Master Marc Zirogiannis breaks down his coverage of the July 31, 2026 PFL MMA event and the merger of PFL and Most Valuable Promotions. UBS Arena played host to an action-packed night of mixed martial arts as PFL New York Presented by Arkham lit up the Big Apple with unforgettable performances and thrilling finishes. The event comes on the heels of yesterday's landmark merger announcement between MVP and the PFL. MVP Co-Founders, Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidaria, joined Chief Executive Officer John Martin cageside for the event which created the new platform under the MVP banner. Several global combat sports stars were in attendance to witness this incredible night of action including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Islam Machachev, Kamaru Usman, Royce Gracie and PFL Interim World Champion Johnny Eblen. In the main event, #C-Usman Nurmagomedov (22-0, 1NC) continued his reign of dominance with a first round TKO of previously-undefeated challenger #3-Archie “King” Colgan (13-1) to retain the PFL Lightweight World Championship. Nurmagomedov put his striking arsenal on full display as he dropped Colgan with a well-placed head kick followed by a left hook. Colgan survived momentarily, but the champ put the challenger away with a pair of brutal uppercuts and ground and pound, all in the opening round. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Summary by Diane:  The violent ward of Arkham Asylum has broken free and they're out for blood...but not the blood of the Gotham authorities. Instead, they're after the people who placed them there: Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether! As the Huntress learns the dark details of Tarr and Fether's sinister operation at Arkham, Police Commissioner O'Hara is being pressured by the citizens of Gotham to take action against the Huntress, following allegations of murder by reporter Nedra Borrower!

Große Eskalation und Auflösung in der zweiten Hälfte von Die Farbe aus dem All von H. P. Lovecraft. Als Nachbar und letzter Freund schaut Ammi bei den Gardners nach dem Rechten. In bester Horrorfilm-Manier findet er die mittlerweile etwas breiige Frau Gardner auf dem dunklen Dachboden, und auch ihr Mann Nahum legt einen Abgang hin, der ihn selbst genauso wie Ammi recht aufgelöst zurücklässt. Mit polizeilicher Verstärkung aus Arkham kehrt Ammi zurück zum Gardner-Hof, ohne jedoch etwas gegen die fremdartige Bedrohung der Farbe ausrichten zu können. Nachdem man die Gardner-Kinder im Brunnen gefunden hat und sich die Farbe nachts weiter ausbreitet, ergreift die Task Force die Flucht und kann gerade noch mitansehen, wie sich die Farbe raketengleich zurück ins Weltall katapultiert. Ist der Spuk nun vorbei? Unser Erzähler ist sich nicht so sicher. Aber deshalb gleich das ganze geplante Trinkwasser-Reservoir absagen? Ach was! Was soll schon passieren? --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir Das Handbuch des Hüters von John Ajvide Lindqvist aus dem Sammelband Shining in the Dark. Wer mitlesen will, kann das Buch direkt beim Buchheim-Verlag bestellen: https://www.buchheim-verlag.de/hans-ake-lilja-shining-in-the-dark-geschichten-von-clive-barker-stephen-king-john-ajvide-lindqvist-brian-keene-jack-ketchumg-ua.html Transparenzhinweis: Auch wir haben ein Buch als Rezensionsexemplar bekommen, werden aber auf keine andere Weise vom Verlag vergütet.

Willkommen in der Villa Kunterbunt – mitten in den Wäldern von Arkham! In H. P. Lovecrafts Die Farbe aus dem All ist unser namenloser Erzähler im Auftrag der Regierung unterwegs, um alle Vorbereitungen für einen großen Staudamm zu treffen, der große Teile der Region unter Wasser setzen wird. Komischerweise findet der alte Ammi, einer der letzten Einwohner der Landstrichs, dass das eine großartige Idee ist. Denn unweit seines Hofs hat sich vor etwa 40 Jahren eine einschlägige Tragödie rund um die Familie Gardner ereignet, der der Landstrich bis heute seinen düsteren Ruf verdankt. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir die zweite Hälfte von H. P. Lovecrafts Die Farbe aus dem All.

Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero? What starts as a debate about subgenres turns into a much bigger conversation — about tone, stakes, and whether the label helps or hurts a character when your hero is literally swinging above the street. Beers of the Week Sam Adams Porch Rocker Lemon Radler (Frank) Stormalong Legendary Dry Hard Cider — Millis, MA (Tim) In this episode Sam Adams Porch Rocker returns — the annual visit, and this year it's slightly less tart (in a good way) Sam Adams's new can design — Sam covering his own letters with a raised mug (or is that Paul Revere? or Thomas Jefferson?)

