This week I'm talking about off-brand Mario, Mario Is Missing! What began as an earnest attempt at broadening the Mario brand turns into a case study of confused design that has no interest in valuing your time. I break down why this game fails as both a learning tool and as a video game and how the marketing doomed it before it even hit store shelves.

¡Wolverine en PS5 arrasa el State of Play! Gameplay brutal, villanos épicos y ventana de estreno
Manu und sein heutiger Gast Viet (PixelViet) haben sich die gestrige Xbox Developer Direct angeschaut und waren vom Gezeigten durchaus überrascht: Wir haben beeindruckendes Gameplay und einen richtigen DeepDive zum mit Spannung erwarteten Fable bekommen. Können die Playground Studios endlich die Vision von Peter Molyneux technisch umsetzen? Es sieht ganz danach aus. Wenig überraschend, aber dafür richtig schick: Forza Horizon 6 in Japan und auch Beast of Reincarnation wird erwartbar gut allen Anschein nach. Warum sich Viet auf das Spiel von Game Freak am meisten freut, erfahrt ihr im Cast. Kein Shadowdrop, aber kommt trotzdem bald: das auf den ersten Blick verwirrende neue Spiel von Double Fine.

IIn this episode, hosts Shaq, Neil, and Homer dive deep into the ongoing Team of the Year promo in FC26 where the midfielders get their time in the spotlight. They discuss their experiences with the promo, expressing a mix of excitement and disappointment regarding pack weights and the overall content. Homer shares his underwhelming feelings about the promo, comparing it to a lackluster WrestleMania without star players. Neil adds that the grind for Team of the Year cards has been tougher this year, with lower pack odds making it difficult to obtain high-rated players. The conversation shifts to the gameplay content and the community's collective frustration with the current state of the game, highlighting the need for better rewards and more engaging content.TakeawaysTeam of the Year is a major promo but often leads to disappointment.Pack weights this year are significantly lower than previous years.The community is feeling a collective frustration with the current state of FC.Gameplay content is abundant, but rewards are lacking.Expectations for Team of the Year often lead to disillusionment.Chapters00:00 Welcome Back to Foot and Review01:15 Team of the Year Expectations02:32 Homer's Underwhelming Experience03:55 Neil's Take on Pack Weights06:10 Community Reactions to Team of the Year10:33 Gameplay Content vs. Pack Rewards18:23 Midfielders and Their Stats23:10 SBC Choices and Future Icons25:37 Team of the Year SBCs: Pricing and Requirements27:36 Player Performance: Stamina and Attributes31:02 Upcoming Icon Swaps: Expectations and Speculations34:29 Evolutions: Current State and Future Prospects40:26 The Impact of Icon Swaps on the Community49:06 Final Thoughts and Community EngagementCheck out our socials:X: https://twitter.com/futinreviewInstagram: https://instragram.com/futinreviewTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@futinreviewpodcastQuestions: futinreview@gmail.comhttps://youtube.com/futinreviewhttps://www.futinreview.com https://patreon.com/futinreview

