Insane Gamer News: Xbox Toaster, Minecraft Movie & More!

Hello and welcome to the Sunday news with cadea that’s me which is basically just notable gaming Tech and Implement news from the past week but as quickly as possible it’s ADHD friendly today we’ll be covering the highlights from the first week in 2024 starting with Arcane season 2 is coming to Netflix in

November 2024 it’s such a good show Even if you know nothing about League of Legends and if you haven’t caught up yet well you’ve got 10 months to do so amaran recently launched her own influencer AI That’s allegedly based on her own personality and it can send

Custom videos photos and voice notes it also apparently cleared 34,000 in Revenue in its first 24 hours so clearly there’s a demand for it the only question I have is do you think I’d be able to interview her AI for a video it’s been announced that Jack Black will

Be playing Steve in the liveaction Minecraft movie I’ve got nothing else to add on that because I know nothing about Minecraft does Steve even have a story in the game who knows the Pokémon company has donated 50 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross to Aid earthquake

Rescue efforts it’s really not been a good start of the year for Japan and I’m hoping that that’s the last of their bad luck bosser Studios the company responsible for Surgeon Simulator and I am Brad recently laid off 19 people which equates to a third of their total

Workforce this is just the latest in layoffs in the gaming industry after a pretty turbulent year to work in video games I’m praying that we see a change in 2024 a 13-year-old boy Willis Gibson made history by beating Tetris and by beat we mean that he hit level 157 and a score of

999,999 causing the game to freeze this is the first known instance of that happening and was previously thought to be impossible and then a sky news reporter went viral after covering the achievement by saying as a mother step away from the screen go outside get some

Fresh air beating Tetris is not a life goal first of all I’m really glad that not all mothers put down children and downplay their achievements second of all she knows nothing about his life or goals the boy actually dedicated the wi to his father who had passed a month

Earlier and his father was very supportive of his gaming head was probably a really great distraction for him thirdly what is an appropriate life goal then I didn’t realize we weren’t allowed ones that Revol around our passions literally anyone can read a teleprompter and be a douchebag to

Children you know on a brighter note the creator of the game and the company’s founder both surprised Willis with a zoom call to congratulate him that’s sweet Star Citizen is apparently going to be selling a ship back DLC that’s going to cost $48,000 and remember that’s for a game

That still hasn’t actually released and it’s been in Alpha for about 10 years this DLC apparently includes 175 ships and players must have already spent $10,000 to purchase the bundle I’ll admit I know very little about Star Citizen but this confuses me it seems insane heck I don’t even let myself buy

Like all the pretty skins on Rainbow Six Siege this isn’t really gaming news but I do think it’s pretty cool that we can now officially say that GTA 6 is coming next year move over Xbox fridge it’s the Xbox toasters time to shine it’s currently available in the US at Walmart

And in France at micromania but will be rolling out globally over the next month I also realized after writing this script that I was actually sent an email back in November asking if I wanted one and I have no idea if my management replied I don’t even own a toaster right

Now which have changed their guidelines yet again and are no longer allowing implied nudity I’m sure we all saw that one coming however I do wish there wasn’t separate rules for female presenting people and everyone else that seems a bit strange to me a streamer was

Accused of making crack in a car park while live on stream and of course it was extra Emily she was actually making steak next to an Outback restaurant to do a her steak versus their steak type comparison and while yeah it does look pretty sus she cleared it up quickly and

I don’t know I swear whenever she opens her mouth it’s like the least threatening and polite voice the steam Awards results are in and they’ve confused everyone I mean I love Starfield but most Innovative gameplay is not really accurate and we shouldn’t be rewarding lack of innovation the more

Confusing one for me was Red Dead Redemption 2 winning the labor of love award an award specifically for devs who continue to nurture and support the game when was the last time it got a major update what did it do in the last year to deserve this I’m not saying that it’s

Not a good game but just like Starfield the award doesn’t really fit however given it’s just the seam Awards and ultimately down to player votes chances are people were just voting for the games that they’ played and you can’t deny that both of those are very popular titles Tim Kardashian’s Hollywood game

App is shutting down after a decade that was a thing for a decade the Mickey Mouse horror game has had to change its name already after being accused of using Nazi terminology and it’s true a game about gassing and infestation with 88 in the title seems very suspect but

The devs maintain that they only went with 88 because it’s set in the ‘ 80s and they like the symmetry of the number 88 now it genuinely might be an unfortunate coincidence but I personally think that’s a bit too hard to believe however saying that I do know many many

People in my life who are so far detached from this kind of thing they would have no idea of the significance of the 88 number the game is now going to be called infestation Origins and I won’t be playing it either way because you know horror am aous Star Wars

Outlaws is still on track to release this year Disney recently B out a Blog stating it would launch in late 2024 which was promptly corrected by Ubisoft to just 2024 now I might be stupid because I don’t see the harm in saying late 2024 unless it’s releasing earlier

In the year but I’d be surprised if it was earlier in the year given we don’t currently have a release date who knows Wizards of the Coast Apex Legends whack Xbox and game inform former have all been criticized for allegedly using AI for their art with Wizards actually

Doubling down and saying that they didn’t use AI look I’m not anti- aai at all I use it a lot but AI should complement your workflow it shouldn’t be replacing a job that could have been carried out by a human for example in this case artists that they can

Definitely afford to pay jukai Studio has shut down just a couple months after releasing the game Stray Souls poor reception to what reviewers are describing as an unpolished horror game that misses the mark as well as multiple cyber attacks led to this decision Pokémon have recently launched lach a

Dragonite themed collection with Fendi in honor of 2024 being the Year of the Dragon now there are actually some really cute pieces here but of course they are fendy prices so way out of my budget fans are also annoyed and rightly so about them selling a Dragonite plushy

For over £1,600 which sold out by the way made exclusively from lamb and C lever I know a big part of Pokémon is making cute animals fight each other but that’s not nearly as bad as slaughtering baby animals to make something like this if fendy is also out of your budget

Don’t worry you can pick up a Pokémon Go version of the fendy Dragonite Hood hoodie for your avatar by redeeming this code in game and you can also get your hands on an exclusive t-shirt and hat by spinning sponsored Poké stops at participating fendy retail and pop-up locations PlayStation and Xbox are

Fighting again last week PlayStation posted this tweet about the acuza titles in their sale all pretty good prices by the way then Xbox quickly followed up with a reminder that you can play all of these and more with game pass at least it was a fun back and forth and the only

Issue I have with this is that you will need to block out about 6 months in your calendar to finish all of those games all right now let’s move on to the notable gaming releases for this month War hospital is releasing on the 11th Prince of Persia the Lost crown on the

18th Bullet Storm VR for psvr 2 also on the 18th The Last of Us Part Two remastered is January 19th Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy is coming on the 25th like a dragon infinite wealth is coming on the 26th Tekken 8 is also sharing that day on the 26th and at
