Modern Warfare 4 got revealed, 007 First Light is finally out, and the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta dropped — so naturally we spent an episode on the franchise we swore off, a Bond game that isn't quite Hitman, and a beta that can't hold a frame rate. We get into the HLL: Vietnam open beta (the rubber-banding, the keybinds that won't stick, the studio's track record) and whether it's worth grabbing at the June 18 launch. Then 007 First Light: it's sitting at 88 on Metacritic and "best Bond since GoldenEye," but is it actually a let-down if you came in expecting Hitman? We break down why the reviews and the disappointment can both be right. Then the big one — Modern Warfare 4. Korea-but-modern is a genuinely cool setting, Ballistic Authority gunplay, DMZ is back, it skips last-gen. We also get into the death of the Warzone era, where extraction shooters go next (Tarkov, Arc Raiders), and a detour into Elden Ring. And we close on Aliens.gov: the site the UFO community thought was disclosure, that turned out to be something very different. Two friends, zero corporate takes. Jake's still open to it, Raz wants the whole thing to burn. 0:00 - Intro & what's on the docket 1:40 - Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta — first impressions 8:54 - Will it survive a rough launch?

Another episode in May can only mean one thing... another episode without both Jesse and Josh. Jesse had to sit through two awful movies last week and decided to abandon Josh as he talks the worst James Bond of them all, Pierce Brosnan. Luckily, returning guest Kelly joins Josh to attempt to defend 1995's Goldeneye. Can Kelly sway Josh's hate of this film with a great Pierce Brosnan Bond performance and grand action scenes? Or will Josh corrupt Kelly with an abysmal score and ugly BMW?Most importantly they will decide if Goldeneye is a bloody good film...We encourage everyone to watch along while you listen and make sure to comment and let us know what you think.

'The name is Bond, James Bond.' Het is een van de meest iconische quotes uit de film- en gamegeschiedenis. Maar wat maakt een Bond-game nou écht goed? Draait het puur om pakkende voice-lines, gadgets, en de glimmende sportwagens, of gaat het toch dieper dan dat? Dat leggen Joe van Burik, Jochem Visser en Jelle Maasbrach uit aan Donner Bakker in deze speciale aflevering van All in the Game, waarin natuurlijk GoldenEye 007, maar ook Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough en andere EA-games rond de geheim agent langskomen, evenals die van Activision. Én ze blikken vooruit op de aanstaande Bond-game: 007 First Light. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Je hoort hem bijna dagelijks in de Tech Update met het laatste nieuws over digitale technologie, en gaat daar in De Grote Tech Show (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld. Daarnaast maakt hij onder meer de podcast All in the Game, voor iedereen die meer wil horen over videogames.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
James Bond's Real Superpower isn't what most people think. Everyone remembers the gadgets — the Aston Martin, the exploding pen, the watch. But Bond's true edge is something far more powerful. In this episode, Dan and Tom of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies break down James Bond's situational intelligence — and why it matters more than any gadget Q ever built. Bond reads rooms, people, and danger faster than anyone else. That's his superpower. We explore key moments across the Bond movie franchise. From Dr. No to Casino Royale, Bond wins by reading human behavior. Not by hacking. Not by technology. By understanding the situation. And we find James Bond's real superpower.
A dry wedding somehow turns into a Venmo invoice, which should already tell you where this episode is headed. The boys get into Jose's return from podcast exile, Chase's suspicious vodka-water status, Jason doing Vegas "for the gram," cold draft sake, GoldenEye screen-watching allegations, Civilization all-nighters, Kevin being one Minecraft download away from inner peace, and a shocking amount of plant talk thanks to Jose's North Florida Flora shirt. Plus, the 2000s comedy bracket brings The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Bruce Almighty, Super Troopers, and Borat into the ring without spoiling who moves on.
