Read transcriptWelcome web-slinging warriors and joystick jockeys to another thrilling episode of Play Comics where we untangle the sticky situation of comic-to-game adaptations with the precision of Peter Parker trying to explain away his sudden photography skills! This week we're diving headfirst into the cel-shaded spectacular that is Ultimate Spider-Man, the 2005 game that took Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's comic masterpiece and somehow convinced every gaming platform from here to the Daily Bugle that they needed a piece of this web-slinging action. Released across more systems than Spider-Man has quips in his arsenal—PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS—this Treyarch-developed adventure let players experience both sides of the symbiote coin. Whether you were swinging through Manhattan as everyone's favorite wise-cracking wall-crawler or stomping around as the terrifyingly toothy Venom, this game promised to deliver more comic book authenticity than J. Jonah Jameson has anti-Spider-Man editorials. Joining us for this ultimate discussion are two absolute legends from the podcasting multiverse: Derek B Gayle and Doug Fink, the dynamic duo behind Walloping Websnappers and a whole constellation of other fantastic shows on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective that may not be directly relevant to our web-slinging shenanigans today, but are undeniably brilliant nonetheless. When they're not busy dissecting every Spider-Man cartoon ever created or exploring the depths of various other pop culture phenomena, these two bring their encyclopedic knowledge of all things Spider to help us determine whether this game truly captured the essence of the Ultimate universe or if it just left us feeling like we'd been caught in one of Green Goblin's elaborate schemes. So dust off those early 2000s gaming controllers, practice your best Venom growl, and prepare for an episode that's guaranteed to be more entertaining than watching Eddie Brock try to explain his sudden career change from journalism to alien symbiote hosting! Learn such things as: Can you make a game that really fits in with the continuity of the comics AND have it stay that way? Will we sucker any artists into making Venomized versions of The Muppets? What kind of good butt battle would ensue between Venom and Captain America? And so much more! You can find Derek and Doug on a bunch of stuff on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective, including Walloping Websnappers, Skreeonk!, and Falling With Style. You can also find Doug on Novel Gaming and on BlueSky @ickybooley. You can also find Derek on Gimmicks and Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, and on BlueSky @derekbgayle. Or you can find Walloping Websnappers on BlueSky @wallopingwebpod and play the game where you guess who is using the account at that moment.

Starting off this month with PicoLoader being released for the GameCube, an open-source project which utilizes the power of a Raspberry Pi Pico and intercepts the DVD drive to quickly load a piece of homebrew such as Swiss. We also see some awesome releases for the PS4, allowing for some pretty quick and stable jailbreaks up to firmware 12.02! DIY Game Boy cartridges, custom soundtracks for the original Xbox, and the dramatic improvements to Bad Update on Xbox 360 all get some highlights in this episode. Oh, and we could start saying the Switch can handle optical media, more on that at the end.
This episode is all about Revenge of the Savage Planet, the sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet, basically asking you to do most of the same things, but this time with some new abilities and a new perspective.

