Rowan, Len, and Nerium hitch their wagon to Darkest Dungeon 2 and set in for the long haul on this epic-length episode. We discuss some of the ways this sequel is an improvement over one of 3MA's consensus favorite games of all time (that we somehow never did a dedicated episode on), and several ways in which it's not. What kind of parties did we like to roll with? How have things changed since early access? And is there a cooler narrator than Wayne June? By the end, you might even get to hear us have a Meltdown!
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.27.509805v1?rss=1 Authors: Gotsis, S., van Boxtel, J. J. A., Teufel, C., Edwards, M., Christensen, B. K. Abstract: Neural noise is an inherent property of all nervous systems. However, the mechanisms by which such random and fluctuating neural activity influences perception are still unclear. To elucidate the relationship between neural noise and perceptual performance we require techniques that can safely manipulate neural noise in humans. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), a form of electrical brain stimulation, has been proposed to increase neural noise according to principles of stochastic resonance (SR); where small to moderate intensities of tRNS improve performance, while higher intensities are detrimental. To date, high intensity (i.e., greater than 2mA) tRNS effects on neural noise levels have not been directly quantified, nor have the detrimental effects proposed by SR been demonstrated in early visual processing. For this purpose, we applied a maximum current intensity of 3mA high-frequency tRNS to the visual cortex (V1) during an orientation discrimination task across increasing external visual noise levels, and fit the perceptual template model to contrast thresholds to quantify intrinsic mechanisms related to noise underlying changes in perceptual performance. We found that tRNS generally worsened perceptual performance by increasing observers internal noise and reducing the ability to filter external noise compared to sham. While most observers experienced detrimental effects, others demonstrated improved perceptual performance (i.e., reduced internal noise and better noise filtering). Preliminary evidence suggests that individual baseline internal noise levels may drive the observed beneficial or detrimental observer responses to tRNS. These findings have important implications for the application of tRNS to investigate the impact of internal noise and noise filtering processes on perception. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Ballaké Sissoko présente son nouvel album Djourou qui sort sur le label No Format ! (Rediffusion) Le site de Ballaké Sissoko La traduction de l'entretien en français-bambara est assurée par Kpénahi Traoré. Sur cet album, le maître de la kora invite Oxmo Puccino, Camille, Vincent Segal, Patrick Messina, Sona Jobarteh et Feu ! Chatterton. Biographie officielle de Ballaké Sissoko "Djourou, c'est la corde, celle qui me relie aux autres", dit simplement Ballaké Sissoko. On ne saurait exprimer de manière plus limpide le titre et l'esprit de ce nouveau disque, où la musique du Malien se déploie dans toutes ses dimensions : intime et universelle, singulière et plurielle, en solitaire ou en conversation avec des artistes qui en sont tombés amoureux. "Ballaké Sissoko, c'est une part de l'histoire de la musique malienne, c'est un silence puissant, c'est une musique sacrée", témoigne le rappeur Oxmo Puccino, convié sur l'album de celui qu'il considère comme un oncle, Ballaké Sissoko. Fils aîné devenu soudain soutien de famille, Ballaké prend la place de son père, Djelimady Sissoko, au sein de l'Ensemble instrumental du Mali. Comme il faut savoir écouter avant de parler, Ballaké écoute avant de jouer. Le jeune homme cherche bientôt à confronter son art à d'autres univers musicaux, et se lance dans une carrière solo. Fasciné par le sitar indien ou la guitare flamenco dont il essaie de transposer les techniques, il veut faire explorer à sa kora de nouvelles contrées. Puis il découvre le qanun, l'oud, mais aussi le violoncelle qui peut jouer à la fois comme le bolon (harpe-luth basse) et le sokou (violon unicorde) du Mali. C'est cette fascination qui l'amènera bien plus tard à approcher Vincent Segal pour entamer avec lui une conversation musicale d'où naîtront 2 albums : Chamber Music et Musiques de Nuit (No Format !) Car si Ballaké aime les profondes méditations en tête-à-tête avec sa kora (comme sur l'album Déli, paru en 1997), il est toujours avide de rencontres, le korafola Toumani Diabaté, le pianiste Ludovico Einaudi ou le trio 3Ma avec la valiha de Rajery et l'oud de Driss el Maloumi. Pour Djourou, les invités sont tous reliés à la kora de Ballaké par un fil invisible, une corde, djourou. C'est un retour à l'enfance pour Oxmo Puccino, une fascination pour Camille qui tisse avec ses mots une rêverie poétique. Vincent Segal et Nicolas Messina embarquent Berlioz sur les rives du fleuve Niger. Quant à la voix de Piers Faccini, elle donne à Kadidja, ballade chantée en bambara, des couleurs inédites et émouvantes. Quand Ballaké Sissoko invite Sona Jobarteh, talentueuse koraïste de Gambie, il renoue avec les aïeux communs, et continue de tisser le lien qui unit les générations. Ballaké s'est même lancé dans une folle aventure avec Arthur Teboul, chanteur de Feu !