This week, we kick off 2026 by talking about Ambrosia Sky, a short, atmospheric sci-fi game that quietly wrecked us more than we expected. What starts as a PowerWash-adjacent cleanup sim turns into a meditation on grief, abandonment, and the emotional cost of leaving home. We talk about why smaller, constrained games are thriving right now, how Ambrosia Sky uses limitation as a strength, and why finishing Act One left us with far more questions than answers — in the best possible way. Episode Notes We open the first episode of 2026 in full post-holiday time confusion: strange schedules, too much work, and no reliable sense of what day it is.Eden talks about covering extra shifts at the comic shop, double-dipping PTO, and the unfortunate result of biking home in brutal weather and bruising their ribs.A digression on sleep rituals follows, including Peter's famously corpse-like sleeping position and Eden's highly specific side-switching requirements.With it being January 1st, we reflect on 2025 as a pop-culture year — broadly rough, but not without meaningful discoveries.We note a shared shift toward shorter, more focused media, especially in games.
As I was listening to an episode of the Ludology podcast recently, one focused on games and health, I started to think about how much the people we play with influence our gameplay experience. Selecting board games based on the audience is much more important than we may like to believe. Get it wrong, and you have one player rebelling and playing opposite to expectations, another disengaging completely, and the overall mood shifting from playful enjoyment to uncomfortable tension. In this article, I want to discuss how a mismatch can impact the enjoyment of the whole group, alter the tone of reviews, and even affect playtest outcomes.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/30/socially-afflicted-how-people-affect-gameplay-experience-topic-discussion/Useful LinksLudology podcast episode 351, Better Health Through Gaming: https://ludology.libsyn.com/ludology-351-better-health-through-gamingPandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Amit Bar's and Tobias Otterbring's study “The role of culture and personality traits in board game habits and attitudes” in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969698921000722Qian Zhang's, JiaLe Ruan's and DingYong Xiong's study “Differential effects of exposure to cooperative versus competitive games on sharing behavior in young children" in Frontiers in Psychiatry: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12268353/Bez Shahriari's reflections on playtesting behaviour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bez_ShahriariBoard Game Design Lab: https://boardgamedesignlab.com/Mahiro Egashira's, Daisuke Son's and Arisa Ema's study “Serious Game for Change in Behavioral Intention Toward Lifestyle Related Diseases” in JMIR Serious Games: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35188465/Ramy Hammady's and Sylvester Arnab's review “Serious Gaming for Behaviour Change, A Systematic Review” in Information: https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/13/3/142MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: "Epic Inspiration" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Galaxy" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Legend" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Kamala Harris refuses to be a “Good Woman.” You should, too.In this rare and deeply personal conversation, Kimberly is joined by Vice President Kamala Harris to reflect on womanhood, ambition, partnership, and the mental stamina required to cut through doubt and criticism.Harris reframes one of the most enduring and limiting expectations placed on women: the pressure to be a “good woman.” She unpacks how humility has historically been used to police women and makes a case for a different standard rooted in conviction, self-trust, and refusing to shrink.Drawing from her own life, Harris reflects on the weight of being “the first,” the importance of choosing the right circle to get you there, and offers rare advice for single women balancing ambition with finding “the one.”Kim's biggest takeaway? Don't let things happen to you.Together, they discuss:Why ambition was never the problem and why women were taught to hide it.The myth of the “good woman” and how it has been used to police women.How to cut through doubt, noise, and projection without letting it live in your head.What power, partnership, and finding “the one” really look like without the timeline panic.Related reading: 107 Days: A Memoir of a Campaign That Made History (2025).[2:54] The Village That Raised Her[9:30] The Myth of the Good Woman[12:20] Advice for Ambitious, Single Women[20:14] Stamina, Staying Power & the Long Game[23:54] The Weight of Being “The First”[28:38] What She Needed More Of[32:52] Who She's Becoming Now✨ You're Gonna Want to Subscribe to This:Drop us a 5-STAR review (with a compliment — we read them all)Follow us (@richlittlebrokegrls) on Instagram for daily clips & chaos → [instagram.com/richlittlebrokegrls]Join the RLBG Community for exclusive events & LIVE girl talks → [richlittlebrokegirls.com/join] Stalk Kim on TikTok & Instagram (@kimberlybizu) for more unfiltered hot takes → [instagram.com/kimberlybizu & tiktok.com/@kimberlybizu]Shop Kim's favorites on ShopMy → [https://shopmy.us/kimberlybizu]

Today's podcast is a solo episode on keys to athletic longevity and ability. This isn't just a “stay strong as you age” show, but rather, speaks to principles of comprehensive embodiment of the movement and strength training process. Here I break down 10 core principles for true athletic longevity; physically, mentally, and creatively. Drawing from decades of coaching, training, and personal evolution, I explore why mastery of bodyweight skills, seasonal training rhythms, and “doing more with less” are essential as athletes age. I dive into the power of games, community, mythos, and ritual in keeping training joyful and sustainable, and explain how reflection, visualization, and a generalist mindset unlock deeper layers of performance. Whether you're 18 or 68, I share a roadmap for staying explosive, engaged, and young at heart; so your training stops feeling like an obligation and starts feeling like an adventure again.

