Podcasts about half life

What books, shows or video games have you never finished? What story never finished for you?This week, the Nerd of Godcast explores unfinished TV shows, canceled movies, abandoned video games, incomplete book series, and the fandoms that still leave us wanting more. From A Song of Ice and Fire and The Spider-Verse to ALF and Half Life, we discuss the stories that never got proper endings and why unresolved stories stick with us.Plus, we talk about disappointment, closure, perseverance, and what the Bible has to say about trusting God when life doesn't always provide clear answers.

Justin's got the week off, so Seth steps in as co-host and the conversation does not disappoint. Doug and Seth dig into a Reddit question that sent them both deep into the nostalgia rabbit hole: of all the computer games you played between 1985 and 2010, what's the one you still think about today? Seth goes back to the PC port of Final Fantasy VII — the game that defined the RPG genre for a generation of players who couldn't afford a PlayStation — and StarCraft, the game that proved the internet was both a gift and a curse once Korean players started annihilating everyone on Battle.net. Doug lands on Diablo, Counter Strike, Half-Life, and Team Fortress from what he describes as the best summer of his life, plus Warcraft II and the legendary dorm-vs-dorm Counter Strike leaderboard that consumed an entire semester. Seth adds Morrowind and the Halo 2 university network wars, including the top-ranked player named Mixomatosis who turned out to live three doors down and was simply a different kind of person. The gaming conversation rolls naturally into a deep dive on Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and hero shooter culture — the difference between quick match and competitive, the rage of random teammates, why role-locking exists, and why you absolutely should not be trying out a new character in ranked. But first: Doug's mom has a long history of purging spices from the family pantry, and it explains a lot about his childhood. From there Doug and Seth debate overrated recipes (the dump-and-bake casserole situation has gotten out of hand), wage war over cottage cheese, and discover halloumi together in real time. Underrated picks include millionaire shortbread and candied pecans — two things that deserve far more attention. Plus fair food: dirty, suspect, and somehow perfect. A quick Clair Obscure Expedition 33 check-in leads into the episode's new game: AI or LinkedIn? Doug reads posts and Seth has to guess whether each one is a genuine LinkedIn post or AI generated. The results are both funnier and sadder than expected — especially the guy who timed his lunch at four minutes and 37 seconds because what isn't measured doesn't improve. This week's recommendations: Seth — Taskmaster (free on YouTube, 21 seasons). Five comedians, bizarre tasks, Greg Davies and Alex Horne hosting. One of the best shows you haven't watched yet. Doug — The Backrooms (A24). Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons based on the viral liminal space internet lore. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars. One of A24's highest-grossing films. Go see it. Plus: what even is SCP? Seth explains, and the answer sends Doug down a rabbit hole he didn't budget time for.   Subscribe: youtube.com/mindgappodcast  Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/T3HwyEw5v7  Listen everywhere you get podcasts  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mindgappodcast Merch on Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/67768184  

Nuevo programa de Rejugando cargado de actualidad, recuerdos y muchísimo debate alrededor del gran verano del videojuego. En este episodio repasamos junto a Mario Reyes, Marco y Eva todo lo que está dejando la antesala del Summer Game Fest y los eventos de junio, desde el State of Play de PlayStation hasta el Xbox Showcase y el show de Geoff Keighley. Analizamos qué puede aparecer en este “E3 moderno”, hacemos predicciones, soñamos con anuncios imposibles y recordamos algunos de los videojuegos más importantes presentados en las conferencias de junio desde 2015 hasta hoy. El gran protagonista del programa es Dragon Quest XII. Comentamos a fondo el inesperado regreso del juego tras años desaparecido, el reinicio interno del proyecto, el cambio de tono respecto al concepto original, las declaraciones de Yuji Horii y todo lo que deja el nuevo tráiler mostrado por Square Enix. Hablamos del nuevo diseño artístico tras la pérdida de Akira Toriyama, de las conexiones con la saga clásica, de los cambios de nombre y de cómo Final Fantasy XVI podría haber influido en el rumbo creativo del proyecto. Además, repasamos aniversarios históricos como los 40 años de Dragon Quest, los 20 años de Half-Life 2 o el legado de Splatoon y Street Fighter 6. También recordamos anuncios legendarios de antiguos E3 y Summer Game Fest con títulos como Final Fantasy VII Remake, Death Stranding, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 o Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. En la parte más crítica del programa hablamos del preocupante aumento de precios en la industria: la subida de Steam Deck OLED, el encarecimiento del hardware portátil, la situación de Valve, las dudas alrededor del futuro de las consolas portátiles y cómo cada vez resulta más complicado acceder al videojuego por precio. También repasamos la polémica entre Krafton y los creadores de Subnautica 2, uno de los grandes culebrones recientes de la industria. Y sí, también hay espacio para el hype: hablamos de los rumores más fuertes del verano, posibles regresos como Persona 6, Fable, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Hollow Knight: Silksong o incluso nuevos proyectos de Hideo Kojima y Fumito Ueda. Un episodio muy especial de Rejugando para vivir juntos la previa del gran verano del videojuego, compartir ilusión, analizar la industria sin filtros y prepararnos para una de las semanas más importantes del año para cualquier aficionado a los videojuegos.

