Jocelyn has come to bargain in exchange for Ryan playing Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, which oddly leads to Jocelyn possibly watching all of the Knuckles series for Extra Life? Anyways, Jocelyn keeps up her end by playing Doki Doki Literature Club and Slay the Princess. Ryan continues to delay Laser Eyes with a 20 year old book by Chris Kohler titled Power-Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life and his continuing adventures in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

It's The State of Gaming Podcast, Popzara's in-depth look at what's shaking up the gaming landscape delivered on a monthly basis. Our hosts Cory Galliher and Nate Evans guide you through the best, worst, and everything else making headlines and headway in the world of interactive entertainment. The biggest games of the month include: Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, Chants of Sennaar, Lies of P, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Payday 3, and Disgaea 7. On the software charts Madden NFL 24 touchdowns in first, Namco Bandai's Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon debuts high in second, Gearbox Publishing's Remnant II stays strong in third, and Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stays solid in sixth. Further down show the PlayStation 5 effect as Sony's God of War: Ragnarok turns in sixteenth, Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVI is right behind in seventeenth, Gran Turismo 7 returns in eighteenth, and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales in nineteenth. But there's more! Did you know Elon Musk was such a hardcore gamer? Read Walter Issacson's Musk book and you will! It's probably best to avoid the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 for now, possibly forever. Immortals of Aveum developer Ascendant Studios laid off nearly half their staff. Netflix is into gaming! But not as much as they're into gaming anime! Castlevania: Nocturne is here, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (starring Hayley Atwell) is coming soon! So is Devil May Cry! Your pricey new iPhone 15 Pro will play the Resident Evil 4 Remake – and it'll probably get super hot doing it! Want to learn the history of Karateka and the future of interactive documentaries? Listen to our chat with games historian Chris Kohler (when you're done listening to this episode, naturally).
Game designer and creator of Karateka Jordan Mechner, joined by Chris Kohler of Digital Eclipse, shares a new interactive documentary The Making of Karateka exploring this 1984 karate classic title. In this episode: Jordan's earliest work, perfect paper preservationist, Prince of Persia source code, hitting it rich in video games vs. going to class, celebrating old games, an inspiration train, a father's love of his son, the lost leopard: found, and bringing a game back to life.

Our guest on this episode of the Popzara Podcast is a veteran of the gaming industry who knows a few things about remembering (and collecting) classic games, Digital Eclipse's editorial director Chris Kohler, whose career as a journalist, historian, presenter, and, naturally, an actual game player, make him uniquely qualified to talk about The Making of Karateka, the first title in his company's planned Gold Master Series of “interactive documentaries”. Last year's Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration signaled a momentous change in what a collection of older games could be: using the medium to let players experience and interact with both the games and their history. The Making of Karateka narrows this focus to a single title, telling the story how a teenaged Jordan Mechner (Prince of Persia), inspired by his love of Bruce Lee and martial arts films, would innovate game design by applying cinematic elements and a greater emphasis on story with 1984's Karateka on the Apple II computer. There was more to the story, of course. Our own amateur archivist Nathan Evans and Chris deep dive into the creation of Digital Eclipse's groundbreaking series, the “gamification” of gaming history, how the relationship between Jordan and his father Francis Mechner may be the real story behind Karateka's success, and how Nintendo's year of unparalleled successes in 2023 may be the catalyst for others to start taking the preservation of gaming history more seriously.
Digital Eclipse's legendary Chris Kohler joins us this week to talk about his upcoming The Making of Karateka interactive documentary, which delves into Jordan Mechner's groundbreaking classic of cinematic videogame storytelling like never before. It's also got a really annoying bird in it, so we'll also chat about five of the most frustrating bird enemies in videogame history, after which we'll get into Remnant II, Pikmin 4, and your favorite Xbox Live gaming memories.
This week, Jason is joined by Digital Eclipse editorial director Chris Kohler to talk about The Making of Karateka, the upcoming interactive documentary which chronicles the development of a classic game from the mid-80s.

This week, Trent is joined by one of the most trusted voices in finance, Chris Kohler.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is finally here, meaning we now have the chance to officially play over a dozen TMNT games from the eight and 16-bit era—most of which never saw a re-release! But how did this compilation come together, and what are the specific quirks of the many, many turtle-based games it contains? On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Digital Eclipse's Chris Kohler for an inside look at how the ooze is made. This episode is sponsored by Konami, who provided us with pre-release copies of TMNT: The Cowabunga collection. Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation. To support the show, and get two full-length exclusive episodes every month, as well as access to 50+ previous bonus episodes, please visit the official Retronauts Patreon at patreon.com/retronauts.

The first season of Game Informer's Video Gameography explores the history of the Metroid series. This week we're tackling Samus' acclaimed Game Boy Advance outing, Metroid Fusion. Metroid Fusion launched on November 17, 2002 – the same day as Metroid Prime. Developed by Nintendo R&D1, it stars Samus as she explores a space station overrun by shapeshifting parasites called X. Worst of all, Samus is hunted by an X parasite that has mimicked her appearance and abilities: the SA-X. Metroid Fusion served as a return to the 2D gameplay of Super Metroid with modern improvements such as faster movement and traversal and a ledge grab. Fusion was critically acclaimed as one of the best GBA games ever made; some fans even consider it a rival to Super Metroid as the best entry in the series. Chronologically, Fusion served as the final chapter in the Metroid saga for decades until 2021's Metroid Dread. Join hosts Ben Reeves (@BenjaminReeves), Marcus Stewart (@MarcusStewart7), and special guest Digital Eclipse editorial director Chris Kohler (@kobunheat) as we explore Metroid Fusion's lore, development history, and lasting impact. If you'd like to get in touch with the Video Gameography podcast, you can email us at podcast@gameinformer.com. You can also join our official Game Informer Discord server by linking your Discord account to your Twitch account and subscribing to the Game Informer Twitch channel.

A SMALL DESCRIPTION OF EPISODES PULLED FROM: (Ep. 200) Post show. We EXCLUSIVELY reveal the big tim rogers review you've all been waiting for: new formula of Coke Zero Sugar. Jaffe calls the Guggenheim museum “The Gug.” I bleep something out by request. (Ep. 201) Pre-show. Jaffe negotiates a “One Day Early?” line read from Special Guest Kris Graft. Frank tries so hard not to use Amazon. Jaffe negotiates Evil Offsetting Calculus. Everyone has a riff on the idea of what a Fonzie Scheme is. (Ep. 201) Post-show. Special Guest Kris Graft gives a breakdown of his grilling technique, including tofu. Brandon explains the thing with meat. Buy 'Em Beat ‘Em Trade ‘Em At McVan's. The panel explores the idea of games as a commodity vs. appreciating them after time. Frank explains why he's a PC gamer and how he got a top of the line video card at retail price.