Bienvenue dans RetroGame+, l'épisode de rattrapage de NewGame+ qui revient sur d'anciens épisodes... en compagnie de ceux qui n'étaient pas encore là quand ils ont été enregistrés. Ce soir, Ace Bunny anime, Hkr et Brad jouent les invités de leur propre passé. Les 5 sujets du soir : 1. Consoles portables - retour sur l'épisode 5, saison 1 (déc. 2022) L'avenir des consoles portables était incertain en 2022 : Steam Deck tout juste lancé, marché de l'émulation naissant. En 2026, la situation a radicalement changé. L'Odin 3 qui atomise un Steam Deck et équivaut à un Mac M2. GameHub qui fait tourner des jeux PC sur Android. GTA V à 60fps sur mobile. La Switch 2 et ses portages bluffants, FF7 Rebirth en tête. Brad, team émulation iPhone et RetroArch en mode Game Boy GBA dans le train. Hkr, sceptique sur l'uniformisation des catalogues, mais converti à la Game Boy homebrew et à la PS Vita qu'il a rachetée récemment. La Playdate comme seule vraie console portable originale de ces cinq dernières années. Et la vraie question : depuis la 3DS, y a-t-il encore des jeux pensés pour le portable, ou juste des portages ? 2. Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem - retour sur l'épisode 10, saison 1 (mai 2023) Le joker de Pascal. Le jeu GameCube de Silicon Knights (studio canadien aujourd'hui disparu après une bataille judiciaire retentissante contre Epic), qu'Hkr attendait depuis son annonce sur N64 et qu'il a finalement fait avant d'écouter l'épisode. Son verdict : une expérience inédite, lovecraftienne, avec des époques qui se superposent (Charlemagne, la Première Guerre Mondiale, Rome antique), un système de santé mentale qui brise le quatrième mur de façon géniale, et une fin un poil trop longue. Un jeu unitaire, sans suite, sans équivalent, qui n'a pas vieilli parce qu'il n'a jamais eu de point de comparaison — et qui en 2026, coincé entre RE9 et Silent Hill F, reste le plus intéressant des trois. 3. Rétrospective Mario Kart - retour sur l'épisode 18, saison 2 (déc. 2023) L'épisode du retour d'Ace Bunny après son hiatus, qui repartait en hiatus deux épisodes plus tard. À l'époque, Mario Kart World n'existait pas et le trio avait imaginé ce que serait le prochain opus. Ace voulait un Double Dash 2. Perdu ! Débat en règle sur la saga : le 64 qui a tout fondé, le Super Circuit GBA sous-estimé, le DS qui déchire, le Wii et son gameplay trop assisté, le 7 qui est "le Mario Kart le plus lambda du monde", le 8 Deluxe et ses DLC qui ajoutent des capitales mondiales et des circuits rétro améliorés avec une OST jouée par un vrai groupe et des solos de guitare. Et Mario Kart World : un parti pris assumé, complémentaire du 8 Deluxe plutôt que remplaçant, qui divise mais qu'on ne peut pas accuser de timidité. 4. Physique vs. dématérialisé - retour sur l'épisode 22, saison 2 (avr. 2024) L'épisode enregistré avec Blaireau et Guigro, dans un contexte de shitstorm Sony autour des DRM. Brad : historiquement physique, converti au démat Steam pour son interopérabilité totale, Steam Deck, Odin 3, Mac, Steam Machine... La bibliothèque Steam construite depuis 17 ans qui suit partout, sur n'importe quelle machine. Acheter sur Switch uniquement pour les IP Nintendo, en physique, pour les revendre ou les prêter. Ne jamais acheter un jeu à plein tarif, attendre les -30% minimum. Hkr : ni physique ni démat, mais coincé entre les deux. Le physique actuel n'est qu'une licence pour télécharger un jeu de 160 Go. Le démat console risque de disparaître avec le store. Steam l'attire mais il ne lance pas les jeux. Il préfère acheter en physique une Xbox One d'occasion pas cher pour jouer aux AA qu'il trouve souvent moins cher que Steam en solde. Skull & Bones à 3€. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown à 20€. Le problème fondamental : la fragmentation des stores (Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, Steam, GOG, Epic) qui rend toute bibliothèque unifiée impossible. 5. Nintendo 64 - retour sur l'épisode 23, saison 2 Le joker de Pedro. Hkr et la N64 : achetée à Noël dans l'année de sa sortie, seule console achetée aussi tôt dans sa vie. Complement parfait d'un Pentium 233 avec 3DFX Voodoo 2. La promesse du multijoueur à 4 avec les potes : Mario Kart 64, GoldenEye, Mario 64, Pilot Wings. Brad et la N64 : une console de cœur, une décennie de souvenirs. F-Zero X vs F-Zero GX, les débats sur l'OST, le gameplay à 60fps. Et la conclusion partagée qui clôt l'épisode : "Vive la 64" Intervenants : Ace Bunny, HKR, BradMontage et mixage : Ace_BunnyTechnique, diffusion et hébergement : Mugen_Pascal
We are now entering the Brosnan era. For many of us millennial, he was the Bond we grew up with. But is he your favorite Bond? Has this movie held up? Is it still the same riveting adventure as it was 30 years ago?

