Welcome to episode 16 of This Week in the Metaverse, our weekly show in which Yon and a guest co-host provide commentary on three metaverse-related news items. Joining Yon today as guest co-host is Mario Stefanidis, Vice President of Research at Roundhill Investments, a thematic ETF sponsor who's behind the Metaverse ETF alongside Ball Metaverse Research Partners. Mario is responsible for Roundhill's research activities within the digital media and entertainment sector and serving on the firm's investment committee, helping oversee Roundhill's investment activities across all sponsored ETFs and other vehicles. Our three topics for the past week: First, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, was interviewed by Dean Takahashi from VentureBeat (who was a guest on our podcast a few months ago). What really captured our attention is Huang's bullishness on the industrial metaverse and the prospect of Nvidia's Omniverse to play a key role in realizing that vision. Then, we talk about the changes at Snap who's shutting down Snap Originals, an in-house production studio of scripted and documentary-style programming and double down on its core priorities, including augmented reality. And we finish with more news from Meta Platforms, as Meta's VP of Horizon is leaving the company, adding more uncertainty on where its metaverse project is heading.

The metaverse is emerging from interactive entertainment, most notably the gaming sector, and there's no better authority on everything happening in gaming than VentureBeat and GamesBeat's Dean Takahashi. We discussed a range of topics about all things gaming and the metaverse including the evolution of gaming in the metaverse era, how that compare and contrasts with Meta Platforms' view of the metaverse, the impact of gaming consolidation and the role crypto may play in all of this.

Lars og Jon Cato skroter hele episoden de hadde klar og spiller heller inn på nytt for å snakke masse om tirsdagens sjokknyhet: Microsoft kjøper Activision Blizzard for 604 milliarder kroner. Hva betyr dette for spillere og industrien når det plutselig er Xbox som kan ha svært mange av de aller største spillene helt for seg selv? Verdens største enkeltinvestering i spillverdenen kommer til å endre landskapet, men vi er ikke sikre på at dette kun er for det bedre. Microsoft har ikke alltid vært en forkjemper for mangfold, og monopol var lenge ensbetydende med softwarkjempen som hadde enorm makt gjennom sitt operativsystem Windows. Er det ikke lenger Sony som er hovedmotstanderen for Xbox? Og hva i all verden betyr det at oppkjøpet av spill som Overwatch, World of Warcraft og mange flere skal danne "grunnlaget for selskapets metaverse"? Vi ser også på en nostradamus i spillverdenen, Dean Takahashi, som spådde at oppkjøp som dette ville skje. Vi tar også en titt på GTA-eierne Rockstars "mini"-oppkjøp av Zynga og hva betyr det egentlig at Player Unknowns Battlegrounds går free to play? Dette og masse mer går under lupen i ukens brennaktuelle episode av den eneste podkasten i Norge som bare snakker om spillnyheter.

