One more talkie before the gameplay podcasts resume, I promise! Dan Amrich, Content Editor at Digital Eclipse, was kind enough to come back on the podcast to discuss his journey to where he is today.

This year has been brimming with quality retreads, from brilliant remakes of classic games to remasters of games from just a few years ago, and before we start on our year-end GOTY countdown next week, TL Foster of Welcome to the Thing joins us to talk about five of our favorite remasters and remakes of 2024.

Since its debut in 1993, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has continued to capture generations of kids while leaving a deep and enduring nostalgic love for the colorful heroes. Enter Digital Eclipse's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind - the 90s-era beat-em-up that never was.

In this mini episode of Spawn On Me we talk to Dan Amrich from Digital Eclipse to talk about their new game Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind.

Game Informer's plug was shockingly pulled last week, bringing the last of the major US videogame magazines to an unceremonious end. We'll leave it to others to properly eulogize GI, but we'll mark its passing by inviting Dan Amrich and Dave Rudden (both former editors of GamePro and other mags) to talk about five of our all-time favorite game magazines. Then we'll get into Volgarr the Viking II, World of Goo 2, a new Darksiders, and some things you were introduced to by videogames. Question of the Week: What's the first game magazine you remember reading? Specific issues if possible. Break song is the Nintendo Power commercial jingle. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.

We were thrilled to be joined for this episode by Dan Amrich,  Katrin "B3-4T" Auch and Jude Kelley AKA The Kyberpunks.If you haven't heard their music yet, you are in for a treat. Their flootah music is straight out of a hip unubunko club in Coruscant or a see'ybark lounge on Jakku. There are echoes of many influences in their music but among them is the time that they spent on a little starcruiser that we all know.We chat about the origins of their band, their music, and of course, all about their time on the Halcyon.They were also kind enough to allow us to debut their upcoming new single "Yes Disintegrations" at the end of this episode! We dare you to try to listen along and not bob your head by end of the song.  Watch for the debut live performance of The Kyberpunks at Halcy-Con 2024 on October 4th in Orlando, FL!The Kyberpunks on BandcampThe KyberpunksSupport the Show.Heroes of the Halcyon on InstagramTheme Music ("Digital Discourse") by Yellow BarrelSend your email to heroesofthehalcyon@gmail.com - we'd love to hear from you about your journeys, episode suggestions, or just to say hi!

Holly is joined by Kat Auch, Dan Amrich, and Jude Kelley for a discussion of Star Wars music and immersion, and the cantinacore project the crew has formed to bring those two things together: The Kyber Punks.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher talk to Dan Amrich and Katrin Auch on their recent experience going on the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser experience in Orlando, Florida. We touch on the amazing integration from its original music score to a novel quest-based system with several cast members constantly in character and the delightful food onboard. Also noted is the oft misleading marketing and press surrounding this special deluxe Star Wars fan experience; it's far more than a "Star Wars Hotel". On a related note, Mat complains about Star Trek Cruise VI not having a Star Trek themed escape room onboard the ship and the inconsistent theming (great elevators, no themed food).

This week, we take a look at five of the most sophisticated, fantastically expensive gaming devices ever released - you know, the ones the REALLY rich kid at your school had - with font of knowledge Dan Amrich, who also tells us quite a lot about his involvement with Atari 50, which is out now. Then we'll get into God of War and Sonic Frontiers, highlights from the Nintendo Indie Showcase, and your favorite videogame trilogies of all time.

Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed is out this week and it's great, so we're leaning fully into it (and technically staying on-theme for Spooptober) by inviting Dan Amrich for a chat about the best and most memorable Ghostbusters games of the past 38 years. Then we'll get into Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, A Plague Tale: Requiem, the Silent HIll Transmission revelations, and your thoughts on who should play Mario.

Light-gun games have all but disappeared from relevance, but there was a time when they were everywhere — and in those days, it was possible for some real gems to be overlooked. Dan Amrich joins us for a look back at five light-gun shooters that deserve another, closer look, after which we'll get into Pac-Man live-action movie news, EVO 2022 announcements, Splatoon 3 reveals, and your all-time favorite videogame weapons.

With The Batman hitting streaming this week, our dormant interest in The Caped Crusader has been rekindled, and we've invited Dan Amrich on for a chat about five of the best (non-Arkham) Batman games. Then we'll get into the Ghostbusters VR reveal, Sega's alleged Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio reboots, and the properties you'd like to see folded, inevitably, into the Kingdom Hearts universe.

There's a clock in Cheltenham that hangs above a shopping arcade. Below its face a magnificent golden fish rotates and, on the half hour spews bubbles. It is a singular work from a singular mind: that of Kit Williams. Williams is most famous for the Masquerade puzzle hunt in the 1980s. This is the story of the man, the book and the quest he set in motion. And if you keep listening throughout the podcast, you might find yourself off on a hunt of your own... To start your puzzle hunt go to WishingFishClock.com Contributors to this episode: Paul Slade, Dan Amrich, Mariella Cook, Kelvin Horton, Stuart Ashen, Anneka Rice, Karl Coppack. And the team at Dreamcatcher: Sarah Binney, Michael Kearns, Ben Below and Catalin Ursachi. This is the fourth episode of The Town That Knew Too Much, written, produced and presented by Nick Hilton. The music is by George Jennings, based on The Planets by Gustav Holst. The entire score for the series is available to stream on Spotify. This is the fourth part of a 7-part series available on all good podcast platforms.

