Podcasts about Car Wars

Before Fury Road, before Furiosa, there was Max. Mad Max. The Road Warrior. Join Paul and Javi, and - without a doubt - Producer Brad as they board the last of the V8 interceptors and brave the dangerous domain of the Lord Humongous of the wastelands.  That's right, this week it's George Miller's seminal masterpiece “The Road Warrior” (or “Mad Max 2” for those of you not in the United States in 1982) - the film that damn near invented the post-apocalyptic car wars genre. It's leather, shoulder pads, and gasoline galore at the multiplex this week… and you better watch out for that razor-sharp boomerang!

As the competition between the US and China over electric vehicles ramps up, the pressure has mounted on the EU to agree its own approach to the issue of Chinese EVs. While there are widespread concerns about the impact of Chinese EV imports and calls for the EU to protect its auto industry, others argue that the availability of affordable Chinese EVs and “green tech” more generally can help accelerate Europe's own transition. This critical policy debate is taking place against a backdrop of concern about the global impact of Chinese industrial over-capacity. Why is the EU concerned and is it right to be? How might the EV issue affect broader EU-China trade relations and what are its implications for EU-US trade relations? Lastly, what does the EV case teach us about how the EU should balance decarbonisation and industrial policy?

Scott found his father's 1st Editon Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide at age 8 in 1983, and his path was set. He moved on from D&D to Car Wars, Gamma World, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Starfinder, both playing and game mastering, untill settling on Mörk Borg and its ilk during the pandemic. Now he is finding out the ups and downs of crowdfunding and self-publishing as he attempts to bring his own post-apocalyptic vision into the world with Wasteland Degenerates! We talked about bugs, about game design, about post-apocalypse fiction and games. We chatted about how our boring normal lives intervene in our work, and how it somehow helps shape it.

Steve Jackson and his company Steve Jackson Games have been at the heart of the tabletop industry since its earliest days. At Metagaming Concepts Jackson pioneered the micro-game, an efficient multiplayer gaming experience like OGRE that fit in a small polythene bag. After founding his own company Jackson went on to develop classics like Car Wars, Illuminati, and GURPS - the Generic Universal Roleplaying System that could be used to simulate RPG games in any setting or style. With games like Munchkin SJ Games has remained a relevant force in the gaming market place to this day.Steve Jackson even cross the Atlantic to work with Steve Jackson (and Ian Livingstone) to pen a few Fighting Fantasy game books.We talk about a prestigious career in the table top industry, how he got started, some of his finest works, and where things go next.Steve Jackson in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.Steve's Links:[Steve Jackson Games]https://www.sjgames.com/Jordan's Links: PATREON:https://www.patreon.com/jordansorceryDOWNLOAD MY FANTASY BATTLE SCENARIO DEAD KING WENCESLAS:https://jordansorcery.itch.io/dead-king-wenceslasELEMENT GAMES AFFILIATE LINK:https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216KO-FI:https://ko-fi.com/jordansorceryINSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/jordansorcery/ BLUESKY:https://bsky.app/profile/jordansorcery.bsky.social WEBSITE:https://jordansorcery.com/DISCORD:My Discord is now open to exclusively to Patreon supporters & by invitation only

Guys and their cars. There's no competition like it on earth. 

A resident left their neighbor a 95-word rant, angry for the latter's "selfish" parking on the road outside of their house. What do you think about that? Have you ever seen people fight over their cars being parked in front of houses.

The episode starts with a nice mail segment that gets us discussing creating variations on standard fantasy RPG settings and face the dilemma of what to do with horses stirred to commotion by a pursing owl bear! The feature of the month is the first Dragonlance module, DL1: Dragons of Despair. We find this module has a lot more to offer than our memories suggested. A couple tweaks at the beginning and end and Volia! -This adventure is ready to shoe into any game world you want to throw it into... Next episode we're heading to off to vintage Car Wars territory!  Catch you then!

This week, we deep dive two games that couldn't be more different: the miniature game Car Wars and the Polish tabletop game Crystalicum. Both have been requested multiple times by our listeners, and we decided to combine both requests into one episode.