Do you ever wonder how to keep reporters interested and engaged during a briefing? On today's episode of ConnectThe2, co-hosts Millie and Rich speak with editors, analysts, and journalists about the importance of capturing and holding a reporters' attention during an interview. Connect2's approach… At Connect2 Communications, Millie and Rich encourage their clients to be the best storytellers they can be and to put these storytelling skills to use when interviewing with reporters. Throughout the years, Millie and Rich have asked their fair share of reporters, “What makes an interview stand out to you?” and on today's episode, they reveal their favorite answers. Stick around for an inside scoop on how to pique a reporter's interest. Clint Boulton's take on the importance of narrative... Clint Boulton, Senior Writer at CIO.com, explains how a narrative can make or break an interview. If the interviewee (i.e. CIO, CTO, etc.) tells a compelling narrative in an interview or briefing, it will immediately capture an editor's attention. Tara Seals dives into her biggest pet peeves… Tara Seals, Editor at Threatpost, describes her annoyance with vendor specific messaging. Tara uses the example of tech companies that are often so “hellbent” on selling their product, they completely ignore the actual story that reporters and editors are interested in writing. Eric Savitz speaks on compelling stories... Eric Savitz, Editor for Barrons, illustrates what a compelling story can do to spark a reporter's interest. Eric explains how most interviews are repetitive and lack a key message. He reveals that the best way to leave an impression in an interview is to add an engaging storytelling element. Julie Kunstler raves about two-way conversations… Julie Kunstler, Analyst with Omdia, reveals her main frustration with briefings: ignoring the analyst. Julie explains how important it is to converse with the analyst you are briefing. Both parties can benefit from getting a well-rounded view of the issue or story at hand. Dean Takahashi shares a memorable interview… Dean Takahashi, journalist for Venturebeat, shares a memorable interview with his old professor about the ethics of video games. Dean explains that an interview where there is back and forth between both parties keeps the journalist interested and creates a story the writer is excited to tell. Quotes • “Part of marketing and publicizing your company's products and ultimately receiving earned media coverage, involves conducting interviews or briefings with reporters.” (0:18-0:28 | Millie) • “And this goes all the way back to anthropology. We, as humans, relate to stories more than anything else in terms of a communication perspective.” (02:29-02:40 | Clint Boulton) • “My biggest pet peeve is when people insist on being vendor-specific when you are actually trying to talk to them about general trends and you just want general insight to things.” (04:18-04:27 | Tara Seals) • “You are just looking for some element to latch on to that gets through the clutter.” (07:12-07:17 | Eric Savitz) • “Rather than focusing on the technology, I try to understand how they are defining the problem.” (08:50-08:55 | Julie Kunstler) • “The reason why I wish they would ask me what I think or how I look at it is I think they could get more out of the briefing and the conversation. It becomes more interactive, which leads to deeper involvement.” (09:52- 10:07 | Julie Kunstler) Learn more about Connect2 Communications: Website: https://www.connect2comm.com/ Podcast home page: https://www.connect2comm.com/podcast Twitter handle: @Connect2_Comm Instagram handle: @connect2_comm LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/connect2-communications Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Connect2-Communications

