Love Is Blind Season 11 heads to Boston, and Game of Roses is scouting the first 15 of 30 rookies by their Instagrams. Who is a main character, who is a forgotten, and is this the hottest cast the pods have ever seen?BachelorClues and PaceCase go alphabetically through the first half of the Love Is Blind Season 11 cast, checking follower counts, official cast photos, and Netflix bios to predict who makes the edit. Insurance agent Benita Paloja, the follower leader at around 10,000, gets called a massive main character, and skincare entrepreneur Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli and her dressed-up dogs earn the same tag. Yacht captain Blake Carver, HR generalist Cam Halloran, and account executive John Shannon look like forgottens. Along the way: Amenawon Johnson's Overwatch cosplay, attorney Brittany Bianco as a possible match for the boat guy, Diana Perrone's pumpkin heads, Jay Robinson's Celtics championship ring, Kerry Cashman's height storyline, and night-shift NICU nurse Liz Rounds, where the hosts split. With two thirds of the cast headed for the cutting room floor, the math is brutal.CHAPTERS(00:00) Love Is Not Blind(01:10) Bidness: I Love Cleveland Merch(02:28) 30 Rookies, 10 Slots(03:21) Amenawon Johnson(07:06) Aneha Singh(11:22) Benita Paloja(18:33) Blake Carver(22:05) Brittany Bianco(26:40) Cam Halloran(30:23) Diana Perrone(34:32) Erika Ellis(35:36) Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli(43:51) Jenn Mouser(50:43) John Shannon(53:59) Jonathan "Jay" Robinson(01:01:03) Kara Grumoli(01:06:00) Kerry Cashman(01:10:03) Liz Rounds(01:17:15) The Two-Thirds Cut(01:19:16) What's NextEPISODE FAQWho does Game of Roses think will be a main character on Love Is Blind Season 11?BachelorClues and PaceCase both pick Benita Paloja, the Boston insurance agent with the largest Instagram following of the first 15 rookies, and Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli, who owns a skincare company.Where does Love Is Blind Season 11 take place?Love Is Blind Season 11 is set in Boston, though the hosts note several rookies' Instagram bios list Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or Charleston too.Which Love Is Blind Season 11 rookies does Game of Roses call forgottens?In Part 1, BachelorClues calls Erika Ellis, Jenn Mouser, John Shannon, J Robinson, and Liz Rounds forgottens, with Blake Carver, Cam Halloran, and Diana Perrone on the bubble.

I Didn't Know I Needed Blizzcon - Ep 45 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD available at: https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU  Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 45! – 2:03  Let's just get to Blizzcon stuff. News – 8:03 Blizzard news is dominated by Blizzcon announcements and the follow-up announcements.  Here are the non-Warcraft announcements in order of how they affect me multiplied by their hype factor.  Then we get into the good stuff. Overwatch Reveal – 16:54 I am not an Overwatch person.  They announced a new somebody after a cool cinematic.  Don't ask me the name of the hero. Heroes of the Storm Reveal – 18:22 You can ask me the name of the new hero in HotS, it's Xal'atath!  With another on the horizon, HotS is back! Hearthstone Reveal – 23:30 Hearthstone was my entry to Blizzard games.  There is a new expansion coming soon diving back into the Black Empire.  Also, I invent my second Blizzard game in back-to-back episodes—Hearthstone Classic!  Who's with me?! Diablo Reveals – 29:10 Never really played Diablo, but with a Netflix show and an intriguing announcement of Diablo V, I'm open, or will be in 2029 when it arrives. Starcraft Reveal – 35:27 Also not a Starcraft player, but dude…did you see that cinematic?!  An open-world, story-driven shooter game just might pull me into the SC universe. Retail WoW Reveals – 49:12 All of the news related to the five remaining patches coming in Midnight. 12.2 news – 49:44 12.2.5 news – 1:02:53 12.2.7 news – 1:04:57 12.1.5 news – 1:06:04 12.1.7 news – 1:06:58 Talebound Game Mode – 1:07:12 New standalone game mode that is definitely not Plunderstorm.  Looking forward to this as a solo player! Next Remix is…Wrath! – 1:13:33 Not Shadowlands, we are heading back to Northrend to speedrun it all before the story returns to Northrend for The Last Titan. The Last Titan Teaser – 1:14:56 Slightly unexpected and thin on any details, this brief cinematic definitely teases what's on the horizon.  Giant titan robots. Warcraft III…What? – 1:22:22 An expansion for what now?  The new campaigns added to Warcraft III give us insight into the fall of Lorderon and set up the story at the opening of the next new way to play World of Warcraft… WoW Forever! – 1:28:43 Finally, we put the moniker “Classic+” to bed once and for all.  WoW Forever has enchanted a large portion of the WoW player base and this is only beta.  Launch is November 4.  So excited for this sweet spot combination of Classic and Retail, possibly greater than the sum of its parts. So, What is the Character Limit in WoW Forever? – 1:58:40 There are 52 possible combinations of race and class in WoW Forever as of the beta.  Does the character limit allow you to try them all?  At this moment, yes!  Seems the cap is 70, just like Retail. “What have you done lately?” – 2:05:18  A little bit of my bumping around in retail and switching the main back to feral druid for the rest of Midnight and beyond. Main Topic – Highlights of My Blizzcon! – 2:13:26  Talking through my own experiences with the people I met at Blizzcon! Closing Thoughts – 2:39:21 What Blizzcon meant to me.  Go figure, set the announcements and the decorations and the hype aside.  Blizzcon is about the community and the people you know or are about to know.  I fully intend to return.  And if you need to know someone at Blizzcon before you commit to going, I will be that person.  And, a couple of changes coming to the show, the kind that might make it more interesting to watch on YouTube.  Stay tuned.

