Marion Rothschopf-Herzogs Biografie beginnt im Mölltal wo sie auch heute wieder lebt. In ihrer Freizeit liebt sie es zu jäten und ihren Garten zu gestalten, dafür lässt sie auch tonnenschwere Steine wandern. Ihr Lebenslauf ist mit zwei Hauptmotiven – der Musik und dem Tourismus – komponiert. Sie besuchte das Musikgymnasium in Lienz und hatte einen besonderen Musiklehrer, der sie stark geprägt hat. Die Klarinette begleitet sie bis heute, obwohl das Instrument nicht ihre Liebe auf den ersten Blick war, sondern aus der Notwendigkeit heraus entsprang welches Instrument in der örtlichen Blasmusikkapelle benötigt wurde. Nach der Matura zog es sie als Au-pair nach Oxford und London. Dort musste sie erstmals auf eigenen Beinen stehen und entdeckte die Leidenschaft zu Reisen. Ursprünglich wollte Marion in London bleiben, doch ihr Weg führte zurück nach Österreich in die Tourismusschule Klessheim bei Salzburg. Während der Studienzeit führte sie ein Praktikum nach Italien an den Gardasee. Als Fremdenführerin hatte sie die wundervolle Aufgabe, Gäste in die Oper nach Verona zu begleiten. Es folgten Jahre der Wanderschaft in denen Marion viele Erfahrungen sammelte, bis die Geburt ihrer Tochter dazu führte, dass sie sesshaft wurde. Bei Rogner International fand sie einen familienfreundlichen Job mit spannenden und abwechslungsreichen Aufgaben, der ihr Spaß machte. Eigentlich gab es keinen Grund nach etwas Neuem Ausschau zu halten, bis sie 2007 auf die Ausschreibung für die Geschäftsführung der CMA – Carinthische Musik Akademie - aufmerksam wurde und diese ihr Interesse weckte. Mehrere Hearingrunden später begann Marion ihre Arbeit in einer Baustelle. Über 10 Jahre später empfang sie uns zum Interview. Mit ihrer Vision entwickelte sie das Stift Ossiach und die CMA zu einem Vorzeigebetrieb weit über die Grenzen Kärntens hinaus. Der Ort ist Treffpunkt und Plattform zugleich und verbindet alle möglichen Musiksparten miteinander. Als Frau in der ersten Reihe, darf Marion Gestalten und ermutigt im Gespräch, seinem Bauchgefühl zu folgen, sich ständig Weiterzubilden und ins Tun zu kommen und nicht nur davon zu träumen. Besonders Frauen brauchen Durchhaltevermögen, Mut und Klarheit um zum Erfolg zu kommen. Passend auch nach ihrem Lebensmotto: Immer vorwärts, nie zurück!

Herzog Zwei ist ein frühes Spiel für den MegaDrive und gilt mit seinem Hybrid-Gameplay aus Action und Strategie als einer der Vorläufer von Spielen wie Dune 2, als Urvater der Echtzeitstrategie. Der Titel kommt von dem hierzulande relativ unbekannten Studio Technosoft, das seinen größten Ruhm mit der Shoot-em-up-Serie Thunder Force erlangte. Technosoft, 1980 gegründet, war ein Veteran der japanischen PC-Spiele-Entwicklung und brachte einige Spiele für die Computer von NEC und Nippon Electric heraus; Herzog Zwei war erst das zweite Konsolenspiel des Unternehmens. Chris und Fabian sprechen über das Spiel, die Entstehungsgeschichte und seine historische Bedeutung.

Checkpoints 100! Massive thanks to everyone that listens to and subscribes to the show, and of course to all of my previous guests, without whom the show literally wouldn't exist. A milestone show requires a milestone guest, so today I'm joined by the creator of several iconic games including Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and Psychonauts and the founder and CEO of Double Fine, Tim Schafer. We hit on a bunch of topics as we meander through Tim's life in games including computer clubs, summer camps, building kit PCs with his dad, how pirating a game almost cost him his job at Lucasarts, playing Pictionary with Death, the highs and lows of running your own studio and how Animal Crossing made him want to lead a better life.

For episode 19 of GameFellas, our featured guest St1ka joins us to talk new games released on retro consoles. St1ka is an expert on this topic and runs a YouTube channel mostly dedicated to it. Believe it or not, there are lots of new games being released on these long "dead" consoles with more each and every year. During the second part of the show we discuss little known games that shaped our formative years. In other words, games that didn't get the recognition they deserved upon release, but that we managed to find and play somehow. We also had a lengthy "what we've been playing" section where we all geeked out over our love for Breath of the Wild. Justin and Derik joined in to round out the four of us. Topics: New Games Released on Retro Consoles & Little Known Games that Shaped Our Formative Years Games Discussed: Legacy of Kain Defiance, ODT (PS1), Dune 2, Dune, Saints Row 4, Super Bloody Hockey, Mutant League Football, Herzog Zwei, Metal Marines, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Harvest Moon (SNES), The Tenth Line, Regalia of Men and Monarchs, Borderlands 3, Breath of the Wild, Octopath Traveler, Pier Solar, Tanglewood, Arkagis Revolution, Irena, Antarex, Xeno Crisis, Tanzer, Paprium, Demons of Asteborg, Virtua Racing, Shovel Knight, Mighty Gunbolt Burst, Silver Valley, Voyahe of a Sorceress Vacation, Project Blue, NES Maker, Axiom Verge, Toejam and Earl, Skool Daze, Bubble Bobble, Sinistar, Bubbles (Arcade), Mad Dog McCree, Lethal Enforcers, Time Crisis, Forgotten Worlds, RPM Racing, Drakkhen, Guardian Legend, Master of Magic Music Interlude Track from the Xeno Crisis OST - Area 3 Dunes Featured Guest - St1ka Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1gYKuDp3g4jt14pRu0KYQ https://twitter.com/St1ka Hosting, Video, Audio and Post Production by Zack Smith (Aggro Sky) https://twitter.com/zfunk007 Live Production and Fact Checking by Derik Moore https://twitter.com/ithinkibrokeit Co-Host - Justin Day https://twitter.com/justinday82

My guest today is Ken Levine, creative director and co-founder of Irrational and now Ghost Story Games, and the creative force behind some of the most iconic titles in video game history including System Shock 2, Thief and the Bioshock Series. We talk about the physical thrill of early mechanical games, his bad news bears-esque teenage deliquency - bumming smokes and playing arcades - his bumpy path into video game design via Hollywood and how the theatre prepared him for running a video game studio. We talk about why the original Castle Wolfenstein was so stressful, how obscure gem Herzog Zwei should get way more credit, why Rocksmith is one of the best games he's ever played and how the Legend of Zelda ruined a relationship. "We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us."

Wer kennt ihn nicht, den Kampf Rot gegen Blau, kalt gegen warm, Feuer gegen Wasser. Essig gegen Kalkablagerungen. Und da sind wir auch schon bei Herzog Zwei, denn genauso umfangreich wie der erste Satz dieser Shownotes ist nämlich die Hintergrundstory des Titels ;)