Take the humour and playfulness of the LEGO games, mix it with the depth and (much of) the gameplay of the Arkham games, all while covering a fascinating mix of The Batman's history - both fictional and aesthetic - and you've got Traveller's Tales' LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight, which we dive into on this episode. Then we're looking at Unstoppable, which is bringing solo and co-op play to the tabletop via Renegade Game Studios. Rulebook aside, this is a surprising and very enjoyable deck builder with lovely interactions, compelling upgrades, and a dopamine-firing power curve. Finally, we're having the time of our lives with The Boroughs, where everything is not as it seems in New Mexico. All that, and keeping it camp, on Ep251. 00:00 - Just Vaseline 07:28 - LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight 25:39 - An invention a bit like penicillin 31:14 - Unstoppable 50:30 - The Boroughs On this episode were Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), and Sam (@MrSamTurner).

Harley Quinn hat Commissioner Gordon tief ins Innere von Arkham Asylum verschleppt, Batman ist ihnen dicht auf den Fersen. Auf seiner Jagd begegnet er der ebenso brillanten wie zwielichtigen Dr. Penny Young, deren Forschung schon bald eine weitaus größere Bedrohung offenbart als den bloßen Gefängnisausbruch.Nachdem Batman Commissioner Gordon aus Harley Quinns Gewalt befreit hat, wartet bereits die nächste Herausforderung: der gewaltige Bane. Im spektakulären Bosskampf zeigt sich, dass an ihm mit der experimentellen Substanz Titan gearbeitet wurde – einer neuen Droge, die Menschen in unaufhaltsame Monster verwandeln kann und deren Folgen weit über Arkham hinausreichen könnten.Zum Abschluss der Episode verlässt Gordon die Insel in Richtung Festland, während Batman erkennt, dass die Nacht noch lange nicht vorbei ist. Um den Ursprung der Titan-Verschwörung aufzudecken, macht er sich auf den Weg zu seiner versteckten Batcave auf Arkham Island.Viel Spaß beim Hören wünscht euer DttD - Team

This week, we're diving into Batman: Assault on Arkham, the 21st entry in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series and a story set within the world of the Batman: Arkham video games. Join us as we discuss the film's stylish animation, action-packed story, and memorable voice cast, including Kevin Conroy as Batman and Neal McDonough as Deadshot. We also explore how the Suicide Squad takes centre stage in this fan-favourite animated adventure.

     This week- two films about dudes justifying their actions as being pushed to extremes by manipulative outside forces.     Odin James, an African-American basketball prodigy, has earned a leadership position on a highly competitive  private school's predominately white and upper-middle class team and the interest of many college recruiters. When Odin shares his team MVP award with Michael, Hugo, the coach's jealous son, devises a plot to take them both down so he can step into the team's spotlight. An updated take on Shakespeare and the second directorial feature from playwright and character actor Time Blake Nelson- O.     Charles Dexter Ward has inherited the grand mansion overlooking the small town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Little does he suspect that is the same place where the town burned his forebearer, the necromancer Joseph Curwen, 110 years earlier. The sixth film in Roger Corman's Poe cycle and the first film adaption of a H.P. Lovecraft story- The Haunted Palace.      All that and Kevin and Dave make the most of their time, ignoring the mysterious disappearances around them. Join us, won't you?   Episode 471- Full Court Haunt

This week we continue with the year of Arkham with the loose tie in animated movie, Assault on Arkham.

There are two Matts on this show! But only for a second, then one Matt turns back into PushingUpRoses. We talk about a ridiculous YouTuber-inspired creationist movie, Improvised Shakespeare, and trying to manifest a meet-cute. But, settle in folks, because the bulk of this episode is a break-down and basically gush-fest about the new(ish) adventure from Postmodern Games, The Dark Rites of Arkham. And now, we're both huge HP Lovecraft fans.

