What's up, dudes? I've got AA and CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night here to talk the remarkably well written Robotech! For a kids show, it tackled some pretty adult themes! There's a love triangle, civilian casualties, and a successful villain mission? What?! It's true! It's Christmas time, and Khyron is out for protoculture! This means he plans to lead a raiding party to take some by force. Meanwhile, Rick Hunter's personal life is thrown into further disarray when his ex Minmei shows up unexpectedly due to her seasonal loneliness. And when his potential (and spoiler alert: eventual) love interest Lisa Hayes catches them in flagrante delicto, things get even more dicey! Khyron subsequently attacks, and while veritech pilots are scrambled, Lisa neglects to contact Rick due to her spurned heart. Overhearing the conflict on the news, Rick rushes to the city's aid. Unfortunately Khyron is sneakily strategic, and plants bombs around the city. It's get the bad guy or save the city time, so there's only one thing to do!There are multiple casualties and injured, but not even a Zentraedi attack can break the Christmas spirit! The faithful gather at a church to sing “Silent Night,” and Rick and Minmei share a meal and a kiss!This Christmas episode is heart-pounding and gut-wrenching! It's also a tribute to the human spirit and the spirit of Christmas! So grab your protoculture, hop into your veritech's cockpit, and fly into this Robotech episode!!Just Another Friday NightFacebook: JAFNPodcastTwitter: @JAFNpodcastInstagram: @JAFNpodcastMerch: jafn Give us a buzz!

Podcast-EpisoFolge 268 der "kleinen" Zeitreise in die Welt vergangener Homecomputer, Spielekonsolen und Games von Patrick und Robin ist online. Christian, Patrick & Robin nehmen sich dieses Mal obskure Arcade Ports für MS DOS Computer vor.
On this week's show we have a shootout between four set top boxes and we try to determine which one is best for you. We also read your email and take a look at the week's email. News: Netflix Walks With A Cool $2.8 Billion Breakup Fee: Who Gets What In New Paramount-WBD Merger Proposal Viewers Continue To 'Struggle' With Sports Program Discovery Samsung Wallet's 'Digital Home Key' lets me use my phone to open my doors Set Top Box Shootout On last week's show, in response to a news story, Ara asked why would someone use a FireTV set top box over ones from Apple, Google, or Roku. So for this week we decided to do a comparison of them all and try to identify who each product would benefit the most. For this comparison we looked at the Apple TV 4K (latest 3rd-gen model from 2022, still current), Google TV Streamer (the modern successor to Chromecast with Google TV), Roku (focusing on high-end like Roku Ultra or Streaming Stick 4K), and Amazon Fire TV (focusing on popular models like Fire TV Stick 4K Max or Cube). All support 4K HDR streaming including Dolby Vision, major apps (Netflix, Disney+, etc.), and voice remotes. In a nutshell, the differences come down to your ecosystem, interface, performance, ads, and price. Apple TV 4K Price range: ~$129–$149 (64GB Wi-Fi or 128GB Wi-Fi + Ethernet). Key specs: A15 Bionic chip (fast/smooth), Wi-Fi 6, optional Ethernet, Dolby Vision/Atmos/HDR10+, Thread smart home hub, USB-C Siri Remote. Pros: Premium, ad-free high performance interface with fast app loading. Excellent integration with Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPlay, Apple TV+, Fitness+, Arcade). Superior picture/audio quality, privacy focus (less tracking), and acts as a smart home hub. Great for gaming (Apple Arcade) and high-end home theater setups. Cons: Most expensive option. Less neutral—prioritizes Apple content/services. Fewer "free/ad-supported" channels compared to rivals. Best for: Apple users and those wanting a premium, ad free experience. Google TV Streamer Price range: ~$90–$100 (Buy Now). Key specs: Powerful processor (faster than old Chromecast), 32GB storage, Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet, Dolby Vision/Atmos, Google Home/Matter smart home support, hands-free options in some setups. Pros: Intuitive, personalized interface with excellent content discovery/search across services. Strong Google ecosystem integration (YouTube, Nest, Google Assistant, synced watchlists). Good performance/speed, supports cloud gaming, and broad app support. Balanced neutral approach. Cons: Some ads and recommendations can feel cluttered. More expensive than basic sticks but cheaper than Apple. Interface may prioritize Google content slightly. Best for: Google/Android users or those wanting smart recommendations and smart home features. Roku (Ultra or Streaming Stick 4K) Price range: ~$30–$100 (Buy Now). Key specs: Fast quad-core processor (in Ultra), Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet (Ultra), Dolby Vision/Atmos/HDR10+, rechargeable Voice Remote Pro (Ultra), broad smart home compatibility. Pros: Simple, neutral, user-friendly interface with huge app/channel selection (including tons of free/ad-supported content). No heavy ecosystem bias—treats all services equally. Often the most affordable high-quality options; great search/universal watchlist. Compatible with Alexa, Google, Apple Home; highly popular among cord-cutters. Cons: Can feel slower on lower-end models compared to premium rivals. Some ads on home screen. Less "smart home hub" depth than Apple/Google. Best for: Most people—especially beginners or those wanting value and neutrality. Amazon Fire TV (Fire TV Stick 4K Max or Cube) Price range: ~$25–$60 Sticks (Buy Now) to ~$100+ Cube (Buy Now). Key specs: Fast processor/Wi-Fi 6E (Max), Dolby Vision/Atmos, Alexa voice, Ambience mode, Ethernet (Cube). Pros: Very affordable, especially on sale. Quick performance and deep Amazon Prime integration (Prime Video priority). Excellent Alexa/smart home control (Ring, Echo, etc.). Good app support and features like live TV guides. Cons: Heavy ads and Prime content promotion (can feel pushy/cluttered). Interface prioritizes Amazon ecosystem over neutrality. Privacy concerns with more tracking. Best for: Amazon Prime members or Alexa/Echo households on a budget. Overall, Roku wins for broad appeal and value, while we give the nod to the Apple TV 4K for premium quality, and the Google TV Streamer excels for smart features. Choose based on your ecosystem (Apple/Google/Amazon) or if you want neutral/no-fuss just go with Roku.