Worum geht's? Super Stay Forever: Diesmal nehmen Fabian und Gunnar ein Spiel unter die Lupe, das bunt, laut und chaotisch daherkommt – und doch weit mehr ist als bloße Lizenzware. Statt grauer Dungeons oder futuristischer Schlachtfelder geht es mitten hinein in eine quietschgelbe Vorstadtidylle, die schon lange Kultstatus genießt. Dort warten nicht nur skurrile Figuren und absurde Missionen, sondern auch eine Spielmechanik, die man in diesem Kontext vielleicht nicht sofort erwarten würde. Klingt nach Spaß – und nach reichlich Gesprächsstoff für den Podcast! Thema: The Simpsons: Hit & Run Erscheinungstermin: 16.9.2003 Plattform: Playstation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Window-PC Entwickler: Radical Entertainment Publisher: Vivendi Universal Games Genre: Action Entwickler: Vlad Ceraldi, Yayoi Maruno-Chorney, Joel DeYoung, Joe McGinn Musik: Marc Baril, Danny Elfman (Simpsons Theme) Produktions-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Fabian Käufer, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Fabian Langer, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro & Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Trash80.com (Musik) In der Folge kommt Wolfgang Hamann zu Wort, der seinerzeit Projektmanager für das Spiel war. Wolfgang hat deutsche Wurzeln, spricht aber besser Englisch als Deutsch, daher haben wir das Interview auf Englisch geführt. Die Zitate haben wir im Podcast in Deutsche übertragen und nachvertont, als Sprecher kam Christian Rudolf zum Einsatz. Unterstützende auf Patreon und Steady erhalten in Kürze noch eine Zusatzfolge mit weiteren Anekdoten, Storys und Informationen zu Hit&Run.
Read transcriptWelcome, card-slinging strategy seekers, to another episode of Play Comics where we shuffle through the deck of comic-to-game adaptations with all the precision of a first-turn Exodia draw gone horribly wrong! Today we're summoning not one, but TWO Yu-Gi-Oh! adventures that took Yugi's world from the small screen to handheld hysteria and living room chaos. First up, we're diving into Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition – Stairway to the Destined Duel for the Game Boy Advance, a portable card battler that somehow managed to cram the entire Battle City tournament into a device smaller than Joey's brain capacity. Then we're teleporting to the GameCube dimension with Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, where virtual reality meets real-time strategy in a combination so bizarre it makes Kaiba's obsession with ancient Egyptian card games seem perfectly reasonable. Joining us for this interdimensional dueling discussion is the magnificent GothJon from the 2 ACT Podcast, whose expertise in anime, cinema, and all things delightfully dark makes him the perfect co-host to help us navigate these shadow realm gaming adventures. Whether we're discussing the satisfying simplicity of portable dueling or the ambitious madness of strategic monster management, GothJon brings the kind of analytical insight that would make even Pegasus jealous. So grab your duel disk, power up that millennium puzzle, and prepare for an episode that explores how faithfully these games captured the heart of the cards… or whether they sent us straight to the shadow realm of gaming disappointment. Will these Yu-Gi-Oh! adaptations prove they've got what it takes to stand the test of time, or will they end up banished to the extra deck of forgotten licensed gamesmes? Time to duel… digitally! Learn such things as: How well do these card games hold up these days with rules and metagame changes? Do you really need to be a character from the franchise to feel emerged into the franchise? Will Chris realize that he can watch the anime without playing the card game? And so much more! You can find GothJon on YouTube @gothjon, the 2 ACT Podcast on Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.

We delve the depths of Tallon IV on this episode of Still Loading. I'm joined by returning guest to the podcast Chris (aka the British Bond Addict) to talk Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime is a game that has eluded me for a while. I first played it over a decade ago but never got around to beating it even though I made it over 90% through the game. That has been finally corrected and I couldn't be happier I got to experience it.... with a few complaints here and there. Chris and I discuss the music, the world, the story, why he's wrong about the story... I mean we just discuss the story. Anyway. Learn how to morph ball and roll on into this new episode!

Professor Kozlowski tackles the preeminent philosopher of Enlightenment philosophy: Immanuel Kant. In this lecture, we'll discuss the basic principles underlying Deontological Ethics (including an explanation of the Categorical Imperative), before moving on to appreciate the wry dark humor and cutting insights of his political essay "Perpetual Peace."Our readings include excerpts from the Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals (Or "Groundwork...") and the complete essay "Perpetual Peace."Additional readings this week include a healthy portion of sturm und drang: Goethe's Faust and Schiller's The Robbers, as well as the behemoth of Romantic Political Philosophy: Hegel's The Philosophy of Right. (Proceed with caution - Hegel is not for the faint of heart...) As for today's video game recommendation, we're going with the Gamecube-era JRPG: Tales of Symphonia for its unflinching deontological morality. Take that, Final Fantasy X!If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

This week on The Game Deflators Podcast – John and Ryan dive into the cardboard chaos of Magic: The Gathering, unpacking their latest pickups and sounding off on the absurdity of collector booster prices. Is Wizards of the Coast pricing out its own fanbase? Meanwhile, John shares his progress on Final Fantasy VI and The Witcher, revealing whether pixel nostalgia or monster hunting is winning his attention. In the news, Nintendo stirs controversy by greenlighting Palland for the eShop, despite its uncanny resemblance to Palworld—a game currently embroiled in legal drama. Is this a bold move or a blunder? And for this week's retro review, the duo takes a slippery slide into Super Mario Sunshine for the GameCube. Does this tropical platformer still shine, or is it just a soggy mess?

