Read transcriptWelcome back, web-slingers and button-mashers, to another delightfully unhinged episode of Play Comics! This week we're crawling back to 2002, when flip phones were cutting-edge technology, everyone was still trying to figure out what the heck a “blog” was, and Activision decided the best way to capitalize on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movie was to let Treyarch loose with a development kit and what we can only assume were several energy drinks and a prayer. We're diving deep into the pixelated web-slinging wonderland that somehow convinced an entire generation that swinging through New York City while your webs mysteriously attach to invisible sky anchors was totally normal. This PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance spectacular managed to squeeze Tobey Maguire's voice into a polygonal suit while adding enough extra villains to make you wonder if someone at Treyarch had been hoarding Spider-Man action figures since childhood and finally found an excuse to use them all. Joining us for this nostalgic journey through early 2000s gaming jank is the magnificent Chris Ferrell from All Things Good and Nerdy and The Official GonnaGeek Show! Chris brings his encyclopedic knowledge of all things delightfully nerdy to help us navigate the treacherous terrain between movie adaptation and comic book faithfulness. He's the perfect guide for exploring whether this game captured the essence of everyone's favorite wall-crawler or just gave us a really expensive tech demo for air-based web physics that would make actual physics professors weep quietly into their coffee. So dust off those sixth-generation consoles, prepare for some seriously chunky character models, and join us as we swing into action with a game that dared to ask the important question: “What if we took a two-hour movie and stretched it into twelve hours of gameplay by adding every Spider-villain we could think of?” The answer, as you'll discover, involves more air combat than anyone expected and enough stealth sequences to make you appreciate that this was made before every game decided it needed a mandatory stealth section. Get ready for web-slinging, wall-crawling, and more mid-air punching than should be physically possible – it's time to find out if this early millennium marvel holds up or if it belongs in the same category as those websites that still think animated GIFs are the height of digital sophistication. Learn such things as: How do you decide who to use as a boss in a movie tie in game? Will we ever have a bad Spider-Man game ever again? What if…..Chris had latched onto The Flash instead of Spidey? And so much more! You can find Chris on BlueSky @chrisferrell.bsky.social and of course his podcasts All Things Good and Nerdy and The Official GonnaGeek Show.

A conversation involving such dramatic shifts in the brand requires as much nuance as we can gather! Summoned to the realm of the Dukes are none other than Last Stand Media's own Gene Park and Rick Hoeg to help us sift through the fallout of last week's Xbox layoffs. Any single one of these stories could be our lead for the week, but let's get it started with Microsoft's $80 billion investment in their AI infrastructure. Sadly, it has been reported that this is the root cause of the layoffs. Naturally, an investment to the tune of almost $12 billion more than Activision doesn't sneak up on you. The question we're left asking in wake of these claims is how leadership was able to blindside staff within Xbox despite likely knowing about these impending changes for months. Why meet with teams like Zenimax Online Studios and Romero Games, prepare hardware investments, create long term production plans only to axe them by the following weekend? A fired up Rick Hoeg will certainly let us know how he feels on the matter (IYKYK). Speaking of Zenimax Online Studios, we now have details on the canceled Project Blackbird to parse through thanks to multiple insider reports. Blackbird was an online, open world RPG focusing on shooting and traversal mechanics with a planned release window of 2028. With the pedigree of this studio being clear and the risk being low compared to most live service initiatives out there, why shut down something with such great potential? Well, perhaps that's because in a "hits only" business, you need to go with the guarantee. There's no greater guarantee for money than the Fallout IP and, finally, it appears Xbox has come to their senses. Multiple Fallout games are in production! Reason for celebration, no? We'll get to that. Plus, our thoughts on Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox, a Halo project potentially in trouble, and returning once more to the "Great Game Pass Profitability Debate."

The independent online bookseller Bookshop.org took a swipe at Amazon to celebrate the start of Prime Day, Amazon's annual sale (which, despite its name, is actually four days this year). Like many other retailers, Bookshop.org holds a sale to coincide with Amazon's big event — it's a way to lure away consumers. Also, Activision last week brought offline the Microsoft Store version of "Call of Duty: WWII" as the company was investigating “reports of an issue”; and Waymo has begun offering teen accounts for families in Phoenix as it works to expand more of its user base and entrench young riders in the autonomous life.