There's something about the arcade experience that's just tough to capture at home - especially for games that involve ridiculously bespoke hardware that would be impractical to set up in a living room. This week, we welcome back Dan Amrich for a look at five of our favorite arcade games that just don't translate to a home setting, after which we'll touch on Balan Wonderworld, Immortals Fenyx Rising - Myths of the Eastern Realm, PlayStation Store axing three platforms (sort of), and the OG Xbox games or series you think are due for a comeback.

Something about the sight of crypto-fascist stormtroopers in ominous gasmasks will always stir contempt within the rebellious heart, and on this week's show, we celebrate the return of special guest Dan Amrich with a look at five games that pit you against the forces of a corrupt police state.

This is it, folks - VGA is going on hiatus, and we've cooked up a hell of an episode to tide you over until we come back.

Cap and Brandon are joined by Palette-Swap Ninja, an obscure nerd band that recently made a big splash when they combined two pillars of 20th century pop culture into one unbelievable concept album. Dan Amrich is a game journalist turned Ubisoft community developer and Jude Kelley is a research scientist who repairs old arcade machines. With our collective powers combined, we're unleashing a nerd podcast of an unrepellable magnitude. First up, we take on the listener-requested topic: failed video game consoles. We've all seen our fair share of pie-in-the-sky, crazy flops in the ever-ongoing console wars, but Dan's career in game journalism grants him a special perspective. In the mid-90s at outlets like Flux and GamePro he was witnessing some of the legendary travesties - including the notorious Virtual Boy. We dissect and debate just what makes a "failed" game console and get stories from Dan and Jude's deep game nerd backgrounds, then we dive into the incredible project they've spent the last 5+ years working on: Princess Leia's Stolen Death Star Plans. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Wars and the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' immortal classic, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band - this seamless, record-length parody tells the entire story of A New Hope.

Then it's time for a spirited discussion about Prey, Call of Duty: WWII, Darksiders III, the New Nintendo 2DS XL, and the series whose gameplay you'd mash together if you could.

Troy and Chris needed a little help. Superstar guitarist Phil-X sent out a photo to the masses regarding his recent purchase for Ghostbusters (2016) and it all read a little bit like Greek to them, so they called in the big guns: journalist Dan Amrich joins the Crossrip for this episode to talk video games (Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Puzzle Fighter and more) as well as give his professional analysis of Phil-X's highly-elaborate Instagram message to the fans that may or may not debunk the Crossrip theory that a new Ghostbusters theme song may have already been recorded.

This week I'm joined by Activision's Social Media Manager, Dan Amrich. You might think that this position is only meant for a corporate mouth piece with no personality; after listening to this podcast, I'm sure you will have a different opinion. We discuss Dan's career at Official Xbox Magazine (OXM), GamePro, and something called the "Bobby Phone"; and that's just the first hour. Our discussion "concludes" over the topic of culture. Gaming culture, gamer culture, and the culture of the industry and where it could be this time next year. There's A LOT to get to in this one, but as much as this was a joy to record, it will be a fantastic listen. Enjoy. Run Time - 1:59:01 Send your feedback to feedback@justtalkingpodcast.com

13 days after Black Ops launch... we'll go over the good, the bad and the ugly. With special guest Dan Amrich (@OneOfSwords) and possibly some other COD Community VIP's!

Words: Marker, Broke, WorkingTitle: In Me You TrustSpecial guest, head of Activision's social media initiative Dan Amrich joins us today for an absolute blast of an El Juego! As a young con artist, you've always skirted the law. Upon realizing nobody in your town was all too bright, you begin an enterprising counterfeiting scheme. Initially only hitting smaller local venues, you exponentially grow to an international crime lord, peddling your faux bills. Take over the global monetary system and show off your funny money!

Words: Tea, Enthusiastic, EraseTitle: The Greater GoodUnfortunately due to events that transpired earlier in the week, Dan Amrich was unable to join us, but look for him on again in the future!As a time traveler, you make it your mission to correct the global problems currently facing the planet. By finding the links from past events, you travel to famous periods and locales in history, to put an end to such issues as global warming, genocide, extremism, water shortages, hunger, etc. As you change the past to effect the future, you soon realize that you can't solve them all, and some problems you cause might be worse than the ones you've solved.

Recording Live at PAX East in Boston, Chris is joined by a plethora of special guests including Dan Amrich (OneofSwords), Sam and Scott (Gamerhusbands radio), Cherithe and Stephanie (GamingAngels), Heroic Superman, JVB, Phoenix410 (Post Game Report) and Jay Van Beveren (Promethium Marketing).  Listen to us chat about what we've seen at PAX East, if the convention is a hit or a miss, and what its strengths and needs are.  All this plus Dan Amrich's role at Activision and if there can really be a revolution in future music games.
