Podcasts about god of war

Men online are furious about the new God of War installment, where you play as Laufey (Kratos's wife and the character the entire series is built around), so naturally someone made an AI game called God of Laundry where she does dishes and changes diapers. Chesko and Regan connect the outrage to a larger pattern: the same men demanding empathy for male loneliness are openly, publicly building communities around hating women.

The first book-length study on mythology reception in video games, Characters and Characterization in Mythological Video Games (Bloomsbury, 2026) examines how video games characterize mythological characters from the perspectives of classical reception and game studies. Characters are vital to most stories, and many video games. They allow us to enter the fiction of a game, and facilitate our embodiment in the game world. Over time, what are initially blank slates transform into fictional existents with well-developed personalities and goals. In this context, narratology uses the term 'characterization' to refer to how character traits are ascribed to the entities we call 'characters'. How does characterization operate in games? How do players impact this process? How is mythology transformed by video games? What can games 'do' that other media cannot? After establishing a theoretical framework, this book moves to six case studies that each analyze mythological characters in a particular game: Smite, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Immortals Fenyx Rising, God of War, Theseus and Asgard's Wrath 2. The scope of these studies is diverse, incorporating examples from mainstream, indie and virtual reality gaming. While the book's main focus lies with Greco-Roman mythology, it also includes games with Norse and Egyptian settings, or with playable characters from a wide range of international mythological traditions. Through these case studies, Alexander Vandewalle leads his readers to an understanding of different modalities or 'languages' of mythology reception in games. He argues for a striking diversity in mythological games and their characters, and illuminates how the relationship between games and antiquity is fundamentally one of continuous dialogue and play. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal TITEL kulturmagazin for the game section and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter Game Studies Watchlist.

After we had a way better than expected time with MGS1's VR missions, it's only fitting that we find ourselves a little let down by MGS2's VR missions. There may be more missions, but there is way less variety, and not as much of the unique missions that MGS1 had to offer. But don't worry, we make up for the lacking VR missions by getting sidetracked on various topics such as: God of War, Woodkid, Gamera, Hugh Jackman, Metal Gear Survive, and much more!Episode 86: THE Dr. Thomas Koppelthorn

Deze aflevering van Brievenmaandag is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/E_uSs0Mpdi0 Na een weekend met de eerste wedstrijd van Oranje (met de bijbehorende kater) op het WK, is het tijd om met zijn allen aan de slag te gaan. De nieuwe werkweek wacht. En die dagen luiden we zoals elke week in met een nieuwe editie van Brievenmaandag. De vaste talkshow op de maandag waarin we de prangende vragen van de community beantwoorden. Zodat zij van deze mentale ballast af zijn en vrij door de dagen kunnen zweven. Vragen zijn er zoals altijd genoeg. Veel daarvan gaan over de afgelopen GKE3 presentaties van PlayStation en Xbox. Welke game kijken wij bijvoorbeeld het meest naar uit? De schrijver van de mail had het meest met Gears of War E-Day en God of War Laufey. Wij ook? Het antwoord krijg je in de Brievenmaandag van maandag 15 juni 2026. Staat God of War: Laufey op ons verlanglijstje? De laatste tijd krijgen we ook veel vragen over handhelds. Dit keer kregen we een mail die eens niet ging over de Steam Deck of de Lenovo Legion. De briefschrijver in kwestie vroeg zich af of we weleens gehoord hadden van de AYN Thor handheld. Draagbare consolespecialist Jasper zit bij deze editie van Brievenmaandag en heeft hopelijk een zinnig antwoord. Je ziet en hoort het in deze video. Kan de Steam Machine straks alle goede PC games een beetje oké aan? We kregen ook een brief over de Steam Machine. Iemand wil van de console overstappen naar de PC, maar geen dikke desktop kopen. De nieuwe ‘console’ van Valve leek hem daarom wel wat. Maar is die krachtig genoeg om straks games als Total War: Warhammer 40K, Planet Zoo 2 en Stronghold 4 met alle spreekwoordelijke toeters en bellen te kunnen spelen?Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Gamekings óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

Summer Game Fest was this week, so we talk about the games that Sony, Microsoft, and third parties showed at this Not-E3 week. Included in this is the whiplash of 1666: Amsterdam between the trailer and the playable prologue, the difference between Tupac's estate and his family, and my hopeful take on Persona 6's direction. Crazy Taxi: World Tour was also announced, but has a disclaimer that generative AI was used in the assets, which makes it a non-starter for many fans. The Switch 2 will get a redesign in Europe that allows for an easily replaceable battery due to new EU regulations. Don't expect this design to come to the US, but any new Switch (such as a lite or OLED model) will most likely have the same feature. Then we talk to OLR about Summer Game Fest.

