We've got a bit of a musical legend in the house today for the guestmix! Here's some words from the man himself Lately I've been getting back into playing a lot more vinyl-only sets after spending the last few years deep in film scoring and studio work. I will be getting back out playing more shows this year, so this mix felt like a good snapshot of where my head is at musically right now. I've also been putting a lot of energy into my label PRONTO, which has become a home for music from artists and friends like Marcellus Pittman, Osunlade, Rick Wade, Art Of Tones, Oliver Dollar and Make A Dance. I'm currently working on a new project with Osunlade called Nomadics that I'm really excited about. Outside the club world, I've had music in the new Jackass film and the latest Farrelly Brothers movie, plus I recently finished scoring a new feature starring Ron Perlman and Theo Rossi. Before all of that I spent years making music for Grand Theft Auto which was honestly one of the wildest chapters of my career. This mix is just a bunch of records I love, Chicago roots, deep house, disco, weird late-night stuff and a few curveballs. I also recently got to remix Joe Smooth's “Promised Land” for DJ International, which was a pretty surreal full-circle moment for a kid originally from Chicago. Hope you enjoy it. James @jamescurd

In deze aflevering van Side Quest bespreken we de game van het moment: Subnautica 2. Sjaak is er letterlijk in gedoken en zeer positief over de game, al is het nog duidelijk een early access-titel. Verder is Sjaak ook gedoken in een andere game met mogelijk een nog beladenere achtergrond: Zero Parades for Dead Spies. Daarnaast schuift onze gloednieuwe reviewer Boj aan om te vertellen over Titanium Court, een indietitel die zeker de moeite waard is. Tom blijft Marathon spelen en Kees van der Spek kijken, maar een discussie over Euphoria seizoen 3 komt ook voorbij.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Ryan Weaver, and special guest Jay Brandstetter from the internet history podcast I'm From the Internet. We bring you the thrilling conclusion of our look at Jack Thompson's personal war against Rockstar and Take-Two and, subsequently, his legal career. This time, the publishers of Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt, and Bully take the fight to Jack, preemptively suing him to keep him from blocking the release of Manhunt 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV. We also cover Jack's disbarment and reflect on his legacy as a crusader against violent video games. Topics discussed include: a Steven Seagal interlude, Thompson goes down fighting, some people don't care for naughty words, and the panic over video games passes Jack by, and how a bad lawyer helped secure video games as a creative medium. For more on SpyHunter: Nowhere to Run, a video game tie-in to a Spy Hunter movie that never got made starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpyHunter:_Nowhere_to_Run.Read Jack's countersuit to Rockstar/Take-Two here: Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. v. John B.