Christian from Imaginary Game Studios joins Ben this week to talk about a word that is very dear to him. In addition to being a component in the name of Christian's game development company, imagination is something that both of the hosts love to use in their day-to-day lives and in all of their creative endeavors because it brings them so much joy. As one would expect from the topic of imagination, the conversation goes many fascinating places—cooking, mixology, childhood toys and games, and imaginary friends… to name a few. In the video games-focused segment, they engage in a little brainstorming session about a couple of video game ideas Ben has had over his lifetime. Finally, they "put a bow on it" with a question from Christian about Ben's most impactful gaming moment.   ***  00:00:20 - Actively supremo, Spaghetti-Os, youthful eating habits, and prison fruit rollups 00:03:20 - Rogue Climber development, an announcer voice, and other show considerations 00:05:26 - Attending virtually, advice on attending the Tokyo Game Show, and proper nouns 00:08:58 - A Scottish themed suggestion, Legos and other toys of our youth, and the FRPG 00:15:29 - Don't forget your globe, hitting Christian with the definition, and Christian hits back 00:18:03 - Visualization, cooking with Christian, pungent, creative mixology, and Sex on a Bus 00:24:15 - The imagination game, sandboxes, Kenshi, and when Activision was cutting edge 00:29:40 - Ben is left speechless, creating strategies, and getting into the weeds of “the meta” 00:35:05 - The imaginary friends of your childhood… TODAY, and the death of unique premises 00:38:45 - Skyfall …finger, Double Fine games, Ben starts pitching game ideas, and mimes 00:41:37 - Roger Rabbit, noir meets buddy cops, cost cutting measures, and Seth MacFarlane 00:47:06 - Side-scrolling beat ‘em up dates, diversity perspectives, and making infinity money 00:52:02 - Product versus art, Ben's struggle with reviews, and Christian's least favorite game 00:56:59 - Leveling the playfield with consoles, marketing moves, and Ben's most meaningful 01:02:46 - Creating sharable experiences with game design, and Christian convinces Ben *** Follow all the shenanigans of Imaginary Game Studios here… On their website: https://www.imaginarygamestudios.com/  On their Discord: https://discord.gg/YyDD7ECtdJ  On their YouTube channel - they post all sorts of stuff from gaming news, to gaming podcasts, to game jams, to the occasional cooking video: https://www.youtube.com/@caxtnova Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On Substack: https://twovaguepodcast.substack.com/ On Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/twovaguepodcast.com For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com -AND-  …for all of your PRI and 2VP merch check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries *** References, Links, and Tags Imaginary Game Studios GAMES on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2673440/Rogue_Climber/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2175790/Meticulous/ #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #PodernFamily #InterviewShow #GamersofThreads #Gamer #PartlyRobot #PartlyRobotIndustries #TeePublic #RogueClimber #Meticulous #ImaginaryGameStudios #Caxtnova

Carl-Edwin Michel s'entretient avec Ludger Saintélien, directeur créatif chez Gearbox et vétéran du jeu vidéo passé par EA, Ubisoft, Warner et Activision. Ludger revient sur son parcours, entre design, narration visuelle et grandes franchises comme Far Cry, Batman ou Call of Duty. Il partage sa vision du rôle du directeur créatif, au croisement de l'artistique et de la coordination d'équipe. Sur l'IA, il évoque un équilibre à préserver : l'outil est prometteur, mais il ne doit pas effacer la sensibilité humaine. Chez Gearbox, l'automatisation touche les pipelines, mais la création reste entre les mains d'artistes. Pour lui, l'intuition et la touche unique de chaque créateur demeurent irremplaçables.

MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Het weekend staat voor de deur. En het belooft lekker weer te gaan worden. Misschien zelfs iets te warm in sommige regio's. Hoe fijn is het dan om iets op je oren te hebben als je straks op het strand of bij de plassen ligt. Vanuit een erg warme studio presenteren wij een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. Drie hosts, te weten Huey, Koos en Shelly gaan de discussie aan over een groot aantal onderwerpen. Bijvoorbeeld de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct van afgelopen woensdag. Wat vonden ze daarvan? Wat vinden ze van de enthousiaste previews van Borderlands 4? Dit alles en meer komt voorbij in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 20 juni 2025.Wat vonden we van de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct?Er gebeurde deze week veel. Activision wist bijvoorbeeld niet hoe snel ze moesten melden dat Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 geen wall running en jetpacks zou hebben. Waarom was dat zo'n issue? Kojima meldde dat de eerste playtest zo positief uitpakte voor het verhaal, dat hij de boel meteen herschreef. Waarom? En die nieuwe God of War Metroidvania game wordt uitgesteld. Is dit een game die we in de gaten gaan houden of zitten we niet te wachten op Kratos in een Metroidvania? En zit Kratos er wel in?Profiteer van fijne kortingen op bijvoorbeeld de Vector 16 HX en maak kans op 250 cadeaukaart bij de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer' actieDe ‘E3'-periode is een speciale tijd.

Welcome to episode #226 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!It's officially that time of year again! We have the next COD teaser trailer that just released for Black Ops 7, which is now already available for preorder, and has everyone talking. This year has left people with more questions than normal, and also a lot more basic demands from this year's installment. We share our thoughts on the trailer, and what COD really needs to focus on this year in order for this to be a turning point in the franchise, and the FPS genre altogether. We also cover the rise of Splitgate 2, and how other FPS titles are entering the sphere and could potentially take some fans away from Black Ops 7, all depending on if they listen to the fans. Will Black Ops 7 live up the hype, or are in for another year of “what if's”? What do you believe is the biggest part of the game that Treyarch and Activision need to succeed on in order to keep fans satisfied? Do you think any of the other FPS games out now will hurt the COD community, or will they fade away? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Follow us:Twitter: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Contact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#196 June The Gamers Month (Grok Summary of Transcription 6-14-25) The transcription captures a podcast episode hosted by Tim and Nate, focusing on technical setup issues, entertainment, video games, and tech updates, with a touch of personal life discussion. Here's a concise summary: Technical Setup Struggles (00:00:00 - 00:07:56): Nate and Tim troubleshoot audio and Discord issues during the podcast setup, dealing with problems like audio hijack previews and Mac output changes. They express frustration with technical glitches but eventually resolve them to start recording. Entertainment Discussion (00:08:10 - 00:30:54): The hosts discuss recent entertainment topics, starting with the tragic murder of Jonathan Ross, the voice actor for John Redcorn in King of the Hill, killed on June 1, 2025, in a hate crime. They express condolences and discuss its impact on the show's revival. They review Murderbot, a new Apple TV+ sci-fi comedy series starring Alexander Skarsgård, based on a book series. The show follows a rogue android who wants to watch soap operas but must save inept space hippies. Both hosts enjoy its humor and premise. Tim mentions watching a Gordon Ramsay show, Secret Service, where Ramsay secretly inspects restaurants, and revisiting The Drew Carey Show during a long traffic jam. Nate notes he's been too busy with work to watch much TV. They touch on the TV industry's shift to shorter seasons and the SAG-AFTRA video game strike resolution on June 11, 2025, allowing voice actors to return to major studios like Activision and EA. Video Game Showcases (00:30:54 - 01:47:15): The hosts discuss recent gaming showcases (Summer Game Fest, PlayStation State of Play, Xbox Games Showcase, and Nintendo Switch 2 launch). None stood out as exceptional, but highlights include: Summer Game Fest: A puppet boxing game with realistic physics and Resident Evil 9, set in a post-apocalyptic Raccoon City with toggleable first- and third-person perspectives. PlayStation State of Play: A James Bond game by IO Interactive, focusing on a young Bond, and a 4v4 Marvel fighting game by Arc System Works. The showcase disappointed by not showing more of Ghost of Yotei. Xbox Games Showcase: Announcements for Outer Worlds 2, Grounded 2 (out July 29, 2025), Indiana Jones DLC, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Xbox. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Solo Leveling: Overdrive were also noted. Nintendo Switch 2: Tim secured a Switch 2 at Costco unexpectedly and praises its design, despite an LCD screen. Games like Mario Kart World and No Man's Sky were discussed, with Mario Kart World criticized for lacking polish and unclear mechanics like rail grinding. Tech Talk (01:47:15 - 02:29:03): Tim shares his Switch 2 experience, praising its sleek design, improved Joy-Cons, HD Rumble 2, and DLSS upscaling, but notes issues with older Switch games in handheld mode due to CPU limitations. The Switch 2 Pro Controller is lauded for its silent, smooth sticks and customization. Nate discusses the Asus ROG Ally X Xbox Edition, a Windows 11 handheld with an Xbox mode, 24GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It's compared to the Switch 2 but lacks native Xbox game support, relying on cloud and Play Anywhere titles. They lament confusing microSD Express card standards for the Switch 2 and USB-C cable compatibility issues. Life Updates (02:29:03 - End): Both hosts mention recent birthdays and improving personal circumstances. Nate shares a humorous anecdote about his father gifting him alcohol despite his sobriety, and Tim discusses a USB hub failure affecting his streaming setup. They wrap up with Father's Day wishes and podcast sign-off. The episode blends technical banter, entertainment and gaming news, and personal anecdotes, reflecting the hosts' passion for tech and gaming amidst life's challenges.   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