From the desk Pete: "I know. I know. We didn't 'reformat' the show like we said we would which might be why this month's show is delightful chaos. I can't tell you for sure if this is how we're going forward with the show, but the last three episodes have been heavy on the nostalgia and light on the 'movie review'. Frankly, I kinda like it which makes it fun for us and all the more worth doing. To HELL with the listeners. Wait...I don't mean that...I sorry. GMB WUVES they peoples. We do. Honest! Anyway, this month we dive into Captain Pete's nostalgic past and dredge up memories. Listeners are usually cautioned when the curtain is drawn into the mind of Pete but fear not friends, this show is as PC as Bond movies get. Wait, oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we're FINALLY covering a James Bond film. GoldenEye is one of the most important films in the 27-movie franchise and we let you know why in this episode. As Pete likes to say, 'NO SPOILERS,' so I guess you're stuck listening to the show. Aw shucks! We have a bunch of fun ideas for you as we squeeze into our new GMB 2026 pants and once we get off our butts to actually MAKE said promised changes, we think you'll like what you hear. If not, it's all Charlies fault. Pete is innocent of any and all crimes against podcasting."
Joey is back from vacation in Poland, and he even played some sports while he was there. Meanwhile, Sean is in the midst of hockey season and has been moved to defense because no one else on his team is capable.Plus, a barrage of sports updates from the NBA and NHL playoffs, as well as wild developments across the NCAA. And we're breaking down the most memorable levels from the GoldenEye video game.
Pierce Brosnan rescued James Bond from a six-year exile, made him bigger than he'd ever been, and then broke him so badly the franchise had to start over. On this episode we discuss his rather strange run as Bond from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, get into all four films — GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day — and dig into both the series' complicated past and its resurgence after his run as cinema's most famous spy.Pierce Brosnan rescued James Bond from a six-year exile, made him bigger than he'd ever been, and then broke him so badly the franchise had to start over.

This is a podcast explicitly about the craft of writing—except when it's not.For these “Fanning Out” bonus episodes, Ted is joined by his videographer pal Matthew Simmons not to talk about things they've made but rather to revel in the work of others and what it can teach us.Like the show's regular episodes, it's a celebration of human creativity (or something that sounds 71 percent less corny). Here, they're just doing it from the perspective of fans, and they're going beyond books and writing to dive into TV, movies, music, and whatever else they can credibly find an excuse to discuss.There are categories. There are digressions. And today, there is the James Bond movie franchise: the good, the bad, and the ugly—not to mention the unexpected, the uncomfortable, and one all-timer of a video game.Information for requesting transcripts as well as more details about Ted and his books are available on his website, thetedfox.com.
Perfect Dark talk starts at 45:00.Eric and Michael discuss the first half of Perfect Dark, the Rare N64 Classic that lives between the shadow of two monumental games of the FPS genre: Goldeneye and Halo. Does Perfect Dark earn its place as the 7th highest rated game on Metacritic, or is it the victim of a rapidly changing genre?We also talk about selling Metroid Prime 4: Beyond to buy better games, if Exodus or The Expanse has the juice to be the next Mass Effect, and......Hello Kitty Island Adventure?Next Episode: We finish Perfect DarkFollow @StateOfTheSave on Instagram and Bluesky for updates, and catch streams, clips, and highlights on YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.

