Let's be honest, the gaming industry is in a pretty rotten place. In the last few months alone we've seen layoffs, cancellations, and price hikes - just to name a few. So this week, we're putting our heads together and brainstorming a few ideas for Fixing The Games Industry - all of which are totally serious and genuine and which we wholeheartedly stand behind!Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

We're diving deep into the dungeon to celebrate 40 years of Gauntlet, the legendary arcade game that changed the way we played together. Four players, endless enemies, and that unforgettable voice: “Wizard needs food… badly.” We explore the origins of Gauntlet, the factors that led to its critical and financial success, and how it helped pave the way for the co-op games we love today. So grab a  potion, steer clear of Death, and let's journey back to 1985. Gauntlet turns 40 – and it still rules the dungeon! (May contain some explicit language.)

Creating a musical score for interactive video games is like trying to hit a moving target. Luckily, Hans Zimmer's studio Bleeding Fingers has developed some clever strategies. I talk with their CEO Russell Emanuel and musicians Thom Lukas and Giovanni Rios about how they create innovative scores for games like Arknights, and why they thrive under creative limitations. Grammy-winning video game composer Winifred Phillips discusses how she builds adaptive scores that shift and respond to unpredictable gameplay. And video game historian and RPI professor William Gibbons explains why the technological limitations of ‘80s and ‘90s games actually fueled composers' creativity.   This week's episode is sponsored by The Perfect Jean.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 152 - Lucy Prebble - Playwright / Writer Playwright and writer Lucy Prebble (SUCCESSION, I HATE SUZIE, ENRON) joins us in this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. Lucy's plays frequently incorporate the physical space of the stage in the telling of the story and involve the audience in engaging and creative ways, and we were excited to talk to her about storytelling both on stage and on screen. We learn how, after a bookish childhood, she eventually found the courage to have her own plays put on, and she reflects on her experiences running her own television show and working on others'. Lucy also wrote for the amply-budgeted video game DESTINY, and she shares (as much as she's allowed to) how the writing process works for something with that many resources. Lucy also reveals the real-world events that inspired her plays ENRON and THE SUGAR SYNDROME, and we learn how she identifies the real human relationships at the heart these stories. We also discuss the value of empathy and deadlines for a writer, and Lucy makes a prediction for the future of the theatre in the digital age. Plus, we observe that many of history's greatest writers were really just frustrated actors. - This episode is sponsored by Barco & Aputure

It all seemed too plain, too simple, too lacking in complexity, and while a part of me was relieved to suddenly have less "homework" to do as I'm forever catching up on RPGs that I missed, part of me felt an ever-present need to "get it". Yada yada yada, I finally had another reason to try Dragon Quest, starting with Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride on DS, and folks....I get it now. Tune in to find out how I got there.

Explore the early days of Disney's foray into video games, focusing on the company's collaboration with Sierra On-Line during the 1980s. The episode covers the background of Disney's interest in emerging technology under CEO Ron Miller, the animation studio's response to the home video and gaming boom, and how Sierra On-Line grew from a family-run business into a leader in graphic adventure games. Listeners will hear about the creation of classic games like Mystery House and the influence of pioneers Ken and Roberta Williams, as well as Sierra's partnerships with Jim Henson (for The Dark Crystal) and with Disney for educational “edutainment” software. The episode also discusses the development of titles such as Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood, Mickey's Space Adventure, Donald Duck's Playground, and The Black Cauldron. Eric explains the challenges of licensing Disney IP, why Sierra eventually moved on from Disney collaborations, and how shifts in Disney leadership impacted the future of Disney video games. This is part one of a series on Disney gaming history, with future episodes covering Disney's relationship with Capcom and the rise of the Disney video game empire.

This week on NAFC, Windows 11 update... and still no one wants it. The crew shares their collective refusal while sidetracking into the mystery of Sister Hong (don't worry, it's as weird as it sounds). Gibbs gives his thoughts on Solo Leveling and whether it lives up to the anime hype, while Mox returns from ACGHK 2025 with tales of merch, crowds, and cosplay chaos. He also reviews Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel's latest attempt at relevance—does it stick the landing? Meanwhile, Izzy's one minor inconvenience away from actually killing a mockingbird. They wrap it up with a review of Fermat's Room (2007), where math becomes deadly and the tension's tighter than Gibbs' trust circle. Support us on Patreon!

