James Gunn is a very appreciated director, especially by his fans. He knows that fans are a really big deal and that’s why he keeps them updated as often as he can. Here is another case. James Gunn announced on September 13th that the next day he will go to Atlanta to start production on the upcoming sequel of “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Go Groot!

Even though he is very active on social media, especially on Facebook and Twitter, way back in April James Gunn posted that the sequel moved its production until February 2016. However, on September 13th, James Gunn posted a photo on Facebook of himself, Vin Diesel and James Wan from his going-away party, announcing that the next day he will leave for Atlanta to start the prep for the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Here is what he had to say about this “Two Directors One Diesel, with Vin Diesel and James Wan at my going away party last night before I leave for Atlanta for ten months to shoot GotG Vol 2. One of the best times I’ve had in a while, with so many great friends. Thanks to all who came! – with Vin Diesel and James Wan.”

James Gunn also told his fans through some Facebook comments that he will try to have some footage of the sequel for the next Comic-Con. He cannot guarantee that this will really happen, but we highly appreciate his dedication to thank his fans. Well done, James Gunn!

The director also brought out that in the upcoming sequel we will not meet too many new characters. He also wants the guardians to become more personal. It is very important for him that Peter Quill (Chriss Pratt) will remain the only human from Earth. Van Diesel confirmed that he will continue to voice Groot along with the other guardians, Dave Bautista’s Drax the Destroyer, Zoe Saldana’s Gamora and Bradley Cooper’s Rocket Racoon.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant.  Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.

The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.

Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”

This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.

What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?

It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”

It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.

Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades?  Let us leave that up to you.

Eating trash, Pizza Possum destroys the PS5

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