In this episode, Chris and Anna Lisa are diving into the philosophy of video games with Ian Schnee. Ian is a teaching professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Philosophy Department at the University of Washington. In this episode, we cover:- Why new art forms (from Confucius's time to the Reagan era) always face skepticism.- A look at the philosophical depth of games like Celeste.- Common myths about video games and violence while exploring the actual cognitive benefits of play.- How apps like Duolingo can sometimes simplify complex human values.- Why TRL is providing teen gaming spaces to foster social-emotional growth and equitable access.Whether you're a philosophy professor, a teen gamer, or someone who hasn't forgiven your mom for taking away GoldenEye 007 in the 90s (Chris), this conversation is for you.Links & ResourcesWatch on YouTube:

In the summer of 2000 the Nintendo 64 was on it's way out. The PlayStation 2, the sucessor to the N64 rival PlayStation, was coming out later that year and the GameCube was a still over a year away from release. The summer of 2000 was probably the last chance the N64 had of seriously competing in the console market before the next console generation was in full swing and boy howdy did Rare release a game to help usher out the N64 on a high note. Joining me this week is YouTuber Jiggylookback to talk about Rare's "sequel" GoldenEye, Perfect Dark. The game was a technical marvel for the time and really pushed the console to it's limits. Perfect Dark took what Rare learned from GoldenEye and expanded upon it. Not just both in terms of tech but also story and atmosphere. Jiggy and I had a great time chatting about Perfect Dark, why it's still looked on so fondly, where it could improve and also we ask the question... Why the name Elvis?

Jeff survived the family plague (barely), and this week we're recording live — poems and all. This episode kicks off with a live poem creation featuring the Steam Deck and Skate 3. From there, Jeff shares how the Steam Deck was his lifeline while sick on the couch: full Steam library plus PS5 streaming, all from under the blankets. We compare it to the consoles that shaped our lives — the Game Boy SP, the PSP, and why portability matters more than ever for gaming dads. Then we dig into Pokémon Pocketopia on the Switch 2. Jeff's family is all-in and Trevor might not be far behind. We break down what it is (Minecraft meets Pokémon in a post-apocalyptic world), the Switch 2's GameShare feature that lets you play co-op from a Switch 1, and whether this could be the next Animal Crossing for families. Jeff's kid discovered Skate 3 on Game Pass and asked dad for help beating a challenge. 100+ hours of muscle memory kicked in — double kickflips, dark slides, 920s. The kid walked out of the room. Trevor confesses he may have traumatized his own kids at Mario Kart and GoldenEye beyond recovery. We also talk about the "I didn't marry a loser" social media trend — wives pushing back on the incompetent dad stereotype — and what it means that this generation of dads has arrived. Millennial dads are spending three times more quality time with their kids than previous generations. It hit us right in the feels. Finally, it's the debut of New Dad Gaming Questions! A listener sent in a study from 2averagegamers.com: what 10,000 Reddit comments reveal about the adult gaming backlog. The median gamer sits on 100–150 unplayed games, plays 8–10 hours a week, and 75% feel genuinely guilty about it. Adults who can finally afford all the games they want but lack the time to play them. Sound familiar? Welcome to New Dad Gaming.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 182 - Martin Campbell - Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Martin Campbell (CASINO ROYALE, GOLDENEYE, EDGE OF DARKNESS). Faced with limited options for a career as a cameraman in New Zealand, Martin sailed to England, and five years in TV and 51 Tom Jones shows later, Martin transitioned into directing full time. As big fans of Martin's EDGE OF DARKNESS (1985), we didn't miss the opportunity to ask him about the making of the six-part BBC limited series, and we extensively discuss his choices and the challenges he faced. Martin describes the relative freedom the BBC gave him to shoot it, and we learn why he cast Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker in the two lead roles. Martin also reveals how they filmed the show as the scripts came in, and we discuss the alternative ending originally written for the final episode. Plus, Martin reveals why he remade the show as a feature years later in the United States. With two Bond films under his belt, Martin later shares how he was approached to direct GOLDENEYE, and he reveals why CASINO ROYALE was chosen to be grounded in reality. Martin also shares his tips for dealing with studio notes, and he reflects on how, throughout his life, his previous experiences set him up for success for what came next. - Recommended Viewing: EDGE OF DARKNESS (1985 UK TV Series) - This episode is sponsored by Picture Shop & Aputure
Which Caribbean Island Is Right for You? Aruba, Grand Cayman, Dominica, Jamaica & MoreNot all Caribbean islands are created equal — and finding the right one can make or break your vacation. In this episode of All Things Travel, travel advisors Ryan and Julie from Wonder and Beyond Travel break down the best Caribbean islands based on your travel style, so you can stop scrolling Pinterest and start planning.In this episode, you'll discover:Best for First-Timers: Aruba — Why this easy, English-speaking island with predictable weather and US pre-clearance is the perfect Caribbean introduction. Plus, why you won't find a great all-inclusive resort there (and why that's actually a good thing).Best for Families with Young Kids: Grand Cayman — Calm, shallow waters at Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City, the Cayman Turtle Centre, and short airport transfers make this the ultimate stress-free family getaway.Best for Adventure Seekers: Dominica — The Caribbean's most untouched island offers rainforest hikes, geothermal snorkeling at Champagne Reef, canyoning, whale watching, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. Not for the beach-and-pool crowd — and that's the point.Best for Foodies: Jamaica — Jerk chicken from roadside grills, Blue Mountain coffee tours, rum tastings, farm-to-table resorts, and some of the most vibrant culinary culture in the Caribbean. Ryan and Julie also share their top resort picks including Half Moon and GoldenEye.Bonus: Honorable mentions for best beaches, including Turks & Caicos in summer vs. the Dominican Republic in winter — and why Roatan, Honduras might be the Caribbean's most underrated destination.Ryan and Julie also share an exciting client story: an all-concierge Disney Wish cruise for a multigenerational family, and a sneak peek at next week's episode on Iceland.Whether you're a nervous first-timer, a parent wrangling toddlers, a thrill-seeker, or a passionate foodie — there's a Caribbean island with your name on it. Tune in and find yours.
