As a semi-retired video game and toy producer, Mark shares his career highlights as a publisher producer throughout the 90's and into the early 2000's at Konami, Acclaim, Mindscape, Midway, and later, Atari.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Phil Thomas. As a new wrongful death lawsuit levied against a video game company looms, we take a closer look at Sanders v. Acclaim, the 2001 lawsuit filed against the video game industry alleging games like DOOM, Redneck Rampage, and Final Fantasy (?!?) trained the Columbine High School shooters to kill. To that end, we examine John DeCamp, an eccentric Nebraska politician, lawyer, and conspiracy monger who filed the suit on behalf of one of the Columbine victims. Along the way, we untangle the life of a man who went from soldier to senator to the whistleblower in an alleged Satanic child sex trafficking ring that provided a preview of the likes of Pizzagate and Qanon.  Content warning: accusations of child sexual assault.Topics discussed include: Kevin's increasingly eclectic book collection, a wild LaRouche appears, Kevin sets the record straight on whether he's a cannibal, and what's Jack Thompson been up to? For more on the upcoming lawsuit against, gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, Meta, and Activision, see: Brandon Drennon, “Uvalde families sue Meta, video game creator and gunmaker,” BBC, May 24, 2024, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8449dxw23do. More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

 Ol' Six-Button has an itch, and the only cure for that itch is MORE YAKUZA. And while our favorite GameAgent is still getting in some sporadic time with Yakuza: Kiwami on Switch, he's quite pumped about M2 returning to crank out another modernized classic, this time in the vein of Taito's Night Strikers series. And what does it mean, if anything, to well...anyone if the 1990s whipping boys of licensed game publishing, that being Acclaim ...returns?

Discord is in talks to go public, which means that we're nearing the time when the platform might become less usable as profits will become more necessary. Forza Horizon 5 on the PlayStation 5 will require an Xbox account linked to your PSN account to play. Classic game publisher Acclaim is returning! While everyone is talking about which games they could resurrect, the reality is only the trademark was purchased, and the new company doesn't own any of the former Acclaim catalog. There's a lot of live investigation about who owns what rights to what games, with a lot of attention to Wizards & Warriors. We still aren't positive who owns it. Then we took a call about Jeff Jarrett's involvement with Acclaim and why that is a red flag. Then we talk to Rob about Acclaim and my old Flappy Bird clone that maybe Acclaim can publish.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris bring you this month's Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris's pick for the letter U and he went with UN Squadron for Super NES. This classic Capcom shoot em up was quite different from its arcade counterpart, and is often cited as one of the best Super NES games around. Does it live up to its reputation? Let's find out! Then, in Week Old News, Activision delivers some grimy AI slop, but also gives the world more old Tony Hawk games. Plus, Acclaim is apparently back, Nintendo Switch Online gets one of the best games ever made, Suikoden comes to mobile phones, and more! Finally, Dan still can't really play as many games as he wants, and Kris has had a headache for the last 3 weeks. But Paper Mario is great, as is the new Daredevil show! Enjoy!

Fable has been delayed which sparked the age old conversation about when to announce games in relation to their actual viability.

2 weeks from today, we'll be in the midst of our first day of Friendraiser 2025. To celebrate, we shared a new video starring Jayar.

By the time the Popular Front came to power it seemed like nothing would be the same in France. Politics were polarizing, the Communists became a viable electoral force, and the old order appeared dead and buried. Strikes were sweeping the nation and the business class appeared to be in retreat. It wouldn't last, but it felt great at the time.    Bibliography for this episode:  Jackson, Julian The Politics of Depression in France, 1932-1936 Cambridge University Press 1985 Jackson, Julian The Popular Front in France: Defending Democracy, 1934-38 Cambridge University Press 1988 Bernard, Philippe and Henri Dubief The Decline of the Third Republic, 1914-1938 Cambridge University Press 1988 Adamthwaite, Anthony Grandeur and Misery: France 1914-1940 Arnold, 1995 Wright, Gordon France in Modern Times, 4th Ed WW Norton Company, Inc, 1987 Fortescue, William The Third Republic in France 1870-1940 Routledge, 2007 Weber, Eugene The Hollow Years: France in the 1930s WW Norton & Company Inc 1994   Questions?

We're on the verge of the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, and yet new questions percolate about whether we'll ever see another game in Naughty Dog's vaunted series. In a recent interview, Neil Druckmann told fans "don't bet on there being more," which is both alluringly ominous and obviously vague. That's good news for us, though, since it gives us plenty to discuss. Do we need more? Do we want more? Should we get more? Plus: Rumors are ramping up about one-time Xbox titan Gears of War migrating to PlayStation 5 later this year, while details related to Firesprite's cancelled Twisted Metal project have leaked. Also: PlayStation 2 turns 25 years old in Japan, Until Dawn Remake studio Ballistic Moon goes belly-up, a key Bungie designer joins Guerrilla, Monster Hunter Wilds smashes Capcom sales records, and more. Finally: Listener inquiries! Is it possible that Grand Theft Auto VI fails to meet either critical or commercial expectations, or perhaps both? What are our reflections on PS5 Pro now that we've had our own for some months? Should Canadians stop buying games from American publishers and developers in retaliation of US tariffs? Will Colin ever forgive his brother for continuously referring to himself as "The Dagster"?

Welcome to The Testing Room where three of the gaming industry's best consultants (to never consult on a game) get together to talk about the games this week and then cover mostly gaming related topics. This week we have a special guest Travis from Nerd with Mics to talk about the games we've played, listener comments, Acclaim starting back up and our lite impressions of Monster Hunter Wilds. Don't forget to send comments and questions to testingroompod@gmail.com or on our social platforms.

All the love that Split Fiction is making more sense to us now that we are playing it. To quote Kyle: boy howdy, is this a good game! We gush about that one for a while before diving into the world of Suikoden with the release of the remasters of the first and second games. The remaster treatment could have been better, but overall, the games are still SO DANG GOOD. We also talk more Monster Hunter Wilds, Last of Us & crazy fans, and the return of Acclaim!VIDEO Podcast: YouTube or SpotifyAUDIO Podcast: Apple or search for us wherever you like to listen!

After years of rumors, the Gears Of War Collection has become a bit of a running gag in the Xbox community. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, we never fully believed in it anyway. This week, we have Jez Corden to thank because it made for one of our fastest evolving stories mid-show! Starting off as a discussion of whether or not the Gears Of War Collection would ever happen, we quickly learned it is happening and... it won't have multiplayer. Is this a major dealbreaker for Xbox fans? Naturally, the Dukes debate, but the real question after assessing the early Forza Horizon 5 sales data is if it will matter to those playing on other platforms. Forza Horizon 5 is already beating out hot products with full marketing campaigns that are set to hit the market. Most stunning of all is that despite amassing 40+ million players and being available on multiple platforms for years, Forza Horizon 5's early access edition is the lead seller. It says a lot about how Xbox as a platform is viewed versus their content. So, let's dive in!
