2001 veröffentlicht das Entwicklerstudio Lionhead unter Leitung von Peter Molyneux das Strategiespiel Black & White. In dieser Göttersimulation übernehmen Spieler die Rolle einer Gottheit, wirken Wunder und lenken das Leben ihrer Anhänger. Eine zentrale Rolle nimmt dabei eine riesige Kreatur ein, deren Verhalten und Charakter sich durch die Entscheidungen und Handlungen der Spieler formen lässt. Christian und Gunnar sprechen in dieser Folge über die faszinierende Entwicklungsgeschichte von Black & White, beleuchten die revolutionären Gameplay-Mechaniken und diskutieren, ob der visionäre Ansatz des Spiels tatsächlich neue Maßstäbe setzen konnte oder eher ein ambitioniertes Experiment blieb.

2004 bringt Lionhead Studios mit Fable ein Action-Rollenspiel heraus, das den Spielern verspricht, ihre Entscheidungen und Taten sichtbar in einer offenen Fantasy-Welt widergespiegelt zu sehen. Als Held von Albion beginnt man als einfacher Junge, der ein Held werden wird, aber was für einer, das liegt bei der Spielerin: strahlender Retter oder gefürchteter Schurke. In dieser Folge werfen Gunnar und Fabian einen Blick auf die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Spiels, analysieren die Mechaniken und diskutieren, wie gut Fable die hohen Erwartungen erfüllt, die vorab geweckt werden. Ein Rückblick auf ein Spiel, das mit seiner Mischung aus Humor, Stil und Entscheidungsfreiheit die Grundlage für eine beliebte Reihe legt.

Corey is joined by cloud economist Eric Pullen to discuss Eric's journey at AWS that led to his current role as a cloud economist at Duckbill Group. They explore Eric's early career building data centers and learning IT finance, highlighting how today's cloud-first world has transformed career paths. The conversation also addresses the hype around cloud repatriation, with Eric arguing that enterprises are unlikely to return to on-prem due to the efficiency of cloud solutions. Additionally, they touch on cloud cost optimization, AWS service deprecation, and the importance of aligning cloud spending with business value rather than cutting costs blindly.Show Highlights:(1:35) Eric Pullen's background before joining The Duckbill Group(3:22) What's going on with cloud repatriation(6:39) Eric's advice for getting into the IT industry(7:08) How Eric got involved with AWS(10:51) Different aspects of Eric's time at AWS, including Well-Architected(15:02) The rise of service deprecation in AWS(17:47) Why Eric joined The Duckbill Group(22:42) Eric's concept of consulting at scale(26:23) How cost can affect performance(32:32) Problems with standardization in enterprises(39:10) Where to learn more about Eric and his workAbout Eric PullenI'm Eric Pullen, and I live just outside of Louisville, Kentucky.

