Sony lays out its future, while Pokémon's future got leaked all over the internet. New York Comic Con brought the trailers, making it a definite competitor to SDCC. Plus IGN Fan fest was in full effect today with some great new, like a Bob-It video game! Plus a full review of Tron: Ares, is it bad, is it good, or is it just there...

The year was 1979 and a scrappy little 16 year old named Richard Garriott started coding his friends' latest Dungeons & Dragons campaign into an Apple II. This is the small domino that fell over to eventually result in millions of players worldwide romancing a bear 30+ years later in Baldur's Gate 3. How did we get there? Well, there's a lot of answers to that question but a predominant step was through the landmark CRPG series, Ultima.

This Week: The price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is going up by a lot, Avalanche Studios faces major layoffs following the cancellation of Contraband, and beloved YouTuber Skyrim Grandma says goodbye to Skyrim after nearly a decade. Plus, we’re breaking down this week’s biggest game releases, including the chaotic co-op hit King of Meat, with an exclusive deep dive featuring Glowmade co-founder and Studio Head Jonny Hopper on how the team brought its hilarious world to life and what’s next for the studio.

10-7-25 Tonight we're talking meadmaking with Bill Bellair and Rob Barnhart. Both are experienced meadmakers that create excellent meads. And both have taken their share of awards at competitions. Bill Bellair began his mead-making journey in 2008 when his mother expressed interest in trying tej, a traditional Ethiopian honey wine, which was unavailable locally. His early attempts—while not without the occasional "bottle bomb"—yielded surprisingly delicious results. Following this, Bill turned his attention to beer brewing, and it would be several years before he returned to crafting mead. During this time, he joined the Metro Enologist 'n' Zymurgist (MENZ) club, where he expanded his skills in winemaking. This experience gave him valuable insight into the mistakes he had made in his early mead-making efforts, reigniting his passion for the craft. This marked the beginning of a dedicated era of mead production that continues to this day. In 2019, Bill founded the Michigan Mead Coalition, the state's largest mead-exclusive organization. The coalition has fostered a thriving community of skilled brewers, many of whom have earned prestigious awards and even pursued the coveted title of Mead Maker of the Year. Rob Barnhart has been making mead since 2018. He started making mead January of 2018 because he doesn't like beer. He was playing Skyrim a lot and looked it up on YouTube. Down the rabbit hole he went. Soon after he found Gotmead and Modern Mead Makers. He then talked Vicky into meeting him at St Ambrose and Vicky and Kirk told Rob to enter comps. He didn't do too badly. So far he has 25 medals but still haven't gotten the coveted best in show.

For the Shack's second guest, we have Border of Borderline Panels! We'll be discussing Ice Cube's War of the Worlds, Persona 5 the Phantom X, Elin/elona, Skyrim and of course... Yaoi

One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

I've started up another Skyrim playthrough, which for me is usually one of the biggest red flags that burnout is raising its ugly head, as this game, while a thing I enjoy, is something I tend to delve into when I need a thing to fill time while not having my brain go brr. (So look forward to that “Conversations with an Adult part 2: Burnout Boogaloo” episode in two months) but. That's not why I'm here. I'm here to soft pitch the thesis that “No Stone Unturned” is an ok quest actually. For those of you that don't know, there's a Skyrim quest where you stumble across an “unusual gem” (what's unusual about it is that it is hot pink in the gray/brown/green ass game) and then, upon getting it appraised, finding out that your gem is part of a set of 24 and you gotta go find ‘em. And unlike most quests, there's no quest marker telling you where they are, so this is no easy feat. Once you collect these 24 gems, you're sent to go collect the crown they're from, at which point, the quest ends and your reward is this passive ability to find more gems (and gems more often) while you're out exploring. “Burgs, this sounds horribly tedious,” you might say. “Eh,” is my impassioned response. The thing with quests like these is that (shocker) the people that built the game from the ground up want you to play it. They spent time and effort and all that jazz building all of these areas, especially in an open world game like Skyrim, and they want you to explore it. Therefore, games like these are going to have quests that incentivize you to explore: think the shards in DA: Inquisition, the metals/gasses/literature/mummies or whatever in ME1, audio diaries, bobbleheads, souls, orbs, power moons, friggin….Korok seeds, the examples are endless. The game wants you to play it, and if you don't want to, then…idk, touch grass, I guess. The quest is optional, just don't interface with the hot pink gems if you don't want to. If you want quest markers, there's a mod. Or countless lists on websites you can use to track stuff. It's ok, you'll get through it, or you won't. No biggie.  What does this have to do with the music of 2005? Almost nothing, other than music itself also working in a very similar way. If you're willing to explore, your new favorite band could be in the dark corner over there. The next song that will “change your life, I swear” says Natalie Portman in 2003 might be opening for a band you already know but you skipped the opener to arrive late like a Cool Person. If you don't want to look for hot pink gems, it's all optional, mainstream radio's got you. But you'll never know what a Korok seed does unless you find one. (also don't tell me, I haven't played that Zelda game yet.)

