Podcasts about Activision

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.

Het antwoord krijg je in de GK Daily van dinsdag 10 juni 2025.Laatste twee chapters volgens lek GTA 6 nog niet afGK Daily is er maandag, dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag.

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.

Press F to pay respect.

¿Alguna vez imaginaste que una simple palabra como "monstruo" podría desatar una guerra legal? ¿O que los tatuajes de un atleta en un videojuego podrían ser motivo de demanda? El mundo de los videojuegos está repleto de batallas que trascienden las pantallas y se instalan en tribunales, donde la creatividad choca frontalmente con los límites de la propiedad intelectual.Juega IP Sidequest Showdown.  Un juego tipo escape room inspirado en este episodio. Déjanos un comentario si lograste descifrar el código.Detrás de cada título viral, cada mecánica innovadora y cada personaje memorable acecha la sombra de posibles infracciones. Descubrimos cómo Monster Energy obligó a Ubisoft a abandonar el nombre "Gods & Monsters" simplemente por incluir una palabra que consideraban suya, desatando una cascada de acciones similares contra franquicias tan establecidas como Monster Hunter y hasta Pokémon. Esta estrategia, conocida como "bullying de marcas", busca agotar recursos del contrincante más que ganar casos reales.Los límites del realismo también generan controversias fascinantes. Capcom enfrentó una demanda millonaria por utilizar texturas fotográficas sin permiso en sus juegos, mientras que Activision ganó una batalla histórica por mostrar vehículos Humvee en Call of Duty bajo protección de libertad artística. Entretanto, los fans que reconstruyeron GTA 3 y Vice City para mejorarlos descubrieron que su homenaje era visto como infracción por Take-Two.La industria japonesa marca tendencia protegiendo hasta las mecánicas de juego más básicas mediante patentes. Nintendo consiguió 30 millones de dólares de un desarrollador que usó controles táctiles similares a los suyos, y Sega demandó por mecánicas gacha protegidas. Estos casos establecen precedentes peligrosos: ya no solo se protegen personajes y logos, sino también cómo funciona un juego.¿Quieres convertirte en experto legal gamer? Prueba nuestro juego Juega IP Sidequest Showdown en www.intangiblia.com donde te enfrentarás a misiones inspiradas en estos casos reales. Recuerda: la creatividad corre rápido, pero la propiedad intelectual te alcanza más rápido que un boss final con Rage Mode.

Hay cosas poco probables en la vida, como ser golpeado por un rayo más de una vez, o ganar la lotería, pero toda la comunidad científica coincidía en que es más probable que dos personas ganen la lotería al mismo tiempo que son golpeadas por dos rayos simultáneamente a que se graben tres episodios de Café Fandango al hilo sin la presencia del opresivo y malvado Eduardo. Pero aquí estamos, contra todo pronóstico, publicando el episodio 556, último episodio de libertad y amor antes de que vuelva la opresión y la oscuridad. Aprovechamos estas últimas horas para invitar a nuestro gran amigo Nico de Spreadshot News, que nos cuenta que estuvo probando el remaster del System Shock, además de recomendar rejugar al Half Life 2 con el nuevo parche con los comentarios de los desarrolladores. Gus por su lado sigue con el Oblivion remastered meditando sobre lo importante y poco importante que es su personaje al mismo tiempo. Luego pasamos a las noticias donde Activision le hace un headshot al CoD Warzone Mobile, se viene un parche gratuito a la trilogía Stalker, Bungie bajó su trabajo práctico del rincón del vago, Hideo Kojima medita sobre su mortalidad y cerramos con Fortnite que tiene a Darth Vader diciendo mensajes... cuestionables. Finalmente con la Pregunta Fandango metemos a nuestros viejos en un videojuego para sumárlos a nuestra party.

