I'm actually gonna remain optimistic for the Detective Pikachu sequel: videogame movies are killing it right not, so I'mma hold out hope
The Sonic Movie gets a sequel before Pikachu because there is… NO JUSTICE!
Those guests are fire!!!
You know it’s gonna be good when MVG is here
1:03:49 About Detective Pikachu sequel: the last time we heard about it was BEFORE the movie was released. That movie suffered from a terrible release date, because it was sandwiched between blockbusters such as Avengers Endgame and Lion King so, as a result, it ended up making less money than it was expected so a sequel isn't likely to happen. Usually, when this happens, studio executives don't outright say the movie was cancelled because that's bad PR, instead they just let years go by siletly without any news and this is what's happening with Detective Pikachu.
MVG is just the coolest!
Pokemon Rangers movie? Maybe?
MVG is my favorite. Woohoo score!!
Detective Pikachu 2 game was announced during 2019 Pokemon conference i guess that must be cancelled just like Metroid prime 4 and Bayonetta 3
MVG is the Bill Nye The Science Guy of video game tech.
this is cool to see mVG here, however with both MVG and Spawn on here I now want a GVG rep to join spawncast at some point.
Fun fact for 39:38 you can currently Naruto run in fortnite
Every company needs to be more aggressive in taking care of harassment and abuse in online games. And I don't understand one bit the complaints about privacy. You're on a public voice chat channel, what's private about that?
I miss the bookmarks you guys would place in the video progress bar. Sooo convenient whenever I only want to listen to certain highlights.
the person running fortnight feels like a kid with a wish gennie….
XCloud is the next step for new generations and nobody is talking about it. The kind future it promises changes the game for Casual Gamers, you'll see more and more kids grow up without traditional consoles. More people casually gaming as often as they casually read and watch. They need that Apple Market push, but Apple isn't having it. Gamers seem too hardware driven to really grasp the kind of future mobile chipsets and cloud services can provide. More then ever anybody can game, your Smart TV can run dolphin if they made it compatible. Consoles are kinda primitive, and services like Xcloud can really expand the gaming population more than the Wii.
This game builder….. coming many years after Project Spark and a few years after Dream looks, erm, let's say, dated?
Yoooo, I love MVG!!!
I liked the Sonic Movie way more than the Detective Pikachu. A live action retelling of Pokemon The Movie would have been better.
whoa didnt expect mvg, why isnt he in the title
in the apple vs epic lawsuit wasn't there also other companies talking shit about apple like Invidia and others, that's what I heard when internet today talked about it in a video
$29.99 are you outta your mind?!?! 🥞
