Nintendo Switch 2 has everyone talking this week. From the price of the console, to the $80 price tag for Mario Kart World, the news has taken the gaming industry by storm. An ever changing tariff situation in the US threatens to disrupt the launch of the console, as it has already disrupted the planned pre-order date. We take a critical eye to the news and some of the other reporting going on out there, and try to speculate (in the absence of official Nintendo comment no matter what reddit says) on why $80 is the new gaming price tag normal. Will the market accept that? We discuss this and much more in the gaming industry on another week of the longest running weekly video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio! Also in the News: * inZoi Sales Successes * Minecraft Movie Review & Online Leaks * Layoffs at Eidos and Playside * NeoGeo Evercade All this and more on the show where EVERY gamer has a voice-- Orange Lounge Radio!

Husserl desarrolló un método de conocimiento que supera el punto de vista del observador y las interpretaciones para lograr conocer la cosa en sí de manera objetiva.
The history of 80s and 90s game magazines is filled with big names like Computer Gaming World, Weekly Famitsu, Computer and Video Games, Micromania, and, a name that makes German speaking gamers of a particular vintage extremely nostalgic, Power Play. In this second part of our interview, Michael tells us how he left Power Play to join a major German games publisher, founded a hint guide and magazine publisher of his own making guides of Eidos' Tomb Raider series and Nintendo's Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask, before becoming a freelance producer for games around the world. We also discuss the ever changing games landscape, evolving business models and his return to writing about games for the German edition of Retro Gamer magazine and games news website Gamers Global.

Hitman: Blood Money, first released in 2006 by Eidos, is considered by many to be the best Hitman game ever made. After the first few games played around with novel ideas and concepts to mixed success, Blood Money honed in on the formulae of specific, small and dense environments filled with ‘accidental' scripted opportunities to murder your target. Gone are the long and slow walking through the linear levels of Silent Assassin. You no longer have the weird and confusing systems of Codename: 47, where you only sometimes had to think outside the box. What we get here is a more focused experience - 12 playgrounds puzzle murders.But in focusing on these specifics, has Blood Money left behind something meaningful from the previous games? And while it built the groundwork for what the modern games would become, does it execute on it with the same finesse? Has Hitman: Blood Money truly stood the test of time, or does it just play like an awkward middle child?On this episode, we discuss:StoryHitman: Blood Money is ostensibly a more gritty game than the first two - but is this actually the case? Does the gameplay end up pushing the overall tone towards something less serious and slightly more goofy, or does the darker story portrayed in cutscenes keep it grounded?Level DesignHow does the level design of Blood Money craft and guide the overall experience? How does it use visual direction to create a sense of place, and does it compare favourably to the levels earlier in the series?Execution(s)How enjoyable is it to discover and execute the various scripted deaths on every level? Are these fun puzzles to figure out through trial and error, or does this lead to a sense of frustration as you wait around with no idea what to do?We answer these questions and many more on the 118th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherHitman: Blood Money OST - Jesper Kyd Is Hitman: Blood Money truly the best Hitman game?

On this episode of Bullet Time, we take a zero-tolerance approach to crime in Rocksteady Studios' 2006 shooter Urban Chaos: Riot Response. Special guest Sam Webster and returning guest host Tehsnakerer join James to look at the oft-forgotten first game from the developers behind the Batman Arkham series. Is it good satire? Is it a good shooter? Was it the 15th best game published by Eidos that year? Listen to find out answers to all that and more!

In 1993, before they were acquired by Eidos, a little games developer in Derby called Core Design were working on their new action adventure game. It was an Indiana Jones-style 3D platformer; revolutionary for its time, and not just because of the immense 3D world and cleverly designed levels, but the protagonist was a woman.Her name was Lara Croft, and the game was Tomb Raider.In the mid-90s, Lara Croft became a virtual celebrity, and while Eidos demanded more and more Tomb Raider games, the wheels were in motion to give Lara the cinematic outings she deserved.Lara Croft: Tomb Raider had a revolving door of writers, and a special clause in the contract between Eidos and Paramount, which meant production had to start, and start quickly. Director Simon West only wanted Angelina Jolie for the main role, and ended up putting together a two-hour plus first cut. The problem was, Paramount hated it, ended up firing West and getting in one of Hollywood's most famous fixers to save the movie... Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life was the opportunity to fix the mistakes of the previous movie. Angelina Jolie had refused to return unless Lara was more well-rounded, so Lara was given more personality, more character and more stakes. The budget would be smaller, but the director would be a coup - Jan de Bont. This time there was one writer, a lead actress who was happier with the direction of her character, and no issues with editing, however the experience would lead to Jan de Bont retiring from directing...I would love to hear your thoughts on Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) & Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003) !CONTACT....

In this episode, first released on Seth Dellinger's Move with Seth YouTube channel, John Vervaeke, Ken Manheimer, and Seth Dellinger explore the concept of "ecology of practices" through the lens of contact improvisation. They discuss the modern "meaning crisis" caused by societal disconnect and fragmentation, advocating for shared agency and transjective participation to address these issues. Manheimer's experience in contact improvisation reveals its potential for co-creation and mutual discovery, emphasizing the need to extend rationality beyond traditional bounds. This conversation showcases contact improvisation as a vital practice for fostering sacred participation and confronting the meaning crisis. Seth Dellinger is a movement practitioner, embodied dialogue facilitator, and the host of the Move with Seth podcast. He is passionate about cultivating presence, empathy, and meaningful connections through mindful movement and conversation. Ken Manheimer is a long-time practitioner and coordinator of contact improvisation in Washington, D.C. He is also a computer programmer with a deep interest in the intersection of movement, dialogue, and personal growth. Ken is dedicated to fostering community and exploring the transformative potential of shared experiences. Glossary of Terms Ecology of Practices: A framework for understanding the coordinated use of diverse practices to enhance cognitive flexibility and combat self-deception. Contact Improvisation: A dance practice emphasizing physical interaction and mutual responsiveness without predetermined steps or movements.