Microsoft just handed the next mainline Halo to Activision, and two guys who ran a Call of Duty show for years have thoughts. Raz has been saying for five years that Halo should have made a battle royale, and he explains why it might already be too late. Jake makes the case that Halo is in such a bad spot that new developers can't make it worse, and asks what Call of Duty's monetization playbook will do to it. Then Warzone's new operator skin toggle: MW4 lets you swap every Nicki Minaj and Squid Game skin for a grounded military operator, but only on your screen. Is that the best of both worlds, or a way to please nobody? Plus Call of Duty getting Community Noted, MW4's locked carry-forward guns, and the rumored Game Pass tier with ads. GTA 6's $400 collector's edition doesn't come with GTA 6. We go through every item in the box, and it turns out to be a cocaine bundle. Rockstar's Miami takeover, the city council vote on GTA 6 beach umbrellas, and whether this is the first video game that could actually move crime numbers. Also: the WARDOGS price increase drama, Sombra moving to support in Overwatch, and Arc Raiders adding a PvE-only mode. 0:00 Intro 3:11 Patreon news and the hangout recap 8:51 Raz on Twitch and Pathfinder 10:30 Why Raz always plays evil 15:05 The BG3 dog dilemma 16:36 Remember Craigslist? 17:42 Halo is a Call of Duty studio now 20:07 Halo should have made a battle royale 22:46 Can Activision save Halo? 26:55 Bring back Forge mode 33:35 First CoD thing in the next Halo 35:57 The Halo show and video game movies 41:10 Obsidian, Rare and the Xbox shuffle 42:24 Is Xbox still a console company? 43:40 Game Pass with ads 48:27 Warzone's operator skin toggle 50:16 MW4's locked carry-forward guns 54:43 Call of Duty gets Community Noted 1:00:35 Would we turn the toggle on? 1:03:16 GTA 6's $400 collector's edition 1:05:40 It's a cocaine bundle 1:12:43 Rockstar's Miami takeover 1:16:01 Miami Beach votes on GTA 6 ads 1:20:37 Spotify x GTA 6 1:23:56 The biggest entertainment launch ever? 1:25:11 Why everyone plays evil in GTA 1:26:04 Does GTA 6 marketing even matter? 1:28:46 WARDOGS price hike drama 1:31:47 Sombra moves to support 1:37:18 Arc Raiders adds a PvE mode 1:41:00 Abandon hope, Arc Raiders fans 1:46:51 Wrap-up: Halo of Duty _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

Datacenters have become one of this election cycle's most divisive issues, but despite the outrage, few individuals truly understand what a data center is. An even smaller number possess the knowledge necessary to build them.    Founder of Overwatch and former U.S. Navy submariner, Kirk Offel discusses the rapidly evolving world of data centers, from the tech that makes them possible, to their impact on local economies and energy grids. Kirk explains how computing power has transformed into the fifth utility, the other industries that utilize data centers aside from AI, and why he believes one of these facilities coming to your neighborhood is like “winning the lottery.” Plus, Jason breaks down President Trump's strategic deal regarding Greenland and how securing polar defense capabilities strengthens long-term American safety and NATO partnerships. Bring on the Stupid: An African Grey parrot orders Amazon treats via Alexa, an endurance athlete wins a race after a graphic bowel emergency, and a university advertisement gets caught using AI tools to swap out student photos for political correctness.

Erin Catto of Kintsugiyama, veteran video game developer who worked on the Tomb Raider series at Crystal Dynamics and later contributed to Diablo III, Overwatch, and other franchises at Blizzard, discusses video game physics engines with host Jason Davey. Erin created the popular open-source Box2D library used in titles including Angry Birds and Noita, and he released Box3D in 2026, bringing the much-loved physics engine to the third dimension. Underpinning everything from platformers and racing games to industrial robotics simulations, modern physics engines present a host of interesting engineering challenges, including the need to balance accuracy, stability, determinism, and performance. Catto describes the core concepts, the various trade-offs and factors that influence the design of these systems, and how they fit into the broader software architecture of a video game.

BlizzCon just wrapped, and so there is so much to talk about we couldn't pack it all into an hour. We spent around an hour on WoW Forever, the new Classic+ that was rumored and is now coming to fruition with a sort-of alternate history. There was a lot of Midnight news too, including Talebound, which is an upcoming alt mode a la Plunderstorm. We got a small tidbit from The Last Titan, we saw Holly Longdale's impeccable outfit -- and that was just all the WoW stuff! No wait, it wasn't. There's also going to be Undead Paladins, to tie in to both a Warcraft 3 expansion and Wrath of the Lich KingRemix, the portmanteau for which is still up in the air (I lean toward Wremix, but I've seen a few ReLiches too).There were two very long-range reveals for Diablo 5 and StarCraft, not to mention a Netflix Diablo series with no ETA at all. The Hearthstone Battlegrounds new Anomaly family and the next Overwatch season (and next hero Doctrine) release next week though, for a little balance. The Hearthstone expansion Reign of the Black Empire is a bit further off, though, slated for October.Did I forget anything? Something that a frequent guest host might find terribly exciting, like a new hero for Heroes of the Storm? Eh, probably not. I'd remember something like that.Oh! Amazons! For Diablo 4! Liz was pretty excited about that. That must've been it.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