Have you wanted to give Fly Fishing a try? We talk about what to expect for first-time fly fishing! Do you love cooking meat but have trouble getting the seasoning right? We've got an insight into why and how the chefs season beef to venison to chicken to fish and more. This is Rebecca Wanner aka BEC and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with the radio show The Bend Show, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle! Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on The Bend Show YouTube channel. EPISODE 142 DETAILS BEC & Tigger intro the show, sharing that Tigger has had his gallbladder removed. He is now recovering slowly and will be watching his diet and will need to slowly reintroduce foods. Health is upon us to monitor. It is our responsibility to take care of ourselves as there are no other more valuable assets in your operation, in your business, or to your family. Please use this as a reminder to do wellness checks yearly! Welcome to your Outdoors & Western Lifestyle news outlet, The Bend Radio Show & Podcast available on SiriusXM Rural Radio Channel 147, AM / FM Radio, and on all Podcast Players. SPOTLIGHT It's Hot, Kids are getting antsy, and parents or the sitter's nerves may seem frayed and wondering what to do with them. Turns out that instead of tossing a new video game or downloading another app for kids to play… Pull out the Board Games! Scientists studied several groups of 9-year-olds only to discover that hands down, children that played board games had higher math scores than those who did not. Board Games enhanced not just mathematical abilities for young children, but also improved strategy effects on basic and complex math skills, plus added to positive cognitive and developmental skills. So there ya have it! Pull out the Monopoly, The Game of Life Game or one of our favorites, especially if you grew up on a farm or ranch, the Farming Game and let the kids go wild! https://farmgame.com/ NEWS Iceland - If venturing to Iceland anytime soon and want an experience as unique as can be… For $400 per night, you can spend the night in the middle of an Iceland Forest inside a bubble. Yes, that's correct BUBBLE. The Buubble by Airmango offers guests the opportunity to sleep in bubbles that are heated, have electricity, a king size bed with bedding, a lamp, and a small bench with a nearby cabin offering bathrooms and other amenities. This has BEC wondering, what can she charge for sleeping on her picnic table with an air mattress… Food for thought. Aspartame, Healthy or Not? The World Health Organization is reviewing if they may soon label the artificial sweetener Aspartame as a possible carcinogen. Aspartame is used to sweeten Diet Coke, Coke Zero, chewing gum, breakfast cereals, ice cream, and Diet Snapple for example. It's also known as NutraSweet, Equal, and Sugar Twin. Regardless of the decision, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on those “ingredient labels” when grocery shopping! Beer For A Better Tan? Have you heard of this latest Tik Tok trend, pouring beer on oneself in order to achieve a better tan? If you have or have not, this is a HECK NO from BEC. Experts have weighed in on this trend and it has been debunked. The Beer has of course NO SPF protection and actually ATTRACTS bugs and bees. Be Safe - Smear on the Sunscreen and Drink the Beer! Bunny Take Over The New York Post has reported that Wilton Manors, Florida is being overrun by Lionhead Rabbits. A bunny breeder in Fort Lauderdale illegally let loose the rabbits before they started multiplying on the street. Hundreds of rabbits are now living in the backyards of homes in Wilton Manors. The bunnies have a shaggy mane and resemble lions. Some families are feeding the rabbits while others consider them a nuisance as the bunnies are digging holes in the nice lawns. The estimated cost to catch and rehome the rabbits would be $40,000. If you've not heard of the Lionhead rabbits before, here's a little more insight. Lionhead Rabbits may be small in stature as they only reach 2.5-3.5 lbs, however, are active! They grow to about 8-10 inches at adult size and life expectancy is 8 to 10 years. Fly Fishing? Can Anyone Fly Fish? Angler or Not; there is always something about fishing that is a tried and true, lifetime sport. Have you ever tried to Fly Fish? Sometimes the thought of such a simple rod yet the long lengths of line flying back and forth can seem a bit overwhelming. We remember movies such as "A River Runs Through It" where Brad Pitt, and Anthony Hopkins share the tale of two brothers in rural Montana spending quite a bit of time Fly Fishing. Brad Pit, a Missouri native himself, never learned how to fly fish growing up. A little-known fact is that actually the music legend Melissa Etheridge taught actor Brad Pitt to fly fish in her swimming pool! Etheridge herself also grew up in the Midwest and loves not just fishing but is a huge Fly Fishing Fan. (A little "Did you know??" for the entertainment fans!) EMBED:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsIolBViUmc Tigger visits with Justin Hampton who is an active outdoorsman, and rancher and helps out on The Bend Show offering field reports from the Ozarks and Missouri area. Justin Hampton recently went on his first Fly Fishing excursion and shares what was surprising and what was or was not fun. Yes, Fly Fishing is often referred to as an "Artform of Fishing". This is a great first beginner's take and another example that we are ALL capable of trying new hobbies at any time in life! The Bend Field Staffer: Justin Hampton Contributor to: Ozark Traditions TV Facebook: @OzarkTraditionsTV https://www.facebook.com/OzarkTraditionsTV COOK MEAT LIKE PROFESSIONAL CHEFS HOW TO SEASON MEAT Have you ever watched cooking shows like Rachael Ray or Gordon Ramsey and his Hell's Kitchen, for example… Watching closely, have you noticed how when seasoning meats such as beef, pork, venison, chicken, fish… really any meats; these chefs hold their arms high in the air, generously sprinkling the seasoning over the meat? Did you think it was just for theatrics? Done for more “Showmanship” to draw more attention to “Wow - we're seasoning!”? Turns out there is actually a REASON for that high-arm technique. Meat is seasoned with the arm high in the air in order to evenly distribute the seasoning over the meat. Even seasoning a dish or meat can be very tricky. This technique of holding the seasoning higher allows for gravity to work with the swirl motion and results in more uniformly seasoned meat. Give it a try, you will be surprised! The only downfall is yes, you will need a slightly bigger prep area as it can get a bit messy but give this tip a try!

