[Sony's record profits]
Despite the fact that the PS5 is a scarce commodity (and it will be for a long time, because all factories in the world are said to be working at full speed and PS5 reportedly its components are not the top priority), this does not prevent Sony from achieving record sales profits. Even the PS4 didn't sell so well in the comparable time. I will probably buy my console at the beginning of next year.

[First cross-play ever]
Gentlemen and ladies, I think we are on the verge of further changes. Decades ago, when I was a child, my friends and I sometimes wondered what it would be like if we could compete with each other - my friends on their consoles, and I on my PC. For many years, this was impossible due to technology and network architecture, but over the course of these several years, both of these things have changed. 20 years ago (at least in Poland) there were only modems, today we have optical fibers that allow you to download huge files in a few minutes. When it comes to technology, there is more and more emphasis on a smaller number of exclusive games (which are more and more often like that only for a while) + the price of individual components has dropped quite low. And therefore Microsoft has announced that "Halo Infinite" will be playable on both Xbox (both XOne and new models) and PC. I'm not going to play, because I'm not a fan of this title, but I will definitely be watching this news. Maybe someday there will be a title that I like and then I will use it.

[Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order]
In summer, all owners of this game (i.e. those from PS5 and new Xboxes) will get a free update for their new console. If someone has not bought this game yet, the new version will be cheaper by 70%.

[TV series about Pamela and Tommy Lee]
As reported by Deadline, Taylor Schilling (actress known for her lead role in the series "Orange is the New Black") was hired for one of the roles in the mini-series about the relationship ... Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. I am happy to watch it, because I remember the movement caused by their sex tape and the relationship itself. It can be a good comedy.

[Son of Kong]
Legendary and WarnerBrothers both had success with their "Godzilla vs Kong" so are already thinking about a sequel. Adam Wingard is also to deal with the continuation. According to preliminary reports, the next film is to be about Kong's son. I'm not a fan of Monsterverse so it's hard for me to comment on that, but as for me, I'd love to see Kong as a father. To date (April 29), the film has grossed nearly $ 407 million.

[TLOU movie]
There was supposed to be a film based on TLOU, but the studio heads disagreed. Why? Because the filmmakers wanted to focus on the action at the expense of the plot and the calm, quiet atmosphere. So they opted for a series format that is less risky and more affordable. In my opinion, it was a good decision - a movie like this could harm the game and ruin its reputation.

[Black Phone]

[Michael B. Jordan]
Michael B. Jordan referred to rumors that he is going to play a black version of Superman. So far he has denied it, but as I said several times, as long as it is not a hard denial, it is better not to take this information for sure.

[New movie with J.K Simmons]
STXFilms and ThunderRoad (the studio behind "John Wick") have teamed up to produce "National Champions". J.K. Simmons will star in the film.

[Another Round]
As reported by Deadline, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson have purchased the rights to the American remake of the Danish movie "Another Round". I heard that it's a very good movie and it's worth watching, so I will probably catch up this year and write my review.