BlizzCon 2026 handed out a StarCraft open world shooter that does not land until 2030, a Diablo 5 release window in spring 2029, and a plan to turn World of Warcraft Classic into something called World of Warcraft Forever. Frank and Squeaks were both on the floor for all of it, and they came back with announcement reactions, three hour lines, a Todd McFarlane signature, and Matt Mercer running an Overwatch tabletop game in front of 8,000 people. The Warcraft talk takes up most of the hour, and for good reason. World of Warcraft Forever adds new races, new zones, dungeons and raids to the Classic version of Azeroth, including undead paladins for the Horde, with a beta starting next Thursday ahead of a November 4 launch. Frank played the five man dungeon demo on the show floor and came out talking about how much real communication a slower pace forces back into a group, while Squeaks, who has never touched Classic, walked away planning a warlock. On the retail side, the Eclipse patch and the language Blizzard kept using about closing out twenty years of story push the two of them into a long argument about whether the next expansion ends World of Warcraft and starts World of Warcraft 2 on a modern engine. Elsewhere: Diablo 4 gets Hell's Legacy with Deckard Cain back as the storyteller, a Diablo animated series is coming to Netflix with Overwatch and Warcraft adaptations teased behind it, Overwatch introduces a vampire healer whose backstory and voice were built around the actor playing him, and Wrath of the Lich King Remix only got revealed if you sat through the deep dive panel. The crowd is the one sore spot, with Frank putting attendance near 75,000 against the 40,000 to 50,000 of past years and both hosts stuck in two and three hour lines for the store and the Darkmoon Faire. 0:00 Intro and BlizzCon 2026 First Impressions 3:36 Meeting Todd McFarlane and Watching Matt Mercer Run Overwatch 6:08 Oversold Crowds, Three Hour Lines, and a Dry BlizzCon 10:06 StarCraft Returns as an Open World Shooter 14:22 Diablo 5 in 2029, Hell's Legacy, and Deckard Cain 19:52 The Diablo Animated Series on Netflix 21:28 World of Warcraft Forever and the Classic Overhaul 29:07 Eclipse, the Titans, and the Case for World of Warcraft 2 38:12 Overwatch's Newest Hero and the Wrath Remix Reveal 41:31 Final Day Highlights, T-Pain, and the Arena Championship 48:37 Recommendations, the Patreon Statue Vote, and the Forever Guild Key takeaways World of Warcraft Forever launches November 4 with a beta starting next Thursday, adding new races, zones, dungeons and raids to Classic, plus undead paladins for the Horde. StarCraft is back as an open world shooter set 100 years after StarCraft 2, but the 2030 date landed hard in the room, and both hosts worry about a Warhammer style game with no Protoss or Zerg to play. Diablo 5 arrives spring 2029, with Hell's Legacy bridging the gap in Diablo 4 and Deckard Cain returning to bring old bosses back for another fight. The Diablo animated series at Netflix is the adaptation Frank is most confident in, with Castlevania and Cyberpunk Edgerunners as the track record, and Overwatch and Warcraft projects teased after it. Blizzard's repeated framing about the culmination of twenty years has both hosts betting the next expansion closes the current story, with Frank arguing a true sequel is the only way past a 2004 engine. Attendance was the weekend's biggest problem, with two hour waits just to enter the convention center on Saturday and three hour waits for the store and the Darkmoon Faire. "When they put that 2030 on the screen, the air went out of the room." - Frank "I got to meet my dream comic book creator. I could be gone tomorrow and I would feel like life was fulfilled." - Squeaks, on meeting Todd McFarlane "That kind of communication is peak Warcraft, and that stuff is not said in World of Warcraft today." - Frank, on the Forever dungeon demo "We are reaching the limits of what this engine can do." - Frank, on why he thinks World of Warcraft 2 has to happen "There is a blood knight in Diablo Immortal and I love the hell out of it. I named him Squeaks Belmont." - Squeaks Every story covered in this episode comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com, the source for all news discussed on the show.

For the third week in a row, I have been caught unawares. As with every Blizzcon - I have to acknowledge most of this is not for me. WoW, Overwatch, even Diablo are all games I enjoy here and there, but I am by no means a major fan. So, maybe it's not a surprise that I didn't see a StarCraft FPS coming. The trailer was HYPE. And then it shows the release... 2030? And probably late 2030... So, 4 years from now? Why do companies do this? Announcing something so early is a surefire way to wear out the audience's enthusiasm by release time. Is it job security? A way to keep the execs off their back and the finger off the layoff button?

In deze aflevering van Side Quest bespreken we Nick zijn Blizzcon avontuur en alle aankondigingen van Blizzcon!

