This week, Marques, Andrew, and David talk about the Google XR headset, Nintendo Switch 2 rumors, and even Bluesky verification before getting into some AI videos that Marques got using Google Veo 2. After that, we take a look back at some of our predictions from last year to see if anyone got it right before making some predictions for what we think is going to happen in 2025.