Bungie's total mindshare has collapsed 86% since 2019, Destiny is winding down to a final mission, and Marathon is on life support. Greg Posner and Colan Neese (SVP Gaming, ASI Screen Engine) work through what happens when a studio forgets who its audience actually is, then pivot to Activision's surprise Modern Warfare 4 announcement, Bond's launch curve under the GTA 6 shadow, why Lego Batman is the first Batman content Greg's six-year-old can actually engage with, and predictions for next Tuesday's State of Play.Chapters00:00 Cold open and Player Driven update 02:50 Welcome to Player Driven Live 03:30 Modern Warfare 4 surprise drop and the October 26 release 06:55 Is Modern Warfare 4 part of the Xbox comeback story? 09:00 Why the GTA 6 release window is "black Sharpie" for everyone else 12:00 The "popcorn Call of Duty" vs the grimy core-gamer franchise 16:00 2026 as the year of the AAA comeback: Resident Evil, Forza, Crimson Desert, Wolverine 19:00 2018 Black Ops 4 vs Red Dead 2 — the precedent for this release strategy 20:20 Lego Batman, the Arkham mechanics, and TT Games' ownership purgatory 24:25 "The first thing that's come out of Batman since my son was born in 2019" 26:00 Did Lego overcorrect the formula and alienate younger players? 29:15 Sean Layden callback: bigger games aren't better games 30:00 Bond: how IO Interactive's marketing missed the audience 33:00 Why Bond, Lego, Subnautica 2, and Forza all cannibalized each other in one launch window 35:00 "Making a good game slows the degradation curve" — the Spider-Man 2 pattern 36:55 The Bond launch window that could have been 38:30 The Crimson Desert garden hose tangent 40:30 State of Play predictions: Wolverine, Gears, Fable, and a possible GTA 6 date drop 41:25 Bungie's 86% mindshare collapse since 2019 43:50 "You come out with something called The Final Shape — and then you're like, but not the end?" 46:13 "Unless the plan was let Bungie die" 47:00 Marathon as the cleanest case of a studio forgetting its audience 48:45 Concord, the previous Sony regime, and the half-billion Destiny 3 question 52:30 Bungie's rebellious DNA: from Microsoft to Activision to Sony 56:30 Charlie Olsen, the original Call of Duty SBMM algorithm, and an upcoming Player Driven podcast 58:45 Colan's final word: "I'm not anti-Bungie.

Welcome back to The Inner Gamer, the roundtable podcast dedicated to analyzing the ideas, trends, and time-value decisions shaping modern video games. This week, we are kicking things off by driving straight into the stunning landscape of Japan with our full critique of Forza Horizon 6. While Playground Games has delivered an absolute mechanical and visual masterpiece, we examine the concept of "excellence fatigue". For busy professionals with tight schedules, does the game's relentless dopamine loop and identical progression structure turn a quick driving session into a trend-chasing live-service project that you've already experienced? Next, a special guest jumps onto the roundtable couch to help us navigate the alien oceans of Subnautica 2, freshly launched in Early Access. We look closely at how the development team has pulled off the impossible: adding native 4-player cooperative play to a franchise defined by crushing isolation without losing a single ounce of its trademark psychological tension. We explore the baseline stability of the build, the massive grassroots enthusiasm brewing inside the game's official Discord channels, and how its modular base-building automation and streamlined blueprint systems elegantly respect an adult's limited hobby hours. Finally, we shift our focus to the structural design trends splitting the soul of the modern industry. We audit LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, evaluating the creative friction that occurs when family-friendly plastic brickwork tries to copy the mature DNA of the Arkham franchise. We close the show by breaking down the newest GDC industry data revealing that over 70% of developers now rely on global co-development pipelines. Using case studies like Fable and Crimson Desert, we expose how fracturing a single game across multiple outsourced corporate entities creates the massive logistical bottlenecks behind modern 6-year development cycles and buggy launch-day builds.

Vi avslutar terminen i gratis-feeden med andra och sista delen av Roger Cormans Edgar Allan Poe-adaptioner och filmerna The Raven och The Haunted Palace i ordinarie flödet samt The Masque of the Red Death och The Tomb of Ligeia för alla fantastiska patrons.   Johannes reagerar initialt på den märkliga sten-sminkningen på en vaktmästare på slottet, undrar om någon på sminkavdelningen haft en dålig dag men saker och ting faller snart på plats och Tomas hyllar det tramsiga i The Raven under förevändningen att han tycker sig se de verkliga människorna bakom de annars så pompösa karaktärerna i övriga delar av filmserien. Vi pratar också kort om: Vincent Price, Richard Matheson, Peter Lorre, Jack Nicholson, Boris Karloff, Charles Beaumont, Francis Ford Coppola, H.P Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, Lon Chaney, Messiah of Evil, The Resurrected, Elisha Cook jr, Yog Sothoth, Cthulhu, Necronomicon, Arkham, Shadow over Innsmouth, Debra Paget, Leo Gordon och Freud.