Veckans avsnitt av Speljuntan dundrar in i din poddspelare. Fullsmetat med snack om evighets-wow, K-drama (K som i Kojima) och musiklektioner med Zeldas egen Eiji Aonuma.  Efter vi sprintat igenom nyheterna dimper Elisabeths vykort från Hyrule ner och får två generalers hjärnor att sprängas. Susanne berättar sen om fnissfesten Onimusha: Way of the Sword medan Angelica har rasslat ner i brittisk kolonialhistoria i deductionspelet The Read Pearls of Borneo. Du som älskar att välja sida är varmt välkommen att göra det på vår Discord, där finns massor av sidor att ställa sig på!  Spel som nämns i avsnittet: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, World of Warcraft: Forever, StarCraft, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Diablo V, Warcraft III: Reforged, Physint, Metal Gear Solid, OD, Death Stranding, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Devil May Cry, The Red Pearls of Borneo, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Case of the Golden Idol, The Roottrees are Dead Tidskoder: (01:20) Personliga frågan (06:00) Spelnyheter (35:55) Reklam (36:40) Spelintryck  

Arrancamos con Lo + Fresco y el regreso de uno de los grandes clásicos de la historia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Nintendo ha mostrado el primer gameplay del remake y ha confirmado su lanzamiento para el 5 de noviembre en exclusiva para Switch 2. Hablamos de sus nuevos controles, cámara libre, doblaje, música, mejoras visuales y de la polémica por su nuevo estilo artístico, mucho más realista y que está dividiendo a la comunidad. Un remake tremendamente ambicioso que llegará, además, apenas dos semanas antes de GTA VI.En Made in Japan hablamos del regreso de BlizzCon, con Blizzard recuperando sus grandes franquicias. Diablo V llegará en 2029, StarCraft regresará convertido en un shooter de mundo abierto para 2030 y World of Warcraft: Forever traerá una nueva experiencia basada en el clásico WoW. También repasamos los nuevos contenidos para Warcraft III, Overwatch y Hearthstone y analizamos una BlizzCon potente, aunque con una ausencia evidente: nuevas IP.En Noticias tenemos un día complicado para Sony. La compañía abandona PHYSINT, el proyecto de Kojima, y poco después Xbox amplía su colaboración con Kojima Productions y se hace cargo del proyecto. Y para rematar, llegan las reviews de Wolverine, que se queda alrededor del 78 en Metacritic y recibe críticas por su repetitividad, poca variedad y algunas decisiones de diseño.También hablamos de Xbox y de su particular una de cal y otra de arena. Disc-to-Digital sigue creciendo e incorpora juegos de Ubisoft como Assassin's Creed y Far Cry, mientras Microsoft introduce límites mensuales en Xbox Cloud Gaming según el nivel de Game Pass: 15 horas para Ultimate, 10 para Premium y 5 para Essential.Nos vamos al Retro Gaming con el retraso de Neo Geo AES+ hasta septiembre de 2027 por problemas de suministro, aunque PLAION mantiene las reservas y ofrece compensaciones. Además, repasamos la avalancha de recompilaciones nativas de clásicos como Super Metroid, Gran Turismo 2, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye 007 y OutRun.También hablamos de DLSS 5, cuya librería apareció accidentalmente en NBA 2K27 y fue rápidamente analizada por la comunidad de modders. Las primeras pruebas muestran un coste de rendimiento importante, con pérdidas de hasta un 40-50% de FPS, mientras Nvidia trabaja en optimizar la tecnología.Y nos ponemos las gafas para hablar de Steam Frame, el nuevo visor de realidad virtual de Valve, que llegará el 18 de septiembre desde 1.049 euros. Las primeras reviews destacan su comodidad, SteamOS y streaming inalámbrico, aunque su elevado precio frente a Quest 3 es su principal problema.Como siempre, pasamos por Titulares, con el impacto del nuevo avance de GTA VI en las ventas de PS5 Pro y las previsiones de Take-Two, la nueva colección de LEGO basada en PlayStation, el estado de The Witcher 4, la actualización de Mario Kart 8 Deluxe y los nuevos juegos de Xbox Game Pass.Y terminamos con Quemando Controles, donde Nacho nos cuenta a qué está jugando con Switch 2, Project Zomboid y DOOM: The Dark Ages, mientras Dani se mete con Silent Hill F, The Operator y Super Mario World. Y, como siempre, cerramos con vuestros comentarios.Recuerda que puedes apoyar al programa y escuchar nuestros podcasts antes que nadie a 320 kbps desde nuestra web de Patreon.RETRO Super Metroind: https://github.com/mstan/SuperMetroidRecompDonkey Kong 64: https://github.com/Rainchus/Donkey-Kong-64-RecompiledCannonball: https://github.com/djyt/cannonball

Sony has lost Kojima. XBOX has found Kojima. And we go helldiving for crabs....

It's another week of the Option Select Podcast! We kick things off with our Weeks in Review, talking about what we've been playing, watching, and getting into before jumping into all the biggest gaming and entertainment news of the week. This week, we've got a LOT to talk about, including the wild news surrounding Hideo Kojima and Sony, as PlayStation reportedly dropped Physint before Xbox stepped in to pick up the project. We also break down BlizzCon 2026 and all the major announcements coming out of Blizzard's big return, including Diablo V, the future of Diablo IV, StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and plenty more. And, of course, that's not all! We run through the rest of the gaming and entertainment news that caught our attention this week, giving our usual takes, opinions, and probably a few completely unnecessary tangents along the way. So grab a drink, sit back, and join us for another episode of Option Select Podcast!

