Tvåhundratalets sista Speljunta slajdar in i dina öron. I detta ödesmättade avsnitt hör du tre generaler fundera över avtal och krisande kultur samt försöka förstå hur det kokta fläsket inte kan vara stekt. När oset har lagt sig och brandvarnaren slutat larma vädrar Anton en begynnande konfliktyta i hemmet och Susanne blir yr av alla perspektiv som Control Resonant bjuder på. Angelica däremot funderar på vad som egentligen är viktigt i Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave och ger ett litet, poetiskt tips i form av Novena.  Spel som nämns i avsnittet: Candy Crush, Keep Driving, Mario Kart, Shelter-spelen, Unravel, Hela: of Mice and Magic, The Witcher, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Alan Wake 2, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Control Resonant, Control, Firewatch, FBC: Firebreak, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Persona, Novena Spel som nämns i releaseradarn: Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, Gears of War: E-day, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Silver Pines, Deep Dish Dungeon, Planet Zoo 2, Valor Mortis, The Witch's Bakery, Castlevainia: Belmont's Curse, Tenebris Somnia, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Final Fantasy Resonance, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Phantom Blade Zero Tidskoder: (00:55) Personliga frågan (03:05) Spelnyheter (33:10) Reklam (34:15) Spelintryck

Jakten på Zelda 40-årsutgavene gikk ikke helt etter planen, men heldigvis fikk vi en ny sjanse. Vi snakker også om oppsigelsene hos IGN, gamle Joy-Cons med svulmende batterier, nyheter fra Level 5 og nye NES-spill på Switch Online. På spillfronten står Orbitals og Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave i sentrum.

Solheim Cup, Presidents Cup und Tourkartenkampf: Flo, Bernd und Zille sind zurück aus der Sommerpause – endlich wieder gemeinsam am Mikrofon! Wir sprechen über Europas Solheim-Cup-Triumph, Esther Henseleits dramatisches Einzel und das amerikanische Comeback beim Presidents Cup. Was macht Teamgolf so besonders? Wie entsteht Momentum? Und warum erinnert Matchplay manchmal an Mario Kart? Außerdem: Matt Fitzpatrick gewinnt in Frankreich, Marcel Schneider kämpft mit seinem Handgelenk und für mehrere deutsche Profis wird es im Saisonendspurt eng. Flo und Bernd erklären das Prinzip einer Medical Extension und geben persönliche Einblicke in den Druck des Tourlebens. Zum Schluss wird es grundsätzlich: Warum führt hartes Training nicht automatisch zu besseren Ergebnissen? Bernd berichtet von seiner Begegnung mit Yannik Paul – und Flo erklärt, warum er manche Spieler am liebsten erst einmal zum Eisessen schicken würde. Mit Florian Fritsch, Bernd Ritthammer und Jens „Zille“ Zielinski.

AI For Humans
Opus 5.5 is our favorite AI model (so far).

AI news this week: Claude Opus 5.5 is INSANE and we love it. Faster, cheaper, better. So much for the AI slowdown. Oh and OpenAI's new thing is good too. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell go hands on with Claude Opus 5.5, which might be the best model we've ever used (for now). Anthropic says it hits Fable-level performance on most things at about 40% less cost than Opus 5, the writing is clearer, and yes, the five hour usage limits went up and you can now bank your resets. Then we get into what people are already making with it: a guitar store sim, a music-based side-scroller, a Mario Kart benchmark, an underwater exploration game in 3MB, claymation built in Blender, a pop punk single made entirely in code and a lot of very juicy animations. Also: OpenAI answered with GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, two new models that are faster and a lot cheaper than what came before. We compare them with Opus 5.5 (robot hands drawing, pelicans on bicycles in Blender), wonder what OpenAI has lined up for DevDay, and talk about Bel, the reported secret model that's beating the math. Oh, and there's a new Grok. Grok 4.7. It's out. (crickets) Plus: Gavin used Meshy 7.1 to turn a few photos of himself into a rigged, animated 3D model and then built Gavin At Large with his Opus 5.5 agent, a game where a giant Gavin wrecks a lil town. In Actually Useful AI, GPT-6 Astra makes simple motion graphics for a real book trailer. And in AI See What You Did There: Dario vs Sam in a very weird gun fight showdown and what happens when you point Claude at the Moving Image Archive. AI SLOWDOWN?