2nd Opinion Podcast topic dump(living document for show topics add as you find)5-17-2026Best Buy tells affiliates it's starting GTA 6 pre-orders next week, sparking speculation that a new trailer is comingDuring a livestream earlier today, YouTuber Frogboyx1Gaming was checking his phone when he received an email from Best Buy's affiliate program. The email informed him that a pre-order campaign for physical copies of Grand Theft Auto 6 would take place from May 18 to 21, with affiliates eligible to receive 5% for each sale they link to.Link to Article: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/best-buy-tells-affiliates-its-starting-gta-6-pre-orders-next-week-sparking-speculation-that-a-new-trailer-is-coming/Capcom just sold more games than in any year in its history..In total, Capcom sold 59.07 million games during the business year, up from 51.87 million in the year prior. This figure was driven overwhelmingly by sales of Resident Evil games. Notably, Resident Evil Requiem, released in February, sold nearly 7 million units by the end of March.Capcom said 83.7% of its game sales came from older ‘catalog' titles, while a huge 93% of the games it sold were digital download versions.Looking forward, the company said it anticipates net sales of 210,000 million yen and operating profit of 83,000 million yen, which would result in ten consecutive years of record high profit for the company.https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/capcom-just-sold-more-games-than-in-any-year-in-its-history/Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Director Has Controversial View on Game LengthLink:https://gamerant.com/star-wars-fate-of-the-old-republic-game-length/ 007 First Light Has Officially Gone GoldLink: https://gamerant.com/007-first-light-gone-gold/ “2nd Opinion Game Recommendations”(Recommend 2 or three games that people may not have played or should be playing)
The monthly video gaming briefing from GameBurst documents significant industrial milestones alongside ongoing corporate restructuring across major publishers. Leading the news, Subnautica 2 has launched into Early Access today on PC and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, the title includes four-player cooperative mechanics and an updated Unreal Engine 5 foundation. The release follows a protracted development period marked by internal leadership disputes and legal conflict involving its publisher. In corporate developments, Capcom has reported record annual performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, with 59 million total units sold. The results were driven heavily by Resident Evil Requiem, pushing the franchise past 200 million lifetime sales. Separately, retail data suggests pre-orders for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6 are imminent, prompting industry speculation ahead of Take-Two Interactive's quarterly earnings call. Further updates include Nintendo's decision to bring forward the theatrical release of the live-action Legend of Zelda film to April 2027, alongside the expansion of the Nintendo Switch Online service to include five additional Virtual Boy titles. Sony also confirmed the addition of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Outlaws to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers. The update concludes with the panel's Picks of the Week, covering Mixtape, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and contemporary tabletop gaming. #gameburst Featured Video Links Quinns Quest Reviews: Stonetop
WE ARE BACK WITH THE NERDY NEWS!!!Scary Movie 6 is on the way, and we can't help turning that one headline into a bigger question: what is comedy allowed to be in 2026? We dig into why the franchise feels like a throwback to early-2000s chaos, how audiences react to “anything goes” humor now, and whether the culture is actually moving past peak cancel discourse or just renaming it.Then we jump into the fun stuff: movie release dates, sequel overload, and the long list of future blockbusters, from The Batman Part 2 and Avengers: Secret Wars to Beyond the Spider-Verse, Shrek 5, Sonic 4, Minecraft 2, and Frozen 3. The Nintendo corner gets its own spotlight too, with The Legend of Zelda landing earlier than expected and a Star Fox movie confirmed. We talk big-picture potential for a Nintendo cinematic universe and why surprise reveals still matter.TV and gaming bring the rest of the nerdy news energy, with updates on HBO's Harry Potter series, Chainsaw Man Season 2, Vision Quest on Disney Plus, Euphoria Season 3 chatter, and My Adventures With Superman. On the gaming side, we hit new releases like Neverness to Everness and Invincible Versus, plus remasters and reboots, before venting about GTA 6 timelines, billion-dollar budgets, and why pre-orders make us nervous. We also get into the Steam Controller selling out instantly and how anti-scalper systems should be the standard.If you like fast, opinionated entertainment news with real debates and side quests, press play, then subscribe, share the episode, and leave us a review.

Send us Fan MailSeason 17's halfway to the finish line, and the TGTPTU boys are back from break revving their engines, ready for the next four in their “hack” director line-up. Jack's pick coming in third is Ron Howard, starting with his first film in the big chair, the “smash-‘em-up” smash success (for a Roger Corman feature) GRAND THEFT AUTO (1977). Howard's only feature to co-write or to co-star in as director, the then-Happy Days star cut his teeth on GTA (no relation to the videogame) coming off the success as leading man-boy in the preceding Corman car chase flick Eat My Dust (1976). As part of Howard's deal with Corman, the success of EMD put the boy who once played Opie Taylor in TV's The Andy Griffith's Show in charge of first and second units, stunt coordinators, helicopters, and his kin/fellow actors brother Clint Howard and father Rance Howard—all this on the day after Ron's 23rd birthday. GTA's plot follows young elopers played by Howard and Nacy Morgan (who might be best known as John Ritter's first wife), who've stolen Morgan's father's Rolls-Royce to avoid the pressure of her pseudo-arranged marriage to a rich dweeb. This theft leads Morgan's father, a prominent citizen about to run for major office, to have his security detail retrieve his car (and daughter). Morgan's jilted dweeb upon learning he's not to be betrothed assumes she's been kidnapped and calls a local radio station to put a bounty on her safe return before stealing a car to give chase himself, causing his wealthy mother to call the same station to offer a separate bounty for her son's safe return. From there, cars go crash, clang, boom, and pow. Start peeling off your lead paint and start snacking on its sweet goodness to revel in this 70's film concept of comedy during what the hosts generally agree is a second-screener. This ep, Ryan turns his head cold to his advantage as a radio announcer; Jack reveals this and Solo (2018) are the only Howard movies he's seen prior; and Thomas and Ken recommend (re)listening to the Any Which Way You Can episode and dunk hard on regular Howard collaborating producer Brian Grazer's hair. CORRECTION: Jonathan Demme's film for Roger Corman wasn't Handle with Care (nor was it Woody Allen's Radio Days) but Caged Heat (followed by Crazy Momma) when Demme was giving Howard some Corman-related advice.