This week on the podcast, Chris will be going over all the details for what we can expect from Blizzcon 2026 such as Classi + for World of Warcraft, details for a Diablo 4 and Witcher collab, new content for Overwatch, and maybe even a new StarCraft game? Chris will take a look at the schedule and layout and provide speculation for the video game convention taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center on September 12th and 13th 2026.     You can find the video version on my YouTube channel: WoW Classic Plus, Starcraft 3 Announcements? - Blizzcon 2026 Preview - Outer Rim Transmission 239   While you are on the channel, please be sure to subscribe!    Twitter - https://twitter.com/Starrapter Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Starrapter/ Email - Starrapter@aol.com Ben - https://twitter.com/RealBenMaynard Milton - Milton Webber (@MiltonWebber7) / X (twitter.com) Email us at: outerrimtransmission@gmail.com  

The BlizzCon schedule is now live! That means the podcast crew, joined by resident Diablo maven Liz Patt, are breaking it all down. We start with discussing the schedule itself, and then move into the wild speculation we do best. The schedule also includes times and channels for watching BlizzCon on Twitch, which also includes a ton of Drops and other items you can earn from watching. Hearthstone and Diablo have the same number of panels and share a space on the show floor. Overwatch has slightly more panels, and the Matt Mercer effect, and a whole area all to itself. And then WoW has even more panels and a huge hall to fill to boot. What does it mean? That's where the wild speculation comes into play.We get into Classic speculation, what Heroes of the Storm is up to, and 30 years of Battle.net. On Diablo 5, as Liz said in the episode, we're not going to hold our breath, because we need to breathe to live.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Shooters are having one of their best summers in years, and every major franchise still can't agree on what to do about it.The crew runs through the battle pass shakeup hitting Call of Duty, Battlefield and Overwatch, breaks down why Battlefield is quietly beating Call of Duty on Steam, and picks apart Apex Legends' run as the most consistent live service in the genre. They also dig into Gears of War: E-Day's beta results against Helldivers 2, unpack why War Bonds aren't actually battle passes, and argue about why Western studios keep playing it safe while Eastern developers experiment their way to the top.Topics Covered:• The battle pass shakeup across Call of Duty, Battlefield and Overwatch• Why Battlefield is outperforming Call of Duty on PC despite the franchise's rocky years• Ranked play, Battlefield Labs and the Elite Top 250 leaderboard• What's next for Battlefield now a new mainline entry isn't landing next year• Call of Duty's tech unification and the tradeoffs it created down the line• Apex Legends' revenue consistency, live ops machine and collab strategy• Apex's growth potential in China and Japan, and the case for reviving Apex Legends Mobile• Why battle royale modes outperform arena shooters on retention• Gears of War: E-Day's beta numbers and the inevitable Helldivers 2 comparisons• The PvP versus PvE tradeoffs facing E-Day's live service• War Bonds versus battle passes and how Helldivers 2 redefined seasons• Why Arc Raiders can't copy the Helldivers playbook• The West's monetization risk aversion versus the East's willingness to experimentCHAPTERS:01:13 Battle Pass Shakeups02:33 Battlefield Engagement Surge04:13 MAU Charts Breakdown05:28 Why Battlefield Retains06:47 Ranked Mode Returns08:44 Battlefield Next Moves11:04 COD Tech Unification Lessons14:19 Extraction Mode Debate15:35 Apex Revenue and Consistency17:00 Apex Live Ops Machine29:18 BR Movement Thesis30:20 Why Arenas Feel Worse31:17 Social Sandbox vs Zero Sum33:15 TDM Translation Problem34:06 Gears E-Day Catch Up34:54 Market Size and Modes37:07 Helldivers Comparison Debate40:51 Live Service Monetization Risks44:40 Battle Pass Changes Roundup47:51 War Bonds vs Battle Passes52:58 Arc Raiders and Extraction Limits54:33 Western Monetization Fear59:13 Next Episode Tease

We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enemy, and everything else — weapon levels, perks, pipe climbing, the spawns everyone's arguing about on X — is fixing a leaky bathtub while the house burns down. Jake breaks down why CoD only takes from him now, why the lobbies are nothing but sweat, and the exact point where min-maxing your controller, your router and your ZIP code stopped being worth it. Also in this one: the Zodiac verdict (better than Area 99, roughly Haven's Hollow), the weekend 2 nerf pass, the 60% negative Steam reviews, why Warzone was in the beta at all, and a DMZ 2 prediction we're standing behind. Then a palate cleanser — Star Wars Zero Company, permadeath, and a first playthrough Raz completely ruined — plus a brutal Tarkov week, the Tarkov roadmap, GTA 6's Netflix look, and WARDOGS. Jake wanted it to be good. Raz stopped wanting that years ago. This time they agree. 0:00 - Intro 1:10 - New patrons and the latest bonus episodes 3:26 - Our first patron Discord hangout (and Death by AI) 6:10 - "The MW4 Beta Broke Us" 6:22 - How fast did we know? 9:25 - "If I can't see the guy, nothing else matters" 10:17 - The raging inferno analogy 14:55 - "Call of Duty is dead" 15:10 - Jake: CoD only takes from me now 20:49 - Everyone is min-maxing (and moving for zero ping) 23:26 - SBMM, the missing casuals, and sweat-only lobbies 26:03 - Splitgate Reloaded and the death of 6v6 arcade shooters 27:40 - Warzone: the audio, the visibility, the haze 30:12 - Rolling the dice on what bullshit you get this year 31:28 - Bring back Caldera — at least it was different 37:28 - The first thing that felt wrong: audio 37:54 - Weekend 2's nerf pass: Tac Sprint, slides, TTK 40:44 - 60% negative Steam reviews and the player drop 41:52 - The Zodiac verdict vs. Area 99 and Haven's Hollow 42:50 - Why was Warzone in the beta at all? 47:16 - No custom loadouts, and the guns aren't fun to shoot 49:07 - "Activision devs do not play their own game" 50:18 - The one dev we ever ran into in Warzone 53:34 - The Quick Fix perk they "fixed" twice 57:07 - "Where does that put us?