Na začátku nového týdne vám přinášíme v pořadí již 246. epizodu našeho vidcastu. Honza si připravil téma o hře The Room, která vznikala ve studiu Lionhead, pohrávala si s portály a ohýbáním reality a dala základ třeba tomu, co můžete dělat ve hře/editoru Dreams od Media Molecule. Druhé téma jsme opět věnovali PlayStation VR2, protože Jirka mohl hrát další zajímavé tituly, včetně Gran Turisma 7 nebo Resident Evil Village, a přináší další dojmy. A pak je tu rozhovor - u příležitosti nedávného vydání rozšíření pro českou strategii Nebuchadnezzar jsme pozvali Josefa Hájíčka, aby nám řekl, co se děje ve studiu Nepos Games, jaké jsou další plány s mezopotámskou strategií, jak vnímá Pharaoh: A New Era a co dalšího můžeme v budoucnu očekávat. To všechno pak uzavírá mišmaš, který, překvapivě, stále není jen pro platící diváky. Haha. To byl vtip. Tedy, ne to, že byste za mišmaš museli platit, to stále nemusíte. Seznam témat 00:00 - Start 04:34 - Další týden s PlayStation VR2 znamená další dojmy. V hledáčku skončilo No Man's Sky, Resident Evil Village a Gran Turismo 7 44:25 - Podivuhodný příběh hry The Room od studia Lionhead, která nikdy nevyšla, ale přesto ovlivnila přemýšlení řady vývojářů i dalších firem 1:07:20 - Rozhovor s Josefem Hájíčkem z Nepos Games o strategii Nebuchadnezzar, nedávné expanzi a dalších věcech 1:36:12 - Závěrečný mišmaš

Before Todd Howard's promises about the climbability of mountains was Peter Molyneux and Fable, a game which promised a level of interactivity never seen before in an RPG.  Have children (that could continue your legacy when you died), plant a tree and see it grow, and dynamic rivalries with other heroes - Fable was going to have it all.Instead we got something far simpler in scope and ambition.  There were hints or shadows of something more grandiose, properties could be bought, reputation existed, and you could fart in people's faces.  But for all that it seemed to miss on its promises, Fable was still a widely beloved title when it released in 2004.  People loved its childlike sense of charm and wonder, and the freedom with which you could customise your character.So where, then, does the truth lie?  Is Fable a game that's fantastic precisely because of its limited scope, letting it focus down on the fun?  Or is it's mish-mash of seemingly novel mechanics at odds with how shallow they are, both in and of themselves and how they interact with others?On this episode, we discuss:Story.Fable's story is a lighthearted and at times comedic retelling of a generic hero's journey.  To what degree is this a sincere attempt to tell a story, and do its satirical elements clash with its rather menacing villains?Systems.Fable lets you immediately put skill points into anything from the very beginning of your journey.  Is this flat levelling structure better or worse than the far more common skill trees common to action RPGS?Fluff.Fable 1 has many different mechanical systems that are wrapped around the core gameplay - marriage, property ownership, reputation and gestures (to name a few).  Do these systems integrate well together and add to the depth of the worldbuilding, or are they simply funny and ultimately irrelevant novelties?We answer these questions and many more on the 101st episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!--Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherFable OST: Russel Shaw, Danny Elfman--Thanks once again to everyone who has taken the time to listen to us discuss these great games.If you haven't already, come say hi on our Discord Server's text chat and let us know if there are any great titles you think we should play. Anything 15 years or older and under 20 Hours long is always seriously considered :)And if you would like to support the show then you can do so on our Buy Me a Coffee page.

Imagine getting a phone call from a guy called Gary Gygax in America and he's reading a newsletter you wrote for a games business you're running out of a messy flat in London, and he likes it so much he wants to send you a copy of a new game he's working on called Dungeons & Dragons.   You end up loving the game and he likes what you're about, so he grants you exclusive rights to introduce Dungeons & Dragons to the UK, and to Europe, and to sell it there for three years. You can only afford six copies but it doesn't matter much: soon you'll be able to afford a lot more.    That's not even the best story my guests today have! They've done so much and created so much. That games business they were running? Games Workshop, a business that would change the face of tabletop gaming. Not content, this pair would work well into the night to create a series of game books called Fighting Fantasy, making themselves best-selling authors in the process. The series has sold more than 20 million copies today.   And that's not all: from there, they'd go on to sign video games like Tomb Raider and Hitman, and create studios like Lionhead and make beloved series like Fable. They'd receive awards and knighthoods - even be tasked by the government to evaluate the industry to see where it could do better.   Without Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson, my guests today, games simply wouldn't be the same. But it's about Fighting Fantasy in particular we talk today, on this, it's 40th anniversary - for which they've both written new books. It's eye-opening to hear how the original book didn't sell very well, and to hear how they actually put the complicated, labyrinthine game-books together. I hear about their favourite books, their favourite deaths in the books, and everything in between.    One quick note: there were some technical difficulties with the recording platform that meant Steve had trouble joining us, though he did get there eventually, and that resulted in some odd audio glitches later on. There's nothing I can do about them but I am sorry in advance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Between Thursday night and Sunday morning, a large spring storm left 1-2 ft of fresh snow across most of the advisory area (Lionhead only received a few inches).