Op het beeldscherm voor je prijkt een nieuwe aflevering van onze dagelijkse vodcast Gamekings Daily. Elke doordeweekse dag bespreken we in deze podcast & video de laatste ontwikkelingen in de videogames wereld. Misschien niet altijd het laatste nieuws, maar wel altijd de belangrijkste lopende zaken. In deze verse editie praten Jasper en JJ over het stop zetten van Call of Duty Warzone op de mobiel. Hoe kan het dat een modus die op PC en consoles mega populair is, het op de mobiel totaal niet doet. Ook bespreken ze de uitspraak van Nintendo dat ze hun eigen games niet op key cards gaan zetten. Koop je dus straks Mario Kart Worlds, dan kun je ook echt de fysieke game uit het doosje vissen. Dit en meer zie je hoor je in de GK Daily van dinsdag 20 mei 2025.Da's pech, Call of Duty Warzone Mobile is weg...GK Daily is er op de maandag, dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag. Op de vijfde werkdag, geheten de vrijdag, hebben we zoals altijd EvdWL, de uitgebreide podcast over al het nieuws van de week. In deze editie praten Jasper en JJ zoals eerder gesteld over het stopzetten van Call of Duty Warzone op de mobiel. Waar de gewone mobiele versie van Call of Duty inmiddels de grens van een miljard downloads is overschreden, daar lukte het Activision/Blizzard niet om Warzone bij het grote publiek aan de man te brengen. Hoe kan dat?Nintendo brengt de eigen games niet op een key card uitDe twee hebben het ook over de uitspraak van Nintendo dat ze de eigen Switch 2-games 'vooralsnog' niet op key cards willen uitbrengen. Waarom doen ze dat niet? Ze willen de verkoop van tweedehands games toch juist tegenwicht bieden? Dan is een key card een ideale tool.Timestamps:00:00:00 Gamekings Daily dinsdag 20 mei00:00:15 Introductie00:06:22 Activision stopt met Warzone mobile00:12:08 Nintendo zet zelf geen games op key cards

Welcome to episode #222 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with some reminiscing on the old days of gaming all night, and how we feel games haven't been as good in recent years to make us want to play all night; especially with COD. This is still due to a lot of issues that have continued to go unfixed, particularly the cheaters that lots of players still deal with daily in multiplayer and warzone. We cover the how and why that these changes aren't resolved. Finally, we close out with the addition of Mercules to OpTic Texas, and the talks around him being a generational player. With this pickup, it leaves us talking about lots of mid-tier teams and their lack of roster changes. We discuss the pros and cons of making changes overall, and at this point in the season. When was the last time you gamed all night? Do you think games have gotten worse, or have we gotten more picky with our games? Do you think cheating will always be an issue in COD, or will Activision fix it at some point? What do you think of Mercules and his performance with the team? Will he get them back to the top, or is it too late? 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

Send us a textThe prodigal map returns! After three long years of increasingly frustrating updates that drove away casual players, Call of Duty Warzone has finally listened to its community by bringing back Verdansk – and it might just be the game's saving grace.Stepping back into the familiar terrain feels like rediscovering an old favorite book. The buildings, sightlines, and strategic positioning that made the original Warzone so captivating are all here, but with thoughtful improvements that address previous shortcomings. The addition of natural cover throughout previously exposed areas, swimmable water bodies, and a refined loot system create a more balanced experience without sacrificing what made Verdansk special in the first place.For casual players who might only get a few hours of gameplay each week, this update represents a significant win. The return of map knowledge as a competitive advantage means that even if you can't dedicate eight hours daily to mastering movement mechanics, you can still leverage your familiarity with the environment to outsmart opponents. The one-shot headshot capability of sniper rifles has returned, vehicles can once again be countered effectively with explosives, and the original Gulag provides a balanced 1v1 environment that feels fair for both competitors.Perhaps most importantly, this update strikes the right balance between nostalgia and innovation. Rather than simply repackaging old content, Activision has carefully integrated modern improvements while maintaining the core experience that made Warzone a phenomenon in the first place. The floating loot visualization, progressive ground loot quality throughout match phases, and subtle terrain adjustments all enhance gameplay without fundamentally changing what worked.If you've been away from Warzone due to frustration with previous updates, now might be the perfect time to drop back in. The learning curve is significantly reduced for returning players, and the more balanced gameplay creates opportunities for both tactical play and high-octane action. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, Verdansk's return offers the most accessible and enjoyable Warzone experience in years.Support the show

