Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 3, 2025 is: alchemy • AL-kuh-mee • noun Alchemy refers to a power or process that changes or transforms something in a mysterious or impressive way. // They practiced their alchemy in the kitchen, turning a pile of vegetables and legumes into an extravagant meal. // The shopkeepers hoped for some sort of economic alchemy that would improve business. See the entry > Examples: “Forty years ago, the Nintendo Entertainment System hit North American shores, singlehandedly resurrecting the video-game market after its infamous post-Atari crash in 1983. To do so, it needed a heavy hitter, a killer must-have title that could put butts in seats and lock audiences into the tube TV until their eyes bleed. That game was Super Mario Bros.—a product so potent, its exact alchemy has never been re-created.” — Christopher Cruz, Rolling Stone, 18 Oct. 2025 Did you know? Alchemy—the medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy that focused on the attempt to change less valuable metals into gold, to find a universal cure for disease, and to discover a means of prolonging life indefinitely—was practiced in much of the ancient world, from China and India to Greece. Alchemy as practiced in ancient Egypt was later revived in 12th-century Europe through translations of Arabic texts into Latin, which led to the development of pharmacology and to the rise of modern chemistry. The word alchemy was first used in English in the 1400s, and by the mid-1500s it had developed figurative senses relating to powers and processes that can change or transform things in mysterious or impressive ways.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we try something a little different. Unattached to any particular game, we chat with Ed Fries, a long-time video game developer most well-known for his work  shepherding the early days of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios. We talk about five games of his early years that particularly affected him. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary.

Mark Cerny is an American programmer, and game designer whose career has shaped not only how we play, but the systems we play on. A San Francisco native, he dropped out of UC Berkeley at 17 after receiving an invitation to join Atari. At 18 he designed the arcade hit Marble Madness. He then moved to Japan to work with Sega, for whom he founded the Sega Technical Institute, developers of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Then played a key role in landmark titles such as Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and Resistance. He's perhaps best known, however, as the lead system architect of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, helping to define the technical and creative possibilities of an entire generation of video games.Become a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.

En introduction, Dom revient sur la visite de Conkerax chez Retro MTL et raconte également son expérience lors de la Journée carrières à l'École secondaire d'Anjou, où il a présenté son parcours entrepreneurial. Nous enchaînons ensuite avec un retour complet sur notre dernier WEG (Week-End Gaming) : photos, vidéos, explication des menus… et la présentation d'une bonne vingtaine de jeux auxquels nous avons joué durant l'événement. Ensuite JF nous livre sa critique de R-Type Delta: HD Boosted, une réfection moderne du classique de la PlayStation 1. Faute de temps, nous n'avons pas pu répondre à toutes les questions du public. Nous nous sommes concentrés sur celles portant sur le WEG, et nous reviendrons sur les autres lors du prochain spectacle.

Way back when, in the first year of the Podcast back in 2019, we covered the 1983 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Episode 9, and we've done the following year's edition every year since. Given we've now had a set formula for covering these parades since, we decided this year to do a "Revisited" for the 1983 edition. We got Shirt Tales, Jon Bauman, Yogi Bear, Charley Pride, the Superman balloon that hides in the corner depressed, Woody Woodpecker, a drunken Bullwinkle, Leonard Frey, and Mr. Smith! Plus, we also get some hot Atari 2600 commercials and some early info on buying VCRs for Black Friday 1983 during the parade! The second part of our Thanksgiving Day Parade Extravaganza will be posted at 12 Noon later today when we discuss The 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In 1993, Atari launched the Jaguar, a console that promised 64-bit power and a bold return to gaming glory—but the reality was far more complicated. In this episode, we explore how Atari partnered with Flare Technology, canceled its 16-bit Panther system, and aimed to leapfrog the competition with a futuristic design that was ambitious, confusing, and notoriously difficult to develop for. We trace the Jaguar's tangled architecture, marketing push to “Do the Math,” and the hardware quirks that doomed it from the start. Our conversation also dives into the console's standout games, failed add-ons like the Jaguar CD and VR, and its strange second life as an open platform for homebrewers. Join us as we plug in and power up the story of the Atari Jaguar on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