Mikey Tabletop (0-2 Heroes Podcast) joins as co-host to talk about why this game deserves more love than it gets. Between the gorgeous animation, the attention paid to competitive mechanics, and a soundtrack that's closer to "good jazz" than most games get (you too, New Vegas, sorry), it's easy to gush over Skullgirls.

My Arcade continues to build on its reputation for creative, nostalgia‑driven gaming hardware with a new lineup that blends classic arcade experiences with modern design. The company's approach focuses on reimagining retro play in ways that feel familiar to longtime fans while remaining accessible to new audiences. At CES 2026, My Arcade introduced several products that highlight this philosophy, including a jukebox‑inspired gaming speaker, an updated handheld system, and a growing catalog of licensed titles from major gaming publishers.The company's design direction emphasizes playful form factors, authentic arcade aesthetics, and user‑friendly features. These elements support a wide range of players, from collectors seeking display‑worthy hardware to casual gamers who want portable access to classic titles.Jukebox Player Combining Music and Arcade GameplayOne of the most distinctive products introduced this year is the Jukebox Player, a device that merges a portable Bluetooth speaker with built‑in arcade games. The unit features a retro‑styled cabinet design with illuminated accents and a front‑facing speaker system engineered for everyday music listening. The inclusion of Bandai Namco titles transforms the device into a hybrid entertainment system that supports both audio playback and classic gaming.The concept reflects a growing trend in which users combine music and gameplay in shared environments. By integrating both functions into a single device, the Jukebox Player offers a compact and visually striking option for fans who want a multifunctional piece of retro‑inspired hardware.GameStation Retro Go Handheld SystemMy Arcade also showcased the GameStation Retro Go, a handheld system designed to deliver an extensive library of classic titles. The device includes more than two hundred games from Bandai Namco and Capcom, offering a broad selection of arcade and console favorites. The eight‑inch display uses a four‑by‑three aspect ratio, which preserves the original presentation of retro games and avoids the stretching common on widescreen devices.The system includes a built‑in kickstand for tabletop play and a rechargeable battery for portable use. A key feature is the company's Smart Glow technology, which illuminates only the controls required for the selected game. This guidance helps players navigate large game libraries without guesswork. The latest version of Smart Glow adds turbo and macro functionality, allowing users to assign rapid‑fire actions or complex move sequences to dedicated buttons. These enhancements support both casual play and more advanced gaming styles.Expanding Licensed Retro TitlesMy Arcade continues to grow its licensed catalog, with Sega joining Bandai Namco and Capcom as a major partner. Recent releases include Sonic‑themed tabletop units and joystick players that have performed strongly in retail environments. Additional Sega‑based products are planned, including devices featuring Shinobi, OutRun, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage. These systems incorporate themed controls, illuminated marquees, and gameplay faithful to the original titles.The company also offers Pixel Pockets, a line of fully playable keychain systems that include complete game ROMs rather than abbreviated versions. These miniature devices appeal to collectors and fans who want portable access to authentic retro gameplay.ConclusionMy Arcade's CES 2026 lineup demonstrates a continued commitment to creative hardware design and authentic retro gaming experiences. The Jukebox Player blends music and arcade play in a unique form factor, while the GameStation Retro Go expands handheld gaming with a large library and intuitive control guidance. The company's growing partnerships with major publishers further strengthen its position in the retro gaming market. As interest in classic games continues to rise, My Arcade's products offer a blend of nostalgia, innovation, and accessibility for players of all ages.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

