On this week's episode Patrick talks about this experience buying his first ever copy of Call of Duty and listening to Fire and Blood on Audible. Niall also talks about his experience so far with God of War Ragnarök and The Calisto Protocol Helix Station Drama Podcast. In Gaming news this week, there is a possible PS5 redesign coming in 23/24 with a smaller die-size to combat the pandemic shortages and future risk. With that is a potential design change of the current tower shape of the PS5 with the removal of a stand. This is also in conjunction with the rumour of an external disk drive. Avalanche has also shown 40 minutes of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay with combat, character creation and customization. Ahead of its closure, Google has started refunding customers early for purchases made on the Stadia service and Sony has joined forces with NCSoft for a possible Horizon MMORPG. This is most likely part of their live-service plan for 2023. In unfortunate news, EA has made the decision to stop the Project Cars franchise and they want to focus more on an open-world, community driven driving game with “ long-term live services that will engage global communities”.

The Last of Us factions could be free-to-play with Sony principal monetisation designer of Fortnite, Anders Howard. “Howard has been in the games industry a long time, serving more than seven years at Epic Games. While he was there, he "helped form the core of Battle Pass progression strategy" for Fortnite, according to his LinkedIn. He also consulted on the Battle Pass integration for Rocket League and Fall Guys”.

In movie news, Ana De Armas is possibly in a spin-off series of John Wick and Sam Mendes talks about the original plot of Skyfall. Quentin Tarantino was asked about directing a MARVEL movie, and his answer is very accurate and honest. Warner Bros have been going through a huge change with management, but two things they want to focus more on is the Harry Potter franchise and release more movies in cinemas and not direct-to-streaming. And finally, Niall and Patrick talk about the new Netflix series The Witcher: Blood Origin that comes to the streaming service on December 25th.