Is caffeine really the problem it's made out to be, or is it all in the dose and the timing? In this episode, I break down a major meta-analysis that reveals exactly how caffeine impacts our sleep architecture and what we can actually do about it. Most of us know to avoid coffee close to bedtime, but the lines get blurry when we talk about earlier cutoffs. Topics discussed: - Data on how caffeine impacts total sleep time and efficiency- "Cutoff" time - Factors that extend caffeine's half-life - Oral contraceptives and alcohol drastically change your caffeine metabolism- Dose-dependent recommendations for coffee vs. pre-workout- Practical strategies- Truth about "sleeping just fine" ---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

AI is moving faster than anyone can keep up with, and most people are quietly knackered just trying. In this episode we sit down with old friend and fellow educator Dave Duarte to ask the awkward question: what's actually worth learning when every shiny new tool has the shelf life of a banana? Expect philosophy, paperclip machines, surprisingly creepy smart homes, and a genuinely useful framework for staying authentically human while everything else gets automated.Dave Duarte42courses.com

Heute sprechen wir über einen Indie-Darling aus 2021 der damals mit seiner Ray-Tracing Präsentation und mechanischen Nähe zu Half-Life große Wellen schlug - wir sprechen über INDUSTRIA.Das von Bleakmil entwickelte Erstlingswerk war zu großen Teilen ein Zweimann Projekt und Achtungserfolg, welcher uns in die Nacht des Mauerfalls entführt, um auf dieser Basis eine Geschichte in einem Paralleluniversum zu inszenieren, in welchem die Menschen von einer Künstlichen Intelligenz und dazugehörigen Maschinen überrannt wurden.Warum der Titel bis heute einen Blick wert ist klären wir in der heutigen Folge.Du willst mehr von den Jungs?

Xbox earnings are down as Asha Sharma begins resetting the brand, raising questions about hardware, Game Pass growth, and long-term strategy. We break down the latest Xbox revenue numbers, what they mean for the future of the platform, and whether exclusives need to return to strengthen the brand. We also cover Sony's response to PlayStation DRM concerns, what “digital ownership” actually means, and why the backlash matters more than the feature itself. Plus, Valve Corporation re-enters the hardware conversation with the new Steam Controller, raising bigger questions about the Steam Machine and whether something like Half-Life 3 is needed to drive adoption. Finally, we look at Nintendo's growing Switch 2 lineup, including Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and new Star Fox rumors.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!Rachel Beanland has written three novels (her newest, The Half Life, releases on July 14, 2026 from Simon & Schuster), and she's still surprised by how much each book teaches her. In this episode, we talk about what it actually looks like to challenge yourself as a writer—specifically, her decision to write her latest novel, The Half-Life, in first person for the first time. (As I've recently learned while working on my own novel, it's harder than it sounds, and Rachel has the perfect explanation as to why.)We also get into how personal history shapes fiction (her first novel grew out of a family tragedy from nearly a century ago), why a strong sense of place isn't optional, and what happens when you trust your instincts even when the process feels messy as hell.

Heute fährt die Tram bis nach... Black Mesa! Sebastian und Jochen haben sich ein Ticket für die vielleicht berühmteste Bahnfahrt der Videospielgeschichte gezogen und sind gemeinsam mit Gordon Freeman zu spät zur Arbeit gefahren. Einmal im originalen Half-Life 1 von 1998 und dann nochmal in der Fan-Hommage Black Mesa. Wird sich das anfühlen wie der Tag des Murmeltiers und alles ist absolut gleich? Oder finden sich bei der gleichen Bahnfahrt doch genügend Unterschiede, um nicht erst am Zielbahnhof wieder aufzuwachen? Steigt ein und findet es mit uns heraus!