Read transcriptHoly cowl-wearing console catastrophe, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics we're grappling-hooking our way into the surprisingly deep shadows of 2005's Batman Begins video game – because apparently someone at Eurocom looked at Christopher Nolan's gritty reboot and thought, “You know what this needs? A fear meter and the ability to summon actual bats to terrify thugs into submission!” Released across more platforms than Batman has traumatic childhood memories, this movie tie-in somehow managed to land on PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance without completely embarrassing itself in the process. While most movie games crash and burn faster than if I tried to drive the Batmobile, this stealth-action adventure actually tried to do something interesting with its “High Frequency Transponder” gadget and environmental intimidation mechanics that made enemies drop their weapons in sheer terror. Joining us for this digital descent into Gotham's criminal underworld is the incredibly talented Wells Thompson, creative mastermind behind indie comic sensations and the brilliant mind that helped bring us The Scorpion and the Queen (among a bunch of other Kickstarter projects) and the force over at WellsThompson.com. Wells brings his unique perspective on comic storytelling and adaptations to help us figure out whether this game captured the essence of both the Dark Knight's origin story and Nolan's cinematic vision, or if it belongs in Arkham Asylum alongside the rest of the movie tie-in disasters. From the surprisingly robust stealth segments that actually rewarded patience over button-mashing, to those Batmobile sequences that had us questioning our life choices, we'll explore how this Eurocom-developed title managed to be the last Batman movie to get a proper video game adaptation – and whether that's a good thing or a tragedy. So grab your utility belt and join us as we investigate whether fear really is the best weapon, or if this game should have stayed in the cave where it belongs! Learn such things as: Where does this game fit into the timeline of the movie? Is it a problem that I could just buy the driving parts by themselves? How many times can you do the same puzzle? And so much more! You can find Wells on BlueSky @wellsthomp, his newsletter Comics, Cats, and Cocktails, his current Kickstarter The Scorpion and the Queen or just go ahead and see all of his stuff on Kickstarter, and of course his website WellsThompson.com.

TCW Podcast Episode 240 - Nintendo: Playing with Mii & Wii From DS touch-and-stylus play to living-room motion, we trace Nintendo's road to Wii. Nintendogs and Brain Age broadened the audience to parents and grandparents. After cold receptions at Microsoft and Sony, inventor Tom Quinn's Gyration motion tech found a home at Nintendo, and internal prototypes were so fun they became Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit. The reveal timeline runs from Reggie Fils-Aime's 2004 E3 DS debut and "Revolution" tease, to a controller-free console showing at E3 2005, to the surprise Wii Remote reveal during Iwata's Tokyo Game Show keynote, and the full unveiling at E3 2006. Built on refined GameCube internals, the Wii favored low cost, low noise, and always-on convenience, with Miis inspired by Japanese wooden dolls (Kokeshi) and a channel interface modeled on a TV wall to invite quick, family-friendly play.

The big shooter showdown is on the way! Will Battlefield 6 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 win? Is Nintendo manipulating fans with GameCube games? Could AI end up being a net positive for game development?
We round out the cartoony sports category with some attitude. NFL Street was released for the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox on January 13, 2004 and was developed by EA Tiburon and published by EA Big.The brothers can't help but compare NFL Street to the Madden series. Ant has a bone to pick about not being included on Pete and Tom's created team.This week the brothers ask what is your favorite over the top sports game that we haven't covered in this category? NFL Blitz, NHL Hitz, or MLB Slugfest.Follow us onX @BrosBossBattlesYouTube @BrosBossBattlesInstagram @BrosBossBattleshttps://brothersandbossbattles.com/