These enhancements support both casual play and more advanced gaming styles.Expanding Licensed Retro TitlesMy Arcade continues to grow its licensed catalog, with Sega joining Bandai Namco and Capcom as a major partner. Recent releases include Sonic‑themed tabletop units and joystick players that have performed strongly in retail environments. Additional Sega‑based products are planned, including devices featuring Shinobi, OutRun, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage. These systems incorporate themed controls, illuminated marquees, and gameplay faithful to the original titles.The company also offers Pixel Pockets, a line of fully playable keychain systems that include complete game ROMs rather than abbreviated versions. These miniature devices appeal to collectors and fans who want portable access to authentic retro gameplay.ConclusionMy Arcade's CES 2026 lineup demonstrates a continued commitment to creative hardware design and authentic retro gaming experiences. The Jukebox Player blends music and arcade play in a unique form factor, while the GameStation Retro Go expands handheld gaming with a large library and intuitive control guidance. The company's growing partnerships with major publishers further strengthen its position in the retro gaming market. As interest in classic games continues to rise, My Arcade's products offer a blend of nostalgia, innovation, and accessibility for players of all ages.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Eh, Yo! Let's dive into Hyper Beer Co Arcade in Anaheim California. This week we get to talk to the owner of Hyper Beer Co Arcade Hans.

Hans has started routing arcade games and pinballs with it all culminating in to opening Hyper Beer Co Arcade.Hyper Beer Co Arcade is a very interesting project. Hans had the games, found a location and partnered up with a local brewery that he already had games at to make Hyper Beer Co Arcade happen. Hans tells us about how they are a tasting room for Hyper Beer Co and they fall under the same liquor license as the brewery. This is a creative way to get beer into your arcade.Hyper Beer Co has a solid selection of pinballs, arcade games, sports games, and plenty of beer.

What's up, dudes? It's Mardi Gras, so we're celebrating with a special episode of M.A.S.K. "Mardi Gras Mystery!" Oh, and there's a Christmas comic we're talking about too. Nicholas Pepin of Pop Culture Roulette joins me to dig into the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand UK comic Christmas issue and Fat Tuesday episode! In "Christmas Kidnap," Matt Trakker takes his son and robot sidekick T-Bob to a toy store in London. Scott visits Santa, and gets kidnapped by Miles Mayhem who was masquerading (no pun intended) as Father Christmas. Consequently, T-Bob has to rescue Scott. Luckily, he does, and V.E.N.O.M. ends up buried under Christmas decorations. In "Mardi Gras Mystery," once again Matt, Scott, and T-Bob are on a mission, this time in New Orleans. V.E.N.O.M. is looking for a super fuel resource, and M.A.S.K. has to stop them. Of course, shenanigans ensue. Undercover ops are blown, vehicles can't transform, and kids fall into quicksand. In the end, Scott pours super fuel residue into the baddies' fuel tanks. Masks? Check. Vehicles? Got 'em. Disguises? Well, if you like Groucho Marx glasses. so put on your mask, drive to New Orleans, and celebrate Mardi Gras (and Christmas) to this episode on M.A.S.K. "Mardi Gras Mystery!"