(The Hollywood Reporter) When to serve Thanksgiving dinner … Martha Stewart has spoken, and she says Thanksgiving dinner should officially be served at 2 p.m. She claims it keeps people from hovering in the kitchen all morning like starving vultures and helps the whole day flow better. You eat early, hang out, watch football, play games, and still have room for dessert later on. And if you get hungry again at night? Bring out the leftovers for Round Two. Who are we to argue with Martha?Retro gamer beer glass … The old school gaming company Atari just dropped something that's both nostalgic and completely unnecessary — a beer glass stamped with the retro 3D Atari logo. The glass holds 20 ounces, comes with a comfy handle — and isn't cheap. This thing clocks in at $35, which might be a high price for a beer glass, but a bargain when you consider all the memories formed playing Atari games back in the day.MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:Tara Reid says she was at a hotel outside of Chicago early Sunday morning when somebody slipped a drug in her drink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUgY5o27jt0 Scarlett Johansson is set to star in the next installment of The Exorcist from writer-director Mike Flanagan. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/scarlett-johansson-exorcist-horror-movie-mike-flanagan-1236434673/#recipient_hashed=b92941641788d15805f03b377d572994d12bdade7478975c93d0143007f01373&recipient_salt=e829000bb0b218c27fbd0c12f4a38481876a8ab041cc990efde89259509b9611&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=Breaking%20News&utm_content=648608_11-24-2025&utm_term=56896?utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=1764020721-Breaking+News&utm_content=648608_11-24-2025&utm_id=648608· It's been a big year for Jonathan Bailey. https://people.com/people-sexiest-man-alive-jonathan-bailey-highest-grossing-box-office-star-2025-11855685?taid=69248e272b51bd0001bd718f&utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_content=new&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com AND FINALLY"Variety" put together a list of the 100 best comedy movies of all time.

In this episode, Rob and Dave are taking it all the way back to the golden age of gaming — the 1980s — when the arcade was the place to be. From the flashing lights and 8-bit soundtracks of Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga to the quarters lined up on the cabinet waiting for your turn, the arcade became a social hub where kids, teens, and even adults lost track of time chasing high scores. It was a decade when pixelated heroes ruled, and the simple thrill of joystick and button mashing created memories that still hold up today. Then came the revolution that brought the arcade experience home. The Atari 2600 laid the groundwork, but it was Nintendo's NES that truly changed everything — reviving a struggling industry with icons like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. Rob and Dave are joined by Dave's childhood friend Dustin, who grew up right in the middle of it all, to share stories about blowing on cartridges, battling siblings for controller time, and discovering the magic of 8-bit adventure. It's a nostalgic trip back to when gaming was simple, addictive, and full of wonder.

I checked out the Atari 50 Namco DLC and was pleasantly surprised about how well it treated the Atari 2600 Pac-Man port as the programming masterpiece that it is. Valve has announced three new pieces of Steam Hardware to come out in early 2026 - a new Steam Machine, a new Steam Controller, and the successor to the Index VR device, the Steam Frame. Then we talk to Rob about Atari 50 and finally watching the end of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection "dokumentary" and who was left out of the stories.

Surprising you like a good ol' jump scare, the Atari and Apogee partnership rolls on with a shadow drop of Total Chaos on PC and consoles yesterday, November 20th. This one comes from the one-man shop, Sam Prebble/Trigger Happy Interactive, and is a follow-up to the commercial and critical success, Turbo Overkill. What you may not know is that Total Chaos came first, starting as a Doom 2 mod before being remade in its current terrifying form. I'm not going to spoil any more than that here, as Sam was kind enough to join me and Apogee's Jeron Moore to dive into his game dev journey and all things Total Chaos.

This week on Nintendo Pow BlockThis week on Nintendo Pow Block, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Edward Varnell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corey Dirrig ⁠⁠⁠⁠ dive into a massive week of Nintendo and gaming news. The show kicks off with the surprise Nintendo Direct for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, featuring a brand-new trailer introduced by Miyamoto and Illumination's Chris Meledandri—plus a hilarious cameo from Jack Black. We also got big casting confirmations, with Brie Larson as Rosalina and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. The crew also breaks down the unexpected reveal that Pokémon Pokopia will launch on a Game-Key Card for Switch 2, marking The Pokémon Company's first GKC title. This caused a massive conversation from physical game fans, wondering if Nintendo is going back on their word on all first party games will be on full cartridges. In another social media announcement, LEGO and Nintendo showed off their second LEGO Zelda set, coming in 2026 and featuring Link battling Ganon from what looks like the end of Ocarina of Time-inspired scene.Beyond Nintendo, the guys dig into Valve's newly revealed Steam Box, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame, the next evolution of their gaming hardware ecosystem. They discuss how these new devices integrate with the Steam Deck, how Valve's hardware lineup will stack up against what Nintendo is doing with Switch 2, and how it compares to Microsoft's current "Play Anywhere" strategy.Plus, Atari opened pre-orders for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition, getting a physical Switch release via Limited Run Games in March 2026. And to wrap things up, they react to the leaked footage from the upcoming Zelda movie, showing Zelda and Impa on horseback in New Zealand.

Transformational leadership takes on new meaning in this conversation with Jennifer Langton, former CFO of Atari and Senior Vice President of Player Health Innovation at the NFL. Jennifer shares how she turned her career into a masterclass in innovation—leveraging data, authenticity, and purpose to drive change across industries.

