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!"

One of Auckland's oldest commercial families is spending $5 million to transform the historic Queen's Arcade into a high-end retail and wellbeing hub. Ian Wright is the property manager and spokesperson for the Davis family. He spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
This morning we spoke to Labour leader Chris Hipkins; Plus, business owners around Eden Park told us why hosting the State of Origin is a golden point win for the city; We spoke to the CEO of Contact Energy as it looks to raise millions for its renewable energy projects; The iconic Queen's Arcade in Auckland is set for glow up; And, fresh from his big night at the Halbergs, Supreme award winner Hamish Kerr joined us.
Five million dollars is being injected to revitalise one of Auckland's longest-standing shopping locations. The private capital will be used to overhaul the historic Queens Arcade, turning it into a boutique luxury retail precinct. Construction at the lower Queen Street site will begin in April and is due for completion in November. Queens Arcade Property Manager Ian Wright told Kerre Woodham the project has been over two years in the making, but they believe the timing is absolutely right. He says there's a lot of positive things happening in the CBD – foot traffic is returning, the new convention centre has opened, the CRL is opening soon, and cruise ships are still coming in.

Rejugando Chrono Trigger (Parte 2): cuando empieza la aventura… En esta segunda parte del especial de Rejugando dedicado a Chrono Trigger, dejamos atrás el contexto de su creación para meternos de lleno en lo que de verdad importa: el inicio de la aventura, ese arranque que en 1995 ya parecía magia negra y que hoy sigue funcionando como un reloj suizo… pero con viajes en el tiempo. Porque sí: aquí no estamos hablando de nostalgia por la nostalgia, sino de cómo un juego de Super Nintendo consigue atraparte en menos de una hora, explicarte su mundo sin soltarte un ladrillo y, de paso, enseñarte que cada pequeño gesto cuenta. El despertar de Crono y la feria del milenio Como manda la tradición del rol japonés, todo empieza despertándose en casa. Crono abre los ojos, su madre le recuerda que hoy es un día especial y, sin darte cuenta, el juego ya te ha colocado en medio de la feria del milenio del Reino de Guardia. No hay urgencia, no hay amenazas… solo globos, música, gente celebrando y una sensación constante de que algo importante está a punto de pasar. Aquí Rejugando se detiene en un detalle clave: Chrono Trigger te da libertad desde el minuto uno. Puedes ir directo a la feria… o perderte por el pueblo, entrar en casas, hablar con todo el mundo, descubrir tutoriales camuflados como conversaciones normales y empezar a entender cómo funciona su sistema de combate en tiempo activo, heredero directo de las ideas de Hironobu Sakaguchi y compañía. El combate: activo, fluido y sin ruido Se habla largo y tendido del sistema de combate activo, de cómo puedes ajustarlo, pausarlo o acelerarlo, y de por qué Chrono Trigger no quiere que te duermas eligiendo comandos. Todo es ágil, todo empuja hacia delante, y lo más importante: no estorba a la aventura. Nada de combates aleatorios constantes: ves a los enemigos en pantalla, decides si los esquivas o no, y cuando luchas, luchas porque algo tiene sentido ahí. Incluso cuando el juego te “engaña” con enemigos