With refined, Arkham-style combat and the most detailed characters to date, it feels like a whole new era for the delightful franchise. We're also back with more Requiem as Leon and Grace's journey continues, namely in Raccoon City's RPD. Motorslice is here as well, with some gripes coming in on the game's third big level. We also delve into the Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition that dropped earlier this year and came with its own set of huge complaints. And in news, the end of Destiny 2 has been announced. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Deze aflevering van Gamekings Daily is ook te bekijken op: https://youtu.be/-g5hRHzo0u8 Welkom bij Gamekings Daily, een gaming vodcast waarin twee presentatoren van Gamekings praten over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van videogames. Vandaag heeft Huey plaatsgenomen aan de desk en behandelt hij samen met JJ een aantal game-gerelateerde onderwerpen. Zo bespreken de heren twee geruchten. Het ene gerucht draait om de mogelijke komst van een 'nieuwe' InFamous-game. De titel staat tussen haakjes, omdat het mogelijk ook kan gaan om een remake? Hoe kijken de twee naar dit gerucht? Zit er een kern van waarheid in? Past het niet goed bij het verhaal dat PlayStation erover denkt om oude IP's uit te lenen aan third party studio's? Het antwoord op deze vraag zie en hoor je in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 18 mei 2026. Kunnen we in de toekomst aan de slag met een nieuwe Infamous? Het tweede gerucht draait om een van Huey's favo superheroes: Batman. Rocksteady zou na de flop die Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League heet, begonnen zijn met de productie van een nieuwe Batman-game? Natuurlijk kijken we of het gerucht enige grond van waarheid in zich draagt. Maar de heren checken ook of er behoefte is aan een nieuwe game in de Batman: Arkham-serie. Er zal namelijk vast een reden zijn geweest om er na 2016 (Arkham Knight) niks meer mee te doen. Welke was dat? En gaat een nieuwe Arkham dus wel of niet gebeuren in de toekomst? Waarom komt Rocksteady niet snel met een nieuwe Batman Arkham game? Andere onderwerpen die in deze editie aan bod komen, zijn de verandering die Microsoft doorvoerde aan de Xbox en het aantal babies dat opeens sterk gestegen is bij de Koreaanse uitgever Krafton. Plus daar is de komst van een van Rockstar's beste games naar PlayStation Plus Premium. Genoeg onderwerpen dus om over te praten in deze video. Timestamps: 00:00:00 De Gamekings Daily van maandag 18 mei 00:01:02 Krafton medewerkers aangemoedigd om te wippen 00:04:49 ‘Xbox’ heet vanaf nu… ‘XBOX’ 00:06:19 Bol begint hype GTA 6 pre-orders met banner op website 00:07:30 Geruchten over mogelijk een nieuwe InFamous titel 00:16:10 Komt Rocksteady Studios weer met een goede Batman game?Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Gamekings óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

Some comics stand the test of time, and deserve your attention to look at them.  This is one of them.  A very legendary Batman Comic that set the story for Arkham Asylum that would end up defining parts about Batman's Legacy. This is the book that defined Arkham Asylum.  This is the book that gives us the history of Amadeus Arkham which the amazing Arkham game used for its story also.  Join us in this Serious house as we discuss this book.

On the last surviving star, a civilization that has mastered time, matter, and life itself faces a slow extinction they cannot stop. When a newly created mind claims victory over the unstoppable force consuming the universe, one decision will determine whether anything at all remains. The Red Brain by Donald Wandrei. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Donald Wandrei makes his debut on the podcast today. Born in 1908 in St. Paul, Minnesota, he built a reputation as a science fiction writer, poet, and editor—and, like many writers of his era, he shared a strong connection with H. P. Lovecraft.As a teenager, Wandrei hitchhiked from Minnesota to Rhode Island to meet Lovecraft in person. That journey led to his involvement in the Lovecraft Circle, alongside writers such as Frank Belknap Long and Clark Ashton Smith.Wandrei also played a crucial role behind the scenes. Without his intervention, The Call of Cthulhu might never have appeared in Weird Tales. He wrote directly to the magazine's publisher, making it clear that if Lovecraft's work wasn't accepted, the author would take his stories elsewhere.In late 1937, after H. P. Lovecraft's death, Donald Wandrei and August Derleth tried to publish a memorial collection of his best weird fiction. When major publishers passed, they created their own company—Arkham House—to release Lovecraft's work in hardcover.The name comes from Lovecraft's fictional city of Arkham, Massachusetts.Donald Wandrei went on to write nearly 100 science fiction short stories, and he was just 16 when he wrote the one you're about to hear—his first to be published, in Weird Tales magazine in October 1927 on page 531, The Red Brain by Donald Wandrei…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Humanity finally reaches Mars expecting discovery, only to stumble into a revelation that quietly rewrites Earth's entire history. What begins as triumph turns into a cosmic joke with unsettling implications no one is prepared to accept. Mimsy's Joke by Millard Grimes.

