My pick would probably be Cyberpunk 2077. I played it after all the updates and the Phantom Liberty expansion came out and had a blast with it, but it took me a very long time to get through. If I were to do a replay, it'd eat into time to play other games, and there's so much else out there to play. I have relatively small windows of time for gaming during the day, so slowly chipping away at an RPG for a few months isn't all that appealing to me.