camuflados en arbustos o cofres, lo hace con picardía, no con mala leche. Marle, el colgante y las consecuencias Y entonces pasa. El choque. El colgante. Marle entra en escena y, con ella, una de las grandes lecciones de Chrono Trigger: tus actos tienen consecuencias, incluso cuando crees que no importan. En la feria puedes: Ayudar… o no. Devolver objetos… o quedártelos. Gastar dinero ajeno… o ser buena persona. Y el juego no te lo subraya. No hay aviso, no hay marcador. Simplemente recuerda. Y más adelante, te lo devuelve todo junto en forma de juicio, decisiones pasadas y miradas incómodas. En Rejugando se destaca cómo esto, en 1995, era casi ciencia ficción a nivel de diseño. Luca, la ciencia y el primer gran giro La feria también es el escenario para conocer a Luca, el cerebro tecnológico del grupo, heredera directa del espíritu inventivo de Akira Toriyama en diseño y personalidad. Su teletransportador funciona… hasta que deja de hacerlo. El colgante de Marle reacciona, se abre un portal y, de repente, la historia se rompe. Marle desaparece y Chrono Trigger deja claro que esto no va solo de pasear por un mundo bonito: vamos a jugar con el tiempo. Crono da el salto al pasado y, casi sin darte cuenta, ya estás en otra época, otro contexto, otra realidad… con enemigos visibles, pistas sutiles y una narrativa que no se explica: se descubre. Guardia, el pasado y la paradoja En el Reino de Guardia del pasado, todo empieza a encajar… y a romperse a la vez. La reina ha desaparecido, el castillo murmura, el canciller no inspira confianza y cada NPC suelta una pieza del puzzle. Aquí Rejugando se recrea en cómo el juego te enseña su mundo hablando con la gente, no con cinemáticas eternas. El gran golpe llega cuando se revela la verdad: Marle es la princesa Nadia, descendiente directa de la reina desaparecida. Y si la historia no se arregla, Marle deja de existir. Así, sin música épica ni dramatismo exagerado, Chrono Trigger introduce: Paradojas temporales Cambios en la línea histórica Consecuencias reales sobre los personajes Y lo hace con una naturalidad que todavía hoy sorprende. La catedral, el engaño y las técnicas dobles La pista lleva a la catedral de Manoria. Y como manda la tradición del género: nada bueno sale de ahí. Monjas que no son lo que parecen, pasadizos ocultos y el primer uso serio de las técnicas dobles, uno de los grandes hallazgos jugables del título. Aquí el programa se detiene en cómo Chrono Trigger enseña sus sistemas mientras avanzas la historia, sin tutoriales pesados ni interrupciones. Combinas habilidades, descubres sinergias y entiendes que el grupo importa más que el héroe solitario. Todo esto, acompañado por una banda sonora que ya empieza a dejar huella, firmada por Yasunori Mitsuda, que envuelve cada escena sin robarle protagonismo. Un inicio que ya es legendario En apenas una o dos horas, Chrono Trigger ha conseguido: Presentarte a sus protagonistas Explicarte su mundo Enseñarte a jugar Introducir viajes en el tiempo Hacer que tus decisiones importen Y lo ha hecho sin prisas, sin ruido y sin tratarte como a alguien que necesita que le expliquen las cosas dos veces. En Rejugando queda claro: este inicio no solo es brillante, es valiente. Y es uno de los motivos por los que Chrono Trigger sigue siendo una referencia absoluta, tanto si lo jugaste en los 90 como si lo descubres hoy por primera vez Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