Our hosts return to the Podcave to review the final episode of Batman: The Animated Series, “Judgment Day.” Alex and Will dive into the debut of The Judge and explore just how much he mirrors The Phantasm. Such as both characters being shadowy, masked figures with chilling voices, who stalk their targets in deeply unsettling ways, and all the while building toward a surprise identity reveal.Along the way, they wonder what happens to Two-Face's apartment while he's locked up in Arkham? Why doesn't The Judge find it suspicious that he knows so much about Two-Face? And how does Batman expect anyone to not notice his wildly over-the-top pirate disguise?The episode also serves as a tribute to Richard Moll, arguably the greatest Two-Face ever put on screen. As a final goodbye, Alex and Will pack the discussion with enough “number two” puns to make your head spin…TWICE!But, DO NOT think that this is the last episode of the Podcast, as our hosts will be continuing their journey through the DCAU and following Batman into Justice League.Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspod ThreadHeads 20% Off: https://www.threadheads.com/BATMANTASPOD87466Outbreaks Issue 4 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-1-4-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-seriesMobster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobsters Join Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUs TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspod Follow the Pod on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow the Pod on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod Follow the Pod on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to Will's Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.patreon.com/willrobson Speech Comics Website⁠ - https://www.speechcomics.com/ Will's WhatNot Page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

I seem to have stumbled upon another “type” of game that I enjoy. The kind of game where you try to break it. Not actually break it but you take its rules and gameplay and find ways to do absurd things with it. It's the nature of the game itself and could easily be called “ways to crash your PC”. There was Ball X Pit and CloverPit, Vampire Survivors and Mega Bonk, and now I'm doing the same with Raccoin. I'll probably stream some gameplay here not long after this has been posted. I'm always surprised by what can hold my attention. More and more it's games that let you play for about 30 minutes or so before you've done what you needed or wanted to do and then it's your choice to continue or to stop. It always makes me wonder if my tastes are changing but then I look at what's coming out that's exciting to me and realize that no, my tastes are just as they've always been. I say that because I saw a new video of the Lego Batman game due next month and I'm just as excited for it as I would be any other game in the Arkham series. In other news, Matt's still alive and finally getting around to Cyberpunk. And finally getting around to joining us for his first episode of the year. In other bad news, more layoffs and more price increases. In no news whatsoever, we're still waiting on Splinter Cell. Ubisoft, it's been 4,626 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 3,248 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

Markets are sending mixed signals with geopolitics, inflation, and positioning all pointing in different directions, raising concerns about whether this rally is real or just a temporary squeeze before the next leg down. This week, we break down how the proposed ceasefire and AI acceleration are colliding with market structure in a battle of fundamentals vs flows. We explore AI-led productivity boom, Trump's political dilemma, Fed policy uncertainty, gold's resurgence, and whether dispersion, not direction, is the real trade. Enjoy!

Felix and Quinn sit down with Joseph Wang live at DAS New York to unpack today's chaotic macro landscape, focusing on how energy markets and central bank constraints are increasingly intertwined.

It's always refreshing to switch gears and dive into something fully co‑op, where the tension comes from the puzzle instead of the players. And no, your ears aren't deceiving you—Marty actually convinced Vanessa to join him for a discussion about Arkham. Who knows… maybe this is the start of her becoming an investigator convert. Corps of Discovery invites players to retrace the legendary Lewis and Clark expedition, but with a sharper strategic edge than you might expect from a historical adventure. You're managing a small but determined team as you push westward, balancing resource scarcity, shifting terrain, and the constant pressure of the unknown. The game thrives on its tension: every decision feels like a trade‑off between speed and sustainability, and the modular map keeps each journey fresh. It's a thoughtful blend of exploration and logistics, capturing both the wonder and the hardship of charting unmapped territory. Arkham Horror: The Card Game, by contrast, plunges you into a very different kind of expedition—one into cosmic dread and psychological unraveling. Its living‑card‑game structure turns every campaign into a branching narrative where your deck evolves alongside your investigator's triumphs, traumas, and terrible choices. Scenarios twist the rules, warp the environment, and force you to improvise under pressure, making each session feel like a bespoke horror story. Where Corps of Discovery celebrates discovery and perseverance, Arkham Horror LCG revels in uncertainty and creeping doom, offering a deeply immersive experience that rewards clever deckbuilding and narrative investment.