This episode offers timeless lessons on leading with integrity, connecting through trust, and transforming challenges into opportunities.

I did in fact get the Star Trek: Strategic Operations Command tree ornament from Hallmark, and I realized Hallmark is my Funko Pop with regards to spending on geek trinkets. Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed six months, and I believe it is because they fired key employees in an effort to bust unionization efforts at Rockstar North. People have spotted a "PC Cross-Buy" icon in the PlayStation Store. Digital Eclipse is launching a new Atari 50 chapter about the Namco partnership, including talking about the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man. Then we talk to Rob about the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection and the Atari 50 collection, as well as the final month of Orange Lounge Radio episodes.

TCW Podcast Episode 246 - The History of Commodore Pt 3 After Jack Tramiel left Commodore and founded Tramel Technology, the company pressed on with mixed results. Systems like the SX 64, the C900, the Plus/4, the C16, and the C116 failed to gain traction, which led to the development of the C128. It improved on the C64 in many ways, but because so many games relied on C64 quirks, Commodore included a full C64 mode to preserve compatibility, so software support was poor. During this period Amiga was shopping its advanced chipset and entered a tentative agreement with Atari, but Jack's impending purchase of Atari from Warner disrupted the arrangement. Commodore stepped in to pay off the outstanding note, which led to Commodore acquiring Amiga outright. This set the stage for the Amiga 1000, its famous bouncing ball demo, and a new chapter in Commodore's history as the company entered the sixteen bit era   TCW 2025 Livestream: https://youtu.be/BXXAhEVD4Lk   Computer Chronicles Revisited - SMOliva: https://computerchronicles.blog/post/computer-chronicles-revisited-038-atari-520st-commodore-128/   Computer Chronicles Revisited - SMOliva: https://computerchronicles.blog/post/computer-chronicles-revisited-052-amiga-workbench-deluxe-paint-neochrome-vip-professional/   Commodore C900: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbVjNInzrw8 Commodore SX-64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGjT-RjNbk Commodore Plus 4 C16 & C116: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICiZbUypMlQ XKCD - Workflow: https://xkcd.com/1172/ Star Raiders (Atari 8-bit): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwqMqmo_jho Joyboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdFzdz3o1hU Boing Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlAhRJjOhDg Amiga 1000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjapiUQOi2s Launch Event of the Amiga in 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OeQ5uzm-Qs Amiga 1000 Sidcar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPfArIhoy0s   TCW 172 - The Computer Price Wars Pt 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-price-wars-part-1/ TCW 173 - The Computer Wars Pt 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-wars-part-2/ TCW 174 - The Computer Wars Pt 3: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-wars-part-3/   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

In 1979, Mattel entered the console wars with the Intellivision, a machine that promised to outthink Atari with its 'intelligent television' design. This week, we explore how a toy company known for Barbie and Hot Wheels transformed into a technological powerhouse, creating one of the first true competitors to Atari's 2600. We discuss the innovations that made the Intellivision stand out, its 16-bit processor, unique keypad controllers, and focus on realism, and the missteps that led to its fall amid the 1983 crash. Our conversation dives into its visionary add-ons, the Blue Sky Rangers, and the legacy that still shapes console design today. Join us as we plug in and power on the story of Mattel's Intellivision on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

From hating Pong to working for Atari, this week we chat with Matt Householder.  From his early days at Gaming Devices Inc. and designing the arcade classic Krull, through to joining Atari right after the video game crash and witnessing the dramatic Amiga chipset saga from the inside. Matt reveals what it was really like working under Jack Tramiel, converting GEM for the Atari ST in record time, and why developers had to sell snacks from their desks just to survive.

Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about the questionable odor of BBL's, the Hooter's getting a re-Hooterization, an Ozzy Osbourne pumpkin mosaic that won a Guinness World Record in England, and the great Alex meets caffeine experiment of 2025. They discuss the James Hetfield having enough street cred to get away with wearing a kangaroo outfit while performing ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls', the lost Mad Monster movie, the Atari 2600 Pac Man Edition, Denny's restaurant chain being sold and going private, and Brimstone's appearance at the upcoming Nightmare Expo in Schenectady, NY in January. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.

In this second episode of Hidden Levels, a podcast from 99 Percent Invisible and Endless Thread, Amory traces the history of the humble-yet-genius joystick. The journey goes from early 20th century aviation, to 1970s video game consoles like the Atari 2600, to the Nintendo 64 thumbstick in the 1990s, to what some consider the joystick's greatest implementation: the dual-thumbstick controller.This optimal interface has changed the game, and not just the video game. The modern dual-stick controller is now considered an MVP in the military, and in medicine.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

From airplanes to Pac-Man to the battlefield, the joystick has quietly shaped the way humans connect with machines.Hidden Levels is a production of 99% Invisible and WBUR's Endless Thread.