In this episode of Good Cities, it's time to get mad at cars...again. Cars were promised to be freedom on wheels, but most people experience driving as forced upon them; monotonous, traffic-ridden, and expensive. Jacob Hyman and Nathan Bird discuss how cars have made us slow, anxious, and separated from each other. Our cities once were bustling downtowns, and now they're a series of parking lots and crisscrossed highways. Also in this episode: what to do to remedy the impact of the car on cities and how to oppose the car for a better city. Welcome to Car Wars 2. Check out our magazine!

It's time to get mad about cars. In this episode of Good Cities, Nathan Bird and Jacob Hyman discuss how cars have reshaped the city. How did cars become necessary for life? How did the American government implement a car-centered society? How has the rise of suburbia impacted our cities? Welcome to Car Wars (...part 1)!

¡Qué decepción! El que es uno de los coches más populares de la historia, el que para el Tercer Reich iba a ser el coche de pueblo, el modelo que es un verdadero referente, el modelo diseñado por el genial Ferdinand Porsche… resulta que es una copia. En este modelo, Ferdinand Porsche no inventó nada. Y Hitler tuvo mucho que ver. ¿No os lo creéis? No lo digo yo… lo reconoce la propia VW… ¡Cuánto me ha costado hacer este guion! He investigado muchas horas, en ratos libres, en fines de semana, curioseado en libros, revistas, páginas Web y documentales, con la ayuda de Rodrigo, que pasa horas buscando imágenes e información… Contaremos como Ferdinand Porsche no inventó nada de su famoso Escarabajo, sino que copió un diseño del periodista y diseñador judío Joseff Ganz al que la Alemania nazi y post nazi le hizo la vida imposible y que también copió de la marca checa Tatra, de los T77 y T97, un diseño brillante de los ingenieros Ledwinka y Jaray. Ganz, el gran olvidado. En 1933, es decir, 5 años antes de que Adolf Hitler anunciase el proyecto de su “coche para el pueblo”, su Volkswagen, el ingeniero alemán Josef Ganz ya había diseñado y construido el Standard Superior Type I. Antes había realizado otros brillantes diseños de coche asequibles y modernos. Según Ganz los coches alemanes de la época eran “anticuados e inseguros”, incluso hizo un detallado estudio de accidentes para llegar a la conclusión que era verdaderas “cajas” por su forma, de “muertos” por su peligrosidad. ¿Qué tiene de particular este coche? Bueno, visto por fuera una cosa salta a la vista: Su diseño es muy parecido al de un VW más “antiguo”. Pero es que en su interior su chasis separado, su motor trasero y sus suspensiones oscilantes, con del mismo tipo o muy parecido a las que utilizó el VW Escarabajo de supuesto diseño Porsche. ¿Cuál era el mayor problema de Ganz? Un problema muy grave y muy serio en la Alemania Nazi: Era judío. Joseff Ganz, que no era nada tonto, había patentado muchas de las soluciones de su Standard e incluso Ferdinand Porsche llamó la atención de este “pequeño detalle” al propio Hitler, según nos cuenta el historiador holandés Paul Schilperoord, verdadero experto en el tema y que ha tenido acceso a mucha y detallada documentación original por avatares de la historia largos de contar. ¿Cómo solucionó este anuncia la Alemania Nazi? Sencillo: Retiraron la nacionalidad a Joseff Ganz que, al no ser alemán, que para el III Reich era lo mismo que no existir, no podría registrar patentes… problema resuelto. ¿Os parece una solución radical? Te adelanto que, en este historia, hay otras peores. Josef Ganz fue desprovisto de su nacionalidad alemana y perseguido por el régimen. Huyó a Suiza, donde quiso hacer el “coche del pueblo suizo”, pero el comienzo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial echo por tierra el proyecto. Al acabar la guerra fueron los ingleses