It's been rumored for over a year, but it is finally official that Stern's next cornerstone title is... Venom. Whoa. That sounded weird. Your face is weird. Who is this? It's me, Venom. Okay, what are you doing here? I'm here because Stern is making my game. Well, I can't exactly have you here to assist me in judging this game. And why not? Because it's your game. Exactly. I will be more critical of you, Eddie. My name isn't Eddie. It's... I'm not talking to you, Kevin Loza. I'm talking about the designer of my game. Brian. Eddie. Do you think the game's gonna be any good? My game will eat your precious boy band's heads for lunch. They aren't a boy band. Is there a girl in the band? No. Boy band. Carrie, are you going to livestream? More than likely. Excellent. Hey Kevin Loza, I'm hungry.
