This week the guys talk about their NYEve celebrations, the MCU, the Call of Duty franchise, and much much more!
In this episode, host Travis Chappell and his producer Eric kick off 2026 with a tongue‑in‑cheek look at “getting rich” in Grand Theft Auto V versus actually building wealth in real life. Using a viral GTA video that breaks down the “five best businesses to buy” in the game, they unpack why it's so tempting to grind for fake money while feeling stuck financially—and where that logic breaks down if you're unhappy with your real bank account. Along the way, they swap stories about ultra‑strict childhood rules on movies and games, why sleepovers now feel like a hard no as parents, and how leisure fits into a healthy, ambitious life. On this episode we talk about: A GTA V creator teaching “five businesses that will make you rich online” and how his million‑view content is actually an example of turning play into a real income stream. The difference between enjoying games as a hobby versus pouring five hours a day into them while complaining there's “no opportunity” in real life. Childhood stories about not being allowed to watch certain movies or play certain games, calling parents from sleepovers, and the weird logic of which ratings were “okay” and which weren't. How becoming parents has flipped their perspective: less concern about temporary tattoos and game ratings, more concern about letting kids sleep at other people's houses at all. The rise of creators who build channels around nostalgic games, movie tie‑in titles, or walkthroughs—and how that can turn low‑effort fun into a monetized side project. Why modern games and social platforms are engineered to keep you in an endless loop, and how that “vortex” quietly delays people from ever taking real swings at their goals. The nuanced take: you don't have to be “grinding 24/7,” but you also can't expect big financial changes if every spare hour goes to escapism. A brief tangent into IP consolidation (Saudi money, Activision, Bond, DC, Lord of the Rings) and how massive ownership shifts change what shows, games, and stories get made. Top 3 Takeaways Hobbies are fine—until they clash with your goals. Playing GTA or Call of Duty isn't a moral issue; the problem is when you're miserable with your finances yet still spend all your free time in virtual worlds instead of building real skills and income. You either monetize the passion or own the trade‑off. The GTA creator in the clip turned his obsession into a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers; if you don't want to do that, that's fine—but then you have to accept slower financial progress without blaming “lack of opportunity.” Most “successful people” aren't gaming all day. High performers might still play, but usually after they've already put in serious work; expecting similar results while investing most of your energy into entertainment is a mismatch in inputs and outcomes. Notable Quotes “If you're spending five hours a day playing video games and also complaining there's no opportunity, you can't be mad at the results you're getting.” “That guy grinding GTA businesses is actually making real money—because he turned his gameplay into content, not just a way to escape his own life.” “Do whatever you want in your downtime, but don't be shocked when the people who spend that same downtime learning and building get very different outcomes.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

There are few things that could be said about Venezuela that have not been said already and there are few perspectives or opinions not rooted in echo-chambers and political contradictions and hypocrisy that could be stated. On this episode we will analyze the analysis, or lack thereof, being provided about Venezuela. From shifting narratives about drugs and oil to Maduros's multiples changes of wardrobe to years-old and AI videos showing Venezuelan celebrations; from Call of Duty game plots to the Israeli preparation for an overthrow of the country, and from alternative media pushing the economic hitman model to claims about stargazes.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This week on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we are joined by Courtenay Taylor, one of the most recognizable and prolific voices in gaming and animation. From Jack in Mass Effect to the Sole Survivor in Fallout 4 and Resident Evil 6's Ada Wong, some of gaming's most iconic characters all share one very familiar voice. Courtenay has voiced more than 175 video game roles, including Caiatl and Amanda Holliday in Destiny 2, Juhani in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Serina in Halo Wars, and major roles across Diablo IV, Call of Duty, and the DC and Marvel universes. You have also heard her as the Matron of Ravens on The Legend of Vox Machina, KO on OK KO Lets Be Heroes, Starla on Regular Show, and in shows like American Dad, Family Guy, and X Men '97. We dive into her journey through massive franchises, what it is like becoming the voice behind so many legendary characters, and her work as a voice director on AAA game titles. Courtenay also talks about NerdsVote, the nonpartisan organization she co founded that brings voter registration opportunities to pop culture conventions across the country.Special Guest - Courtenay Taylor https://www.courtenaytaylor.com/IG: @CourtenayTaylorLABlueSky: @CourtenayTaylor.bsky.socialAll socials: @NerdsVoteHost: Jared Gonzalez.

I'm hosting at Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 next week! We remember Vince Zampella, who we tragically lost this week. He was a force in the gaming industry, even if you weren't someone who regularly played the games he brought to us. Nvidia has announced that a 100 hour per month limit is coming to ALL GeForce Now customers starting January 1st, where previously it was only for new subscribers. I took a look at Daytona USA VR in VRChat and discussed why VRChat is the metaverse billionaires wanted.

