In this episode...
--> Early reviews of the Borderlands movie are calling the live-action film adaptation of Gearbox's looter-shooter everything from a "huge misfire" to a "disaster" to a "lifeless, unfunny, and visually repulsive dud."
--> Palworld's profits are so massive that its devs' next game could "go beyond AAA," but the company’s CEO doesn't want to wield "such an enormous budget."
--> Bungie was reportedly going to pull the trigger on layoffs regardless of The Final Shape's success, due to leadership under-delivering on “financial promises” to Sony.
--> A real-life goldfish named Tortellini just beat Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss.
--> Also: Top 3 New Releases, Retro Rewind!