In today's Daily Fix:A reported Grand Theft Auto 6 leak from Best Buy suggests the game will go up for pre-order this Monday, and that suggests a new trailer could be dropping very soon. Several gaming influencers have reportedly received an email with details about a GTA 6 pre-order date at Best Buy. It would make sense to pair the official announcement with a GTA 6 Trailer 3, but no announcement has been made by Best Buy or developer Rockstar Games. The last trailer debuted a little over a year ago. In other leak news, prominent Ubisoft leaker j0nathan claims he has revealed the first image from Assassin's Creed Hexe, along with a few details about the game's characters. And finally, director Matt Reeves has confirmed Scarlett Johansson has joined the cast of The Batman — Part 2, but has not revealed the character she'll play.And as part of IGN's 30th anniversary celebration, we're giving away 30 free IGN Live tickets a day.

The internet fired the first shot this week when a viral post claimed it's “unattractive” for grown men to play video games. Naturally, The Rizzuto Show treated this like a matter of national importance. Is gaming just another hobby like golf, fishing, or watching football all Sunday… or is there genuinely something suspicious about a fully grown adult with six monitors and a glowing gaming throne screaming into a headset at 2AM?The gang breaks down the entire debate, including whether hobbies should define attractiveness, why fish pictures on dating profiles are apparently controversial now, and whether GTA VI is about to destroy productivity across America. Rizz admits he's probably diving back into gaming when the new Grand Theft Auto drops, while Rafe unpacks childhood trauma from being forced to watch his dad dominate Sega Genesis speed runs. Honestly, therapy probably would've been cheaper.Then things take a hard left turn into celebrity chaos during Crap on Celebrities. Ted Turner's death sparks a conversation about one of the wildest résumés in media history — from founding CNN and TBS to owning wrestling companies, sports teams, bison herds, and apparently preparing an actual apocalypse broadcast tape for the end of the world. Because nothing says “media visionary” quite like having a backup hymn ready for nuclear annihilation.Elsewhere in this comedy podcast, Robert Downey Jr. takes shots at influencer culture, Matthew Lillard continues his unbelievable redemption arc after Quentin Tarantino accidentally rebooted his career by insulting him, and Hayden Panettiere's memoir rollout gets the full skeptical Rizz Show treatment. Plus: Moon reviews the new Lord of the Flies adaptation, the guys debate whether Sting is secretly becoming a billionaire cartoon villain by refusing to leave his kids inheritance money, and Zach Bryan somehow trends after yelling a sketch-comedy quote at a fan.There's also talk about Superman sequels, Hocus Pocus 3, The Bear ending after season five, weird Mother's Day songs, Mr. Beast's unsettling eye situation, and one of the most chaotic porno birthday segments in recent memory. So basically: a totally normal episode of your favorite daily podcast.If you love a daily podcast packed with sarcastic humor, weird news, entertainment gossip, celebrity fails, and the kind of conversations that make you question how this show stays on the air, you're in the right place.

