French electronic duo Justice plays a late night set at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival this year. Acclaim for their most recent LP Hyperdrama, including hit collaborations with Tame Impala, has grown their audience. So has their legendary live stage production.

The 94 WIP Morning Show discussed whether the 2024 Eagles, after their Super Bowl win and huge season turnaround, got enough national praise. Are they one of the best teams of all time, like the ‘85 Bears? Joe DeCamara thinks they got snubbed and lists his reasons why. Reuben Frank joins the show to answer the national acclaim question and report about what he's seen from the Eagles in the off-season. Ben Davis, in-studio, helps the Morning Show recap the Phillies' series win against the Cubs and break down what the Phillies need to do to progress this season. Do they need to add a right handed bat? The show also considered if the Phillies should trade for a new fielder and move Schwarber to left field. In the run up to Joe DeCamara vs. Jack Fritz: who is Joe's athlete comparison? Can Joe compete like them? Hear some Life Advice, Time's Yours calls and a whole lot more!

Joe DeCamara from the 94 WIP Morning Show lists out the reasons he thinks the Eagles haven't gotten the national media acclaim that he believes they deserve after winning the Super Bowl this past season. Do you think the 2024 Eagles are one of the best teams in history? Should they have gotten more national acclaim?

 Our teacher today is Will Thorndike, co-founder of Compounding Labs and author of the acclaimed book, “The Outsiders.” In our opinion, Will has emerged as one of the most influential and innovative investor minds of the past few decades. And if you care about long-term value creation and the art of capital allocation, chances are you've also benefited from some of his ideas.  In 1994, he founded Housatonic Partners, a pioneering private equity firm known for its unusually long holding periods and its leadership in the search fund space alongside his mentor and Stanford professor Irv Grousbeck. Will helped to originate the modern search fund model, backing early career CEOs to buy and grow businesses with long-term horizons and radically aligned incentives. Since then, he has invested in the majority of the top 20 search fund outcomes to date, including Asurion, which he recently profiled on his podcast 50X.  We explore Will's full arc from the research that led to “The Outsiders” to his decades as an investor to the new frontier he's now helping to shape. We talk about what makes a business truly enduring, why great leadership and resource allocation remain so misunderstood, and how the right people, structure, and alignment enable companies to compound over time. Please enjoy this class with Will Thorndike.

Hosts Frank Cifaldi and Phil Salvador chat with Mark and Michelle Flitman, a father-daughter duo, about Mark's career, his donated collection at the VGHF, and his autobiography: "It's Not All Fun and Games." 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. Most of his titles were licensed properties including The Simpsons (Bart's Nightmare, Virtual Bart), WWF (Royal Rumble and RAW), and several Marvel properties (Maximum Carnage). Michelle shares her efforts to preserve her father's collection, which includes concept art, design documents, and prototypes. You'll hear highlighted notable items like the Eclipse demo by Argonaut and the Monster Dunk project.

Stuart recounts his early days at Bullfrog and his time at renowned companies like Acclaim and Blitz, working on notable projects such Warhammer Combat Cards, Epic Mickey 2, and Angry Birds Transformers. He offers insights on remote work, the importance of team dynamics, and the lessons he has learned about people skills and communication. Stuart also discusses his latest venture, a book titled 'Designing Video Games,' which aims to guide newcomers through the complexities of the industry. Alongside this, he has authored two books on the history of first-person shooters, 'I'm Too Young to Die' and 'Hurt Me Plenty,' with a third in the works. He touches on the challenges and rewards of game development, reflecting on the necessity of taking risks, the difficulties of maintaining work-life balance, and the evolving landscape influenced by technological advancements like AI. The conversation wraps up with Stuart sharing anecdotes from his career, advice for aspiring developers, and his excitement for current gaming projects, highlighting his ongoing passion for the industry. Bio: Stuart Maine has been a game designer and writer for 28 years across console, PC, and mobile. He's worked on licensed titles at studios large and small, and co-founded and later sold the indie studio Well Played Games. Stuart also writes books, including two on the history of first-person shooters (I'm Too Young To Die, 2022, and Hurt Me Plenty, 2025, with Bitmap Books) and Designing Video Games (2025, with White Owl), a guide for breaking into the industry. He also tutors on John Yorke's Story for Video Games course.

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!

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. And despite the fact that he is a bit confused, he's getting a lot of acclaim for his performance from those who have seen it.  To help your communication via text message, especially when you want to show acclaim, use an emoji.  A sorta-familiar face got a lot of acclaim on American Idol when they learned who his dad is.  A highly touted...

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.

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!
