Hold on to your butts 'cause it's a long one. We talk about the Activision Blizzard/Microsoft acquisition (a lot), Wordle windfall, Battlefield 2042 rumor, Lego game crunch, and the state of the industry. Trent graces us with a brilliant song (written by JD, performed by Trent, stuck in the head of Peterson). Peterson gives us his gaming resolutions, we talk about Activision IPs Microsoft should revive, and Peterson reviews Project Zomboid.
