The Blerds are back bringing you all of their thoughts on everything happening in nerd culture. This week, Shannon and James dive deep into their nerdy things including anime recommendations like 'Paprika' and 'Gachiakuta', video game experiences with titles like 'Ghost of Yotei' and 'Astrobot', and discussions on popular shows like 'Peacemaker' and 'Gen V'. They also explore the complexities of anime narratives, particularly in 'Chainsaw Man', and share their ongoing journey with 'One Piece'. They also talk about anime filler episodes and reading recommendations to the ongoing legal battle between Sony and Tencent over game similarities. They discuss the potential impact of copycat games on established franchises, the pricing of upcoming games like GTA 6, and the value of video games in general. The conversation also touches on the future of beloved franchises like Sly Cooper and the importance of game demos.

Are AI games right around the corner? In our second-ever live audience show, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Serge Kynstautas, Head of Engineering at Gardens Interactive, a venture-backed startup building a social online shared fantasy adventure game, and Meir Wasserman, Head of Engineering at 2K Technology. Shooting live from the 3rd annual Pragma Online Services Summit, the trio dives into two critical topics impacting the predominantly technical engineering audience: AI and talent. They discuss AI use cases and tool stacks, how they balance context, security, and flexibility, and how they guide engineering teams in a rapidly changing environment. They also discuss talent in engineering in the new economy – given pressures to do more with less, is the engineering scope and team size being shaved down? Are teams opting for safer, proven tech or looking to innovate? How are engineering leaders bringing along those who may be more reluctant to adopt AI tools in their workflows? That and so much more – including a contentious lighting round and spicy audience Q&A. If you want perspective on the future of AI in games and the subsequent cascading effects on talent, this episode is a must-listen. We'd also like to thank Lightspeed Venture Partners for making this episode possible! With its dedicated gaming & interactive media practice, the firm invests from an over $6.5 billion pool of early and growth-stage capital.

In this episode, host David Taylor sits down with two fantastic guests to explore why large entertainment companies are increasingly paying attention to Roblox, how they're experimenting on the platform today, and what they'll need to see to fully commit. Chris Petrovic is the Chairman and Chief Business Officer of FunPlus, one of the largest privately held companies in the gaming sector.

Zea's out sick this week, so the NAFC boys hold down the fort with all the usual chaos. Mox checks out the Chainsaw Man movie and gives his take on whether it lives up to the anime's bloody legacy. Meanwhile, Izzy's had enough of Alien Earth—he's officially turning on the direction, and he's got receipts. The crew then dives into The Lobster (2015), a bleak, absurdist look at love, loneliness, and turning into sea creatures if you stay single too long. It's weird, it's dark, and it's exactly the kind of movie NAFC was made for. Support us on Patreon!

In this episode, host Kalie Moore talks with Charlie Blackstock, Co-founder & CEO of Remix.gg, the “TikTok of games” where anyone can instantly play and remix community-built titles. They discuss why instant, zero-install games resonate with Gen Z and Millennials, how AI is lowering the barrier to creation and enabling culture-speed hits, and how Web3 rails can power creator monetization at scale. The conversation gets tactical on distribution, dives into the possible future of on-chain creator earnings, and how to create a platform for both Web2 and Web3 gaming audiences.

This was recorded in a world before Silksong, so please excuse Chris' dunks on the Silksong community. He has since played 8 hours of it and thinks it's good. However, for years before it's release every gaming show would have the same meme. Where's Silksong? We've seen this with other games over time as well. Where's Half-Life 3? Where's Shenmue 3? What's Randy Pitchford doing on that bathroom floor? Sometimes we have to wonder, are we excited about the actual games, or are we just excited about being excited about games? Also in this episode, Moriarty tells us what PAX was like this year. MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESHere's the Pax Autocratica game that Moriarty mentions around 25:45 in:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1067360/Pax_Autocratica/TODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanMoriarty: https://www.youtube.com/@reallycoolTrav: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTravGuyCHAPTERS00:00 We've kept you waiting...04:17 We may actually be close to Half-Life 3?16:31 Do we value hype cycles more than the games themselves?27:39 Moriarty wreaks havoc at Gearbox PAX booth (not clickbait)30:42 Gamers, we've gotta do better...hygiene it up!37:41 Overinvesting to play a game before it comes out soon after..39:58 You don't miss E3.

With the games industry in constant evolution, it's important to occasionally pause and take stock of where things stand. Host Devin Becker is joined by Aaron Bush, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at Naavik, for a wide-ranging check-in on market trends, strategic moves from platform holders and investors, and how the current landscape might evolve from here. The conversation explores Epic's latest expansion of user-generated content monetization, plus Meta's recent AR updates and what it might mean for the future of digital interactivity. The episode rounds out with a look at current console strategies – including the success of the Switch 2, Xbox's identity crisis, and how PlayStation fits into the broader picture – and a discussion about the fragmentation of the gaming investment industry.We'd like to thank Lightspeed Venture Partners for making this episode possible!

There are easy games, and games that are notoriously difficult to "get good" at. However, Moriarty raised this question to us...what is the hardest game (or genre) to become simply "okay" at?

This week on NAFC, Izzy's late—but that doesn't stop Gibbs and Mox from going deep. Gibbs kicks things off with a full-on rant about David Fincher's The Game and why it might be the original gaslight simulator. Mox and Gibbs also continue their running obsession with Alien Earth, throwing around more speculation than science. Once Izzy finally rolls in, he brings fresh takes on Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1—yes, it's hype, yes, people cried, and yes, scalpers are still the worst. The crew closes things out with their review of WarGames (1983), the Cold War classic that asks: what if a teenage hacker accidentally started World War III with a dial-up modem?

In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Asi Burak, Chief Business Officer of Tilting Point, to unpack the future of mobile publishing and why UA financing has become one of the most talked-about trends in gaming today.Tilting Point, a top 50 global mobile publisher, recently launched a $150M UA fund this past March. In the past, TP made its name scaling live titles with marketing muscle and pioneering UA financing before it was industry standard. Today, that model has become mainstream. Asi explains how this structure works (non-dilutive, risk-sharing, and predictable) and why even large developers now see it as a smart capital allocation tool rather than just a lifeline for smaller studios. The conversation also covers ATT's seismic impact on mobile, Tilting Point's pivot from third-party publishing to 3rd party UA financing and first-party acquisitions, and how IP-driven strategies amplify UA effectiveness. We discuss what is attractive today in UA financing and how to effectively structure an organization to run two parallel investment pillars. We'd also like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

It's just the boys on NAFC this week, and things get weird fast. The crew opens with some Alien Earth speculation, followed by a discussion of the Final Fantasy Tactics remake rumors and the source code drama that's somehow both hilarious and deeply depressing. Izzy gives his thoughts on Ishura, while Mox talks about his recent rewatch of True Lies—still wild, still problematic, still awesome. Then it's time to dive into the main event: The Day of the Dolphin (1973), the movie that asked, “What if we trained dolphins to talk... and then turned them into assassins?” Somehow, that's not even the weirdest part.

Fortnite's newest season is here, and it has...Power Rangers and Halo People. Have we reached a point of diminishing returns with Fortnite collabs? Has the underlying cynicism of it all finally shone through the cracks? And, more importantly, which dead and buried 90's franchises are most likely to get the Fortnite glow-up next?
