Not-E3 has concluded. A mad dash through trailers. A dizzying assault of the senses. What stood out? What got lost? Well first, Garrett got a Switch, and we sat down and played a big chunk of Mario Kart World. Sony State of Play, Summer Game Fest and Xbox showcase all tackled in order. Our list might not match yours, but we all walked away with the same conclusions. That's a lot of games! 

Douglas Mawson wasn't just a survivor—he was a scientific powerhouse who helped put Australia on the map of polar exploration. His adventures began with the 1907–1909 Nimrod Expedition under Ernest Shackleton, during which he became one of the first to reach the Magnetic South Pole and climb Mount Erebus. But it was his own Australasian Antarctic Expedition from 1911 to 1914 that sealed his place in history.Mawson's leadership, grit, and heartbreak defined that journey. Stranded alone after the deaths of his companions, he hauled himself across 160 kilometres of ice, surviving crevasses, starvation, and the brutal cold. His story isn't just about endurance—it's about the pursuit of knowledge at the edge of the world.Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the trials, triumphs, and enduring legacy of Douglas Mawson—Australia's Antarctic hero.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

Praises or critics can be send here! Also if there's anything you wish to hear about please send your requests here!The World of Warcraft roadmap is accelerating faster than many players anticipated. An encrypted patch for 11.2.5 has been discovered on test realms, suggesting we're heading toward an expansion announcement potentially as early as August. With our current position in 11.1.5, and 11.1.7 on the immediate horizon, the pace of development indicates Blizzard has big plans for the remainder of 2024.The base UI system remains a focal point of concern as Blizzard appears to be slowly moving away from add-on dependency. While the Dragonflight overhaul was impressive, high-level players still find themselves needing add-ons like WeakAuras, BigDebuffs, and arena-specific tools to track crucial information. The recent cooldown manager addition tracks abilities many don't need while ignoring critical buffs that experienced players want to monitor. If Blizzard truly wants to reduce add-on reliance, they need to allow for more comprehensive customization of the base UI, particularly for PvP and high-end PvE content.Perhaps most frustrating for competitive players is the current state of PvP ratings. Many experienced players have noticed significant MMR deflation compared to previous expansions – achievements like 2700 rating in Shadowlands feel impossible now, despite improved skills. The disparity between Solo Shuffle (which appears to have MMR injection) and traditional Arena formats creates confusion and disappointment. What's missing is clear communication from Blizzard about these systems, something the PvP community desperately wants. While PvE content receives detailed attention and frequent updates, PvP players often feel left in the dark regarding the systems that impact their gameplay experience. As we head toward patch 11.2's "season rewards refresh," transparency will be key to maintaining player engagement in competitive WoW.Hope you all enjoy and hope you relate to any of these stories.

In this special Redfish Film Festival episode of VIE Speaks, host and VIE editor-in-chief Lisa Marie Burwell sits down with documentary filmmaker Carrie Lederer to discuss her recent film, Wild Horses at the Door. As part of the Redfish Film Fest 2025 lineup, this movie brought the heartfelt and harrowing story of John Wayne Smith to the screen. Thank you, Carrie, for sharing this story and being a guest on VIE Speaks! About Wild Horses at the Door Coloradoan John Wayne Smith was homeless for eight years, working through recovery, when he resettled himself off-grid on a high desert mesa where wild horses roamed. A wounded pregnant mare showed up at his door, and John nursed her back to health, later delivering her foal, which he affectionately named Blizzard. The profound bond set into motion an unexpected healing journey into the wonderful world of wild horses. Four years later, we meet John, who coexists with several bands of mustangs that he has come to know intimately in a way few people have experienced. Living with a hundred wild horses and a mule has given him an alternative path versus a system that he felt was not serving him; however, living the life of a rugged individualist alone on a mesa presents its own set of challenges, even for someone named after tough guy John Wayne. John also eventually realizes that the resource scarcity he was familiar with when he was homeless may threaten his beloved mustangs.

This Week: Apple’s ongoing battle with Fortnite isn’t over just yet, and Epic Games is catching heat from SAG-AFTRA over its new AI-powered Darth Vader. Overwatch developers are unionizing at Blizzard, and Hideo Kojima is already thinking beyond the grave when it comes to his next big game idea.

Maude Garrett joins me as my special guest this week!

Doom the Dark Ages is here from iD Software. It's a prequel to Doom 2016 and is much more grounded than the previous entries but just as intense. The visceral action in this game and the technical gameplay is unlike anything else out there. The chain shield, the shotgun, the skullcrusher and more make for an epic game with a gorgeous world.Elder Scrolls Oblivion got a full remaster. Travel back in time to the 2006 RPG from Bethesda and play the game in 4K 60FPS graphics with a lot of new enhancements to the UI, NPC's and more. Austin shares his review of this beloved title.Wildgate is a new game coming later this year from Dreamhaven, former Blizzard devs. We got a chance to play the community preview and it was way better than we expected. We had a blast commanding our ship with our crew, collecting loot in the procedurally generated world. Once we felt good with our loot, we engaged in combat with other ships to win either by eliminating all enemy ships or finding the artifact and existing the Wildgate. We had a good time and can't wait for the full release on this one!In the news, we talk about Nintendo Switch 2's new EULA that seems to say they can brick your console if they find you doing something they deem resulting in piracy or unauthorized modification. Is this justified or too much reach for a corporation for a console you own?Lastly, we talk more on Marathon with new details coming to light about how this could be Bungie's final mistake. Show Notes:1:09 - Housekeeping2:20 - Doom the Dark Ages Review26:47 - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered44:03 - Wildgate Preview: Nonstop Action and Jaw-Dropping Art Design1:10:03 - Nintendo's Switch 2 Warning: Break the Rules, Lose Your Console1:27:53 - Bungie's Final Mistake: Why Marathon Will End It All1:55:54 - Upcoming Video Game Releases Become a part of the conversation!

From Bar to Blizzard Tracing Karen Read's Night of Contradictions In this comprehensive analysis, we delve into the perplexing aspects of the Karen Read case, focusing on the events between April 30 and May 2. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to dissect the timeline, scrutinize the controversial snowplow theory, and examine the inconsistencies in Read's statements about her alcohol consumption. We begin by unraveling the timeline of events, questioning whether Karen Read returned to the scene where Boston police officer John O'Keefe was found dead. What prompted her to go back, and what did she hope to find? Next, we explore the snowplow theory. How did Read come to express concern about O'Keefe being hit by a snowplow? Was this a genuine fear, or does it suggest prior knowledge of his whereabouts? We also address the discrepancies in Read's accounts of her alcohol intake that night. Her varying statements raise questions about her credibility and the potential impact of intoxication on her memory and actions. Throughout the discussion, Agent Coffindaffer provides expert insights into investigative procedures, forensic evidence, and the psychological factors at play. This episode aims to shed light on the complexities of the case and the challenges faced by both the prosecution and defense. Join us as we piece together the puzzle of that fateful night, seeking clarity amidst the conflicting narratives and uncovering the truths hidden beneath the surface. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimeAnalysis #FBIInsights #SnowplowTheory #TimelineInvestigation #AlcoholInconsistencies #CrimeSceneReturn #ForensicDiscussion #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