Tim Sweeney, le patron d’Epic Games, connu pour son célèbre jeu vidéo Fortnite, s'est attaqué en justice à Apple pour abus de position dominante. Le procès a débuté lundi 3 mai à Oakland en Californie.   Le jeu vidéo Fortnite est au centre du conflit entre Epic Games et Apple, accusé de prélever des commissions trop élevées sur les transactions des jeux sur l’App Store. Un fonctionnement que Tim Sweeney a voulu contourner, ce qui lui a valu d’être exclu d’Apple. Dans une interview vidéo donnée au journal américain le New York Times, il s'en explique : « On est arrivé à la conclusion que l’offre d’Apple était non seulement une mauvaise affaire, mais qu’en plus il monopolisait la distribution des jeux sur l’App Store et donc le coût pour les utilisateurs. Il torpille le principe fondamental d’une économie équilibrée: la concurrence. Apple doit changer de politique. » assure-t-il. Démonter une tondeuse à gazon À 51 ans ce fin stratège en affaires, possède une fortune évaluée entre 7 et 9,5 milliards dollars. Il est pourtant parti de rien. Yohan Bensemhoun, journaliste pour Jeuxvidéos.com, raconte : « Il a grandi dans les années 1970. Son père était dans la communication militaire. Il était au sein d’une fratrie de trois garçons et il s’intéressait au bricolage et à l’électronique. Il y a par exemple cette anecdote selon laquelle il aurait démonté une tondeuse à gazon très jeune pour savoir comment elle fonctionnait. Et il s’est passionné très vite pour l’informatique et les jeux vidéo, car il y voyait à peu près le même schéma : le fait qu’un jeu vidéo c’est ni plus ni moins qu’un assemblement de mécanismes qu’on peut démonter et remonter à loisir. Il a passé plus de 10 000 heures entre 11 et 15 ans à bosser sa programmation pour faire des jeux, pour créer des programmes. Puis il a commencé à en vendre et c’est là que l’aventure vidéo ludique a vraiment commencé. » Tim Sweeney fait ensuite des études d’ingénieur à l’Université de Maryland. Mais ce sont les ordinateurs qui le fascinent. Il crée Epic Games en 1991, commercialise son premier jeu ZZT, puis le moteur graphique Unreal Engine utilisé aussi dans l’industrie automobile. En 2017, il met à jour son jeu Fortnite, créé en 2011 qui explose les compteurs avec 350 millions de gamers. Selon Yohan Bensemhoun, « Fortnite a une force exceptionnelle, c’est que c’est un jeu gratuit, mais qui fonctionne sur des petits paiements que vous allez pouvoir faire à travers vos sessions de jeux. Cela veut dire que vous allez acheter un nouveau revêtement pour vos armes, une nouvelle tenue, une nouvelle danse pour saluer vos amis ou pour humilier vos ennemis une fois que vous les avez mis à terre. » Changer les règles de l'économie numérique Tim Sweeney continue sur sa lancée et fonde Epic Games Stores, sa propre plateforme de distribution de contenus en ligne, et consolide sa notoriété aux États-Unis. Dean Takahashi est spécialiste des jeux vidéo à San Francisco. Il explique : « Les gens le respectent parce qu’il dit ce qu’il pense. On le considère aussi comme un véritable expert en technologie qui rendu ses jeux accessibles d’une façon tout à fait nouvelle. Il a permis aux gamers de jouer ensemble sur différentes plateformes. Un joueur sur une console Sony, peut jouer à Fortnite avec un de ses amis qui est lui sur Nintendo. Ils peuvent être rejoint par un autre sur Xbox, que ce soit à partir d’un PC ou d’un appareil mobile. Il a aussi une vision. Il veut que le concept de "Metaverse" devienne réalité. C’est une sorte de monde virtuel où l’on peut jouer, travailler, vivre, interagir sous forme d’avatar, comme on se connecte sur Internet. C’est du domaine de la science-fiction depuis longtemps, mais j’ai été surpris de l’entendre en parler comme si c’était une réalité possible dans un avenir proche. », témoigne Dean Takahashi. Tim Sweeney, un héros pour les développeurs, ne va pas s’enrichir avec ce procès contre Apple, conclut Dean Takahashi. Il ne demande pas de dommages et intérêts. Il veut juste changer les règles de l’économie numérique.  ► À écouter aussi : le procès d'Epic Games contre Apple, «C'est surtout une question de gros sous»

In this episode I get to talk to Oliver Kern of Target Gamers. We talk about user acquisition in general, but also about how to adjust your user acquisition in games during this Covid-19 period and after the virus. Can and will consumer, read gamers, still be able to spend as much as before. How can you predict LTV, lifetime value? What can we expect today and later this year from other metrixs like retention, cost per install, CPM/advertising for your game and in your game. I belief this is extra interesting for indie game developers, who might struggle with the current situation, but also gaming companies in general. Hope you like this and please send this also to other people in gaming. Other episodes with Oscar Clark, Dean Takahashi, Doki Tops and others can be found on PodcastGameConsultant.com.