In der dritten Folge der SHOCK2 Filmkiste nehmen sich Hanns Peter Glock und Michael einen echten Kultfilm vor: Highlander aus dem Jahr 1986. Gemeinsam plaudern sie über unsterbliche Krieger, den legendären Soundtrack von Queen, schräge Zeitsprünge und warum der Film bis heute eine treue Fangemeinde hat – trotz (oder wegen?) seiner Videospiel-Umsetzungen und Fortsetzungen. Es kann nur einen geben – aber viele gute Gründe, diese Folge zu hören! Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Hören und freuen uns auch dieses Mal besonders auf euren Input, Ideen & Feedback im Forum.

Former Nexon CEO Owen Mahoney joins Aaron Bush for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about the current and future state of the games industry. While Owen had a successful decade-long run leading one of Asia's most important gaming companies, this episode explores what he's been thinking about since stepping down – namely through his sharp (and sometimes spicy) essays critiquing industry norms and offering a vision for what comes next. We discuss the realities of managing $100M+ budget decisions, the troubling positions of many Western publishers, the benefits of simplifying publisher strategies, and Owen's bullishness on AI. Notably, despite slow industry growth at present, Owen explains why he thinks our industry could triple in size from here. Whether you're an executive, founder, or just fascinated by how games are built and funded, this episode is packed with battle-tested insights and bold predictions. We'd like to thank Lightspeed Venture Partners for making this episode possible!

It’s official: after nearly 40 years of rumours, Nintendo has confirmed that Mario and Princess Peach are not an item. Just mates. And honestly? With Mario still living upstairs at his parents’ house in a shared room with Luigi, who can blame her? We deep into fictional crushes—from Mufasa’s BDE to Miss Piggy’s chaotic charm—and the horny hotline does not disappoint. One caller is hot for Mickey Mouse. Another? The fox from Zootopia. We’re not here to judge… but wow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steam and Itch.io are banning indie horror games like Mouthwashing and Vile: Exhumed, and the NSFW purge started by activist group Collective Shout is being blamed. Apparently the platforms and payment processors are banning any and all games that MIGHT run afoul of the guidelines, including some that are pretty tame.

Warner Bros. Discovery is splitting in half (again) and the names of the two halves? Are you sitting down? It's Warner Bros. and Discovery. Just like how HBO Max went to Max and then back to HBO Max, WBD decided they'd be better off as separate entities. So why bother in the first place? Then we talk about Coyote vs. Acme and how they get digs in at the merger. Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

In a week full of news, there are standouts from each of the big three. A job listing includes Sony, multiplatform, and both Xbox and Nintendo? What's this all about, and does it really mean Sony is going to join Microsoft in bringing more of its games to more places? Or is this really just an extension of the live service initiative? Sean and Marc discuss the possibilities and do PlayStation fans need to get ready for the console wars to truly be meaningless? On the Xbox side of things, a major about-face comes as a surprise as the push towards $80 games is no more, at least for the time being, with the announcement that Outerworlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and the rest of Xbox's holiday slate will go back to being $70. Will this spur a big batch of preorders for these games? Or should Microsoft have stuck to the original plan? Nintendo also got a major sales data boon as the Nintendo Switch 2 sold 1.6 million in the United States alone. Mario Kart World also performed super well, and even third-party titles like Deltarune, Cyberpunk 2077, and Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma had standout numbers. Not to mention, the Pokémon Presents had some interesting reveals for what's out now and what's to come in the future. Plus, Sean has spent even more time with Donkey Kong Bananza, Sony sues Tencent over copying the Horizon series, the Elden Ring franchise just keeps making bank, Final Fantasy Tactics is actually a remake for an interesting reason, a Star Wars Outlaws sequel got canceled, and much more!