Everyone knows about Half-Life; it revolutionized first-person shooters and dominated the gaming landscape upon release. One of the many victims of this unfortunate release timing, SiN, is finally making its rightful comeback. While it garnered respectable reviews from critics, it never quite reached the commercial success that it was arguably due. Fast forward nearly 30 years, and SiN is about to make a triumphant return to PC and, for the first time, consoles, courtesy of Nightdive Studios and their remastering expertise in the form of SiN Reloaded. Joining me to talk about what to expect and the journey through development are Grover Wimberly IV (Project Manager/Producer) and Jonathan Barkley, AKA Paril (Lead Programmer and Project Lead.

Alpha, beta minus, beta plus, gamma. Do you know which decay changes mass, which changes identity, and which changes nothing? In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast episode, Mike and Molly finally cover the topic they've been putting off for over a year: atoms and radioactive decay. They build from the ground up, starting with atomic structure, isotopes, and stability, then walk through every type of decay and connect it all back to PET scans and carbon dating.Next episode: The limbic system, emotion, and stressGet started with our resources!

In this episode of Completely Machinima, Phil, Tracy, and Damien dive into “Wallace Breen's Day Off” — a chaotic, meme-filled Garry's Mod machinima that embraces absurdity, cartoon violence, and old-school Source Engine humor.From immature internet antics to Robot Chicken-style sketch comedy, the team explores how this short transforms one of Half-Life's most sinister villains into a hilariously pathetic bureaucrat just trying to enjoy his day off.Along the way, they unpack its Sopranos-inspired ending, hidden easter eggs, and how it reflects both the roots and evolution of machinima as a creative medium.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Intro & classic “Completely Machinima” opening chaos 01:00 – Episode setup & why Phil picked this film 02:00 – What is Wallace Breen's Day Off?

In this episode, we unpack the science behind its brain-rewiring potential, its long-lasting presence in the body, and why some people report powerful effects on focus, memory, and mood. We also get into the risks, unknowns, and why this compound isn't as straightforward as it sounds. If you've been hearing about Dihexa and wondering whether it's worth the attention, this is the breakdown you need.

In this episode, we sit down with Jamie Joy Campbell, a veteran family law attorney from Ohio, to discuss the "half-life" of marriage and how to catch the symptoms of a dying relationship before they become terminal. Jamie shares her unique "Faith Aligned" perspective on why most people don't actually want a divorce—they want a different life—and how being proactive with your "marriage business plan" can prevent a courtroom battle years down the road.Key TakeawaysThe Half-Life of Marriage: Jamie explains her theory that if a marriage ends at year ten, it was likely dying for five years. Understanding this timeline helps couples recognize that "sudden" issues are often years in the making.The "Hard Heart" Phenomenon: Divorce isn't just a legal filing; it's the result of one or both partners' hearts hardening. Jamie discusses how to identify this callousness and the steps required to soften it.Unmet Expectations vs. Reality: Most conflict stems from "unspoken scripts." Jamie breaks down why we project fantasies onto our partners and how to align your expectations for a healthier union.Separation as a Tool for Reconciliation: Why a physical separation doesn't have to mean the end. Jamie explains how space can provide the clarity needed to decide if a marriage is worth rebuilding from the foundation up.The "Business Plan" Approach: Why prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are less about "Plan B" and more about having the difficult, necessary conversations regarding finances, family legacy, and values.Featured Quotes"Divorce is really just a legal piece of paper. What you actually want is to change how you're living. Sometimes you don't need a lawyer; you need a new way to be together." "A healthy marriage is like a rare diamond. You don't just find it; you protect it, you polish it, and you treat it as the high-value asset it is."In This Episode, We Discuss:The "Half-Life" theory of failing marriages.Why cheating is a symptom, not the root cause, of divorce.The difference between needing a divorce and needing a physical separation.The 5-step "Faith Aligned" process for marital unwinding.The emotional and financial cost of grieving a "living death."Why we ignore red flags: "You cannot know what you don't want to know."Using prenups as a business plan for your family's future.Resources MentionedJamie Joy Campbell's Webinar: Navigating Divorce & Spiritual Reconciliation.Register HereFollow Joy Here: FacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeTikTokRecognizing Potential: Marriage coaching for high-achieving professionals.Email: coaching@recognizingpotential.comWebsite: www.recognizingpotential.comVerafy your relationship using the Verafied app hereSKOOL CommunitySEO Keywords: Marriage coaching, relationship advice, family law, avoiding divorce, prenuptial agreements, co-parenting tips, emotional sobriety, Gottman Method, relationship red flags, Christian marriage advice.Support the show

In this episode of the Completely Machinima Podcast, we dive into Hostiles — a stunning Half-Life-inspired machinima short that pushes the boundaries of virtual production, animation, and storytelling.Originally believed to be created in Source Filmmaker, this cinematic piece was actually made in Garry's Mod, challenging assumptions about tools, quality, and creativity in the machinima community.We explore how Hostiles achieves cinematic tension through lighting, sound design, camera work, and animation, while also discussing its deeper impact on perspective, narrative, and audience expectations.