On this week's sode, Xboxes aren't popular in Japan, PlayStation isn't popular with pirates, and Grand Theft Auto 6 isn't popular with brands. We propose some new video game pricing strategies and Peterson reviews Slay the Spire 2.
In today's Daily Fix:A Bank of America analyst thinkgs Grand Theft Auto 6 should retail for $80, if only to help justify the high pricepoint for other games. Bank of America's Omar Dessouky thinks other game companies would have a difficult time justifying $80 for games, at a time in the industry where games are struggling to make their development budgets back and a higher pricepoint would help alleviate some of the struggle. In related GTA 6 news, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick commented on why there's no PC port of the game at launch, and it's because their core audience is on console. Like previous GTAs, GTA 6 is expected to come to PC eventually. And finally, former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime explained what happened with the Wii U, blaming the failure on a slow release schedule of first-party exclusives.

Send us Fan MailSeason 17's second four from a hack director concludes this week with the final film by Edward Dmytryk under discussion, a color saddles-and-stirrups flick WARLOCK (1959). Arguably a better title of ≪L'Homme aux colts d'or≫ in its French-language release, Warlock as a two-hander Western covers the entry into the unincorporated community of Warlock by Henry Fonda's Clay Blaisedell, a legendary gunslinger who owns a pair of golden six-shooters and, separately, the evolution of Richard Widmark's Johnny Gannon from reluctant outlaw cowpuncher to sheriff of Warlock whose prominent citizens earlier lacking a sheriff had contracted Blaisedell to clean up. Homoerotic tensions arise between Blaisedell and Anthony Quinn's Tom Morgan when Blaisedell decides to pursue romance with a significantly younger woman in lieu of their money-making vigilante partnering ways. Sheriff Gannon's character also finds a love interest as the movie builds toward its final act, a post-shootout shootout between Blaisedell and Gannon with no Morgan to watch the former's back. And no plot summary would be complete without mention of Star Trek TOS's very own DeForest Kelley as “Curley” Burne, a member of Gannon's former gang with some magnetism remaining in the character's moral compass. This week, Thomas expands on a list of movies whose misleading titles lead to disappointment; Ken expresses he's not fonda Fonda in this film; and Ryan soft-shoes the homoerotic tension. We're taking a week off before shifting gears and entering the demolition derby that will be our next four in the 4x4 starting with Ron Howard's debut film Grand Theft Auto.

In today's Daily Fix:The Mandalorian and Grogu is tracking to break a record set by Solo: A Star Wars Story, but that's not technically good news. Mando and Grogu could open to a Disney-era low of $80 million over the Memorial Day weekend. Solo, the spinoff about everyone's favorite spice smuggler, opened to around $84 million over the same weekend back in 2018. But if there's a silver lining, The Mandalorian and Grogu cost almost half of what Solo cost to make. In other news, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed recently that Grand Theft Auto 6 will NOT include real-world product placement, in keeping with the franchise's theme of using fake products.Presented by SAROS.

Roblox, Tetris, Grand Theft Auto, Mario Bros. One of these didn't actually make the top 10. But some titles you wouldn't expect may have. And one I've never heard of.
Identify the exact strategies Sharon and Rob discussed so you can start increasing engagement in your own projects today. Grab our Core Drives in the Wild guide for free professorgame.com/WildCD What if the secret to solving real-world isolation or preventing misconduct wasn't more rules, but better play? Sharon Wood, a veteran gaming executive who helped launch the original Grand Theft Auto, joins us to discuss her shift from commercial hits to "Serious Games" with a scientific edge. We explore the neurological reality that the brain cannot distinguish between real and virtual experiences, making games a potent tool for building empathy and confidence. From memory care apps that reunite families to clinical trials in schools, this episode moves past the "points and badges" surface of gamification to show how progressive mastery actually changes lives. Sharon Wood is a seasoned gaming executive with over four decades of experience spanning sports marketing, entertainment, media, and video game development. Her career began in the fast-paced world of sports and entertainment marketing before she entered the gaming industry in 1996 during PlayStation's early days, where she orchestrated groundbreaking partnerships between major brands like Pepsi and Frito-Lay and video games. Most notably, Sharon launched the original Grand Theft Auto on a modest marketing budget. While defending the controversial title in the media, she consulted with psychologists and discovered something surprising: games could actually provide safe environments for exploring moral concepts rather than encouraging negative behaviors. This revelation changed everything. Inspired by gaming's positive potential, Sharon collaborated with a psychologist around 2012-2013 to create "Luminous," a game designed to help women and girls build self-confidence. Within months of launch, it became a top-five app in 34 countries. This success led Sharon to found Happy People Games (HPG), a company dedicated to creating "serious games": interactive experiences that merge scientific evidence with engaging gameplay to deliver real-world benefits beyond entertainment. Unlike simple gamification with badges and points, HPG builds games that create progressive mastery experiences, harnessing the natural reward response from achievement and channeling it toward positive outcomes. Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