When you’ve been a journalist on the XR technology beat for 20 years, like VentureBeat’s lead writer Dean Takahashi has, you develop a hunch or two about the direction the industry might go. Alan picks Dean’s brain for a few such scoops. Alan: Thank you for joining the XR for Business Podcast with your host, Alan Smithson, today’s guest is the one and only Dean Takahashi, the lead writer for VentureBeat. He’s been a tech journalist for more than 28 years, and he’s covered games for a twenty one of those years. He’s authored two books: Opening the XBox, and The XBox 360 Uncloaked. He organizes the annual GamesBeat and GamesBeat Summit conferences. To learn more, you can visit games beat dot com or venture beat dot com. Dean, welcome to the show, my friend. Dean: Thank you. And thank you for having me. Alan: It’s my absolute pleasure. We had the distinct opportunity to meet at AWE this year for a very short amount of time. I think we rode the escalator down? But I’ve been a big fan of yours for a long time. I read the articles that you write, and they’re very insightful. They’re very factual. I’m just very honored to have you on the show. So, thank you very much. Dean: Thank you. Nice, and happy to hear. Alan: How did you start… first of all, I guess you’ve been in the games world for a long time. How did you kind of pivot over to VentureBeat, and what is VentureBeat? Let’s let’s unpack what VentureBeat is, for people that may or may not know? Dean: Yeah, I was sort of a traditional newspaper and magazine journalist for a long time, and then, when the web came along and people started podcasting and blogging, I looked around and felt like it was less of a risk to go try something new than it was to stay at a newspaper. I was at the San Jose newspaper at the time. So about 11 years ago, I joined VentureBeat, and it had been started two years earlier by Matt Marshall, who was a venture capital writer for the Mercury News and an early blogger as well. And so, we were a tech news blog and competed at the time with likes of GIGO, and TechCrunch. They have been either… gone away, or they they’ve been acquired by larger companies. So we’re still one of the last, larger independent tech blogs. And then within that, when I joined about eleven years ago, we started GamesBeat as well, as sort of a subsection that focused on games. At the very beginning, we were sort of a startup and venture capital site. But now we pretty much cover the gamut of tech news and game news. And then, our particular vertical focuses are artificial intelligence on the tech side, and then the whole game sector. And then, I guess as far as getting into VR and AR, I’ve really followed the news. I remember seeing the Oculus guys — Palmer Luckey and Nate Mitchell and Brendan (Iribe) over at one of their CES tables in the early years, well before they were acquired. I think I even tried to get an interview with John Carmack, like, the day after he did a demo at E3. The next day, he was gone. So I was on the hunt kind of early. Never quite the absolute first person to dive into VR. Alan: But very close. You’ve seen it from pre-DK1 days — where [it was] probably a cobbled-together a collection of flat screens, wires, and duct tape — and what it is today, where you have real consumer-grade virtual reality that’s not even connected to computers. You’ve seen a lot over the years. You’ve written countless articles on virtual and augmented reality. Is there anything that you may have written about before that you couldn’t have predicted, that has happened already? Dea

It's not cheating if it's anime. At least, those are the rules on the GamesBeat Decides podcast. On this week's episode, reviews editor Mike Minotti and PC gaming editor Jeffrey Grubb are talk more about Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Meanwhile, GamesBeat lead writer Dean Takahashi shows up to talk about Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Steel Division 2. In the news, the crew talks about mass shootings and how video games do and don't relate to gun violence in the United States. This touches on Walmart, Apex Legends on ESPN, Trump, and more. Elsewhere in the news, the industry has a plan to self-regulate lootboxes, and Death Stranding is probably coming to the Epic Games Store, right? Probably. That just seems like something that is going to happen. Here's everything we talked about this week: WHAT WE’VE BEEN PLAYING Jeff: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Rashlander Mike: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Dean: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Steel Division 2 Modern Warfare --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gamesbeat-decides/support