Can Starfield become the next great machinima platform? In this episode of the Completely Machinima Podcast, the team breaks down a fascinating Starfield mod trailer that mixes machinima, virtual production, gameplay cinematics, sci-fi mystery, and mod storytelling.Damien Valentine brings in “Farseer,” a Starfield mod trailer that feels bigger than a simple showcase — part trailer, part cinematic, part environmental story. Phil Rice, Tracy Harwood, and Ricky Grove unpack what works, what doesn't, and why Starfield's modding ecosystem could be a huge opportunity for the future of machinima filmmaking.The discussion covers Starfield mods, cinematic camera tools, game storytelling, sci-fi horror vibes, Bethesda worldbuilding, and whether Starfield has the ingredients to inspire a new wave of narrative-driven machinima.

"Now based in Ireland, @novasdemise is a Lithuanian-born visual artist, producer and DJ. Aside creative direction duties for @doubletakerecords he has studiously, tenaciously developed an individual sound wherein an encyclopaedic enthusiasm for hardcore is intertwined with experimental sound design and influence from the wider continuum of bass music. This counterbalancing of a purist's ear and sonic experimentalism has distilled into ND's own sub-genre of avant-hardcore, exemplified by the track HALF LIFE on DT's Torrent comp. Subterranean atmospherics, industrial ambience, hadal drums and the eerie sound of occasional respiration, the tune exemplifies an effect where deconstruction leads to magnification - a track where it is in absence that legitimate futurity is sighted. As a DJ, ND has played across storied venues like Corsica Studios, White Hotel and Venue MOT, for some of the true pathfinders of contemporary club experimentalism (SYPHEN, Hypoxia, K.O - of which ND is a member). His sets encompass the superlative aptitude for hardcore aforementioned, he brings a library unique in its fuel for exploration of a pummelling darkness, replete with post-club and crossbreed. 2024 has seen the emergence of the duo helveticacock (alongside Double Take colleague vorem ipsum). Combining destructive post-club and hardcore with a pop sensibility and irreplicable, satirical aesthetics, out comes this prodigious twosome."

Listen, there is still bad news. More AI stuff and more studio closings and people losing their jobs. It's still pretty bleak. And it isn't likely to change for quite some time. But, in an effort to not yet again sound like a broken record of just horrible news every week, I'd like to pose a question to you. If you could wipe the memory of any game you've played, so that you could experience it again for the very first time, what would you pick? What game made such an impression on you that going through it again, with a fresh mind and fresh eyes, would be your choice? Half-Life 1/2 were amazing games with mechanics we'd never seen before at the time, but if only your memory of it was wiped, would it be what it was then by playing it today? I had a few picks for myself. Mark Of The Ninja was one. It's a game I've not played in a long time and would likely feel like playing it for the first time. Another was Bioshock Infinite (probably Bioshock 1, as well). Those two games, while playing them wouldn't seem at all much different than anything else out there…it's their stories that I want to experience again for the first time. And it's a bit hard for me to find something else like that – although I'm sure they exist. I just can't think of them at the moment. Maybe Braid. Maybe. So let us know what your picks are. And maybe for a little bit we aren't thinking about job losses and AI running up the tab on all our fun stuff and everything else going on at the moment. At least for a little bit. At this point playing ANY Splinter Cell game would feel like I'm playing it for the first time again. Ubisoft, it's been 4,584 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 1,626 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