Wizards of the Coast (WotC) is signaling a massive strategic shift toward outsourcing the development of official *Dungeons & Dragons* content to third-party publishers, as evidenced by a recent job post for a “TRPG Publishing Lead”. This role is explicitly tasked with overseeing “externally developed D&D content, including adventures, campaign materials, guides, and artwork”. This change follows internal team restructuring, the adoption of a holistic D&D franchise model, and WotC’s recent decision to actively feature third-party products on D&D Beyond. Although WotC has previously worked with third-party designers for early D&D 5E supplements like “Hoard of the Dragon Queen” and “Princes of the Apocalypse” The practice was largely abandoned in 2016, making this an important new chapter in the company’s relationship with outside publishers. Paizo's Pathfinder launched a new subscription service called Paizo Printables on April 2, offering 3D printable miniature files and accompanying TTRPG content. The service provides two monthly subscription tiers—$4.99 and $9.99—with the higher tier including a welcome pack of 25 minis, a monthly themed pack, and digital rulebooks. Associate publisher Thurston Hillman stated that the primary goal is accessibility, bypassing the delays of physical production, and the new format offers Paizo the freedom to create niche, setting-specific miniatures. Ultimately, Paizo aims to use the platform to introduce exclusive rules content and new ancestries to the game in the future. A new physical and digital bundle is available for the Dune – Adventures in the Imperium RPG by Modiphius, with a portion of the proceeds supporting the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The physical bundle includes the *Agents of Dune Deluxe Starter Set*, the Atreides collector's edition of the *Dune: Core Rulebook*, and an Arrakis-themed dice set. Most of the titles offered in the physical bundle seem to be sold out as of this post. The Kickstarter campaign for LOWLIFE: A DUNGEON DEGENERATES ROLE PLAYING GAME, by Sean Äaberg and Goblinko, is currently live and heading toward its funding goal. The project is a major expansion of the Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom board game world, creating a full TTRPG described as “Grand Theft Auto meets Game of Thrones” and focused on “low drama” stories of survival in the dark fantasy continent of Bödengärd. The game utilizes a customized Old School Renaissance (OSR) engine with a d20 roll-low mechanic and features simultaneous, deadly combat. Key mechanics include tracking “Meat & Morale” as a combined resource—where the spirit often breaks before the body—and using “Heat” to track the players’ wanted level with local authorities. Core reward tiers include the *LowLife Core RPG Book*, the Doomed Life expansion (to bridge the RPG and board game), and world guides. #dnd #paizo #dunerpg #lowliferpg Paizo Printables: https://store.paizo.com/paizoprintables/ Paizo Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/pathfinder-second-edition-bundle-at-center-world-paizo-inc-books LowLife RPG: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanaaberg/lowlife-a-dungeon-degenerates-role-playing-game Dune Bundles: Physical – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/1G1KE9 Digital – https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/WO4PBA Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ http://www.rcharvey.com Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

So cool Open-World-Titel sein können, so ermüdend ist auch das Abarbeiten der immer wiederkehrenden Fragezeichen auf der überdimensionalen Karte. In unserem Panel-Talk auf der Caggtus gehen wir der Frage nach, ob der Trend zu immer größeren Maps seinen Zenit überschritten hat. Nach den ersten Eindrücken von Metro 2039 diskutieren wir, ob die Reihe künftig noch offener werden sollte oder ob die Rückkehr zur dichten, linearen Atmosphäre der bessere Weg ist. Außerdem stellen wir uns die Frage, ob Branchen-Giganten wie GTA oder Assassin's Creed auch als stringente, rein lineare Erfahrungen funktionieren könnten – oder ob ihre Identität untrennbar mit der Sandbox verbunden ist.