The Blooming Court Ch 15The group wakes up to find Turk has left, much like Greyleaf and Cerius did some time ago. They discuss their next course of action, possibly heading to Granzia for unfinished business with Galahad's father, Antonius; the pincushion-maker fiasco, and Zechs wanting to check on Argo and the guild. The group discusses making any necessary purchases before leaving, even mentioning cold-weather gear as they plan to go to the mountains of Granzia and potentially to Coldbring. Shanks hands Galahad a concoction of sorts that shaves some years off of him, something the elven alchemist has been working on for him. There's some initial shopping for cold-weather gear and supplies, and discussion about possibly acquiring an Amulet of the Planes. Later, in the midst of the montage, Zechs settles on the callsign Overwatch, which Duo agrees to. They also come across a very familiar sign and come across a familiar tiefling to Hoshino & Shanks. Once inside the tavern, they're greeted by a cheery dwarven gentleman who takes some orders and informs them that the "boss" will be with them shortly. The group meets Mr. Bell, the 8th face of The Journeyman, who apologizes for taking Hoshino away for so long. He explains what he was doing with Hoshino, gathering information so that the group doesn't have a million questions. He gives the group 2 options: the first would be to stay the course and continue as they are to stop The Constable and his plans, which would alter their timeline's history from a few hundred years ago to the present. Second, going back several thousand years to prevent the planes from even being judged unfit in the first place, which would change several thousand years of their history. In both cases, only the party would retain their memories of the events from their original timeline. The party weighs the decision, and it falls to Zechs, since he has the most to lose in this instance. They even offer potential life rafts for his family if that is a possible option. With a heavy heart and full understanding of the weight of this decision, they take the second option. Mr. Bell respects and understands this decision was not easy to make; he allows a few liferafts and hands them a dossier for their next mission.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce Graphics Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

Episode 600. On August 21st the Modern Warfare 4 early access beta, the WARDOGS closed beta, and Call of Duty NEXT all land on the same day — and the two games are asking for wildly different amounts of money. We go through everything Activision is cramming into the MW4 beta: a playable campaign mission called Entrenched, six multiplayer maps, the return of Ground War, and a brand new Warzone Resurgence map called Zodiac. Then we put odds on whether any of it actually works over a single weekend. Spoiler: 20%. Omnimovement is gone. We get into what replaced it, whether removing it was a gameplay decision or a marketing one, and why "you can climb pipes now" is the funniest thing Infinity Ward has ever put in a press release. On the WARDOGS side: $39.99 Early Access on September 10, over a million Steam wishlists, and a promise of no in-game monetization that came out of one very bad Reddit post. We argue that the promise is a mistake — and that the most consumer-friendly thing a game can do is just be good. Plus DMZ2, aim assist, and why Infinity Ward is about to be spread way too thin. 0:00 - Intro — 600 episodes 2:09 - Patreon free trials all August 4:02 - Patron hangout: August 28th 5:30 - Two betas, one Friday 6:49 - MW4 beta dates and the pre-order wall 7:44 - A campaign mission in a beta — a CoD first 10:23 - The battle dad theory 13:24 - Discord Nitro gets you in free 15:28 - All six multiplayer maps 16:06 - Ground War is back 20:24 - Zodiac: a new Resurgence map in the beta 23:56 - Modes, and the ones held back 25:33 - 19 weapons and a fake pre-order camo 26:59 - "It's gonna be a buggy fucking disaster" 28:51 - Putting the odds at 20% 31:13 - Why I win either way 33:23 - No more omnimovement 33:48 - Climbing pipes is just a ladder 35:58 - Was omnimovement actually better? 40:22 - Mantling as the Warzone middle ground 43:06 - What actually makes you a casual? 51:12 - WARDOGS 51:50 - Closed beta August 21–23 53:30 - Three maps at launch?