los que pusieron en marcha la fábrica de VW y fue un enorme éxito. Pero VW y el gobierno alemán no reconocieron el mérito de Ganz. El entonces presidente de la compañía Nordhoff envió una carta para ofrecer a Ganz, en esos momentos retirado y solo en Australia, un trabajo y o una pequeña pensión. Parece ser que la pensión nunca la cobró y murió antes de poder regresar a Alemania. Pero en el museo de VW, en una sala llamada “Rémy Markowitsch” se hace referencia a los modelos “inspiradores” del VW, entre los que aparecen el Standard Superior de Ganz y los Tatra T77 y T97. Y vamos con la segunda historia. Adolf Hitler en uno de sus encendidos discursos, habla de que Alemania va a motorizar a todos los alemanes con su “Coche del Pueblo” su Volkswagen, que inicialmente se llamaba KDF-Wagen, o sea, Kraft durch Freude, que traducido seria “Fuerza a través de la alegría”. Hitler, para este proyecto, escoge a su ingeniero de confianza que era Ferdinand Porsche, que llevaba tiempo trabajando en un coche que el propio Porsche definía como “el coche para todos” … al menos en el planteamiento, estaban de acuerdo. Pero Hitler quería el coche ya… y ya es ya. Solo dos años después se presentaba el primero prototipo del Escarabajo, conocido como Tipo 60. A partir de este prototipo el Escarabajo lo fabrica… Mercedes-Benz. Sí, el Mercedes 130. ¿Cómo pudo Ferdinand Porsche ser tan rápido? ¿Copiando a Ganz? Sí, pero no solo a Ganz… Porque pocos meses después de la presentación del VW, el que luego acabaría llamándose Volkswagen Escarabajo o Beetle, entre otros muchos nombres, los ingenieros Ledwinka y Jaray demandan a Volkswagen y a Ferdinand Porsche por plagiar el diseño de su Tatra T97. No andaban desencaminados, porque el motor del Tatra era… un 4 cilindros Bóxer… Por si la estética, el motor y las parecidas o idénticas soluciones técnicas no bastasen en el libro “Car Wars” Adolf Hitler dice que “el Tatra es el tipo de coche que quiero en mis carreteras”. Esta demanda preocupaba mucho a Ferdinand Porsche, seguramente más por prestigio que por otra cosa, y se pone en contacto con Adolf Hitler quien le tranquiliza diciendo que “solucionaría a su modo la cuestión Tatra-Volkswagen”. ¿Y cuál era ese modo? Muy sencillo, ese mismo año Alemania invade Checoslovaquia y reconvierte la factoría de Tatra en una fábrica de armamento militar. Confisca y destruye unos 500 Tatra modelo T97 para que este tema pasase al olvido… pero no pasa. ¿Por qué? Porque al finalizar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Tatra retoma las acciones legales contra Volkswagen y Ferdinand Porsche. ¿VW era culpable o inocente? No se sabe, porque no hubo juicio: Se llegó a un acuerdo extrajudicial por el cual VW indemniza a Tatra con tres millones de marcos alemanes. Para mí una forma de reconocer que eran culpables… pero no la única. Porque en los primeros episodios legales que enfrentaron a Tatra con el propio Ferdinand Porsche este dijo una frase para la historia, donde reconocería “haber observado de vez en cuando sobre el hombro de Ledwinka”. Blanco y en botella, ¡leche! No hace falta que os diga que con Adolf Hitler no había medias tintas: O estabas con él o estabas contra él. Muchas marcas de coches alemanas, en general toda la industria, apoyo al nacismo… pero la pregunta es, ¿les quedaba otra opción? Por eso quería revindicar a Ferdinand Porsche, genial ingeniero que con solo 23 años diseño el considerado por casi todos, el primer híbrido de la historia, el Lohner-Porsche Mixte Hybrid. Hizo multitud de diseños muy innovadores, tan largo de contar que merece otro vídeo… Coche del día. ¡Me encanta Tatra! Y me encanta el Tatra T97 que creo que se merece un lugar en lo historia que nunca ha conseguido. Realmente viendo este coche junto con el Escarabajo, resulta evidente su parecido…

