The future remains uncertain, but one of us always manages to predict it a little better than the other two.

Whom shall it be?

Welcome to Triple Click, where we bring the games to you.

This week we go over our video game industry predictions from 2025 and see which of us got the most correct from their

list. Of course, we make predictions for the year to come. Is this the year that Waluigi

goes to Hollywood? I'm Maddie Myers. I'm Jason Schreier. And I'm Kirk Hamilton and

Happy New Year, friends. Happy New Year. Hello. Happy New Hello. Happy New Year. It's good to be back. Pow, pow, fireworks going off in the background of this recording. They're not literally. That would be tough. Last week I was on vacation in the Dominican Republic in Punta Cana, which is gorgeous. And my kids had a blast. We were at a resort.

It was a lot of fun when swimming at the pool, hung out at the beach. And then on Saturday,

the U.S. invades Venezuela and someone on my group chats, I didn't even think about this.

Someone on my group chat is like, hey, Jason, you know they canceled all the flights

from the Caribbean. And I'm like, oh my God. And then I'm like, turns out somehow we were

supposed to fly the next day and somehow we lucked out because the Dominican Republic was not

included in the cancellations. Every other Caribbean island pretty much was canceled flights

on Saturday. We were supposed to leave Sunday anyway. But yeah, we could have been screwed or at least

majorly delayed or we could have had the benefit of having a whole new, like another, an added week

on our vacation, which has its frozen cons. So I'm actually in a group chat with Marco Rubio, so I asked him if he could. I was like, we really need Jason to be back next week. And your signal chat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We explained about the predictions that, of course, he's a huge fan. So we already knew. And he was like, we got to get Jason back in time for that predictions episode. it's mostly a thread to talk about video games but sometimes you know we talk about national security

what it what is marco rubio into what does he play a hell divers does that surprise you at all

huge fan but he he likes it he likes it yeah he thinks it's it's completely serious which of course

it is he just he thinks we live on serious, which of course it is.

He thinks we live on Super Earth, honestly.

We do now, I think.

We do.