In this episode of Epic Realms, we sit down with musician, author, and board game designer Brady J Sadler for a deep dive into his life and creative journey. From his early influences in music and gaming to the unexpected twists along the way, Brady shares how his path was anything but traditional. We talk about his first attempt at college and how it fell apart thanks to Grand Theft Auto, and how he later found his way back by working as a janitor at a college while pursuing creative writing. During this time, he was also writing his first book and performing in the metal band Lorenguard. Brady also takes us behind the scenes of his work at Fantasy Flight Games, including collaborating with legendary game designer and Epic Realms alumni Corey Konieczka. We explore how music shapes his storytelling, and dive into his latest project that brings his novels into the world of board games through Kickstarter.

It's only been 2 years since her last episode, but Mayanna Berrin returns for her 4th episode as we once again get to catch up and talk about her latest works! We cover the biggest thing that's happened since our last episode in 2024, and that is the critically acclaimed video game, Dispatch. Mayanna was a writer for the game, as well as the voice actor for the character of Coupe. We talk about how she got started with AdHoc Studios and found her way into both the writing and voice acting side of things. Mayanna and I talk about the game, some of the development, her role as a writer, finding her voice for Coupe, and we discuss a few of the choices people can make in the game (and yes, there are spoilers). Mayanna and I then talk about her Kingdom Hearts podcast that she co-hosts, Simple and Clean. We talk about how it came to existence, the planning that goes into the podcast, and we touch on what could come first - Kingdom Hearts 4 or Grand Theft Auto 6. We then talk about her work as Creative Producer for StoryQuest, an actual play platform for tabletop roleplaying games. We discuss what she does, and her continued work in the TTRPG space.

Suspect arrested in January Grand Theft Auto
Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! After a few month hiatus Colin returns to the hosting chair, along side Josh of course. Together, they discuss the most recent round of PlayStation hardware price hikes and speculate on what this could mean for the launch of PS6 and the impending launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. From there, Josh and Colin dig into a new game that has been getting quite a bit of media attention lately, Crimson Desert. The contentious initial reviews and impressions of Crimson Desert, mixed with some truly positive analysis and recommendations from players make Crimson Desert a great flash point for examining the do's and don'ts of modern game design. Would you play a game that made you initially tap X to run in 2026? What if it's platinum was still unobtained and was speculated to be over 300 hours? Or, does none of that matter because the point of something like Crimson Desert is to allow you to get lost and build your own stories and adventures in its sandbox? On top of all of that Josh and Colin of course get into some Platinum shout outs, and what they've been playing. Josh has been trying his hand at the aforementioned Crimson Desert and unsurprisingly has quite a bit to say about it. Both Josh and Colin sunk their teeth into Resident Evil Requiem, and Colin has spent a lot of time in the walking sim / graphic novel territory with both Telltales: The Expanse, and Star Trek: Resurgence. As always, we hope you enjoy the discussion. Thank you for listening!