Insight from the Hurricane Event: Food, Fun, and FeedbackA candid discussion on the recent event's highlights and misses.The latest episode of Frank Opinions dives into the recent Hurricane event, where hosts Adam and Brandon share their experiences and opinions.Adam and Tasker reflect on the second year of the Hurricane event, noting that while it was well-organized and in a decent location, there were some misses this time around. Adam mentions, "I think they missed on some points... the gaming didn't take off like they were hoping."The Gaming Tournament seemed to lack the excitement of the previous year, but maybe the idea of including more popular games like Mario Kart could possibly attract a  larger crowd. The hosts also indulge in a food critique, sharing their experiences with the local food vendors. We discuss the need for the event to evolve, particularly around vendor participation for the idea for draw more attention for a bigger crowd.https://www.instagram.com/frank_opinions_podcast/?hl=en

Apple finally gave the tech world its foldable iPhone, and the biggest question on AwesomeCast 796 isn't whether it looks impressive. It's whether anyone needs a $1,999 phone. Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar spend this week's episode looking at where Apple is going next, while also catching up on Nintendo, MapQuest, Pittsburgh technology and some unusually revealing internet analytics. Siri Gets Smarter — Eventually Dave upgraded to iOS 27 and came away impressed with its speed and stability, but the headline Siri AI features come with a catch: there's a waitlist. Apple's rollout includes a more capable Siri experience, improved Visual Intelligence and upgrades to Image Playground. Sorg, who had access earlier through the beta process, says Siri already appears better at understanding spoken requests and answering questions without immediately handing everything off elsewhere. More on the Siri AI rollout: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/09/15/ios-27-siri-ai-has-waitlist-how-to-join/ Apple's $1,999 Foldable Experiment Then there's the iPhone Duo. The foldable became one of the episode's biggest discussions after an unlikely piece of analytics showed just how much attention Apple's announcement received: Pornhub reported a significant traffic drop when Apple revealed the device. https://mashable.com/life/pornhub-apple-event-viewers-dropped-iphone-duo Beyond the jokes, there are intriguing ideas here. Apple is using matching aspect ratios between the outside and inside displays, potentially making life easier for developers. The larger format opens up interesting multitasking possibilities, and the crew sees potential for business users, presenters and some creators. The problem is impossible to ignore: $1,999 is a lot of money for a phone. Katie compares the experience to having a dual-monitor setup in your pocket but struggles to get past the cost. Sorg sees the Duo more as Apple's latest first-generation experiment — something that may eventually trickle down into less expensive devices after early adopters figure out what the form factor is actually good for. Apple Watch Solves the “What Did They Just Say?” Problem A smaller Apple announcement may prove more immediately useful. The crew discusses an Apple Watch listening feature that can help recover something you recently heard. The example involved replaying information like restaurant specials, but Sorg immediately saw a production use for it: remembering instructions received in a noisy event environment. Sometimes the best technology feature isn't spectacular. It simply fixes a small problem that happens constantly. Nintendo Looks Back — and Forward Chachi's Video Game Minute brings an update on the White House Tetris-style game, which has now been removed. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2026/09/08/white-house-removes-controversial-tetris-style-game-from-arcade-website/ Nintendo also showed gameplay for the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, scheduled for November 5. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-shares-the-first-gameplay-and-release-date-for-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake/ Sorg continues the Nintendo discussion with Mario Kart World's newly accessible recreations of classic Super Nintendo tracks and a new Metroid announcement.

MapQuest Wins With Whimsy MapQuest's unexpected comeback continues, powered partly by something its bigger competitors often lack: personality. Katie introduces two more Questies — Corgi and Black Cat — along with Rufus, the dog who inspired the Corgi design, and the upcoming Jimothy character. Future MapQuest updates are also expected to include CarPlay, Android Auto and transit improvements.

Von Ahn came from Guatemala to Carnegie Mellon, became one of the researchers behind CAPTCHA and later co-founded Duolingo. The discussion expands into the importance of university research and how work that begins without an obvious commercial product can eventually become foundational technology. https://www.invent.org/inductees/luis-von-ahn Wrestling in a Military Hangar Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week comes from a very different kind of technology production. The Sidekick Media crew helped capture Prospect Pro Wrestling's “Banger in the Hangar” at the 911th Air Wing. Wrestlers entered through a huge cargo aircraft, Stormtroopers showed up, the Pirate Parrot got involved, and the production took place inside an enormous working hangar.