Car Wars—Yet Another Threat From Beijing

Who has the most fuckable car? Which one of us is colorblind as shit? And how is John's internet connection? We zoom through these questions and more as we watch Season 5, Episode 9 of Family Matters.Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:Website: jumpingtheshuttle.spaceEmail: jumpingtheshuttle@gmail.comInstagram: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Twitter: @JumpingShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577TikTok: @JumpingTheShuttle / @dak577Brought to you by Smooth My Balls

Erica and Sen chat with Shing Yin Khor, game designer, installation artist, illustrator, award-winning cartoonist, and Bunyan-ologist. Shing Yin is the designer of the game A Mending, in which players literally sew their actions into cloth, and co-designer (with Jeeyon Shim) of the game Field Guide to Memory. Shing Yin calls both games "keepsake games," as they both leave artifacts of play that tell the story of the game experience. SHOW NOTES 4m15s: Gasha/gacha machine  7m05s: We chatted with Jeeyon on Ludology 244 - Games Brought to Life. 10m04s: The Oraclebird 12m17s: Gnomes, a Dutch book written by Wil Huygen and illustrated by Rien Poortvliet. 16m21s: In games, diegesis refers to anything that fits within the narrative world. If a video game wants characters to move right on the screen, they can do it diegetically by showing objects being blown to the right, or non-diegetically by flashing an arrow on the screen pointing to the right. Examples of board games that use diegesis well are Inhuman Conditions and Ca$h 'n Guns. 17m05s: Space Gnome Space 19m05s: Paul Bunyan 25m17s: We discussed audience agency with Haley E.R. Cooper and Cameron Cooper of Strange Bird Immersive in Ludology 214 - Escape from Reality.

There's a new book out: "Car Wars Down Under". The subtitle is “The untold story of Australia's first land speed record”, written by Murray Hubbard. I wondered if it was a story for the mechanically minded, car enthusiast: A lone back yard mechanic with an inventive approach involving carburettors and camshafts. As it turns out it is a rollicking yarn involving hardcore business, invective marketing, ambition, a high-risk approach to communication, the occasional rouge character, and intense competition. Set around the time of the first world war which alone produced some unexpected situations. Like a good biography is not just a list of the fine details of one person's life. It's about the life and the times of people and an event. This should not surprise those who know Murray, who is a motoring journalist but, among other things, was a three-time finalist for investigative reporting in the Walkley Awards. And he wrote the manuscript for the multi-award-winning “The Day of the Roses”, a Channel 10 miniseries and telemovie. • Why a picture in front of a pyramid is significant (1:25) • Many characters had a start in the bicycle industry – how di this help? (3:17) • The limitations of the Ford Model T (5:49) • Doctors and others benefited from the development of cars (7:20) • Alec Fraser Jewel – a character and a rogue (9:11) • The first world war brought animosity to the Germans but also the Americans! (11:10) • Why one major player started a car magazine which could have become cheap advertising favouring his product but ended up being a great ambassador for improving conditions for vehicles (16:46) • Car events and the Hamilton Hill Climb • Fred Eager – Heir apparent to a big business but also becoming their top driver and why the opposition had to establish a race for the land speed record (32:47) • The vehicles – great speeds across the sand where aerodynamics may have made the difference (37:12) • A few other characters – Professor Starlight and Peter Jackson (45:37)

Ty, Justin, and Jesse are all back at it. Ty is the referee, Justin loves the GTO, and Jesse loves the Mustang. But is Ty the referee or did he just get shamed into embarrassment because he voiced his opinion that he likes the boxy GM trucks of the 70's and 80's. One thing they can all agree on is that each of these Armchair Globetrotters owned and drove one of these trucks at one time in their lives. After that, the war rages on between Justin and Jesse about the GTO and the Mustang. Jesse had to leave before the ending, so Justin and Ty further discuss the ending of the Covid Pandemic, and what life will look like going forward. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/armchairglobetrotters/support