They discussed the Hellraiser-themed Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, including the Pinhead actor, the Hellraiser food truck, and merchandise. They covered the upcoming Hellraiser Resurrections comic one-shots from Boom Studios and a new Fright Rags Hellraiser 2 t-shirt. They mentioned gameplay footage for the Hellraiser Revival video game and expressed some concerns about its mechanics. They reviewed Arrow's upcoming 4K/Blu-ray release of Underworld/Transmutations, comparing its features to the existing Kino Lorber edition. They noted that Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates were announced as recipients of the 2026 World Fantasy Life Achievement Award. They also discussed an unused script for Hellraiser 5 (The Hellseeker) by Michael Lent, found through archive research, and compared it to the eventual Hellseeker film. They briefly touched on listener polls for Clive's Contemporaries, Patreon supporters, and other projects like Turbine's Hellraiser releases.   Hellraiser Food Truck Planning Ryan and Jose discussed the Hellraiser-themed food truck and haunted attraction at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando Universal Studios. They examined photos and videos of the Hellraiser setup, including the box design and costume details, and discussed which elements from Hellraiser films 1, 2, and 3 might be featured in the attraction. The conversation was interrupted by technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, so they agreed to resume the discussion later. Universal Studios Horror Nights Planning Jose and Ryan discussed Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, focusing on the new Pinhead attraction. Jose shared that scare actors typically earn between $15 and $28 per hour and mentioned key creative team members involved in the haunted house, including John Murdy and Lojo Russo. They noted that the attraction would feature elements from Hellraiser 1, 2, and 3, opening on August 28 in Orlando and September 3 in Hollywood, and requested feedback from anyone attending the event. Hellraiser Content Planning Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed various Hellraiser-related content, including different covers for Deep Gospel and upcoming one-shot comics featuring characters like the female Cenobite and Butterball. They reviewed a new Fright Rags t-shirt design for Hellraiser and Hellbound Hellraiser 2, and briefly discussed gameplay footage for the Hellraiser Revival game, which Ryan preferred not to watch to avoid spoilers. They also touched on Arrow's upcoming release of Underworld/Transmutations on September 6, 2026, and concluded that Ryan was satisfied with his current Ultra HD copy of the film. 4K Blu-ray Release Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed a new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Limited Edition release of a film featuring Clive Barker's work. The release includes two discs, with the first being 4K Ultra HD and the second being a 1080p version of "Transmutations" instead of "Underworld." Ryan noted that while the 4K disc is region-free, the second disc is region B, which may limit access for some viewers. The release is available for pre-order in the UK for £25 with a retail price of £29.99 and a release date of September 6, 2026. 2026 World Fantasy Awards Announcement Ryan announced that Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates will receive the 2026 World Fantasy Awards for Lifetime Achievement, to be presented at a ceremony in Oakland, California from October 22-25. The discussion included recognition of Joyce Carol Oates' notable works and debate about the timing of the award, with Jose noting the benefit of receiving recognition while still alive. Jose also mentioned that Boom Studios plans to release five Hellraiser one-shot comics as a prelude to a new ongoing series by the end of 2027. Hellraiser Content Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed the growing popularity of Hellraiser content among people with limited knowledge of the franchise, comparing it to Scream and expressing frustration with misinformed comparisons. They mentioned upcoming Hellraiser merchandise at Universal Studios, including acrylic standees, mugs, and glasses. Jose recommended exploring the original novella "The Hellbound Heart" and suggested stopping at Hellraiser 4 for movie viewing, while also recommending the 2022 remake. Hellraiser Script Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed a Hellraiser script that was intended to be Hellraiser 5 but was ultimately not picked up. The script, written by Michael Lent, follows a character with amnesia who discovers he was a criminal while being pursued by Cenobites. While the script contains some interesting elements like the character healing from severe burns and the Cenobites being 7 feet tall, Jose and Ryan both found the concept of a computer game called "**** World" to be problematic and unrealistic.   The Clive Barker Podcast team, including Ryan, Jose, Don, and guest Marcus, held a discussion focused on various artistic depictions of Pinhead, the iconic character from the Hellraiser series. They examined and compared multiple portraits of Pinhead created by Clive Barker, ranging from early pitch package sketches to later oil paintings and sketches. The conversation covered the evolution of Pinhead's design, different artistic techniques used by Barker, and the significance of the character in Barker's oeuvre. The group also shared personal anecdotes about visiting Barker's studio and handling original manuscripts and artwork. They touched on related topics such as the Hellraiser franchise's enduring popularity, recent merchandise, and potential future projects. The session was informal and celebratory, with participants expressing their appreciation for Barker's art and each other's insights.   Clive Barker Art Comparison Discussion The group discussed comparing different versions of Pinhead art by Clive Barker as part of a podcast segment from their recent Kickstarter campaign. Don Bertram and Marcus Williams joined Ryan and Jose to examine various artwork, with Don sharing his personal experience promoting Barker's art at movie theaters using a one-sheet from the Illusion Suite. The conversation included discussion about an eBay listing for the Clive Barker Illusion Suite portfolio, which Don noted was not selling well due to its limited market awareness and the fact that it's only signed on the header page. Pinhead Character Design Evolution The group discussed early artwork and designs for Pinhead from Hellraiser, including a sumi ink drawing from 1986 that was part of a pitch package for New World executives. They examined how the character design evolved from the original novella, noting differences in details like jeweled pins versus nails and the androgynous voice description. The discussion highlighted how Clive Barker's initial concepts were adapted for the film, with Ryan and Don providing insights about the differences between the written description and the final cinematic portrayal. Pinhead Artwork Discussion Review The group discussed various drawings and artwork related to Pinhead and Clive Barker's work. They examined a pencil drawing from 2005 for Nika toys that was later used for a Cenobite diorama and silicone mask. The discussion included details about a hook feature in the artwork that connects to Pinhead's scalp, which Markus confirmed was present in both the drawing and the movie. The participants also reviewed a colorful oil painting done live at Tower Records in 2005, with Don expressing particular appreciation for the red color elements and the desolate landscape background. The conversation concluded with reflections on Clive Barker's reluctance to do live painting demonstrations, as he mentioned to Don that he tends to "show off" rather than focus on the work. Clive Barker Pinhead Art Discussion The group discussed various Clive Barker artwork, focusing on sketches and drawings of Pinhead. Marcus shared several pieces he had found, including black and white sketches with shamanistic elements and silver Sharpie details representing mercury flowing through the character's face. The discussion covered different artistic styles and techniques, with particular attention to Barker's use of negative space in the "V for Vice Versa" piece from his A through Z of Horror book. The conversation also touched on how Barker's Pinhead design has become his most iconic creation, comparing it to Frankenstein in literature. Clive Barker's Pinhead Painting Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's art, particularly focusing on a large impasto oil painting of Pinhead that Don had seen at a gallery. They examined details of the painting including its thick texture, color choices, and the presence of faces and skulls in the design. The conversation also touched on Chris Valesco, who purchased the painting in 2013 and has worked on soundtracks for games like Overwatch and Mass Effect, though not the new Hellraiser game. The discussion concluded with plans to potentially interview Chris Valesco in the future and to include links to his art collection videos in the show notes.