Episode 289: TechTime Radio: This week, we open with Microsoft's Project Helix, the ambitious “one box to rule them all” promising native PC gaming, Wi‑Fi 7 speeds, and a next‑gen low‑latency controller. With a rumored $1,000 price and a 2027 release window, we dig into whether true backward compatibility across Xbox generations finally makes a premium console worth the splurge. Or should we pass on the New X-box for the rumored Steam Machines? What new gaming machine will be the SNES, and what unit will end up being the Virtual Boy? Then Gwen Way takes over Gadgets & Gear with a packed lineup, starting with the Pen Pulse Smart Ring on Kickstarter—sleep, activity, metabolism, and glucose‑leaning insights with no subscription and a practical sizing kit backed by an on‑time delivery history. We pair that with a hard look at Apple's $599 MacBook Neo hitting Walmart and Amazon, asking whether it's a budget Mac breakthrough or a Chromebook in a fancy suit. Finally, we have a nation‑state iOS exploit framework now circulating in criminal hands. Nathan spotlights Lego's reactive Smart Brick, and closes the segment with a smooth Glenlivet 12 tasting to keep things classy.Full Episode Details:A single box that runs Halo and Half‑Life without hacks? When Microsoft unveiled Project Helix, we dug into what it really means to merge Xbox simplicity with full PC gaming. From native access to Steam, Epic, and GOG to Wi‑Fi 7, a new low‑latency controller, and whispers of Surface‑team handhelds and OEM “Xbox” devices, the pitch is bold. But can a $1,000 hybrid win over builders who already plug their PCs into the living room? We map the business case, the tech hurdles, and the one promise that could flip skeptics into buyers: honest, full‑fidelity backward compatibility across the entire Xbox library.The episode takes a sharp turn into AI safety with a lawsuit tied to Google Gemini, forcing a conversation most platforms sidestep: what happens when users form emotional bonds with chatbots? We talk guardrails, roleplay, and the hard truth that you can't program remorse. If companies market “AI companions,” what duty do they owe when simulation bleeds into support? Expect a candid look at crisis detection, liability, and the growing gap between automated empathy and human care.On the hardware front, Apple's budget‑leaning MacBook Neo shows up at Walmart and Amazon for $599, raising eyebrows about specs, placement, and brand identity. Is it a smart entry point for students and switchers, or a dressed‑up Chromebook in bright colors? Then our Gadgets & Gear feature spotlights the Pen Pulse smart ring—a subscription‑free wearable that tracks sleep, breathing, activity, and even glucose trends. With a real sizing kit, solid delivery history, and early pricing far below Oura, it's a compelling option for anyone tired of monthly fees. We round things out with a smooth pour of Glenlivet 12 and a quick look at Lego's sensor‑packed Smart Brick, asking where innovation ends and cash‑grab begins.If you're curious about the future of gaming platforms, the ethics of AI companionship, and the shifting value equation in laptops and wearables, you'll feel right at home.

A screencast from Chapter 17 in CH 222 entitled “Half-Life”

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch watched a video game movie about a hidden gem called Half-Life 2. It was good. Come hear us talk about it! 

During last year's PEGS Europe, industry experts gathered on a panel to discuss the future of biologic therapeutics. The panel kicked off with a presentation on 50 years of monoclonals, from hybridomas to next-gen antibody therapeutics, followed by a conversation featuring Paul Carter, Ph.D., Genentech Fellow of Antibody Engineering, G. Jonah Rainey, Ph.D., associate vice president of Eli Lilly and Company, and Janine Schuurman, Ph.D., biotech consultant at Lust for Life Science B.V. Moderated by Daniel Chen, M.D., Ph.D., founder and CEO of Synthetic Design Lab, the discussion centered around whether half-life extended peptides will eventually replace multispecific antibodies.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Combine, a producer and DJ whose sound lives at the intersection of engineering precision and creative risk. From growing up in North Wales to building a life between Oregon, touring, and a demanding day job, Combine talks about staying consistent while still pushing his own artistic lane. We dig into why originality isn't optional, why the scene remembers the pace-setters, and how developing your own methods is the only way to build a lasting sound. Combine breaks down his influences, collaboration process, and why chasing trends leads to forgettable music. On the technical side, we get into building tracks from scratch in Serum, using spectrograms and visual tools to solve mix problems, dialing loudness without ugly artifacts, and why kick/sub phase alignment matters for real-world playback. We wrap with DJ life, gear goals, and game influences like Half-Life and Doom.

I'm aware that the background cut off at the end of the show, I didn't want to deal with another 2 hour render, and then another 2 hour upload. Sorry!

This episode is about a game you've definitely heard of but likely never knew was an arcade game. Lemony Vengeance joins the show to talk about his efforts to keep this Valve and Taito arcade collaboration alive. We're talking Gordon Freeman, airboats, gravity guns and headcrabs as we discuss the super rare Half-Life 2: Survivor. How did Lemony bring this Survivor back from its Street Fighter tomb? Is the GabeCube coming to save us? Will there ever be a Half-Life 3? What are some of our scariest game pickups? We also answer some deeply personal arcade collecting questions like how many storage units we own and cover the joys of operating arcade and pinball games for the public.