Mathieu Girod vous partage sa rencontre avec le célèbre virtuose de la kora, Ballaké Sissoko. A l'occasion de la sortie de son nouvel album Djourou, le grand griot malien raconte quatre décennies de carrière musicale, de collaborations et de musique mandingue dont il incarne la 51ème génération de sa lignée !Fils de Djelimady Sissoko, directeur adjoint de l'Ensemble Instrumental du Mali, Ballaké va écouter jouer son père durant de nombreuses heures. Un jour, ce dernier lui confie les clefs de sa chambre où reposait sa kora, afin qu'il reprenne le flambeau. Il intègre l'ensemble instrumental national et prend la place de son père après son décès. Il se forme en parallèle auprès de son oncle Sidiki Diabaté, père de Toumani. Héritier d'une tradition séculaire, Ballake Sissoko va entremêler les cordes de sa kora avec d'autres genres musicaux. Il en suivra des collaborations avec de nombreux artistes tels que le pianiste italien Ludovico Einaudi ou le contrebassiste Vincent Ségal, en passant par son projet 3MA au côté du joueur de valiha malgache Rajery et du joueur du oudiste marocain Driss El Maloumi.Son nouvel album sorti sur le label No Format synthétise les nombreuses expériences de Ballaké Sissoko. Djourou signifie la corde, celle qui le relie aux autres, celle également qui lui a permis de perpétuer la tradition tout en l'amenant dans de nouvelles directions. Il en découle un de ses albums les plus aboutis où le kora fola invite au gré des morceaux de ce disque ses différents compagnons de route.

From the dizzying highs of the Frozen Throne to the baffling lows of Master of Orion III, 2003 was a darn good year for games. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time became a hallmark for many gamers, and Rise of Nations came onto the scene to become the "other" kind of RTS. Korsun Pocket (recipient of its own 3MA episode) showed us what amazing AI could look like, and Knights of the Old Republic grew T.J. into the person he is today. Rob, Rowan, and T.J. hop into the Wayback Machine to go to 2003, when invading Iraq seemed like a cool idea. In and out war, Morty, 20 minutes tops.
Sega's not-really-World-War-II set in kinda-Europe returns in Valkyria Chronicles 4. Valkyria Chronicles marries tactical military gameplay with anime style and story. This extra long episode of 3MA, which features Rob, Heather Alexandra, and Austin Walker, covers a wide range of topics: Austin's definitive thesis on anime, Rob's complex feelings about Cowboy Bebop, problematic butt pats, the first episode of The Shield, and occasionally Valkyria Chronicles 4.
En los años 70’ se formaron varias bandas, como Bad Company,Emerson, Lake & Palmer o Weather Report por ejemplo, que reunían a varios músicos con proyectos anteriores de gran éxito, que abordaban retos artísticos comunes y , si cabe, de mayor envergadura. Este es el caso de los dos Cd’s que protagonizan nuestro Pobrecito Satanás 033. Los primeros son Tribalistas. Tribalistas es un trío musical brasileño compuesto por Marisa Monte, Arnaldo Antunes y Carlinhos Brown. En este regreso, que titulan tan escuetamente como su primer disco ‘Tribalistas’ y en el que han grabado con el mismo equipo de músicos y técnicos que en su debut, Marisa Monte, Arnaldo Antunes, Carlinhos Brown, presentan diez canciones inéditas compuestas por el trío en las que inciden, de manera especial, en asuntos políticos. 3MA, nuestros segundos invitados, son el encuentro de tres virtuosos de instrumentos de cuerda, emblemáticos de sus países en África, pero también de artistas generosos que comparten una pasión musical, un diálogo recíproco y una hermosa amistad. En 2006, cuando el mago kora Malian Ballaké Sissoko, el maestro marroquí del oud Driss El Maloumi y el príncipe malgache de Valiha Rajery se conocieron, pudieron haberse detenido como muchos otros después de un montón de conciertos y una grabación final. Pero el milagroso temblor que surgió de sus instrumentos cuando comenzaron a tocar juntos todavía resuena hoy. Impulsados por el placer de una relación musical excepcional, pero también humana, se han reunido regularmente, y siempre con alegría, en sus reuniones siempre enriqueciendo sus carreras en solitario. Hoy nos presentan el Cd que publicaron en 2017 “Anarouz”. El menú de hoy viene lleno de buenas vibraciones. Yo de vosotros no me lo perdería.
