Along with a series of guests, season 5 of Video Gameography will be an exploration and examination of 2K's Bioshock franchise.

We discuss director Ken Levine's inspirations of Rapture and its inhabitants like the industrial mastermind Andrew Ryan, the Big Daddies, Little Sisters, and much more.

It was a HUGE week for comic books! We highlight the standout titles that you should be reading each month, and argue about a few things – one of which is Fortnite. In June, Epic Games is teaming up with Marvel to release a new comic book series called Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War. In each issue of this limited series, readers receive a Fortnite code for an unlockable in-game item. We think these codes may generate skins for a few beloved characters like Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Iron Man. I think this is an amazing thing, but my co-host, Phil, has mixed feelings on Fortnite in general. We also offer up advice as to how to keep track of the comics in your collection, as well as how to protect them. As always, the show concludes with a look ahead to the books that release next week.

Before the internet was in every house and on every phone, video game players had few options when they got stuck in a game. While many opted to buy a strategy guide or ask a friend for help, Nintendo gave players the option to seek the assistance of professionals through the Nintendo Power Hotline.

What is money? It seems like such a simple question, doesn't it? But, like anything, when you drill down to its inner skeleton, it becomes far more interesting. After all, currency is one of the most fundamental cornerstones of our being and yet how many of us could describe how it exists, how it evolved or even comprehend why the financial model is actually far easier to disrupt than we think?In today's episode of the podcast, Nicolas Cary co-founder and Vice Chairman of Blockchain.com answers these questions and more. We even have a question from one of crypto's leading thinkers – Balaji Srivinvasan so stay tuned to the end of the episode for that.Nicolas Cary is a serial entrepreneur and lifelong technologist. He co-founded Blockchain.com here in the UK with co-founders Peter Smith and Ben Reeves, as well as Sky's the Limit which he is also chairman of – Sky's the Limit connects business mentors with majority-underrepresented first-time founders.Before we get started, I wanted to share three interesting and most likely surprising facts about Blockchain.comFirstly, the company celebrated its tenth birthday this month (which is October 2021) so it was very much one of the earlier companies in this space. Secondly, the company just reached $1 trillion in crypto transactions. Yes, you heard that right –$1 TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH of transactions.Thirdly, this U.K.-based privately-held company just announced its year to date revenue which has surpassed $1.5 billion. Yup, 1.5 BILLION. It's kind of unfathomable isn't it?Needless to say, this is a fascinating interview with someone at the forefront of this technology and a huge advocate for empowering everyone through digital disruption.Finally, for those who don't know, Blockchain.com is the world's leading digital assets platform – it builds software that makes using digital assets safe, easy, and secure for consumers and enterprises and has three category-leading products include block explorer which is the most widely used search engine for verifying transactions and accessing data about the Bitcoin blockchain. And has web and mobile wallets which have more users than the rest of the ecosystem combined. Finally, its API is considered by many as the bedrock of the industry - powering exchanges, merchant processors, ATMs and beyond. It's both a fun and truly informative conversation which I hope you enjoy.----------This is the Danielle Newnham podcast where I interview tech founders and innovators to learn the inspiring, human, stories behind the game-changing tech we use every day.----------Nicolas on Twitter @niccaryBlockchain.com / SkysTheLimit.OrgDanielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham  and on Instagram @daniellenewnham---------This episode was hosted by me - Danielle Newnham, a recovering founder, author and writer who has been interviewing tech founders and innovators for ten years - and produced by Jolin Cheng. Let us know what you think of this episode and please rate, review and share - it means the world to me and helps others to find it too.

Most gaming podcasts these days do the same thing: round up the news and talk about the big releases of the week. There is nothing wrong with that, but our love of games isn't tied to a release schedule. Whether you're a hardcore fan or a casual player who only has time for a select number of games a year, the reason you fell in love with this medium is that you loved one game first. We want to put the focus back on some of our favorite franchises, explore how they changed over the years, and examine why they left a mark on the industry. Video Gameography is a serialized podcast. Each season we'll explore a new franchise and why it's essential. In every episode, we'll examine one game in that series (starting with the first entry), talk about its lore, production history, and the impact it left on those who played it. There is no shortage of great industry franchises we hope to cover: God of War, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Doom, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, etc. However, our first season zooms in on Nintendo's iconic Metroid franchise. Did you know that Samus' iconic big shoulder design was a result of the limitations of the Game Boy? Or that she was originally named after the legendary Football/Soccer legend Pele? Or that Metroid Fusion is the only game in the series that can be completed with an item collection percentage of zero? Join hosts Ben Reeves, Marcus Stewart, and a collection of rotating guests as we examine your favorite gaming franchises. New episodes drop every Saturday, starting on October 16. It's going to be a wild ride. For more Game Informer podcasts, be sure to check out the GI Show, which covers weekly news and all the details on the big game releases, and All Things Nintendo with host Brian Shea which deep dives into Nintendo's library of games every week.