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1268: Today we cover Lithia's reluctance to sell Chinese brands in the U.S., Stellantis quietly bringing diesel back to Europe as EV demand cools, and how companies like Canva and Meta are now testing job candidates on how well they use AI instead of banning it.Show Notes with links: Lithia Motors CEO Bryan DeBoer signaled the company is not planning to be an early retailer of Chinese vehicles in the U.S. or Canada, citing the lack of a built-in service base to support long-term profitability.DeBoer said without an established fleet of vehicles on the road, new Chinese brands would not provide the recurring service traffic dealerships rely on.After-sales generated 41% of Lithia's gross profit in 2025 with a 58% gross margin.Lithia currently sells several Chinese brands in the U.K., including BYD, MG, Chery, Leapmotor and Jaecoo, across a “double-digit” number of stores.DeBoer said entering the U.S. market would require a broader partnership with a Chinese automaker, including greater control over after-sales operations and potentially pricing, in order to make the economics work without an existing service base.Stellantis is quietly reintroducing diesel engines across at least seven models in Europe, positioning the automaker against Chinese EV competitors and responds to sustained customer demand.Diesel accounted for just 7.7% of European new car sales in 2025, compared to 19.5% for fully electric vehicles, but remains a lower-cost alternative for high-mileage and towing customers.Chris Knapman, CarGurus UK editorial director: “If you're a European brand looking to differentiate yourself, diesel is an area where you could have a competitive advantage over those newer brands.”A growing number of companies are no longer trying to prevent candidates from using AI during interviews — they're encouraging it. Firms like Canva, Meta and McKinsey are redesigning hiring processes to evaluate how well applicants work with AI tools.Canva reworked technical interviews to allow — and expect — AI use, focusing on complex problems where candidates must show how they interact with the tool, not just the output.Candidates share their screens or submit AI chat transcripts so interviewers can evaluate judgment, iteration and decision-making.Arcade, an IT startup, now expects candidates to use AI in take-home exercises, emphasizing a candidate's “taste” and ability to refine AI-generated work.Meta is developing AI-assisted coding interviews, and McKinsey is piloting case interviews using its internal AI tool, Lilli.“What we're testing for now … is an ability to harness that power, to control that power — to kind of ride the dragon,” said Canva CTO Brendan Humphreys.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What's up, dudes? A LOST EPISODE has been found! The Christmas Cousins, Chad and Seth, are here (back in August of '24) to talk the 1986 special "Santabear's First Christmas!" This "Reading Rainbow"-like special is narrated by Kelly McGillis and composed by Michael Hedges. In fact, it's based on a book by Barbara Read and adapted by Thomas Roberts.When a young snowbear is separated from his parents, he's adopted by a young girl named Marie. Marie and her grandfather teach the bear to read, speak, and bake cookies. Unfortunately, the girl's grandfather falls ill, and the firewood runs low. The snowbear ventures out to collect firewood.Subsequently, he falls in a snow drift and is trapped. A moose rescues him and takes him to some beavers, but they are all out of wood. Luckily, Santa shows up, gives the bear a saw and a sled, and the bear delivers the wood to the girl. Santa Claus appoints the young bear as his helper in delivering toys to the animals in the forest, and he becomes known as Santabear. Oh, and he's reunited with his family.Friendly young girl? Check. Barbarian Santa? Yep. Unhygienic kitchen? Probably, if a bear is baking cookies. So grab your saw, cut down some firewood, and train a bear to listen to this episode on "Santabear's First Christmas!"Christmas CousinsFB: @ChristmasCousinsPodTwitter: @XmasCousinsPodIG: @christmascousinspodGive us a buzz!