This week we return to an old friend, a stalwart companion, an evergreen delight that has been with us for years and years and years and years. Europa Universalis IV received several updates and expansions in 2017, and while the game has not changed radically it has matured like a fine wine that was traded from the Bordeaux trade node to Ragusa. In a 3MA first, T.J. Hafer is at the helm to host the show along with Rowan Kaiser and Gamers with Jobs' Sean Sands. Prepare yourself with a deep dive of finer details of EUIV as it exists in 2018.
We put the call out to our Patreon backers: What game would you like us to circle back on? The winner of a heated battle was Amplitude's Endless Space 2. Released in May of 2017, Endless Space 2 took some of the learnings of a 3MA favorite, Endless Legend, and applied them to their original dust-using space 4X Endless Space. How has the game fared since launch? What is the Academy? Do we really need it? What does Amazon buying Whole Foods mean for hero availability? And, seriously - where are these pirates getting all this tech?
Una edición de Mundofonías llena de estrenos y adelantos: las voces búlgaras Angelite, Michel Camilo, Efrén López con Stelios Petrakis y Bijan Chemirani, 3MA, Boubacar Traoré, Maya Youssef..., con un gran despliegue de magos de las cuerdas del mundo: liras, ngonis, koras, laúdes, valihas, kanunes, pianos, violines... Hablamos también del salón de las músicas de África y Oriente Medio, Visa for Music, que se celebrará en Rabat, así como de las giras de Diego Guerrero y Angelite. A Mundofonías edition with a lot of premières and previews: Bulgarian voices Angelite, Michel Camilo, Efrén López with Stelios Petrakis and Bijan Chemirani, 3MA, Boubacar Traoré , Maya Youssef..., with plenty of strings of the world played by real magicians: lyres, ngonis, koras, luths, valihas, qanuns, pianos, fiddles...

It's a very special Three Moves Ahead as we find Rob visiting Bruce in person to play a variety of wargames. The star of the weekend is Mark Herman's Churchill (previously covered in 3MA #330), a game in which players assume the role of Churchill, Stalin, or Roosevelt over the course of ten critical conferences. Also discussed: 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis.
Our Patreon patrons have spoken, and the winner of our "Let's talk about an online CCG that's NOT Hearthstone" poll was Duelyst. Rob and Julian have a very un-3MA discussion in which all parties agree that the game at hand is pretty rad. Duelyst takes the best parts of Hearthstone and adds its own mechanics and flavor to create a satisfying game that has kept Julian occupied for the better part of the year. Good job, Patreon backers. Good job.
After many requests, the Dwarf Fortress show is finally here. 3MA editor Michael Hermes and Troy "Wait, how does vomit work again" Goodfellow are joined by Gaslamp Games' Nicholas Vining and freelance writer Gita Jackson to talk about everyone's favorite simulation, Dwarf Fortress. Dwarf Fortress has helped move forward an entire genre of games, from direct copies to finely honed world-building experiences. What is the secret sauce that makes Dwarf Fortress so endearing? What's the deal with the interface? Why does everyone keep dying?
Starcraft II remains one of the most popular Esports, BUT... It's one of the most-streamed games, BUT... the new game mode will attract new players, BUT... listen in to hear what Rob and 3MA's very own Sean Sands think of the Legacy of the Void beta. (Also, learn about Rob's wicked APM.)