Ha llegado la hora de despedir el nivel 2025 en este juego rogue like que llamamos "vida" y, si bien estuvo lleno de bugs, la historia fue medio tirada de los pelos y pareció lleno de contenido generado por IA, decidimos celebrarlo en el episodio 588 de Café Fandango. Además, vas a escuchar a Gus que está probando una nueva distro de Linux; a Edu, que si te cuenta en qué anda en el Hades 2 tendrá que matarte, pero sí puede hablar del Loco Motive y del Ball x Pit. Seba, por su parte, terminó el Avowed pero encuentra excusas para seguir jugándolo, además de plataformear "barato" con el Daniel in Danger. Luego pasamos por las pocas noticias de la semana: Konami quiere hacer la gran Call of Duty con el Silent Hill y se retrasa el próximo juego de James Bond. Finalmente, leemos un resumen del 2025 hecho por GamesIndustry.biz, aprovechamos la Pregunta Fandango para hablar de los mejores momentos del año y cerramos revisando nuestros objetivos anuales 2025, y armamos la lista para el 2026.

Is Die Hard a Christmas Shooter Movie? Only this podcast would know!We discuss:- Call of Duty's rare public admission of failure and what the end of back-to-back sub-franchise releases actually signals.- Marathon's delay, $40 price point, and why fiscal calendars still distort launch strategy.- Why Valorant Mobile exploded in China, and why Western mobile shooters keep failing to break through.- EA hiring a VP of Shooters for mobile, and whether Battlefield or Apex can realistically return to phones.- Highguard's confused reveal, the danger of losing narrative control, and why innovation still matters.- Marvel Rivals as a ceiling, not a failure, and what the hero-shooter arms race gets wrong about retention.
Karą Azovo pulko žvalgas Dmytro lygina su kompiuteriniais žaidimais. „Battlefield“ ar „Call of Duty“, tik realybėje“. Jis dažnai erzina kovos draugus klausimais apie mirtį ir sako: „jei nesi tam pasiruošęs, tavo vieta bent jau ne kovinėje grupėje“. Kariai mokomi susitaikyti su mirties galimybe, bet niekas jų neruošia būti karo belaisviais. „Nėra tokio kurso“, – sako Julijanas, jūrų pėstininkų kuopos vadas. Ši garso dokumentika parengta NARA žurnalistams lankantis Ukrainoje 2025-ųjų rugpjūtį. Tai garsiškai intensyvus žvilgsnis į tai, kaip ukrainiečiai bando išlikti nežmoniškomis sąlygomis bei sugrįžti į save iš vietos, kuri tave kaip žmogų bando ištrinti.

Welcome to episode #254 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with how season 1 has been coming along for us so far, and how we have been avoiding burnout in this game. Every year we see people play nonstop at the beginning of the year, only to then fall off towards the end of the year and barely play. With the support multiplayer has gotten and with ranked play rumored to be coming in season 2, we share our opinions on why we haven't felt burned out, and what we are looking forward to working on when ranked is released. Finally, we close with a discussion around the challengers scene for competitive COD. Many new names are surfacing, and people are claiming that some of these players are the next superstars in the CDL. We give our thoughts on challengers right now, the growth it's been experiencing, and if we think some of these players will make their debut this season. What are your thoughts on COD burnout? Do you usually experience it, and if not, what do you do to keep yourself busy playing? Are you staying motivated knowing that ranked play is coming out? Finally, what do you think about the next class of professional players? Will we see these top amateurs make their debut this year, or will they have to wait? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week. https://discord.gg/zFg9sV6KFollow us:Twitter: @TheCODCasualsInstagram: @TheCODCasualsTikTok: @TheCODCasualsContact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

New reports suggest Call of Duty could arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 as early as 2026, but nothing has been officially confirmed by Nintendo, Microsoft, or Activision. This speculation ties back to Microsoft's previously announced commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms following the Activision Blizzard acquisition. While no specific title, timeframe, or technical details have been announced, the conversation has picked up again as Switch 2 support discussions continue. For now, this remains unconfirmed and should be treated as industry speculation rather than an official announcement.Content Creation Gear https://n64josh.com/elgato use code N64JoshFor ad-free episodes, subscribe here. https://anchor.fm/nintendo-power-cast/subscribeConnect with meMy Nintendo Switch Recommendations: http://n64josh.com/amazonDiscord: http://n64josh.com/discord Twitch: https://twitch.com/n64josh Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/n64josh Twitter: https://twitter.com/n64josh

We also take time to honor a devastating loss to the video game industry. Vince Zampella — Battlefield franchise lead, Call of Duty co-creator, Respawn Entertainment founder, and one of the most influential figures in modern gaming — has tragically passed away. We reflect on his legendary career, from Medal of Honor and Call of Duty to Titanfall, Apex Legends, Star Wars Jedi, and the record-breaking launch of Battlefield 6, and discuss the massive legacy he leaves behind. On the news front, Naughty Dog finds itself back in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. A new report reveals mandatory overtime (crunch) imposed on staff to complete a demo for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, reigniting conversations around workplace culture, missed deadlines, and sustainability inside PlayStation Studios. We discuss what this means for Naughty Dog, Sony, and the broader industry as crunch continues to clash with modern development values. Plus, we dive into: • Our full PlayStation Wrapped 2025 breakdown • Naughty Dog landing firmly on the “not nice” list this year • A look back at the highs, lows, and turning points of 2025 • Community reactions, reflections, and end-of-year takes This is a packed, emotional, and thoughtful send-off to 2025 — celebrating what went right, questioning what went wrong, and remembering one of gaming's true legends.