Dave: Iron Man #3 (Josemaria Casanovas) Alex: Superman #36 (Rod Reis) American Caper Interview: Producer & Additional Writing Lazlow, Editor Shelly Bond, and Finishes Chris Anderson 1. Dan Houser described American Caper as being fueled by his fascination with “hypocrites, sociopaths, political idiots, dysfunctional families, and violence.” When you first saw the concept for this story, what immediately stood out to you as something that felt especially relevant to the moment we're living in? 2. The series pulls together a wild mix of characters. A Mormon hitman, a gambling-addicted lawyer, escaped convicts in love, a billionaire playing cowboy. How did you approach balancing such a large ensemble so the story feels chaotic in a good way rather than overwhelming? 3. Verona, Wyoming feels like a pressure cooker where crime, politics, and personal drama all collide. What was important to you in making this small town feel believable while still allowing it to host such extreme characters and situations? 4. The book leans hard into satire, sometimes feeling like it's taking shots at every side of the political spectrum. Was there ever a concern about walking that line between satire that provokes thought and satire that might alienate readers? 5. The story's interconnected crimes and morally gray characters gave me flashes of crime epics like 100 Bullets, where one event ripples across many lives. When building a narrative this tangled, how do you keep track of the cause and effect between characters? 6. Lazlow, your background includes storytelling in massive open-world games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Did working on a comic require a different approach to pacing and structure compared to interactive storytelling? 7. (Fun question) If each of you had to survive in Verona, Wyoming for a week, which of these characters would you trust the most to have your back, and which one would you avoid at all costs?
In today's Daily Fix:Former Overwatch boss Jeff Kaplan has some advice for gamers who complain about games they'll never play: 'Shut the f*** up. No one cares.' The harsh words came during a 10-hour livestream showcasing his new project, The Legend of California, a first-person survival game set during California's Gold Rush period. In other news, Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem is now the franchise's fastest-selling game, with now 6 million copies sold since its launch in late Febrary. And finally, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight's release date has been moved up, from May 29 to May 22. This release window was previously taken up by Grand Theft Auto 6, which was delayed to later this year.

As Grand Theft Auto VI begins to lock in its November 19th release date, we're already started to see publishers scramble with their release plans. A recent report out of The Verge firms up that Xbox, like much of this industry, will be attempting to evade the blast zone. As such, they are moving some games up and there's a chance others fall out of the year. Joining Matty this week is Last Stand's own Brad Ellis to talk about everything from Halo Campaign Evolved to Gears Of War: E-Day as we debate and discuss the respective windows of these games. The main question that lingers in our head is if Xbox is avoiding Grand Theft Auto, does that leave December as an option? If not, can all of their 2026 calendar make it out in the anniversary year or would it be best to delay some games into early 2027 for additional polish and breathing room?

Greetings from Pilda,It is the coldest January in thirty years. Outside my window, the thermometer is dropping, and I have just finished hauling 150kg of heating pellets into the bunker. It is the perfect atmosphere for what we need to discuss today.For years, we have been documenting the slow, bureaucratic rot of the Russian Empire. We called it the “Rotting Cake”—a structure that looked impressive from the outside but was being eaten alive by corruption from within.Well, I have bad news. The cake is gone. The rats have finished it.We have now entered the Warlord Era.In this episode of The Eastern Border, we are no longer looking at a state. We are looking at a dark, geopolitical anime where the laws of physics and logic have been suspended. The “Vertical of Power” has collapsed into a collection of feudal tribes, each led by a warlord more insane than the last.The World Boss Wakes Up While the Kremlin was busy arguing about “traditional values,” the United States decided to play Grand Theft Auto. In the span of 48 hours, they kidnapped the President of Venezuela and announced plans to put a “Golden Dome” over a newly purchased Greenland. The “Multipolar World” is dead. The Sheriff is back in town, and he is drunk.The Grinch and the Cucumber Meanwhile, France—yes, France—has started seizing Russian oil tankers. Specifically, a tanker named “The Grinch” (you cannot make this up). The Russian response? Impotent rage on Telegram. Why? Because they can't afford to fight back. The “Cucumber Index” has spiked 30% in three weeks. The economy is eating itself.The Spiritual Psychosis But the real horror is in the trenches. We read the diaries of soldiers who are trapped in the “Red Marker Trap”—dying in villages that their commanders have already marked as “captured” on the map. We meet the “Shashlik Commandos”—elite bureaucrats who go to the rear to eat barbecue and steal tractors. And we listen to the “Berserkers” like Yuri Yevich, who are now screaming that the war is actually against “Satanic Space Bears” and that the only solution is… ice axes.The State is dead. Long live the Tribe.In this episode:The Global Humiliation: From Maduro to the Grinch.The Techno-Rot: Why the “Toilet Warlords” can't build drones but can brick your iPhone.The Meat Grinder: Strelkov's letter from prison revealing that Putin has killed more men in one village than WWII.The Escape: Why the “Good Russians” are finding the doors to the West locked tight.Happiness is Mandatory.