Rob, Bruce, and Troy "They Call Me Pony Express" Goodfellow attack the mailbox. We asked 3MA listeners for questions and got them in spades, so tune in to find out the panel's favorite games, podcasts, and desert island picks.
Rob is joined by game designers and 3MA regulars Soren Johnson and Rob Daviau to talk about the balance between building an empire and going to war. Sometimes you just want to build a sand castle. Sometimes Montezuma comes along and kicks your sand castle over. Then you have to go to war, but you've been researching some bigass lighthouse. Now what?
Our most frequent guests in 2012, designers Soren Johnson, Jon Shafer, and Dave Heron return to 3MA to talk to Rob about their favorite experiences of the year.
Rowan Kaiser rejoins Rob and Bruce to talk about War in the East, while Bruce has been busy with the Don to the Danube expansion. Rowan has thoughts about approaching the hardest of the hardcore wargames from a newcomer's perspective, while Rob is laboring under the most epic misconception in 3MA history. Bruce is a little bit disappointed in the new scenarios, and he and Rob discuss their ideal Eastern front scenarios. Then the panel talk about Matrix prices, and what they mean for the genre.
Is the fate of books a forgone conclusion? Will they just continue to make their way out of print and into digital form? This week’s guest, author Cory Doctorow, suggests that we might want to keep books in print for a little while longer. Not just out of nostalgia – but actually to protect the institution of copyright. Cory Doctorow — a longtime supporter of remixing and free culture, who releases his books under Creative Commons licenses — now throws his weight behind copyright. Huh?

Rob and Troy look at the Idle Thumbs Kickstarter and conclude that maybe these crazy kids know what they are doing. Maybe Rob and Troy are crazy kids themselves, and maybe they have a plan so crazy it just might work. They have partnered up with Idle Thumbs, finally giving Three Moves Ahead and its community the home they deserve as a part of the Idle Thumbs network. You have questions, and Rob and Troy have some answers! But never forget that Three Moves Ahead remains an independent podcast. It's like it joined an awesome podcast commune led by our talented, brilliant friends. Friends who love 3MA as much as we do, and who have some great plans to help it grow. Don't forget to retweet, and ask us questions via email and Twitter. We'll do a proper introduction to the Idle Thumbs network next week!

It's all iPad, all the time on 3MA, as Bruce declares the iPad the greatest platform for strategy games, and Julian explains why the real story of the iPad announcement is the iPad 2 price drop. Then, this being Bruce and Julian, they fall to arguing minutiae about specific games, like Titan. Rob wants to know whether the iPad will ultimately move in the same complex direction as a lot of PC strategy games did, but Bruce and Julian think the iPad interface limits complexity. Then Bruce admits he's sick of board game conversions.
Darius Kazemi and GameSpy Editor-in-Chief Dan Stapleton return to 3MA to discuss Jagged Alliance: Back in Action. Darius wants to know where the role-playing went, while Dan got heartily sick of the pause-and-go system in larger battles. Rob is going to murder whoever came up with the inventory system. All in all, they had an okay time.
PC Gamer's Evan Lahti and game designer Darius Kazemi parachute into 3MA to liberate it from Rob and Bruce. Their only weapon is a frightening knowledge of Jagged Alliance 2, but that just might be enough to get the job done. Darius explains why it is his favorite game, and makes a good case for it being the coolest game ever. Evan sees Jagged Alliance 2 as a game the defines 1990s' design, typifying the mix of ambition, quirkiness, and technical simplicity characteristic of the era's best offerings. Rob loves its portrayal of guerrilla warfare, and how Jagged Alliance was willing to punish hubris. Listen to war stories, Easter eggs, and memories of the strange cast of characters that comprise Jagged Alliance 2.
Jenn Cutter and Dan Stapleton return to 3MA to talk about Paradox Con with Rob. They discuss War of the Roses, Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, Arctic Circle, Salem, and Napoleon's Campaigns 2, as well as some prominent no-shows.
The Escapist's Greg Tito joins Rob and Troy to talk about A Game of Thrones: Genesis and to tell us about the Escapist's epic Napoleon in Europe match. In the first half of they show they talk about how AGOT's deception and diplomacy mechanics succeed in channeling aspects of Martin's novels, and in the second half they get into the ways that Napoleon in Europe models the cycles of war, peace, and negotiation that marked Napoleonic Europe. Troy then tells Greg that the Escapist should be a wargame site. Then he explains why you should give 3MA money.