Dr. John Vervaeke and Gregg Henriques lead an insightful discussion with guests Dr. Rich Blundell and Rita Leduc, diving into the heart of creativity, art, and cognitive science. The conversation explores the profound concepts of cognitive approaches, creativity, the importance of intimacy in art, and the link between ecological health and economic wealth. As the guests share their unique perspectives on life, creativity, and science, they lay out a path for deeper understanding, and encourage exploration beyond the surface. The episode also features a thought-provoking discussion on niche construction, ecological intelligence, and the interconnectivity of nature and culture. Resources: Oika Oika Spain - Fred Adam Incomprehensible Certainty: Metaphysics and Hermeneutics of the Image - Thomas Pfau Quotes: "Extended naturalism is committed to all of that. There's a difference between knowledge and grasping the significance of the knowledge, especially the significance for personal transformation. When one grasps that significance so that one overcomes ways in which one is self-deceptive, disconnected from reality so that one understands reality in a way that transforms one. That's a good account of what wisdom is." - Dr. John Vervaeke “I call it the process of acquaintance. I aspectualize my understanding of that place. I use so many different media and techniques—different muscle memories, different colors, sensory things, let as much in as possible, but also let myself in. This is, in fact, me trying to understand myself at a particular time and place.” - Rite LeDuc “The garden provides a place for the two cultures of the academy—science and humanity—to come together in a mutually inspiring dialectical dance.” - Gregg Henriques Timecodes: [00:00:00] Dr. John Vervaeke introduces the episode and highlights the interconnectivity of the Cognitive Science series and guests. He presents the ongoing Oika framework discussion. [00:02:24] Dr. Blundell starts his summary of the previous discussion by addressing the difference in approaches to using propositional knowledge and creating theoretical frameworks. [00:09:52] Gregg Henriques emphasizes the need to clarify worldviews and values. He speaks about embodying and living these values in social practices. [00:12:20] Rita Leduc talks about stepping out of comfort zones, embracing vulnerability, and building trust. She emphasizes the experiential mode for creatives. [00:19:00] Rita explains her artistic process, describing it as a process of acquaintance where she attempts to understand a place, using different media and techniques to aspectualize her understanding. [00:24:16] Dr. Vervaeke discusses the coherency of different aspects, likening them to melody notes rather than cacophony. [00:28:14] The discussion turns towards the aspectualization of dialogically enhancing understanding of a place. Dr. Rich Blundell shares an anecdote about filming a documentary, highlighting the immersive and transformative nature of the creative process. [00:32:52] Dr. Vervaeke explores mental framing, linking it to art creation. He draws parallels to the Eastern Orthodox tradition of icon carving. [00:34:53] Rita Leduc explains the idea of niche construction in her practice, showcasing her unique artistic philosophy. [00:41:30] Dr. Vervaeke seeks further explanation of niche construction in Rita's art. Dr. Rich Blundell explains how Rita's process of creating art involves letting the world shape her and creating an artifact that becomes part of the world. [00:47:06] Dr. John Vervaeke draws a connection to wisdom and the process of internalizing the world and its spiritual intelligence. Leduc connects her feelings and experiences in the woods to a cosmic story. She describes how this connection affirms her creativity. [00:49:23] Dr. Rich Blundell discusses the concept of Eidos and how it relates to the process of life emerging from non-life. [00:51:55] Gregg Henriques talks about the reawakening of intimacy across various aspects of life. Dr. Vervaeke prompts Henriques to elaborate on the concept of intimacy, emphasizing its recovery in modern society. [00:53:00] Henriques explores the idea of embodiment of intimacy across ontological continuity and how it has been lost in modern socialization. [00:57:00] Dr. Rich Blundell introduces the idea of radical affection and falling back in love with life. [01:00:36] Rita criticizes superficiality in work and encourages deep intimacy. [01:06:02] Dr. Blundell shares various projects, including European collaborations and economic models. He discusses the importance of recoupling economic wealth and ecological health, highlighting how artists can contribute to this through their unique practices. [01:10:44] Discussion about how art is now back in service of the sacred, overturning the modern and postmodern thrust in art, and how the art around the sacred predates agriculture and is probably the precursor to civilization, challenging certain reductionist accounts of human behavior. [01:17:20] - Gregg Henriques underscores the significance of Oika and its connection to art. He reflects on his own journey and the importance of cognitive science and psychology in filling explanatory gaps, and he emphasizes the need to appreciate our natural intelligence as we transition into the artificial world.

Salió a la venta un 19 de junio de 1998. Era un juego de estrategia en la IIGM, con guiños a las películas bélicas de la época, y con una mecánica de juego por especialidades o comandos que a día de hoy sigue siendo excelente y jugable. Aunque todo el juego estaba en inglés y además lo distribuía Eidos, el estudio de desarrollo era español 100%, Pyro Studios. Hablamos del juego español más vendido, Comandos: Behind the Lines, numero 1 en ventas en 30 países el mismo año de lanzamiento de Zelda: Ocarina of Time, StarCraft o Metal Gear Solid… Hoy está entre los 10 mejores juegos de estrategia de la historia… Pero más allá de los datos está lo intangible, el enorme valor e impulso que Commandos dio a la industria española del videojuego abriendo mercado y demostrando que el talento y la ambición no tienen fronteras… Más intangible es que en este programa, y por vez primera en 20 años, vas a poder escuchar juntos a sus máximos responsables: Ignacio Perez Dolset y Gonzo Suárez.