Our favorite things about World of Warcraft patch 12.1 are mostly related to Player Housing, if we're being for real. There are other things to look forward to — raids, delves, quests, and maybe lore if you're into that kind of thing — but yeah, we're mulling over a name change to HousingWatch. But the patch is still new, so that could change. Probably won't, but it could.We're also excited that D.Mon is coming to Overwatch. Another character that's been on everyone's wishlist for years, D.Mon also has a lot of story associated with her, including a few new lore drops. Our cohosts are optimistic about what this means for Overwatch and the lore going forward. But, hold that thought, because the next news item is about the Microsoft management. Or at least, don't take a big swig of water here.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Mike Sarraille served 20 years in special operations as a Recon Marine, scout sniper, Navy SEAL, and troop commander in Delta Force. He graduated number one out of three hundred in Marine boot camp, fought in some of the worst firefights of the Iraq War, and broke four world records skydiving across seven continents in under seven days. Then he started a company.   Joe De Sena sits down with Mike to hear why he says building a business with no budget and no guaranteed resources is harder than anything he faced in combat, how he scaled a data center staffing company from fifty employees to five hundred in eighteen months, and what the tier-one military teaches about team performance that most corporate leaders get wrong. Things You Will Learn: Why a Delta Force troop commander says entrepreneurship tested him more than combat, and what specific skills transferred and which did not. The difference between warfighters and warriors, and why combining both creates the leaders people actually follow. Why productive conflict inside a high-performing team is the system itself, not a sign that something is broken. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Shared Hardship Bonding: Psychology shows that teams bonded through shared adversity build trust that cannot be replicated through offsites or team dinners. Find controlled hardship your team can experience together. Iron Sharpens Iron Selection: Always find a group where you are the underperformer. Clear the bar they hold as the standard. Then find the next group above that. Conflict as Operating System: High-performing teams fight over ideas constantly. The mission prevails, not individual egos. If everyone agrees all the time, the team is underperforming.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.

He graduated number one out of three hundred in Marine boot camp, deployed multiple times to Iraq, and led the Triple Seven Expedition, skydiving across all seven continents in six days, six hours, and six minutes to break four world records. After leaving the military, he built and sold an executive search firm, wrote three books, The Talent War, The Everyday Warrior, and Teams, and now serves as Chief Talent Officer at Overwatch, a data center staffing company he scaled from fifty to five hundred employees in under eighteen months.

Matt McCrann is U.S. CEO of SPARC AI.  SPARC AI develops software that enables precision navigation and target acquisition for drones and autonomous systems operating in GPS-denied environments. Its flagship platform, Overwatch, is a software-only, hardware-agnostic solution that transforms the sensors already onboard a drone into a resilient positioning system—without requiring additional hardware. The platform also supports detection, tracking, and multi-drone coordination, providing operators with greater situational awareness in contested environments. Matt leads SPARC AI's expansion across the United States, overseeing commercial strategy, customer engagement, and adoption of the company's positioning technology. Before joining SPARC AI, he built DroneShield's U.S. business from the ground up as CEO of its American subsidiary. Earlier in his career, Matt served in the United States Navy as an Intelligence Operator and Analyst and as a member of the NSA's Cryptologic Direct Support Element, supporting national security and operational missions. Whether it's electronic warfare, jamming, spoofing, or simply operating where satellite signals can't reach, today's drones face a growing challenge: how do they continue to navigate accurately and complete the mission? In this edition of the Drone Radio Show, Matt talks about the growing challenge of GPS-denied operations, how SPARC AI's Overwatch platform helps autonomous systems navigate without relying solely on GPS, what the company is learning from deployments in Ukraine, and why resilient positioning is becoming an essential capability for the next generation of drones.

WARDOGS ran its first ever gameplay livestream this week and it went about as well as you'd expect from a studio full of guys in their late twenties: the alpha codes were a QR-code disaster, the stream started two hours late, and it ended with a Twitch ban for throwing a sex toy across the room. And yet — the actual gameplay looked incredible. We break down everything we saw: the enormous map, the three-team control zone loop, the destructible environments, the buy menu, and why Bulkhead's 60 FPS performance floor and "gamers first, devs second" attitude has us more hyped for this game than anything else on the calendar. Plus: is a monthly subscription for better servers and anti-cheat a genuinely good idea or the start of a slippery slope? Then it's Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, which just opened its first free crossplay playtest on the new Đắk Tô Airfield map — the performance is fixed, the hit reg is fixed, and the map is a massive upgrade over that awful jungle one. And Battlefield 6 Season 4 finally brought naval warfare, Tsuru Reef, and a Top Gun crossover that people are somehow mad about. We close with what we've actually been playing — Overwatch ranked, Stellaris Nomads, a lot of Tarkov, and one MMO Raz will absolutely keep playing despite telling you not to touch it. Jake's out here getting one-tapped in Tarkov. Raz is defending a game he just called a pile of dog shit.