Tomorrow Never Dies was Pierce Brosnan's second outing as British secret agent James Bond. While not quite as warmly received as GoldenEye, it's been more recently hailed as ahead of its time. Is it somehow underrated or does it end up being a sophomore slump?

In today's Daily Fix:Incoming Xbox CEO Asha Sharma was active on social media following last week's bombshell announcement that she would be replacing Phil Spencer. She listed a few gaming bona fides such as her three favorites being Halo, Valheim, and GoldenEye. When pressed if her accounts were being run by artificial intelligence (she was head of Microsoft's CoreAI before joining Xbox), she responded with 'Beep Boop Beep Boop.' In other news, movie producer Roy Lee confirmed that the BioShock movie is still happening, and it will be the next project for director Francis Lawrence once he's done with the next Hunger Games movie. Interestingly, Lee revealed that publisher Take-Two wants the movie's release to coincide with the next BioShock game. And finally, take a peek at the five immersive worlds of the all-new Universal Epic Universe, and one of its featured attractions – Stardust Racers, all at Universal Orlando Resort.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.
When it comes to box office numbers, even 007 can suffer a misfire. Though not a proper bomb, Timothy Dalton's second outing as cinema's favorite superspy, License to Kill, proved lukewarm with moviegoers and critics, closing out the 80s on a sour note and laying the series fallow for another six years until Pierce Brosnon took up the mantle in GoldenEye. But should this odd pairing of revenge espionage and Miami Vice-style crime drama be callously thrown to the sharks? Join Sebastian and Does This Come in Chromium's Matt Anderson as they revel in the glory of a young Benicio Del Toro, mix cocaine with gasoline and celebrate the all-too brief run of the franchise's most underrated James Bond.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: February 111, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E3: Kendra Erika - Behind The BondSHOW SUMMARY:A standing ovation at a Boca Raton restaurant set the stage for a career that would span club anthems, jazz standards, and a daring reinvention shaped by risk and timing. We sit down with Kendra Erika—multiple Billboard Dance Club #1 artist—to map the journey from karaoke nights and Sinatra schooling to a Bond-inspired album and a string of Vegas dates that showcase a new sonic identity.Kendra opens up about the strategy that turned a supposed industry taboo into a win: dropping Self Control during the quiet week between Christmas and New Year's, when the release calendar goes silent. She breaks down how DJ relationships, club spins, and mix shows drive Billboard dance charting, why accolades are confirmation rather than identity, and how consistency is the real magic potion. We also dig into the craft: writing by conversation, capturing melodies on voice memos at midnight, and treating remakes as re-stylizations that honor the original while stamping your own signature. Her new single Golden Eye, produced with Myron McKinley, channels cabaret swing and Peggy Lee's Fever, revealing the “quiet power” at the core of her evolving sound.Beyond the studio, Kendra talks acting projects, reading charts with live bands in Vegas, and grounding herself through golf and Rotary service. She shares a candid take on songs that felt forced during polarizing times, and why letting ideas arrive on their own terms often yields the work that lasts. If you're curious about how artists pivot without losing momentum—or how to turn club credibility into a cinematic, jazz-forward lane—you'll find a smart, generous blueprint here.Stream now, pre-save License To Thrill, and join us for a behind-the-scenes look at a reinvention done right.