Did He-Man come out a few decades too late? I liked the movie, but does it have the power? Summer Games Fest hit Friday afternoon with a bang, Xbox brought the lancer, and immediately stepped on a rake. Meanwhile Nintendo finally revealed the game everyone knew about, as the Ocarina of time returns. Plus a new 21 Jump street is coming, but why the skip to 24?

This week on Toilet Radio: Gen X Correspondent Ian sits down with acclaimed film, video game, and television composer Bear McCreary. For folks unfamiliar, Bear has composed music for everything from Battlestar Galactica, God of War, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Bear tells us the origins of his desire to put out heavy metal albums after working with Brendon Small, Serj Tankian, and Gene Hoglan on a track for Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019). Now on his second album of his Singularity arc, Bear tells us about getting every heavy hitter in hard rock and heavy metal to join him in releasing tunes. Gen X Ian presses Gene on drum quantization and sampling, the economics of recording drums, and sequencing music for a modern metal sound. Is releasing a metal record a sound financial investment? Hear it from a world-renowned musician himself, “Absolutely not!” This is an excellent interview. Enjoy! Music featured on this ‘sode: Bear McCreary – Black Box (feat. Joe Duplantier) This program is available on Spotify. It is also available on iTunes or whatever they call it now, where you can rate, review, and subscribe.

Gotta Blast! Debi Derryberry is an icon in the voice acting business and has a resume that is equally impressive.

God of War Laufey, Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph Update, Silent Hill: Townfall, hey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Masters of the Universe movie is finally here, and it lands a lot closer to Guardians of the Galaxy than anyone expected. This week we break down the live action He-Man swing in full, from Nicholas Galitzine's early Chris Pratt energy as Prince Adam to a Skeletor performance that turns into the most fun anyone has had hiding Jared Leto behind a mask, then we tear through the biggest gaming week of the year across three separate showcases. We rank PlayStation State of Play, Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase, and the order might surprise you. Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey carry the PlayStation side, Summer Game Fest leaves us cold outside of Guild Wars 3 and the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, and Xbox makes the strongest argument for itself in years with Gears of War, a slicker Fable, Clockwork Revolution and Halo Campaign Evolved running on Unreal Engine. We close with the new Xbox exclusivity push, what AI showing up in Crazy Taxi could mean, and a Dungeon Crawler Carl recommendation worth your time. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and Best of 2026 So Far 02:30 Masters of the Universe Movie Review 23:30 Final Grades for Masters of the Universe 25:23 PlayStation State of Play: Wolverine and God of War Laufey 36:41 Summer Game Fest Reactions 45:16 Xbox Games Showcase: Fable, Gears, Halo and More 1:01:26 Ranking All Three Showcases 1:05:08 Network Update and Weekly Recommendations Key Takeaways Masters of the Universe leans fully into its cheesy 80s cartoon DNA, and that commitment is exactly why the one liners and over the top tone work instead of feeling forced. Skeletor is the surprise of the movie, with the bone effects and tuned voice landing as a cackling, failing upward villain, and the Evelyn dynamic adds a real layer to him. Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey were the PlayStation standouts, with Laufey's faster, more aerial combat and direct ties back to the 2018 God of War opening the door to new mythologies. Summer Game Fest underwhelmed overall, though Guild Wars 3 reads like a serious MMO contender with no subscription and no battle pass, and the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake got real excitement. Xbox made the loudest case for its own brand, leaning into true exclusives, with Gears of War, a more polished Fable delayed to February 2027, Clockwork Revolution, and Halo Campaign Evolved moving to Unreal Engine for a July 28 release. The new Xbox direction raises bigger questions, from undoing the Game Pass price increase to Crazy Taxi becoming an early test case for AI as a development tool. Quotes "Idris Elba, eternally a badass. I just love that dude." On Skeletor: "almost like an evil drag queen laughing and cackling 80s cartoon Skeletor." "People say the gaming console wars is over. No, it's not, because that's what drives us, dammit." "Don't skip any Geek Freaks." On AI in Crazy Taxi: "If you laid off anybody for AI, then go screw yourself."