Endlich wieder ein Cinema Flashback! In dieser neuen Podcast-Folge reden Alper, Jonas und Marius über all das, was sie in letzter Zeit geschaut haben. Dabei geht's etwa um den gefeierten Horror-Neustart WEAPONS vom BARBARIAN-Regisseur, in dem eine Klasse Schulkinder plötzlich verschwindet. Alper und Jonas berichten, ob der Film seinem Hype wirklich gerecht wird! Deutlich weniger gefeiert wird der Desktop-Film KRIEG DER WELTEN mit Ice Cube in der Hauptrolle, worüber sich Marius auslassen darf. Neben vielen anderen Filmen wie ALIEN und AVATAR gibt es auch wieder eine Antwort auf eure Sprachis, diesmal zum Thema Videospiele. Hört rein bei CINEMA STRIKES BACK und viel Spaß!

Nintendo is back in the conversation with a banger of a game with Donkey Kong Bananza. Exclusive to the Switch 2, Donkey Kong Bananza is one of the best platformers probably ever featuring fully destructible environments and dopamine hits with every smash of a rock you do. With Pauline by your side, venture down into Earth the planet's core through a variety of sublayers that represent different types of terrains and styles. It's a dense game with a ton of fun, charming characters, incredible tech and great music.Jason also surprises us by picking up Death Stranding 2. Not only did he pick it up, he's clocked in over 45 hours so this is a more in-depth review from Jason digging into why Death Stranding 2 has quickly become one of his favorite games of the year. Brett plays Mecha Break which is a mech game with hero shooter style mechanics. It's free to play and you pilot a mech in 6v6 or 3v3 objective style missions or dive into a 3 player game in an extraction mode. The game looked ok but is suprisingly a ton of fun. The question...can it keep us engaged long term?Austin dives into Atomfall that released earlier this year. With the hopes that it would bring back the feelings of Skyrim and Fallout, it unfortunately did not meet the standards Austin hoped for. It's a beautiful game but doesn't give the carrot on the stick he's looking for to keep exploring.Lastly, we have our review of the video game adaptation Until Dawn. Now a movie, it's set in the universe but follows a new story with the same premise. Is it as good or better than the game?

TSR and Wizards of the Coast veteran Steve Winter (Steve achieved one of the longest tenures across both companies). Steve plays guitar. Steve likes Shadowdark RPG, and is also interested in Knave, Savage Worlds, and Cthulhu / horror games. Steve has a definite favorite version of D&D (he finds it elegant and intuitive). Deep character backstory doesn't equal plot armor. Sometimes we get too used to magic in games and think of it as technology… magic should be a bit fearsome and untame. Noteworthy moments of going insane in a Cthulhu game. Skyrim and Baldur's Gate 3 discussion. Steve co-wrote the scenario for the Gold Box Pool of Radiance game. Some words about Jim Ward. Early versus later days at TSR. The job that was Steve's best year at TSR. How was the work divided at TSR? Steve offers some perspective on Lorraine Williams's leadership, given that he was right there. What was it like to be at TSR and watch Magic: The Gathering explode onto the scene? Steve worked on Spellfire, TSR's response to MtG. What was it like transitioning from TSR to WotC? Star Frontiers: how it went from hard sci-fi to “D&D in space” and how employees' desire for royalties led to its creation (and ultimately to the departure of Lawrence Schick from TSR).

Most of the dorks are back! This week we're talking about world events that happen every four years...for some reason? Then Chewie talks about taking two teenagers, one of whom had not ridden a roller coaster, to Carowinds to ride roller coasters! After all of that of course we have to talk about the Final Fantasy Prerelease because ALL OF US WENT! Dirk & Mike talk about their decks, while Chewie takes over talking about how Brian & Sam did. Great fun was had by all. From there, Chewie goes into why he's less interested in Magic these days, but how thinking critically about it for all those years has stirred a deep interest in how elements of game design come together in all the games he plays. Then we devolve into the usual nonsense, like GYATT and D&D and Skyrim and how there weren't any good Jasons back in the day. Come join us in the future!