This week we talk about in-game skins, investment portfolios, and Counter-Strike 2.We also discuss ebooks, Steam, and digital licenses.Recommended Book: Apple in China by Patrick McGeeTranscriptAlmost always, if you buy an ebook or game or movie or music album online, you're not buying that ebook, or that game, or whatever else—you're buying a license that allows you access it, often on a specified device or in a specified way, and almost always in a non-transferrable, non-permanent manner.This distinction doesn't matter much to most of us most of the time. If I buy an ebook, chances are I just want to read that ebook on the device I used to buy it, or the kindle attached to my Amazon or other digital book service account. So I buy the book, read it on my ebook reader or phone, and that's that; same general experience I would have with a paperback or hardback book.This difference becomes more evident when you think about what happens to the book after you read it, though. If I own a hard-copy, physical book, I can resell it. I can donate it. I can put it in a Little Free Library somewhere in my neighborhood, or give it to a friend who I think will enjoy it. I can pick it up off my shelf later and read the exact same book I read years before. Via whichever mechanism I choose, I'm either holding onto that exact book for later, or I'm transferring ownership of that book, that artifact that contains words and/or images that can now be used, read, whatever by that second owner. And they can go on to do the same: handing it off to a friend, selling it on ebay, or putting it on a shelf for later reference.Often the convenience and immediacy of electronic books makes this distinction a non-issue for those who enjoy them. I can buy an ebook from Amazon or Bookshop.org and that thing is on my device within seconds, giving me access to the story or information that's the main, valuable component of a book for most of us, without any delay, without having to drive to a bookstore or wait for it to arrive in the mail. That's a pretty compelling offer.This distinction becomes more pressing, however, if I decide I want to go back and read an ebook I bought years ago, later, only to find that the license has changed and maybe that book is no longer accessible via the marketplace where I purchased it. If that happens, I no longer have access to the book, and there's no recourse for this absence—I agreed to this possibility when I “bought” the book, based on the user agreement I clicked ‘OK' or ‘I agree' on when I signed up for Amazon or whichever service I paid for that book-access.It also becomes more pressing if, as has happened many times over the past few decades, the publisher or some other entity with control over these book assets decides to change them.A few years ago, for instance, British versions of Roald Dalh's ‘Matilda' were edited to remove references to Joseph Conrad, who has in recent times been criticized for his antisemitism and racist themes in his writing. Some of RL Stine's Goosebumps books were edited to remove references to crushes schoolgirls had on their headmaster, and descriptions of an overweight character that were, in retrospect, determined to be offensive. And various racial and ethnic slurs were edited out of some of Agatha Christie's works around the same time.Almost always, these changes aren't announced by the publishers who own the rights to these books, and they're typically only discovered by eagle-eyed readers who note that, for instance, the publishers decided to change the time period in which something occurred, which apparently happened in one of Stine's works, without obvious purpose. This also frequently happens without the author being notified, as was the case with Stine and the edits made to his books. The publishers themselves, when asked directly about these changes, often remain silent on the matter.What I'd like to talk about today is another angle of this distinction between physically owned media and digital, licensed versions of the same, and the at times large sums of money that can be gained or lost based on the decisions of the companies that control these licensed assets.—Counter-Strike 2 is a first-person shooter game that's free-to-play, was released in 2023, and was developed by a company called Valve.Valve has developed all sorts of games over the years, including the Counter-Strike, Half-Life, DOTA, and Portal games, but they're probably best known for their Steam software distribution platform.Steam allows customers to buy all sorts of software, but mostly games through an interface that also provides chat services and community forums. But the primary utility of this platform is that it's a marketplace for buying and selling games, and it has match-making features for online multiplayer games, serves as a sort of library for gamers, so all their games are launchable from one place, and it serves as a digital rights management hub, which basically means it helps game companies ensure users aren't playing with pirated software—if you want to use steam to store and launch your games, they have to be legit, purchased games, not pirated ones.As of early 2025, it was estimated that Steam claimed somewhere between 75-80% of the PC gaming market, compared to competitors like the Epic Game Store, which was founded by the folks behind the wildly successful game, Fortnite, which can only claim something like 5%.And Counter-Strike is one of Valve's, and Steam's crown jewels. It's a free-to-play game that was originally developed as a mod, a free add-on to another game Valve owns called Half-Life, but Valve bought up the rights to that mod and developed it into its own thing, releasing the initial entry in the series in 2000, several main-series games after that in subsequent years, and then Counter-Strike 2 came out in 2023, to much acclaim and fanfare.Counter-Strike 2 often has around a million players online, playing the game at any given moment, and its tournaments can attract closer to 1.5 million. As of early 2024, it was estimated that Counter-Strike 2 pulled in around a billion dollars a year for Valve, primarily via what are called Case Keys, which allow players to open in-game boxes, each key selling for $2.50. Valve also takes a 15% cut of all player-to-player sales of items conducted on the Steam Community Market, which is a secure ebay- or Amazon-like component of their platform where players can sell digital items from the game, which are primarily aesthetic add-ons, like skins for weapons, stickers, and clothing—things that allow players to look different in the game, as opposed to things that allow them to perform better, which would give players who spent the most money an unfair advantage and thus make the game less competitive and fun.Because this is a free game, though, and by many estimates a really balance and well-made one, a lot of people play it, and a lot of people want to customize the look of their in-game avatar. So being able to open in-game boxes that contain loot, and being able to buy and sell said loot on the Steam Community Market, has led to a rich secondary economy that makes that component of the game more interesting for players, while also earning Valve a whole lot of money on the backend for those keys and that cut of sales between players.In late-October of 2025, Valve announced a change in the rules for Counter-Strike 2, now allowing players to trade-up more item types, including previously un-trade-up-able items like gloves and knives, into higher-grade versions of the same. So common items could be bundled together and traded in for less common items, and those less common items could be bundled together and traded up for rare ones.This seems like a small move from the outside, but it roiled the CS2 in-game economy, by some estimates causing upwards of $2 billion to basically disappear overnight, because rare gloves and knives were at times valued at as much as $1.5 million; again, these are just aesthetic skins that change the look of a player's avatar or weapons, but there's enough demand for these things that some people are willing to pay that much for ultra-rare and unique glove and knife skins.Because of that demand, some players had taken to spending real money on these ultra-rare items, treating their in-game portfolios of skins as something like an investment portfolio. If you can buy an ultra-rare glove skin for $40,000 and maybe sell it later for twice that, that might seem like a really good investment, despite how strange it may seem to those not involved in this corner of the gaming world to spend $40,000 on what's basically just some code in a machine that tells the game that the gloves on your avatar will look a certain way.This change, then, made those rarer gloves and knives, which were previously unattainable except by lottery-like chance, a lot more common, because people could trade up for them, increasing their chances of getting the ultra-rare stuff. The market was quickly flooded with more of these things, and about half the value of rare CS2 skins disappeared, initially knocking about $6 billion of total value from the market before stabilizing to around $1.5-2 billion.Volatility in this market continues, and people who invested a lot of money, sometimes their life savings, and sometimes millions of dollars into CS2 in-game skins, have been looking into potential legal recourse, though without much luck; Valve's user agreements make very clear that players don't own any of this stuff, and as a result, Valve can manipulate the market however they like, whenever they like.Just like with ebooks and movies we “buy” from Amazon and other services, then, these in-game assets are licensed to us, not sold. We may, at times, have a means of putting our license to some of these things on a secondary market, but that secondary market exists completely at the whim of the entity that actually owns the digital assets—in this case, Valve.Recent court cases have resulted in clearer language from some license-selling companies, including Valve—though in most cases the buttons we click still say something like “Buy Now” rather than “Acquire License,” and the specifics of what we're purchasing are hidden within a wall of legal text.So for the moment, at least, this sort of confusion will probably continue, with periodic wake-up calls for folks on the receiving end of updates or edits that impact them financially, or impact their ability to access what they thought they were buying, but which is later removed from their account, or changed without their knowledge or permission.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_(service)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporationhttps://theconversation.com/2b-counter-strike-2-crash-exposes-a-legal-black-hole-your-digital-investments-arent-really-yours-268749https://blix.gg/news/cs-2/how-to-make-money-with-cs2-skins-in-2025/http://tomshardware.com/video-games/ludicrous-usd6-billion-counter-strike-2-skins-market-crashes-loses-usd3-billion-overnight-game-update-destroys-inventories-collapses-markethttps://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/counter-strike-2-online-market-crash/507-ae9be038-2833-49d4-a5b4-d8f24fd0b33chttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strikehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_Storehttps://www.sahmcapital.com/news/content/counter-strike-skins-market-hits-1-billion-valves-virtual-goldmine-revealed-2024-01-22https://mezha.ua/en/news/counter-strike-2-100-mln-dohodu-za-keysi-u-berezni-301011/https://www.morganlewis.com/pubs/2024/10/california-becomes-first-state-to-pass-law-targeting-advertising-of-digital-media-licenseshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_economyhttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/04/arts/dahl-christie-stine-kindle-edited.htmlhttps://bookriot.com/do-you-really-own-your-ebookshttps://jipel.law.nyu.edu/can-you-own-an-ebook-a-summary-of-the-anti-ownership-ebook-economy-report/ This is a public episode.

Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise, is officially set to direct Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' live-action Helldivers movie. With a script from Gary Dauberman, Lin is reportedly focusing on character, world-building, and thematic depth as he brings the popular Arrowhead Game Studios franchise to film. The long-anticipated Amazon God of War TV series is now moving into pre-production, with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes. Casting has begun for Kratos and Atreus, putting to rest ongoing speculation about who will take on the lead roles. Toye's previous work on Shogun, The Boys, Westworld, and Watchmen signals a high-quality adaptation. Meanwhile, recent rumors linking Christopher Judge to the role have been dismissed. A mysterious statue discovered in the Mojave Desert, tied to a teaser from Geoff Keighley, has sparked intense speculation about what game it represents. Fans have theorized connections to God of War, Diablo, Fallout, Doom, Baldur's Gate, and even Half-Life due to nearby road names, but multiple insiders have ruled out several of these possibilities. The statue continues to generate discussion as more clues appear. Industry commentary also includes discussion around claims from HipHopGamer regarding a new PlayStation experience that could feature elements from all generations of PlayStation hardware and include a social component reminiscent of PlayStation Home. This speculation opens broader conversations about what PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming may look like in the next hardware cycle. The controversy involving Bungie's Marathon art dispute has reached a resolution, with artist Fern “4nt1r34l” Hook stating that the issue has been resolved to her satisfaction. Bungie previously acknowledged that a former employee had used her work without permission during the game's early development and removed the affected assets from the project. Yacht Club Games, the studio behind Shovel Knight, is facing a critical moment as it prepares for the release of Mina the Hollower. According to Bloomberg, the studio's future stability depends heavily on the game's sales performance. With the team having downsized and paused work on a separate 3D Shovel Knight project, the success of Mina the Hollower may determine the direction of the studio moving forward. Additional updates include a significant reduction to Helldivers 2's PC install size, a new limited-edition Genshin Impact DualSense controller for PS5, the soft launch of MLB The Show Mobile on iOS and Android, and new accusations that Sony used generative AI artwork for its PlayStation Advent Calendar promotional campaign. This episode brings together the biggest stories shaping PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the wider gaming industry, with insight into upcoming adaptations, studio challenges, production reveals, and the future direction of gaming.