Natalie Lander was inspired to become an actress by watching her dad, David L. Lander, who was best known for playing “Squiggy” on Laverne & Shirley. Natalie has built a résumé that includes a wide range of credits as both a performer and creator.On camera, Natalie has had recurring guest star roles on The Middle, Lopez, and Major Crimes. Other guest-starring credits include Grey's Anatomy, Étoile, 13 Reasons Why, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Castle, Hannah Montana, and more.She voiced “Goldie” on Disney Jr.'s Goldie & Bear and “Stargirl” in DC's Justice League franchise. She's also voiced roles in prominent video games such as Saints Row, Final Fantasy, God of War, and Fire Emblem.If you were a fan of the MTV competition show Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods, you may remember Natalie, who placed fifth in her effort to play Elle Woods on Broadway. She later wrote a one-woman show about that experience, Legally Brunette: The Search for Myself, which has had both West Coast and East Coast premieres.Most recently, Natalie completed a run of her new show, Earth to Squiggy, at the Garry Marshall Theatre, in Burbank, California, which she co-wrote, and is set to the music of her father and Michael McKean, who played Lenny on Laverne & Shirley.For the record, I've known Natalie for a couple of decades from when she sang on a demo of a song I wrote and produced with the composer, Rachael Lawrence.

We return with a large discussion on all the gaming presentations this week ( recorded before the Nintendo Direct). We talk about the games from the Summer Games Fest, Playstation State of Play, and the Xbox showcase. We go deep on the nonsense of "fans" reaction to the the God of War. We also rant on the state of Marvel Rivals as well. I know its long. We missed you too.

What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols.

It's the summer of the delay. This week Raz and Jake break down two tactical shooters moving in opposite directions — Hell Let Loose: Vietnam getting pushed back to August after a rough beta, and Wardogs pulling its early access UP (something you basically never see) — and what each move says about a studio's confidence. Then it's Summer Game Fest: the turn-based Star Wars Zero Company that's right up Raz's alley, the surprisingly good-looking Lords of the Fallen 2, and the story everyone's actually arguing about — God of War: Laufey, where Sony takes Kratos out of the lead and hands the axe to his late wife Faye. Creator David Jaffe called it live: "this is not God of War." We get into whether dropping your icon is a bold swing or brand suicide, why the shooter genre feels stale and dead right now, and why most video games — yes, even in your favorite genre — just suck. Two friends, real takes, no script. 0:00 - Intro & the Summer of the Delay 1:27 - Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta — what's broken 7:00 - Why the HLL: Vietnam delay to August is the right call 10:02 - Wardogs pulls its date UP (you never see this) 13:49 - Plot twist: Team17 publishes both games 15:57 - The shooter genre is stale and dying 20:14 - "These devs actually play video games" 26:30 - Summer Game Fest & why most games suck 29:59 - Keighley, Highguard & the single-player pivot 39:35 - Star Wars Zero Company — turn-based tactics 53:50 - Lords of the Fallen 2 reaction 57:23 - God of War: Laufey — they took Kratos out 1:04:23 - A 20-year fan: "I wanna play as Kratos" 1:23:04 - DMZ tomorrow on Patreon + shoutouts _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

It's the summer of showcases, and PlayStation jumps right in with two of its strongest offerings. Sony started off showing one of the most anticipated games of the year, Wolverine!

This week on PREVIOUSLY ON… Rosie is joined by producers Aaron and Abu to discuss the latest stumble in the Avengers: Doomsday marketing rollout: the underwhelming Dom Latveria Coffee pop-up at SXSW London and the Russo brothers' comments at an AGBO panel later that evening. Next, they discuss the shocking news that The Mandalorian and Grogu suffered a massive second-weekend drop off at the box office, while Obsession and Backrooms continue to dominate and break records. Then they turn to the gaming side of things and break down two of the biggest gameplay reveals from Sony's State of Play, Insomniac's Wolverine and God of War: Laufey, the surprise third installment in the Norse saga.
