Podcasts about Activision

Bienvenidos a un nuevo Expediente GX con Carlos Bon, de Kanagawa Podcast. En el mundo de la creación de contenido, hay muchos tipos de personas, hay unos que se viralizan y se hacen muy famosos por llamar la atención, o por opiniones polémicas, y otros que alcanzan la fama por tener contactos y ser amiguetes de alguien. Pero hay otros que se hacen conocidos, o que consiguen seguidores, por ser ellos mismos, por su forma de ser, por transmitir amabilidad, confianza, seguridad y transparencia. Ése es el caso de nuestro invitado de hoy, un invitado que empezó un pódcast con su amigo, al que no tenía cerca, sino que vivía en otra ciudad, simplemente por el hecho de poder hablar y conversar al menos una vez a la semana, hablando, así, de lo que les apasionaba, de los videojuegos. Así conocimos al amigo que nos acompaña hoy y que viene a hablar con nosotros. Hoy hablamos con uno de los melenas del podgaming español. Hoy hablamos con Carlos Bon de Kanagawa Podcast.

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.

Welkom bij Gamekings Daily, de podcast annex video over de laatste ontwikkelingen over de wereld die videogames heet. Elke werkdag staat er een nieuwe aflevering voor je klaar. In ongeveer 20 minuten tijd bespreken twee Gamekings-presentatoren de laatste ontwikkelingen binnen de wereld die videogames heet. Vandaag zit Boris bij JJ aan de desk. En dat betekent dat we zeker naar de zakelijke kant van een nieuwsbericht gaan kijken. In dit geval is het een interview met Doug Bowser van Nintendo die tot veler verbazing een Don Mattrick-je pullt. 'Als je geen geld hebt voor een Switch 2, dan koop je toch een Switch'... Daarnaast hebben we het over een gerucht dat Activision intern eindelijk toegegeven heeft dat de vele bonte skins die in Call of Duty verkrijgbaar zijn, de game belachelijk maken. Dit en meer zie en hoor je in de GK Daily van donderdag 9 april 2025.Nintendo is duidelijk over de prijs van de Switch 2GK Daily is er maandag, dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag. Op de vrijdag hebben we EvdWL, onze uitgebreidde podcast over al het nieuws van de week. In GK Daily praten we je in 20 minuten bij over wat er zich allemaal afspeelt in de wereld van videogames. In deze aflevering behandelen we dus de uitspraken van de man met de mooiste naam bij Nintendo, Douig Bowser. De president van Nintendo Amerika gaf in een interview toe dat de Switch 2 voor sommige gamers te duur gaat zijn, maar dat ze dan een Switch konden kopen. Eenzelfde uitspraak deed Don Mattrick over de Xbox One in 2013. En dat werd hem toen flink kwalijk genomen. Hoe kijken de beide heren er tegenaan?Skins maken van Call of Duty een belachelijke kermis attractieDe twee kijken verder naar het gerucht dat Activision zich eindelijk schijnt te realiseren dat de overvloed aan kleurrijke collab skins hun Call of Duty geen goed heeft gedaan. Maar waarom doen ze het dan? En gaat het nu minder worden?

Ahora sí, Nintendo Switch 2 ya está a la vuelta de la esquina y su presentación fue un antes y un después en la historia de la industria.

The next exclusive from the "Class Of 2018" has arrived! It's South Of Midnight, hailing from Montreal's very own Compulsion Games, and it's another mixed bag. For all the visuals, stop motion, and music do to set the game apart, the Dukes struggled to fall in love with story following its abrupt conclusion. There's a lot to dig about it, but we wonder how the Xbox fandom will react to this after effectively waiting since 2018 for a story that doesn't necessarily wrap it up or make the best use of its gameplay mechanics. Alas, it's another "good, not great" that the Dukes think you should check out at sometime, but can't really justify the 40 bones you'd spend on it outside of Game Pass. In other news, Nintendo has upended the industry with their newly announced game prices which reach as high as $90 on the physical front. How this will have a ripple effect on the industry is easy to guess, but naturally, we dig a little deeper into the conversation than that.

It's a big week for Xbox hardware fans. A report from Jez Corden has injected new, optimistic life into the conversation. In 2025, Xbox will deliver their first ever "partner device" in another team up with ASUS. It will be a handheld and likely symbolize the next step into what Xbox evisions as the future of their platform. That's no mere guesswork as we also have word that come 2027, a new generation of device will be in our hands. One, a powerful console built more like a PC, and another that serves as the "official Xbox handheld." The Dukes dissect Xbox's hardware plans and what they aim to accomplish in a space where they've lost ground. Undoubtedly, AI will be a big part of Xbox's push into next gen and the Dukes got a peak at that. This week, we learned about "Copilot For Gaming." Not much to be said here.

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!

Guests: Winston Weinberg, CEO & co-founder of Harvey; and Ilya Fushman, partner at Kleiner Perkins“If you think about pretty much any job out there in the world, we will have some sort of [AI] copilot,” says Kleiner Perkins partner Ilya Fushman. “The question is, who are the right folks to build it, and what's their vision?”For Harvey CEO & co-founder Winston Weinberg, the vision is clear: Silicon Valley cannot and should not try to disrupt the legal profession by automating the job of lawyers. Instead, he says, they need to have “respect for the industry” before designing AI solutions that speed up specific tasks.“These industries are incredibly complex,” Winston says. “Legal is one of the oldest professions known to man. There are firms that are over a hundred years old. There are firms that are hundreds of years old, and having a brand that says, ‘We are partnering with the industry to transform it' versus ‘We are just going to steamroll the industry' is really important for us.”Chapters:(01:16) - The zeitgeist switch (02:58) - What is Harvey?