Longevity principles apply to everyone. Frame training around sustaining abilities for life, not constantly chasing output. Use seasons of high intent and seasons of exploration to keep the body adaptable. 1:09 – Mastery of Bodyweight Strength Build a foundation through movements like single leg squats, pull-ups, handstands, and climbs. Treat bodyweight strength as both athleticism and self-care. Create challenges that force coordination, tension control, and awareness rather than raw force. Mastery comes from slow, deliberate practice, not grinding reps. 7:15 – Doing More with Less Minimal equipment forces the nervous system to solve problems instead of relying on machinery. Use odd objects, rocks, or simple setups to create organic strength tasks. The fewer the tools, the more your body must coordinate pathways and recruit fibers intuitively. Minimalism creates long term durability because it reduces stiffness from repetitive patterns. 14:48 – Beyond Output: The Joy of Training Training becomes richer when you stop chasing numbers and start chasing satisfaction. Explore environments that give you novelty, challenge, and a sense of discovery. Use activities like bouldering, trail running, or skill based strength tasks to reconnect with intrinsic motivation. Joy improves longevity by making training sustainable, not obligatory. 33:28 – Working with the Seasons Rotate training priorities with the seasons to avoid stagnation. Winter may prioritize hill sprints, rock climbing, or foundational strength. Summer may lean into elastic qualities, sprinting, and outdoor challenges. Seasonal shifts satisfy both psychology and physiology by adding rhythm to training. 41:15 – Community and Gameplay Seek out communities that support physical play: climbing gyms, pickup sports, outdoor groups. Games create natural variability and spontaneity that cannot be replicated in a weight room. Being around others elevates energy and brings back the competitive spark. Gameplay keeps you young because it connects challenge, emotion, and movement. 43:04 – The Mythos of Training Build a personal mythology around your process to make training more meaningful. Rituals, environments, and narratives help you commit long term. Your system does not need to be rigid to be powerful. It needs to resonate. Treat training as an evolving story rather than a strict set of prescriptions. 54:06 – Reflective Practices for Growth Use journaling, quiet walks, or cooldown reflection to understand how training is shaping you. Reflection strengthens the connection between intuition and programming. Regular evaluation prevents burnout because it keeps training aligned with who you are becoming. Know when a method has run its course so you can adapt before stagnation. 1:02:29 – Staying Young at Heart Regularly expose yourself to novelty to maintain athletic qualities and curiosity. Choose activities that make you laugh, struggle, or fail safely. Maintain low level sprinting and jumping year round to keep elasticity from fading. Staying youthful is a mindset supported by movement variety. 1:05:21 – Conclusion and Training Opportunities Mix structured training with open-ended exploration to become resilient. Create programs that align with your interests, not just performance metrics. Longevity is built from sustainable rhythms, not all out cycles. Choose training communities and methods that help you stay inspired. Quotes from Joel “Longevity is not about chasing numbers. It is about staying able.” “Minimalism forces your body to become smarter instead of stiffer.” “When you stop obsessing over the output, you rediscover the joy of the process.” “If you follow the seasons, your training stays fresh and your body stays adaptable.” “Gameplay brings out movement qualities you cannot coach in the weight room.” “Your training story matters. It keeps you showing up long after the numbers stop improving.” “Reflection is the anchor that keeps your training aligned with who you are becoming.” “Staying young at heart is as much a training strategy as it is a mindset.” About Joel Smith Joel Smith is the founder of Just Fly Sports, a leading education platform in speed, power, and human movement.