Want to survive your first Warhammer Fantasy game without getting eaten by a goblin or arrested for fashion crimes? This episode teaches you the grimdark basics—judgy elves included. Big thanks to our sponsor, Dungeon Master Adamantine—the only GM who can run a perfect session and pronounce "Naggaroth" correctly on the first try. If you want to play D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, or any other TTRPG—whether you're in Greece, online, or just chaos-curious—book your game at dungeonmasteradamantine.com or find him on StartPlaying. Show Notes: In this gloriously grimdark episode, the RPGBOT crew celebrates both personal victories and narrative tragedy—because nothing says Pride like running a half marathon and being emotionally wrecked by Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay lore. The crew dives deep into the richly depressing world of Warhammer Fantasy, from the human-centric politics of the Empire to the lizard-brained logic of the Slann. They explore the setting's clashing cultures, catastrophic corruption mechanics, and the unfortunate magical side effects of wearing the wrong outfit. Expect heated discussions on dwarf grudges, elf egos, undead management tips, and why your bright pink tunic might just get you killed during spellcasting. The conversation also gets tactical as they unpack dungeon design do's and don'ts, from the elegance of the Five Room Dungeon to the emotional trauma that is Tomb of Horrors. Spoiler alert: don't design your dungeon like a video game unless your players are part AI and emotionally numb. This episode is equal parts war-torn exposition and mechanics breakdown, with a healthy helping of sarcastic celebration. Key Takeaways: Pride is powerful. So is finishing a half marathon. So is a vampire count on a zombie dragon. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is what happens when early modern Europe and cosmic horror have a very messy divorce. The Empire: Best place to be human, worst place to not pay your taxes. Bretonnia: Where chivalry and classism come with matching banners. Kislev: Frostpunk with bears and chaos cultists. Dark Elves: If Hot Topic and human sacrifice had a baby. Warhammer Fantasy ≠ Warhammer 40K. This one has fewer space marines, more diseases. Elves are superior—just ask them. The Old World is “Europe but cursed.” The New World is “Colonialism but with dinosaurs.” Dwarves: Have grudges, will travel (underground). Lizardmen: Technically the good guys, if you like ancient prophecy and no interpersonal skills. Greenskins: Orcs, goblins, and the chaos-fueled frat party that never ends. Skaven: Backstabbing rat anarchists who somehow built a nuclear weapons program. Undead: Vampires rule the night; Tomb Kings rule the day (and resent the living). Chaos: The multiversal HR violation that unites us all. Your class and career determine your fate, like high school but with more mutations. Warhammer's magic system: Be fluent in death chants and fashion-forward or suffer the consequences. Psychology, fear, corruption, and disease aren't flavor—they're core mechanics. Color-coordination is literally rules-as-written. You can die for clashing. Spellcasting is hard. Miscasting is harder. Death by wardrobe malfunction is canon. Character progression is XP-based. Advancement is granular and glorious. Half-elves aren't a thing. Racial purity is, unfortunately, a cultural theme. Dungeon design should offer choices, not just punishment. Unless you're Tomb of Horrors. The Five Room Dungeon is a GM's best friend—tight, deadly, and endlessly adaptable. Don't copy video game dungeons. This isn't Skyrim and your players aren't NPCs. Listen now and learn why wearing a green sash while casting a red spell might kill you faster than a chaos spawn with an axe.

Shockingly not another release of Skyrim!When our duo takes a request, it typically comes along with a guest, and this episode is no exception. Enter Rick from Pixel Project Radio who has chosen the surprising remaster of the fourth entry in a series dedicated to some especially old and rolled up parchment. Co-developed by Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos (who are quite familiar with tackling ports and remasters), this remaster takes a twenty year old action RPG and gives it a major facelift through the use of Unreal Engine 5. Can you believe that Chris never played the original? Did you know that Tom played his fair share, but never started the main quest? Well, thanks to our special guest, both of these tragic failings are about to be remedied. Let's find out if anyone regrets their past decisions as they lock in their final ones!Follow Rick on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixelprojectradio.bsky.socialPixel Project Radio's links: https://linktr.ee/pixelprojectradioWhat do you think?

Any Austin has carved a unique niche for himself on YouTube: analyzing seemingly mundane or otherwise overlooked details in video games with the seriousness of an art critic examining Renaissance sculptures. With millions of viewers hanging on his every word about fluvial flows in Breath of the Wild or unemployment rates in the towns of Skyrim, Austin has become what Tyler calls "the very best in the world at the hermeneutics of infrastructure within video games." But Austin's deeper mission is teaching us to think analytically about everything we encounter, and to replace gaming culture's obsession with technical specs and comparative analysis with a deeper aesthetic appreciation that asks simply: what are we looking at, and what does it reveal? Tyler and Austin explore the value of the YouTube algorithm, what he notices now about real-world infrastructure, whether he perceives glitches IRL, why AI-generated art is getting less interesting, how the value of historical context differs between artistic forms, an aesthetic abundance agenda for nuclear power, the trajectory of video game quality since the 80s, whether the pace of seminal game releases has slowed, the relative value of commentary to the games themselves, why virtual reality adds nothing meaningful to the gaming experience, what's wrong with most video game analysis, what to eat in New Orleans, Tyler's gaming history, and more.