We wear horn-rimmed glasses with a heavy duty lens, button down shirts and a pocket full of pens. That’s right the Nerds are back again with another episode that some may say is entertaining, a few might go so far as to describe it as educational, but it is Nerd operated and focused. This week we don’t have a fabulous show for you all, sorry, no it is in fact AWESOME!!! We have some absolutely mind blowing news that is as revolutionary as going from an 8 bit operating system to a 32 bit IBM back in the 70’s. First up Buck has news about the English finally realising that the areas around solar farms etc can actually be used as green space and help provide habitat for the endangered wildlife. We don’t mean the DJ after he gets a bit of static electricity from scuffing his feet in the wool carpet either. No, we mean birds and the like that some grotty people have destroyed the homes of. This sparks the discussion of how can we implement similar measures to improve society. Have you heard about the bladeless wind turbines? We have and even have a link, they are so cool and even more environmentally friendly. Next up is the Professor with child soldier. Oops, sorry, that is supposed to read Call of Duty Modern Warfare (the latest of the latest of the most recent up to date Modern Warfare – we think). Yep, if you are still wondering why the put in the Airport chapter in the other Modern warfare (don’t ask or we will look at you like a dog when you do something silly) we have something equally confronting, pointless and kind strange even. No not DJ either for those smarty pants who were going to say it. Nope, they have child soldiers in the latest instalment of, oh you get the drift. Well apparently some people are upset about it, surprise surprise surprise, you just put on the Robin Williams voice for that didn’t you. Well we talk about this and Mobile Suit Gundam, how do these topics link? Listen in, and find out. The next topic is about the Zoids franchise delivering a new manga series for us all to enjoy. That’s right folks, a new series to further expand your library, your mind, and lighten your wallet. We are still light on the details but hopefully it is going to maintain that high level of fun, entertainment and action that we all love. Now, for the Marvel fans we apologise (Buck says no we don’t); but, Batman is getting a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. That’s right, the caped crusader is being recognised and celebrated. The first Super hero to be so recognised, and it is DC first once again. This is part of our usual line up of shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and special events. We hope you enjoy, take care of yourselves and look out for each other, remember to stay hydrated, catch you all next Bat time, on the same Bat channel.EPISODE NOTES:Solar Farms - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/07/solar-farms-to-create-natural-habitats-for-threatened-british-speciesCall of Duty modern warfare’s child soldier - https://www.greenmangaming.com/newsroom/2019/06/21/call-of-duty-modern-warfares-child-soldier-level-raises-eyebrows/Zoids franchise gets a new manga - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-06-23/zoids-franchise-gets-new-manga-in-august/.148187Games currently playingProfessor– My Friend Pedro - https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/my-friend-pedro-switch/Buck– Assassin’s Creed 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/33230/Assassins_Creed_2_Deluxe_Edition/DJ– Mortal Kombat 11 - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/mortal-kombat-11-ps4/Other topics discussed2016 South Australia Blackouts- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_South_Australian_blackoutBladeless wind turbinesPhoto- https://www.technologyreview.com/i/images/bladeless.turbinex392.jpg?sw=280Vortex Bladeless Turbine - https://vortexbladeless.com/Protest at South Brisbane- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-27/brisbane-protestors-lock-themselves-together/11251358?WT.ac=localnews_brisbaneGerman nuclear power plants shutting down- https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-135922087 Years later, Fukushima is still leaking radioactive waste- https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/03/29/national/seven-years-radioactive-water-fukushima-plant-still-flowing-ocean-study-finds/Chernobyl (2019 HBO miniseries)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_(miniseries)Off with the Fairies (That’s not Canon Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/offwiththefairiesFamous Assassinations- Georgi Markov: Death by Ricin via umbrella - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Markov- Alexander Litvinenko: Death by radioactive polonium-210 poisoning - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko- Other famous assassinations - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/06/poisoned-umbrellas-and-polonium-russian-linked-uk-deathsNo Russian (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mission)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_RussianSpec Ops: The Line’s new feature- https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-09-spec-ops-the-line-lets-you-shoot-unarmed-civilians-angry-mobsSongs of a War Boy by Deng Adut- https://www.amazon.com.au/Songs-War-Boy-bestselling-biography-ebook/dp/B01HDL3LI6Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (Mecha anime series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam:_Iron-Blooded_OrphansFirst impressions of 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by Dean Takahashi- https://venturebeat.com/2019/05/30/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-impressions-taking-war-in-a-frightening-direction/Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 no single campaign- https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/18/17366980/call-of-duty-black-ops-4-no-single-player-campaignEA calls loot boxes “surprise mechanics”- https://www.pcgamer.com/au/ea-calls-loot-boxes-surprise-mechanics-and-compares-them-to-kinder-eggs/Zoids (Franchise)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZoidsZoids anime series in chronological order- Zoids: Chaotic Century (1999 anime series) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoids:_Chaotic_Century- Zoids: New Century (2001 anime series) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoids:_New_CenturyInternet Chat ProgramsIRC (Internet Chat Relay) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_ChatICQ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICQDial up internet- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_accessNapster (file sharing program)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NapsterChris Hemsworth gets a Hollywood star- https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/21/chris-hemsworth-scores-himself-a-star-on-the-hollywood-walk-of-fame-10023662/R.I.P Bryan Marshall (1938 – 2019)- Bio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Marshall- Captain Talbot (007 character played by Bryan Marshall) - https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Commander_TalbotCriminal penguins narrated by David Attenborough- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M--8devfaaAShoutouts21 Jun 2019 - BATMAN Finally Gets a Star on HOLLYWOOD Walk of Fame - https://www.newsarama.com/45714-batman-finally-gets-a-star-on-hollywood-walk-of-fame.html24 Jun 2019 – 30 Years since Australia First Connected To The Internet - https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2019/06/30-years-since-australia-first-connected-to-the-internet-weve-come-a-long-way/25 Jun 2019 – 10 years since Michael Jackson died - https://news.yahoo.com/looking-back-michael-jacksons-legacy-195632565.htmlRemembrances25 Jun 1997 - Jacques Cousteau was a French naval officer, explorer, conservationist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water. He co-developed the Aqua-lung, pioneered marine conservation and was a member of the Académie française. Cousteau described his underwater world research in a series of books, perhaps the most successful being his first book, The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure, published in 1953.

