Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on 1985's Ultima IV. We talk a lot about the mysterious sense of the game, the talking interface and mechanics, and dive a bit into combat before turning to reader mail.

In episode 406 of Everything Fast Pitch by Fast Pitch Prep, Coach Tory and Coach Don delve into several listener-driven topics and provide insights into effective softball coaching and team management strategies. The lead-off segment tackles a query from a high school coach looking to improve his pitching coaching skills. The hosts advise taking advantage of online resources, developing a collaborative relationship with players, and maintaining a positive coaching attitude even if expertise isn't fully developed.In the cleanup segment, they address whether it's acceptable for players to skip team practices to play in other tournaments. Both coaches stress the importance of team practices for skill development and team cohesion, highlighting that skipping practices undermines team performance and individual growth. The coaching tip of the week focuses on ensuring players consistently back up plays during games. The coaches share strategies for making this a habit, including the importance of drills, practice, and possibly benching players who fail to fulfill their responsibilities on the field.Support the show

You read that title right, GateCrashers does sports again! Come join Patrick, Dan, and newcomer Kate McGowan as they dive into the Olympic Games, just in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy! The Olympics are probably the most prestigious sporting event, uniting the world every 4 years for international competition across a wide variety of sports. Patrick, Dan, and Kate talk about the history of the Olympics and their personal relationships with the Games (like how Patrick watches every single medal event at each Olympics!) before diving into what to expect at this year's Winter Games. Patrick eagerly talks about the absolutely wild new sport of Ski Mountaineering, and Dan talks about his love of all things Curling. Patrick and Kate give an overview of the broader Olympic program, including sore spots like the lack of women's Nordic Combined and the absence of most Russian and Belarusian athletes. They also talk about what to expect at this year's Olympic ice hockey tournament, with the return of NHL players for the first time since 2014 (and some very direct comments on how, if you want to support queer people in ice hockey after watching Heated Rivalry, women's ice hockey might be for you). Kate then gives us a deep dive into the marquee event of any Winter Olympic Games: the Figure Skating program. She gives us an overview of the differences in the figure skating events (which include men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dancing), as well as a very brief explanation of different jumps that constitute the sport, including the recently unbanned backflip. Patrick and Kate then preview who the medal contenders are this year, including who is representing Team USA. They also teach Dan about the unprecedented athletic feat that is Ilia Malinin and his quadruple axle. We hope that you enjoy this episode and join us for 19 days of incredible international sports at the 2026 Winter Olympics!

It also happened to be the last year before EA secured the exclusive rights to the NFL license, leaving many fans wishing we could go back to the way things were back then, and we were left with two games that many consider to be some of the best sports games ever made- Madden 2005 (EA Tiburon) and ESPN NFL 2K5 (Visual Concepts). 20+ years later, which game stands on top?

We also break down the latest Xbox Developer Direct, react to the Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary announcements, and revisit Highguard and what its struggles say about live service games.

In the first episode of Meet Team USA Figure Skating (Frozen Waters), a special mini-series from Unfiltered Waters, Katie sits down with Alysa Liu, a Beijing 2022 Olympian, World Champion, and the first woman to land a quad Lutz. Alysa reflects on stepping away from the sport at a young age, trusting her intuition, and returning with a renewed sense of creativity, connection, and purpose. She opens up about self-expression through skating, fashion, and choreography, the importance of saying no to outside noise, and why “connection” is the word that grounds everything she does. Honest, thoughtful, and uniquely her, this conversation sets the tone for Frozen Waters—a closer look at the journeys, identities, and inner lives of Team USA figure skaters on the road to the Games.-----Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.-----FOLLOW KATIE ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/-----FOLLOW MISSY ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/-----SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSIM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% offdreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off-----#UnfilteredWaters #WinterOlympics #FigureSkating

