Sony’s State of Play ran for about an hour and fifteen minutes on June 2nd, 2026. We’re going to condense all that into a rundown that tells you everything that was presented and our brief thoughts on the featured games. No more introduction needed, let’s get to it. Wolverine There was quite a bit of footage shown of the game to kick things off. If you’ve played Insomniac’s Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, then it seems like this isn’t far removed from those in terms of action. The big differences are the amount of gore on display and how Wolverine is…

Backrooms and Obsession have quickly become two of the biggest hits of 2026, as well as some of the most profitable, in terms of their budget. Let’s look at the latter of the two. Reportedly, Obsession had a budget that, at its highest estimates, was around 1 million dollars. As of the time of this writing, it has grossed $156 million. The math there is pretty easy to figure out that it’s made 156 times its budget. If The Mandalorian and Grogu wanted to see that kind of profit return, the film would have to make 25.7 billion from its…

Note: Product Supplied by Manufacturer Back in the days of the COVID-19 quarantine, I knew I was going to be working from home quite a bit. I didn’t have much of an office setup but knew that a chair was going to be necessary. I bought one from Big Lots. It was a fairly standard office chair, nothing special. I knew there were better chairs, gaming ones especially. I figured it wouldn’t matter that much. So, I bought my office chair, put it together, and used it for the next six years. Had I known then what I know now,…

Despite the age and the traditions of the Olympic Games, they are an ever changing entity. New events are added and older ones are removed over time. This is nothing Earth shattering, it’s part of how the games stay relevant. Speaking of which, when was the last time you heard someone speak of the Modern Pentathlon? Exactly. You haven’t. Until today that is, because it’s adding elements directly from Ninja Warrior into it. What the Hell is the Pentathlon? The Modern Pentathlon is not an event that you probably think much about in the summer games. It’s a combination of…

It’s one of only a few shows to be truly known to almost anyone in America. It’s also one of the only shows to continue to exist in pop culture relevance almost two decades after it ended. We’re talking about To Catch a Predator. Hosted by Chris Hansen, the program featured sting operations that were set-up to catch pedophiles attempting to meet up for sexual encounters with minors they’d met online. It has a movie coming out about it called, Primetime and the first trailer for it has dropped. To Catch a Predator When discourse around this show takes place,…

The Brave Little Toaster is one of the best pieces of animation. Ever. If you’ve seen it then you know why. If you haven’t seen it then this probably sounds like hyperbole. Many films get talked up as one of the best so why should this be any different? Well, considering the film finally dropped on Disney+ on May 25th, 2026, now’s a good time to go into it. A Brief History Of ’80s Disney In 1987, the Disney Renaissance had not yet happened. That would come two years later in 1989 with the release of The Little Mermaid. What…

Death is never something that is easy to digest or report on. No matter how famous someone is, the impact of their passing will ripple through people. For Canadian actor, Stewart McLean, his case was originally that of a missing persons. Unfortunately when he was found, he was already dead. Even more unfortunate, his passing is being investigated as a murder. The Sequence of Events McLean’s case started on May 18th, 2026 when he was reported as missing. Prior to this, the last time he was seen was three days prior on the 15th at his home in Lions Bay…

We’ve covered some interesting product recalls here at Nerdbot. You may recall the radioactive shrimp debacle of 2025. Sadly, cost cutting and unsanitary conditions have created situations like this. How do radioactive isotypes find their way into shrimp? How does asbestos find its way into children’s toys? It’s a question that shouldn’t have to be asked. Regrettably, it does have to be asked and parents have to be on the lookout for certain toys that need to be disposed of. Between February 2025 and April 2026, both Walmart and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet sold some squeeze toys in the shape of…

In 1966, one of the most incredible records in the history of popular music was released. You may have heard of it. It’s called “Pet Sounds” by The Beach Boys. Even if you don’t much care for that era of music, you can’t ignore what the album does. It has lush arrangements, incredible vocal harmonies, and a haunting emotional atmosphere. It was the culmination of a tremendous amount of effort from the band’s creative force, Brian Wilson. If you haven’t experienced it, the San Diego Zoo is giving you a chance to do so in a unique way. We should…

Musical biopics have been big business for years. For John Ottman they’ve been award winners. Ottman did the editing for the recently released Michael and won an Academy Award for editing on Bohemian Rhapsody. Now he’s going to be directing the film, Billy & Me about Billy Joel. The only problem is, Joel never consented to his life being told in this story. What we end up having here is a case where Joel seems to be completely right. However, this could also be a legal gray area that this project finds itself in. A person’s life is their own.…