Dubbed the "King of Pop", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest entertainers. Jackson's contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. Michael made his professional debut in 1964 with his elder brothers Jackie,Tito,Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5. He began his solo career in 1971 while at Motown Records, and in the early 1980s, became a dominant figure in popular music. His music videos, including those for "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller" from his 1982 album Thriller. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized complicated dance techniques such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His sound and style have influenced artists of various genres. He died of homicide at 50 in Los Angeles, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson25 Jun 2011 - Annie Easley was a female African-American computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist. She worked for the Lewis Research Center (now Glenn Research Center) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). She was a leading member of the team which developed software for the Centaur rocket stage, and was one of the first African-Americans to work as a computer scientist at NASA. She died of natural causes in Cleveland, Ohio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_EasleyFamous Birthdays25 Jun 1903 - George Orwell, was an English novelist and essayist, journalist and critic, whose work is characterised by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. As a writer, Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism; and is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In 2008, The Times ranked George Orwell second among "The 50 greatest British writers, since 1945". Orwell's work remains influential in popular culture and in political culture, and the adjective "Orwellian" — describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices — is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", and "Hate week", "Room 101", the "memory hole", and "Newspeak", "doublethink" and "proles", "unperson" and "thoughtcrime". He was born in Motihari,Bengal Presidency which is present-day East Champaran, Bihar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell25 Jun 1928 – Peyo, Belgian cartoonist, best-known for his comic strips The Smurfs and Johan and Peewit, in which the Smurfs first appeared. In 1960, Peyo founded a studio to accommodate his assistants such as François Walthéry, Gos, and Marc Wasterlain and created the series Steven Strong and Jacky and Célestin. Peyo's output diminished in the 1970s, at first due to the time he invested in the film The Smurfs and the Magic Flute (1976); in the 1980s, he put in more time, despite recurring health problems, into an American adaptation of The Smurfs as an animated television series. He was born in Brussels - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyo25 Jun 1864 - Walther Hermann Nernst, German chemist known for his work in thermodynamics, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and solid state physics. His formulation of the Nernst heat theorem helped pave the way for thethird law of thermodynamics, for which he won the 1920 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He is also known for developing the Nernst equation in 1887.

[Correction: We called Venturebeats video of Cuphead from Dean Takahashi a review it was actually his gameplay video from Gamescom. They had to rely on his gameplay because no one else was available to attend for the recording.] Have trouble upgrading in Mass Effect? Stuck in the Cuphead tutorial for over 10 minutes? Tough aiming in Doom? Can't tell the difference between FIFA and the Football Manager series? Alien: Isolation too hard to play through while on hard mode? If "yes" to these then you might have a chance to being a reviewer! We joke and jab about the silliest reviewers that journalists have brought us. We give the full scoop on the NeoGaf drama and where things are going from there. The Pixel8bit is crew is delivering in this one!