Soren Johnson kicks off an extended visit to 3MA by joining Rob, Julian, and Bruce to talk about smaller-scale strategy games, and how they compare to their more traditional cousins. Julian thinks they let developers play to their strengths, while Soren worries about their potential to be ephemeral. Bruce suspects that if great games are ephemeral, that says a lot more about gamers than it does about games. Rob wants to like "big" strategy games more than he does, but likes the more contained experience that smaller games, and board games, increasingly offer. Bruce reveals that his gaming habits are stranger than anyone imagined.
Troy and Rob are over the moon about Longbow's Hegemony: Philip of Macedon, and invite programmer and writer Rick Yorgason to the show so they can ask that timeless question: "How awesome is your game?" The three go into detail on the game's simplicity, its superb camera controls and artwork, its integrated and effective tutorial, and the compromises and adjustments Longbow made to the design along the way. Then Rick says there are two copies of the game available to loyal 3MA listeners, and Troy promises to award them randomly to two people who leave comments on this episode. Deadline for comments is Wednesday, July 20th.
Paradox France's Philippe Thibaut and GWJ's Erik Hanson colonize 3MA this week to talk about Pride of Nations, Paradox France's new grand-strategy game of imperialism. Erik and Rob are intrigued by Pride's cynical view of colonial competition and its novel mechanics. Philippe explains the game's origins and how it is at once a departure for Paradox France and a natural extension of their work as AGEOD. The Victoria II comparison comes up for discussion, and Erik and Philippe discuss the game design challenges of the Civil War.
Here come the creeps, led by Rob and Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Quintin Smith! Fortunately, they encounter a maze of discussion and towers of topics. Inspired by first-person tower defender Sanctum and tower attacker Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Quinns and Rob explore how these games change the tower defense formula, and what about that formula needed changing? Are we doing a disservice to a neat mechanic by insisting that it is a genre? Why are we continually drawn in by games we often find shallow and unsatisfying? Is tower defense really about destruction, or is there an under-served creative aspect to these games? A lot of games and pieces come up for discussion here, so brace yourself for a link attack. Quinns' Sanctum Wot I Think Troy's reactions to Anomaly: Warzone Earth Rob, two years ago, on tower defense games Quinns on Ace of Spades 3MA on AI War Rob's "excessively positive" Dungeons review The Verdun game Rob couldn't remember is The Trench Kieron Gillen on Warfare: 1917
Gamers With Jobs continues colonizing 3MA, but the natives still welcome Cory Banks because he brings whiskey and podcast topics. Fantasy Flight games is upset about an iOS game that bears a significant resemblance to Richard Borg's Command & Colors system, and Bruce, Cory, and Rob wonder what it all means. Before they reveal themselves as ignoramuses yet again, William Flachsbart, intellectual property expert, arrives to tell them what it all means. How carefully must new products tread around the innovations of old ones? When does borrowing mechanics turn into theft? Is there any way we can send Troy to jail? What about the Vancouver Canucks? Here is Bill Abner's original No High Scores story, and the interview to which Wil is referring in this episode. Big thanks to Michael Hermes for helping us sort out numerous audio problems this week.
After the panel completely falls apart on the eve of recording a Dawn of War 2: Retribution episode, Troy and Rob soldier on by themselves. Troy hasn't played Retribution, but he is happy to announce his upcoming marriage to Field of Glory. Rob forgets that he's on a podcast and just starts talking with Troy, and along the way he mangles a great Provost Zakharov quote and explains why he thinks refinement is undervalued compared to innovation. At the end, Troy talks about his upcoming meet-up, and Rob asks for listener input on a 3MA website. Then Audacity eats his audio file and the episode is produced from a Skype recording. The Zakharov quote: "There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn, nonetheless, for the latter." - Academician Prokhor Zakharov, "Address to the Faculty"
Rob turtles up for a free-for-all discussion of RTS multiplayer gaming with Tom Chick and Chris Remo. What really powers the Starcraft II community, and why can't other RTS games match it? It looks unstoppable, but does a challenger arise with League of Legends? 3MA favorites Supreme Commander II and RUSE depress the panel with their multiplayer front-end, but Chris cheers himself up by building a cathedral in Dawn of Discovery.