What happens when the dream job turns into a corporate casualty?Benedikt Oehmen spent nearly two decades at Blizzard—first as a support staffer, then a beloved team leader—only to watch the company's gamer-first culture erode after its merger with Activision. When layoffs came, it wasn't just a paycheck he lost. It was identity, community, and certainty.But Benedikt didn't stay stuck. He pivoted from game development to career redevelopment—first coaching his own team through grief and transition, then launching a business to guide others through the same. In this episode, he shares his powerful “Big Three” framework—Be Kind, Be Present, Be Open—along with practical tools for anyone facing layoffs, career upheaval, or a post-corporate identity crisis. It's not just theory—it's lived wisdom from someone who's been there.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Blizzard Beginnings: From Physics to Warcraft“I took a semester off physics to try working at Blizzard… 17 years later, I was still there.”When Work Feels Like Family—Until It Doesn't“It wasn't just a job. We played together, worked together, partied together. And then came the layoffs.”Culture Clash: When Epic Games Turn Into Earnings Reports“After the Activision merger, all we heard was: how do we make more money?”Career Plot Twist: Coaching Instead of Collapsing“I stayed to help my team transition. That's when I discovered coaching—and myself.”No More Overlords: Why He Chose Life After Layoffs“I didn't want to keep making rich people richer. I wanted to help geeks like me take back control.”The Big Three: A Framework for ReinventionBe Kind. Be Present. Be Open. Simple words, real results.Mistakes = Learning in Disguise“Writing a book felt impossible—until I reframed it. Not ‘write a book.' Just ‘become a person who writes daily.'”From Grief to Growth: Why Change Can Still Be Kind“It's okay to mourn the past. But if you listen to your future self, you'll start moving again.”______________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Benedikt Oehmen  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

What if the next great game studio doesn't come from the West? In this episode, Ben chats with Rob Wynne and Clark Kosene from Rising Tide Studios—an unannounced AAA-inspired indie team taking a bold leap: building a game that truly bridges Eastern and Western audiences. We dive deep into why the moat of Western AAA game development is disappearing fast—and how China, with more devs than the U.S. and EU combined, is already playing on equal footing. Rob and Clark share the untold story of how Rising Tide's founding team (ex-Activision and former Soulslike directors) aims to skip the slow forming-storming norm and go straight to "performing" with their next-gen isometric action roguelike. Why are Western games losing ground? Can a game truly appeal to both Western and Eastern markets?  How do you create narrative depth without sacrificing gameplay flow?  Why creativity thrives on constraints—and how Rising Tide harnessed it Clark also reflects on transitioning from screenwriting to games, and the team's surprising approach to embedding story: real-time commentary inspired by Chinese crosstalk comedy. Their goal? A game where narrative flows during gameplay—not in between. If you're interested in global game dev trends, narrative innovation, or the future of indie-AAA (triple-I) development, don't miss this conversation.

"Digital did not ruin filmmaking. Digital gave us the Duplass brothers. Digital democratized it and then people were like, 'Oh well, it's not digital that's going to ruin it, it's this thing called YouTube that's going to ruin it.' And in fact YouTube is incredibly entertaining and good stuff percolates up all the time. And I would just say, sadly every new technology turn has been met with the same argument of it's going to ruin X, and yet it hasn't."Today's episode is a sit down with Matt's friend and award-winning film director, Ben Hansford, where they discuss AI and how it's affecting actors & the entertainment industry. Ben, one of the leading creatives in the A.I. & Machine Learning space (which he now teaches at USC), has worked on multi-national campaigns for some of the world's largest brands including  Nike, Old Spice, Bethesda, Call of Duty, Bungie, Activision, EA, X-Box, Microsoft, Mountain Dew, Marvel, & more.