Last year, Sony launched it's service-based third-person shooter Concord, and it bombed worse than virtually any PlayStation-developed title in history. In fact, it was received so poorly that Sony disappeared it off the market in a matter of two weeks, gave everyone their money back, and snuffed the entire project out of existence while closing the studio that made it. Fast-forward more than a year, though, and Concord has kinda-sorta returned. Tech-savvy enthusiasts have revived the game on private servers, but Sony has already caught wind of it all and are working to nip it in the bud. Do we really need Concord to return? Why does Sony care if it does? And why do smart people work so diligently on things they don't own or have control over? Plus: Black Friday will be exceptionally nice for those looking for PlayStation hardware, accessories, and games, Sony dominates The Game Awards nominations with 19, Bungie prods its playerbase for ideas on how to improve Destiny 2, EA's F1 series is taking a year hiatus, possibly indicating the future of EA Sports, Peacock renews Twisted Metal for a third season, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we keep the physical boxes for our gaming hardware? Would Sony ever revive The Legend of Dragoon? How does one navigate gaming's ragebait culture?

As was originally reported, Xbox brought out a Partner Preview in November. It was chockful of everything strange like a co-op alien shop simulator or a thuggish rabbit beating up baddies to more traditional first person horror titles. The catch was that every game we saw throughout was a Play Anywhere title, a program that many of Xbox's players still yearn for the platform to leverage more. All in all, the Dukes enjoyed the show, especially given it dropped ahead of the biggest show of the year in the Game Awards where announcements are typically prioritized. Beyond that, we dive deep into the Valve rumor mill. Half Life 3 is everywhere! Is it finally happening and are the Dukes believers? We get into that plus updated thoughts on the Steam Machine now that we've had some time to digest the triple-whammy Valve hit us with last week.