Marti Romances, co-founder and creative director of Territory Studio San Fransisco, joins the podcast to share his journey from designing DVD menus in Spain to creating iconic futuristic interfaces for blockbuster films like Prometheus, The Martian, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. With roots in multimedia and motion graphics, Marti explains how his early passion for architectural drawings and spatial design naturally evolved into a unique approach to interface aesthetics. His breakthrough came when he moved to the UK and joined Activision, eventually landing at the nascent Territory Studio, where he helped define a new visual language for storytelling through motion design in narrative media. In this episode, we dive into how sci-fi interfaces not only serve narrative functions on screen but often inspire real-world technology—from heads-up displays to augmented reality systems. Marti discusses the balance between realism and imagination in interface design, the transition from on-set graphics to post-production VFX, and how new mediums like AR, AI, and automotive UX are redefining our relationship with digital interaction. As he puts it, the goal is to keep “augmenting the human experience,” whether it's in a movie theater, a car, or a future mixed-reality space.

Welcome to episode #225 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with covering the launch of season 4 for Black Ops 6, which has been nothing short of a complete disaster for Treyarch and Activision. The season launch has opened the gates up to hackers at a level we haven't seen since the early launch of ranked play, and the playerbase isn't happy. With no clear solution or timeline for fixes in sight, players are left wondering if it's still worth it to be playing the game. We share our thoughts on this issue, and our personal experience with it so far. Finally, we end with a discussion of advertisement; a big talking point with season 4. With bundles and packs being shown in every screen of the game, the question is has Activision gone too far, and are they losing sight of what's important for the game. We give our opinions on this discussion.Have you been experiencing the issues we shared in season 4? Do you think Call of Duty is working on a fix to get these issues resolved, or will it remain the same until we get the next title? Finally, has COD gone too far with advertisements for bundles? Do you feel they are losing sight of what is important? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Follow us:Twitter: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Contact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

The crew dives into a jam-packed week of industry news from Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 launch to Epic's evolving Store strategy. We unpack the growing importance of social features in games and the buzz around the new D&D project from the Star Wars Jedi director. Meanwhile, Elden Ring's Night Reign expansion proves brutally satisfying, while Zynga quietly shuts down the studio behind Torchlight. We also tackle Activision's tone-deaf in-game ads and finish with a sharp Philosophy Corner: why do so many AAA green lights go wrong—and what game dev processes desperately need fixing? Don't miss it.03:46 Pride Month Reflections05:14 Personal Updates06:18 Rants and Industry Insights09:31 LA Event Announcement11:32 RIP Sims Co-Creator Tim Luo12:58 Switch 2 Launch18:32 Epic Games Unreal + Game Store22:36 Social Features and Competition25:10 Star Wars Jedi Director's New D&D Game27:12 Elden Ring Night Reign: A Tough but Rewarding Experience31:42 Zynga Shuts Down Torchlight Developer33:09 Activision's Controversial In-Game Ads35:28 The Problem with AAA Green Lights41:02 The Need for Better Game Development Processes

Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.