The Epstein file dump, released this week, included redacted and deleted files, some of which were later re-added. Did the DOJ do this to protect survivors and victims, or to protect the predators and perpetrators? There are also photos of the prison cell in which Epstein apparently died by suicide, but the images don’t add up. Also, a tragic car accident on the Angel Crest Highway near LA has claimed the life of Call of Duty developer Vince Zampella. To more on the Epstein files, the video of the financier, abuser and sex trafficker apparently attempting suicide in his prison cell has turned out to be fake, hence why it was removed from the file dump. Andy loves on Skeletor, the supervillain from “Masters of the Universe.” Another listener phones in to tell us the story of his favorite Christmas present from high school, his new ski jacket. Last Saturday in the Bay Area, a fire at a PG&E substation knocked out power for 130,000 residents — for two days! There are still a few thousand people currently without power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hunting and fishing camps are some of the best places to meet new people and make lifelong friendships. There is a special bond that is formed that changes the direction of many lives. When these friendships are bonded, God can do amazing things through those whom He puts together. Today's guest is a pastor who goes above and beyond the call of duty. While many pastors faithfully serve year after year within the wall of the church, there are a few others who work outside those walls. This pastor works outside the church, not just in their hometown church, but all across the country to help churches reach others for Christ, through the outdoors and athletics.

Send us a textPlayers were trading digital loot under trees in MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online games) long before NFTs existed. That single image sets the tone for this conversation with Rudy Koch, cofounder of Mythical Games and veteran of Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, as we unpack what truly drives Web3 gaming forward: behavior, not buzzwords. We talk about how blockchain formalizes a desire that's been in games for decades and why the path to mass adoption starts with joy, fairness, and social connection, not a chain logo.We dig into the hardest problems builders face right now: user acquisition, player liquidity, and the messaging split between crypto diehards and the mainstream. Rudy explains why “market the fun, not the tech” is more than a slogan, and how platforms with built-in audiences change the calculus. Telegram emerges as the surprise winner, offering scale, a growing dev ecosystem, and browser-native access that lets teams ship fast, learn faster, and avoid million-dollar dead ends. We connect that trend to what's already proven in Asia with chat-first game ecosystems, and why Reddit, X, and WhatsApp are poised to become the next distribution rails.AI shows up as leverage on two fronts. Inside the studio, it compresses content pipelines and boosts prototyping speed for small teams. Inside the game, it acts like a tireless live ops producer, learning what each player loves and crafting hyper-personalized events, challenges, and offers that keep sessions fresh without relying on brute-force grind. The result is a practical playbook: pick platforms that grant liquidity, translate technology into clear player benefits, build community roles that matter, and iterate toward an experience that solves a real need.If this conversation helped you see the space with fresh eyes, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves games, and leave a quick five-star review so more builders can find it.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on November 20, 2025.

The Game Awards have come and gone, leaving in its wake a whirlwind of game announcements, release date reveals, and fresh perspectives on our industry. Indeed, there's something for everyone, a draw for all comers. For starters, what's new? Two Star Wars offerings, Larian's secret Divinity project, Jonathan Blow's long-awaited Order of the Sinking Star, a sequel to Remedy's Control, Toshihiro Nagoshi's anticipated Yakuza rival Gang of Dragon, two Tomb Raider games in the form of a remake and something unseen, a Cyberpunk-like called NO LAW, and even Mega Man 12 -- well, Mega Man Dual Override, anyway -- to keep Colin fed, and more beyond that. And new looks, too, at PlayStation games like Saros and 4:LOOP, as well as Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Exodus, and Phantom Blade 0. And then there are the awards themselves, and the pomp and circumstance, and... well... there's a lot to discuss! Plus, we have all of the non-TGA happenings from the past week, too. PlayStation Wrap-Up is live, Deviation's cancelled second party shooter has leaked, London Studio's cancelled multiplayer game has seemingly reemerged under a new team, Call of Duty might be in trouble, and so on. Then: Listener inquiries! Could MLB: The Show succeed on PC with a Football Manager-style experience? Does Netflix really see no value in WB's gaming assets? Is a rumored $1 million for three minutes of advertising at The Game Awards too much? Remember when Dustin called DW from Arthur Double D?