Welcome to one of the biggest GI Shows of the entire year! Nefarious ne'er do well Alex Stadnik has captured Ben Reeves and taken over as host for the week and is bringing the hype! First up, we introduce you to new hire John Carson to discuss his love of games and how he made his way to Game Informer. From there Liana Ruppert and Jay Guisao lose their collective minds over the explosive Battlefield 2042 reveal and discuss their hands-on time with DICE's bombastic shooter. But the hype doesn't die there. Ben Reeves escapes Stadnik's grasp long enough to chat about all things Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart with the EIC himself Andrew Reiner. And stop me if you've heard this before, but we end this week's show with another amazing round of community emails and GI's Ultimate Character Rankings! Thanks for listening!

Good afternoon lacrosse fans! I hope you're doing well and thank you for reading the Utah Lax Report. We are now on Instagram! Go follow us there if IG is your thing. Interview w/ Danny LarkinMy interview on the podcast this week is with Danny Larkin. Danny and his twin brother Ricky, played high school lacrosse at Olympus before playing at DeSales (NCAA D-III) in Pennsylvania. The twins then came back to join Westminster en route to a MCLA D-II title in 2008. Danny spoke about his time at these three schools as well as Wasatch LC and more. You can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or listen above. I'll also point out that Wasatch LC is starting a girls team this fall. Tryouts for both the boys and girls teams will be on August 15 & 22. More info can be found here.Lacrosse in Utah News/NotesA couple locals got national attention this week. At the Adrenaline Black Card event, Berkley Horoba (Alta) made the 2023/2024 all-star team while Bodi Sutherland (Corner Canyon) made the 2021/2022 all-star team. Trae Ika (Corner Canyon) and Blake Franckowiak (Corner Canyon) played for West Coast Starz at the Adrenaline Platinum Cup. True Utah went 1-2 at the Adrenaline Platinum Cup in Delaware over the weekend. Jon King (Corner Canyon) and Thomas Vandenberg (Park City) played at the Crab Feast with the Mad Dog 22' National Team.Dylan Bauer (Park City) was awarded the Jeremy Huber 19 Award. Huber unexpectedly passed away in 2015 while a player at Johns Hopkins. Huber was from Las Vegas and was a standout player. In other local action, Tribal West successfully hosted the Salt City Classic last weekend with several teams participating. The Ski Town Shootout begins this weekend. Find out more info here.PLL UpdateIt was a big week for the league as it finished up pool play. Here's how things shook out:Whipsnakes 4-0, +24Chrome 3-1, + 5Archers 3-1, -2Redwoods 2-2, -3Waterdogs 1-3, -3Atlas 1-3, -10Chaos 0-4, -11The Whipsnakes are maybe the least talked about team but obviously the best. Their closest game was their first, a 13-9 win over Redwoods. They dismantled Archers yesterday in the second half en route to a 17-11 win. They didn't dominate last year en route to their championship, so what is the difference this year? There are a couple: 1) Zed Williams and 2) the bubble format. Zed Williams - Last year, Rambo led the team with 49 points while Mike Chanenchuk had 34, Ryan Drenner had 21 followed by Ben Reeves with 16. Basically, Rambo had to carry the team (which he did, winning the MVP). This year is different. In 12 games last season, Rambo averaged 4.08 points per game with the next highest being Chanenchuk with 2.83. While Rambo is averaging more points per game this year (5.25, including a 10 point game over the Archers) Williams is helping to carry the load with 4.25 points per game. John Haus in the midfield is also helping Chanenchuk who both have 10 points. Simply put, there is more point sharing with the Whipsnakes which makes them even scarier. The big question for the offseason is do you break up the Maryland pro team? What would be the justification? The Bubble - Also known as PLL Island, being isolated and playing a short schedule plays into hot teams. Lacrosse games are known to have scoring runs, but so do seasons. Over the course of a normal season where you are traveling all across the country, your team is bound to have better weeks than others. In the bubble, the hot team will reign and that hot team is the Whipsnakes. As good as the Archers are (and as good as we want them to be) they entered the final game with an OT win over Chrome, a two goal win over Waterdogs and a one goal win over Atlas. So the Whipsnakes enter the bubble with the MVP, the gold badge on their jersey and became the hottest team, including the hottest goalie (Bernlohr) and face-off specialist (Nardella). Dethroning the champs will be difficult. Grant Ament has been a standout (if you listened to the podcast with Adam Ghitleman, you would know this already) but this clip is awesome! US Lacrosse Magazine broke down the group play round. Play resumes on Tuesday with Chrome taking on Chaos (3:30 pm, NBC Sports Gold), Redwoods v. Waterdogs (6:00 pm, NBC Sports Gold) and Atlas v. Archers (8:30 pm, NBC Sports Network). These literally popped up when I was about to press send. Please watch. The PLL coverage has done wonders for the state of Utah and lacrosse. Some words of advise from Dom Starsia. There was also an update from World Lacrosse regarding the Iroquois playing in the 2020 World Games.That's it for this week. Don't forget to stay hydrated and wear a mask. It's working!— Tim Haslam This is a public episode.