Negotiation and sales are often treated as tactical skills. Something leaders do at the end of the process, armed with tricks, pressure, and leverage. In this conversation, Todd Caponi makes the case that this mindset is outdated—and increasingly damaging for leaders operating in a world of transparency, information abundance, and long-term accountability.Todd draws on his experience as a former Chief Revenue Officer, his deep study of the history of sales and negotiation, and his latest book, Four Levers Negotiating: The Simple, Counterintuitive Way to Higher Deal Values and Lasting Trust, to challenge conventional wisdom about how deals actually get done. His core argument is simple but provocative: people don't make decisions because they're convinced. They decide when they can predict outcomes. And most leadership behaviors unintentionally undermine that predictability.The conversation explores why traditional negotiation tactics—holding cards close, creating artificial urgency, treating the deal as the finish line—erode trust precisely when it matters most. Todd explains how many of these practices emerged from a very different economic era and why they fail in today's interconnected, reputation-driven environment.At the center of the discussion is Todd's Four Levers framework, which reframes negotiation as a leadership system rather than a personality trait. Instead of games and pressure, the framework focuses on transparency, trade-offs, and shared understanding—creating better decisions for both sides and reducing internal friction across leadership teams.This episode is not about becoming a better negotiator in the traditional sense. It's about how leaders create trust, predictability, and long-term value—whether they are working with customers, boards, partners, or their own leadership teams.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why leaders don't win decisions by persuading harder—but by helping others predict outcomes more clearly.Hear how treating the deal as an “early milestone,” rather than the finish line, changes how leaders approach trust and accountability.Discover why many pricing and negotiation conflicts inside organizations have less to do with money and more to do with unclear decision logic.Learn how Todd's Four Levers framework creates flexibility without sacrificing consistency or trust.Hear why fake urgency and short-term pressure often backfire, even when they appear to work in the moment.Explore how transparency speeds up the right decisions while quickly ending the wrong ones.Understand why predictability is an undervalued leadership asset—and how it affects forecasting, resourcing, and alignment.Learn how sharing constraints, rather than hiding them, can turn resistance into partnership.Connect with Todd CaponiTodd Caponi WebsiteTodd Caponi LinkedInFour Levers Negotiating: The Simple, Counterintuitive Way to Higher Deal Values and Lasting Trust Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Today's Teaching Middle School ELA episode is all about grammar games that actually work. Not the chaotic, overcomplicated kind—but the print, pass out, play, done kind. I'm sharing two of my favorite low-prep grammar games that feel like recess to students while secretly delivering serious skill practice. Easy to reuse, simple to set up, and engaging enough that kids forget they're doing grammar. Let's go.

The NBA has suspended Paul George for 25 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy. George apologized for “mistakenly” taking prescription drugs. Yikes. $11 million suspension. But for the 76ers, they get help when it comes to the luxury tax. (9:28) Jason Kidd has had enough. Could it be the pressure of the Luka trade fallout has caught up to him? (19:10) The WNBA will not start on time. It cannot. The fighting is too much. They are no closer to a deal now than they were 3 months ago. (28:45) Another pro player wants to go back to school. How fun. We all saw this coming. (34:20) The Athletics have some more signings. They continue to give longterm deals to players who don't need them just yet cause of team control. (38:43) The Seattle Seahawks are for sale. They have been for 7 years now. And now Jody Allen, who is running the team, has been fined $5 million. (43:00) Luis Arraez signed for $12 million with the Giants. Just for a one-year deal. That's it. So many players either not signed or signing for short term. What is happening?

Point systems are everywhere. Ready for movie night? Consult Rotten Tomatoes. Vetting a new pediatrician? See how many stars they have. At work, it can be even more pervasive: There's KPIs and ROIs because success has to be measurable.  But what happens when we boil something down to one nice number? What do we lose? Philosopher C. Thi Nguyen, author of the new book The Score, joins Host Flora Lichtman to explore how metrics can be soul-crushing in work and in life, yet keeping score is freeing in the world of games. Read an excerpt from The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else's Game.Guest:Dr. C.