Clouds will move in for most of the rest of the week, but there will also be sunny periods mixed in. High temperatures will be in the 40s F. There are chances for light precipitation starting on Wednesday, but it won't amount to more than a few inches of snow.

Sega Europe has acquired Two Point Hospital developer Two Point Studios for an undisclosed fee. The British studio had already been working with Sega Europe in a publishing capacity via the company's Searchlight program, which was established to find new development talent working on projects with franchise potential. Two Point, the studio was established back in 2016 by Lionhead alumni Gary Carr, Mark Webley, and Ben Hymers. Since then, the trio have established a 17-strong team with experience working on franchises like like Fable, Alien, and Black and White. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pixel-sultan/support

In 2008, the now defunct Lionhead Studios released what many saw as the culmination of founder Peter Molyneux's vision. Molyneux had hyped the original Fable as a game that would change the very fabric of the industry, which left fans very underwhelmed when it released as a solid, but rather run-of-the-mill RPG. With Fable 2, things were destined to be different. Molyneux apologized for his salesmanship of Fable and swore that things would be different. Fable 2 managed to deliver on what Lionhead had seemed to promise with the original - it was actually a different kind of RPG. Also, there was a dog and it was very endearing.  It's time to ask: Is Fable 2 one of the best games period?

We get an early jump on St. Patrick's Day this week, with a hiss-heavy segment celebrating five videogame snakes that Ireland's patron saint would doubtlessly have run out of the country on a rail. We then snap right back to the present with a look at The Division, Rise of the Kasai on PS4 and Hitman; wallow in the sad sagas of Lionhead and the Coleco Chameleon; and dig into the best games you never played the DLC for.

On this week's podcast we discuss Microsoft's closure of Press Play and Lionhead studios, the upcoming changes to E3, and whether or not we have any business declaring how much money a game should be worth. Jay updates us on The Division, we tell you everything you need to know about The Walking Dead: Michonne, […]

Happy Friday friends and readers! It's that time of week again, when IGN UK's finest descend upon our microphones to bring you whimsy and insanity in equal measure. This week, we've even managed to coerce a couple of Lionhead's finest into joining us! We start off with Luke, Stu and Chris dissecting the week's biggest news, from the shock revelation that BioShock creator Irrational is hugely downsizing to the Titanfall announcements, and we even find time to chat about the Fantastic Four casting. Following that, Alex and Krupa sit down with the esteemed Tim and Craig from Fable Anniversary developer Lionhead to chat all about the game and life at the studio. Then it's back to LSC (see, it's like a drug but not 'cos we're good boys) to guide you home. Oh what larks await you! There may not be a full video version this week for reasons beyond our control (or continuing incompetence on our part) but you can check out the segment with the Fable boys below, then click through the link or download to listen at your leisure!

It's episode 39 where I will be discussing the iconic 1989 Bullfrog god game, Populous. But first a little bit of news: Last time we talked about Rand Miller and Cyan getting back together fr a project. Well, it's out and it's called Obduction. It is a spiritual sucessor to Myst and Riven. Next, in Thief news, The Dark Mod, a Thief mod for Doom 3 has released it's second version. Dark Mod 2.0 is now standalone and does not require any resources from Doom 3. We then get to the main topic, the Populous series. We cover all the usual suspects and also read an email from Paul where he talks about building his own version of Populous during Lionhead's Creative Day in 2011. Buy Populous on GoG: http://www.gog.com/game/populous?pp=1106a1dda2d680438ecfb0bb70fd479c55a1791f Buy Populous 2 on GoG: http://www.gog.com/game/populous_2?pp=1106a1dda2d680438ecfb0bb70fd479c55a1791f Buy Populous: The Beginning on GoG: http://www.gog.com/game/populous_the_beginning?pp=1106a1dda2d680438ecfb0bb70fd479c55a1791f Next time I'll be covering the 1995 LucasArts FPS, Dark Forces.