Show Notes: Steven Chao, a US-born second-generation college student, shares his experiences growing up in South Carolina and feeling overwhelmed upon arriving at Harvard in 1988. He found solace in joining the Collegium Musicum, a classical musical singing group at Harvard, which helped him find his footing and connect with people from his class.  From Biochem to Game Design to Consulting Steven majored in biochemistry, which expanded his social circle and helped him find happiness. Steven's parents were both PhDs and pushed him into the MD PhD program. However, he faced challenges in medical school and research, leading to questions about his path and the decision to pursue a career in computer gaming. Steven talks about his experience working in the sound and asset acquisition field at Activision in LA. He initially had a great time there but ultimately decided that it wasn't the long-term solution for him. He returned to his PhD program and he pinned his hopes on becoming a doctor. During the last half of the MD program, Steven realized that he didn't want to be a researcher or go into medicine. He found an opportunity to explore other careers beyond medicine or research through a sub-intern at McKinsey.  The McKinsey Years Steven joined McKinsey full-time in 2001 and worked in the Boston office. The bulk of his work was in the payer and provider space, mainly health insurance and hospital systems. He spent about four and a half years at McKinsey, starting from scratch with no business background, which proved difficult. Steven's PhD focused on biology, not analytical skills, but rather gene genetic rearrangement and plasmids, and he felt lost at the beginning of McKinsey. At the same time, he also participated in the mini MBA program in Austria.  Despite meeting great friends at McKinsey, his work was hit or miss. Steven talks about a few of the McKinsey projects he worked on and how a pharma project with Jeff Elton piqued his interest in returning to biopharma. He later worked with Kim Packard, who was his first and best mentor at McKinsey. Steven was late to promotion and advancement, and in 2004, when his wife became pregnant, he gave up his job and started considering what he would do next. Boutique Consulting, Life Sciences, and Biotech Companies In 2004, Steven joined a small consulting group at an investment bank called Leering Swan, which focused on life sciences and biotech companies. This was a better fit for Steven, who had always wanted to leverage his love for science. He joined the firm and was assigned to a project in Parkinson's disease. The experience was mind-blowing, as he interviewed world experts in this space. He was hooked within a week and found the career to be a good fit for him. The combination of his love for science and medicine, without needing to do research or have a career in clinical practice, was perfect, as he loved learning about different aspects of medicine, and the variety and diversity of the day-to-day work.   Founding ClearView Steven left Leering Swan with two other people in 2008 to co-found ClearView. ClearView was born of the same concept as Leering Swan, but focused on life sciences, biotech, pharma, private equity clients, diagnostics companies, and strategic consulting. Steven's primary hat was recruiting, and he continued to love every second of doing so. ClearView Healthcare Partners is now a well-known, private consulting firm with several 100 employees. The company has a growing presence in London, India, San Francisco, New York, and Boston.  Family Life and a Love of Musicals On the personal side, Steven has a family of four children, three girls and a boy. They also have two in college and two still in high school. The oldest is a sophomore at Harvard. Music has always been a significant part of their family. They have a love for Broadway musical theater, and they have spent a lot of time attending performances. Their youngest son is doing a local production of Hadestown in Wellesley, and their oldest is performing at the Agassi theater in a production of 9-5, the film with Dolly Parton, which has themes of female empowerment.     Timestamps: 04:50: Transition to Medical School and Early Career Challenges  13:14: Joining McKinsey and Early Consulting Experience  23:20: Discovering a Passion for Biopharma Consulting 30:04: Founding ClearView Healthcare Partners  37:27: Personal Life and Family  Featured Non-profit: Hi. This is Steve Chao, class of 1992. The featured nonprofit of this episode of The 92 report is the Merriemack Repertory Theater. My wife and I love live theater. The MRT is a fantastic organization that puts on plays and musicals every year, serving a wide catchment area in and around Lowell, Massachusetts. I was actually introduced to the MRT via a fellow class of 92 Carrie Suzawa, married named Michael. And you can learn more about the work of the MRT through the website, mrt.org.

Meine Lieben, stellt euch vor, die größte Schauspielergewerkschaft der Welt bestreikt seit fast einem Jahr die größten Videospiel-Publisher der Welt … und fast niemand redet darüber. Damit ist jetzt Schluss. Zusammen mit der Journalistin, Schauspielerin und Synchronsprecherin Lynne Glaner spreche ich über Hintergründe und Auswirkungen des voraussichtlich längsten Streiks in der Geschichte der US-Schauspielergewerkschaft, über die Gefahren und Chancen von generativer Stimm-KI und das Leben und Arbeiten als Sprecherin in der Film-, Serien- und Videospielbranche.

We talk Xbox Games Showcase 2025 and hints about what that might look like, Outer Worlds 2 Direct, the Minecraft Movie memes, Xbox's new ad, and much more.

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.