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.

Rejugando se embarca en uno de sus especiales más ambiciosos: Chrono Trigger, el JRPG eterno En este primer programa del especial Chrono Trigger, centrados en su creación, Rejugando se enfrenta a uno de esos títulos que no solo definen una generación, sino todo un género. Publicado originalmente en 1995 para Super Nintendo, Chrono Trigger no es solo un JRPG legendario: es una obra irrepetible, nacida de una conjunción creativa que hoy sería prácticamente imposible de repetir. Desde el arranque, el programa deja claro que estamos ante un especial de largo recorrido. No se trata de un único episodio, sino de un viaje profundo por un juego cuya magnitud histórica, creativa y emocional obliga a detenerse, analizar y contextualizar cada pieza con calma. En este primer episodio participan: Raffa Valencia Adrián Plaza Eva Farto José Arkangellus Chrono Trigger y el “milagro” de su creación Uno de los ejes centrales del programa es explicar por qué Chrono Trigger existe… y por qué es casi un milagro que llegara a ver la luz. El debate se centra en el mítico “Dream Team”: Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy) Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest) Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest) Tres gigantes de la industria japonesa que coincidieron a principios de los 90 y decidieron crear un JRPG conjunto, rompiendo barreras incluso empresariales entre Square y Enix, algo impensable en aquella época. El programa detalla cómo esta alianza se gestó tras encuentros casi casuales, cómo se fue formalizando con los años y cómo Chrono Trigger empezó a tomar forma a partir de 1992, en un contexto industrial muy distinto al actual. Viajes en el tiempo, narrativa no lineal y decisiones con consecuencias Rejugando pone especial énfasis en uno de los grandes pilares del juego: los viajes en el tiempo como mecánica narrativa y jugable. Se explica cómo Chrono Trigger fue pionero en: -Mundos que cambian según la era visitada -Acciones del jugador con consecuencias reales en el futuro -Múltiples finales según decisiones clave -Una estructura narrativa compleja pero accesible Todo esto se analiza desde el punto de vista de su época, recordando que en 1995 muy pocos juegos se atrevían a jugar con estas ideas de forma tan ambiciosa y coherente. Un desarrollo lleno de riesgos, retrasos y decisiones clave El episodio entra en detalle en el desarrollo técnico y creativo del juego: El abandono del formato CD-ROM tras la cancelación del Super Nintendo CD La herencia del proyecto Secret of Mana El salto a cartuchos de 32 megas, algo excepcional en su momento El uso avanzado del Modo 7, sprites detallados y elementos prerenderizados Se habla también del alto nivel de exigencia interna, de los retrasos, del estrés del equipo y de cómo muchas decisiones críticas —como ampliar la memoria del cartucho— fueron determinantes para que Chrono Trigger alcanzara su forma final. Akira Toriyama y una identidad visual irrepetible Otro bloque fundamental del programa se centra en Akira Toriyama y su influencia artística: Diseños de personajes icónicos como Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, Robo o Ayla Enemigos con un tono caricaturesco único Animaciones y expresividad nunca vistas en un JRPG de la época Se explica cómo el equipo de Square tuvo que reinterpretar y adaptar los diseños de Toriyama al pixel art, creando sprites con una personalidad arrolladora que aún hoy siguen siendo referencia. Una experiencia personal y generacional Los participantes comparten cómo llegaron a Chrono Trigger: desde la emulación, el descubrimiento tardío en Europa, las primeras partidas incompletas, hasta redescubrimientos años después. Todo ello refuerza una idea clave del programa: Chrono Trigger no envejece. El tiempo pasa por él, pero no le afecta. Un inicio perfecto para un especial imprescindible Este primer programa no pretende agotar el tema, sino sentar las bases de lo que está por venir: análisis de sistemas de combate, música, personajes, legado, influencia en la industria y mucho más. Si amas los JRPG, si Chrono Trigger marcó tu vida o si siempre has oído hablar de él pero nunca te has lanzado, este especial de Rejugando es una invitación directa a viajar en el tiempo y descubrir por qué este juego sigue siendo, tres décadas después, uno de los grandes intocables de la historia del videojuego.

The Game of Obby in Arcade by Hanson K. by 826 Valencia
In 1985, Atari released Paperboy, an arcade game that looked simple at a glance but demanded something entirely different once players grabbed the handlebars. In this episode, we explore how Paperboy nearly disappeared during early testing, struggling with tone, readability, and player connection before being torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up. We trace how designers Dave Ralston and John Salwitz reshaped its world by watching real players, grounding its chaos in familiar suburban spaces, and redesigning everything from scoring systems to camera angles. Our conversation also dives into the physical reality of the cabinet itself, where broken welds, failed tests, and redesigned controls shaped the final experience. Join us as we steer, adapt, and survive the long road that made Paperboy an arcade classic on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

What's up, dudes? Ever get sideswiped by a song you thought was just a vibe? Chad and Laura Wonsik are with me to talk Dan Fogelberg's 1980 quietly devastating holiday classic “Same Old Lang Syne”! It's definitely a Christmas song that sneaks up on you with feelings.Set on a snowy Christmas Eve, the autobiographical song tells the story of a chance encounter between old lovers in a grocery store. There's small talk, six-packs, and a late-night bar confession where life didn't quite turn out the way either of them planned. They toast “the innocence we lost,” share one last connection, and then drift back into their separate lives without a Hallmark-esque ending.Musically, it's deceptively simple. The verses move gently through familiar I–vi–V chords, giving the story a conversational, almost spoken feel. Then the refrain shifts to vi–IV–V, lifting just enough to underline the emotional weight without ever becoming sentimental. It's soft rock storytelling at its finest: restrained, adult, and painfully human.Grocery store meet-cute? Check. Beer-fueled confession? Yep. Emotional gut punch disguised as background music? Absolutely. So grab your winter coat, hum along quietly, and relive one of the most honest Christmas songs ever written with this episode on Dan Fogelberg's “Same Old Lang Syne.”Give us a buzz!