Cette semaine, c'est ambiance cour de récré lorsque la presse se dispute pour savoir qui c'est qui est le plus fort aux jeux vidéo. Cuphead, sorti cette semaine, avait mis à rude épreuve la communauté journalistique jeux vidéo lors de la Gamescom en Allemagne, en Août dernier. Dean Takahashi, du site Venture Beat, a publié la vidéo de ses déboires, sous le regard moqueur des joueurs. Il a ainsi provoqué la colère d'un certain nombre de passionnés qui estiment qu'il est nécessaire d'avoir un certain niveau de compétence en jeux vidéo pour pouvoir en parler. Faut-il savoir jouer parfaitement pour pouvoir donner son avis sur un jeu? Faut-il finir un jeu pour faire un test? L'avis des joueurs moins "doués" n'a-t-il pas sa valeur? Est-ce que le premier boss de Bloodborne était vraiment trop dur? La maniabilité de Cuphead ne serait-elle pas à chier? Est-ce bien raisonnable de jouer à Doom à la manette? Ben et Aza vont au fond du problème...

Diving into a world of shadow play and adventure, Projection is game in which you control light to enable new platforms of discover, exploration and puzzle solving all whilst experiencing and controlling historically rooted shadow puppetry. Michael Chu of Sydney’s Shadowplay Studios joined us to discuss his upcoming game, being selected for the PAX Australia Indie Showcase, and rebuilding from scratch. Yosha Noesjirwan previously on the show put together the phenomenal art in this game, but wasn't able to join us this week.   We also covered a much talked about topic this week and took a look at our own gaming skills as journalists. The l33t skill of journalists was called into question this month when a video was released of GamesBeat’s lead writer Dean Takahashi fumbling his way through the yet to be released Cuphead. We ask, should game journalists be good at video games? Should anyone be good at video games? What is good? What are games?   SPONSORS: Combine your love of making media, whether its let's plays or your own games with a world class education with a degree from Murdoch University School of Arts.

The collection of gamers that compose YouTube and Reddit have turned their suspicious gaze upon GamesBeat, and we swear we didn't mean to offend. On this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, hosts Dean Takahashi, Jeffrey Grubb, and Mike Minotti humble themselves before this great and terrible force. Together, we are holding hands and begging for one last chance to "git gud." We awoke this ancient legion of frustrated gamers with a 26-minute demo of Dean playing the upcoming Xbox One and PC platformer Cuphead. In the video, Dean struggles with the tutorial and fails to pass the first stage. To paraphrase one YouTube comments, it's like watching an artificial intelligence slowly figure out how to run and jump at the same time. It's difficult to watch, and that made us at GamesBeat laugh. Dean is no professional esports athlete, and he's a good sport about being made into the butt of a joke. So we uploaded the video. But many viewers didn't see the humor. Instead, a lot of people are using this video as evidence that people like Dean don't have the basic skills required to adequately assess games. And that is our big topic in the first segment of the podcast this week. In addition to our Dean drama, we also dive into the news and some of the games we've spent some time with. Games discussed include: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Absolver Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Metroid: Samus Returns Knack 2 Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play Music, or Stitcher Listen on Cast GB Decides on Facebook Watch live on Twitch Watch on YouTube Subscribe to the RSS Follow us: GamesBeat on Twitter GamesBeat Decides on Twitter JeffGrubb on Twitter Mike Minotti on Twitter Stephanie Chan on Twitter Jason Wilson on Twitter Anthony Agnello on Twitter --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gamesbeat-decides/support

The GamesBeat crew has lost its mind. We have gone repeatedly into the belly of the Electronic Entertainment Expo beast, and the trade show has revealed the beast in us. Now, we need to talk about video games at E3. On today's episode of GamesBeat Decides, the entire team gets together to discuss the best game they saw today. Hosts include Jeffrey Grubb, Mike Minotti, Stephanie Chan, Dean Takahashi, and Jason Wilson, and they each pick one game that they played on the penultimate day of E3. Highlights include Super Mario Odyssey and A Way Out.  We also spend some time yelling at Dean, making Jeff weep, and discussing how this show was a bummer for the public that paid to attend. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gamesbeat-decides/support