The discussion expands into the importance of university research and how work that begins without an obvious commercial product can eventually become foundational technology. https://www.invent.org/inductees/luis-von-ahn Wrestling in a Military Hangar Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week comes from a very different kind of technology production. The Sidekick Media crew helped capture Prospect Pro Wrestling's “Banger in the Hangar” at the 911th Air Wing. Wrestlers entered through a huge cargo aircraft, Stormtroopers showed up, the Pirate Parrot got involved, and the production took place inside an enormous working hangar. Watch the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kqJY33amJ0 It is another episode that jumps from smartphones and video games to Pittsburgh production stories — exactly the kind of wonderfully strange technology mix AwesomeCast was built for.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#221 "Author, Podcaster, Game Designer" - Podcast Show Notes & Summary 9-12-26   Quick Summary  Tim walks in barely held together and introduces himself as author, podcaster, and game designer — because he just dropped a playable HTML prototype of his Color Clash-inspired dual-grid RTS into the Fork Discord. The ring actually lands on Life first: Nate's kids demand VR mid-show, California is an air fryer, lane-splitters want six inches of courtesy, and both households are eating unexpected bills. Then the game firehose opens — Sony tells a courtroom that reasonable consumers know they don't own digital games, Xbox Cloud gets a 15-hour Ultimate cap, Nintendo dumps a Zelda 40th and a second Direct in two days, Ocarina of Time remake looks like a stop-motion maquette, Metroid Ravenous is metal as hell, and Kojima's canceled Sony IP is now an Xbox game. Entertainment is Coyote vs. Acme beating Warner Bros. at its own gag, Chad Powers season two sneaking back from the dead, Spider-Noir winning Emmys then getting canceled, and Nick Offerman as Big the Cat. Tech is Mac Studio M5 Max sticker shock, Apple's September event, the iPhone Duo foldable, and John Ternus's first week as CEO. Classic four-and-a-half-hour Fork: family chaos, Sony fumbles, Nintendo cooking, and Tim finally putting a game on the table.   Detailed Show Notes

Our stories today were recorded live in person in front of a packed house on January 20th, 2026, at The George and Jane Dennison Theatre. The theme was “Self-Evident”. In our first story, ash falls from the sky and a nearby wildfire casts an ominous glow over the high desert, as Scott Davis pushes past total physical collapse in his first 100-mile race. With the air quality hitting dangerous levels and the race officially canceled, Scott must decide if his broken body can endure the final six miles of the race, in the dark. Scott calls his story “Are We There Yet? 100 Miles of Ash and Fire”.  Scott Davis is a bit of a masochist, as two of his favorite things are wildly unpopular in our culture: running ultramarathons and mathematics. One of those he does professionally, teaching math at Missoula College, while the other is just for “fun.” A self‑described cartoon enthusiast, he has 15 cartoon‑related tattoos and counting. Scott Davis is powered equally by curiosity, a drive that borders on unhealthy, and a high‑carb diet. In our next story, after a childhood defined by unexplained meltdowns and a desperate attempt to mask her way through a remote religious upbringing, Ruthie Castle, a graduate student in mental health counseling, finds herself arguing with a professor about how to diagnose neurodivergence. Her search for clinical answers leads her to become her own guinea pig in an assessment that finally challenges everything she was ever told about being an unruly child. Ruthie calls her story “Under the Mask”. Ruthie practices psychotherapy in Missoula, with a clinical focus on trauma and neurodivergence. She moved to Montana to teach at an outdoor science school after completing her undergraduate degree in Michigan. After many years of leading science-based backpacking trips for middle schoolers in the Bridger Mountains, she went on to work as a bartender at Imagine Nation Brewing Company before beginning her graduate degree in mental health counseling. Ruthie spends her free time recreating in a variety of ways on Montana's vast public lands and rivers.  Emily Farrell's world is upended when her magical grandfather flies her into the heart of the Ringling Brothers Circus to become a guest performer. What starts as a dream of “running away with the circus” turns into a night of sensory overload and a lonely moment of panic that redefines what it means to be brave in a story that we call “Send in the Clowns”. Thanks, Emily. Emily Farrell is a communication major at the University of Montana, as well as a mother, writer, and lifelong learner. A dedicated puzzle enthusiast, she enjoys playing cards, sampling fine cheeses, rollerskating, and kicking her kids’ butts in Mario Kart. Emily grew up in the Seeley-Swan Valley, where she developed a deep love of catching frogs, building snow forts, and jumping into ice-cold rivers and lakes. Her work and life are shaped by curiosity, humor, and a strong conviction that connection, much like play, is both an art and a discipline. Shayla Paradeis has a profound encounter in a Montana cedar grove, a young woman begins a lifelong quest to truly “listen” to the natural world. This journey eventually carries her across the globe to a sacred ceremony in the Australian bush, where an unexpected lesson from an elder and a conversation by a river challenge her entire understanding of what it means to belong to the earth. Shayla calls her story “The Shape of Embodied Listening”. Shayla Paradeis is a walking naturalist who grew up in central Minnesota. Inspired by respect for community and passion for the study of being human, she pursued a career in musical theater and attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City.  Shortly after graduating, she stood in line at a New York audition and experienced a clear vision of Glacier National Park’s backcountry. Fragrances of graphite dust and gurgles of trickling mountain water were so vivid, she left the building and promptly moved to Montana. Being with nature proved to be her greatest passion, and she experienced it through trails. By age 34, she hiked over 18,000 miles between Montana backcountry and long distance treks like the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, Continental Divide, and Te Araroa of New Zealand. Her passion for the Rocky Mountain ecosystem grew enormous through climate change research in Glacier National Park and as a children’s educator at the Grizzly Wolf Discovery Center. Combining her musical theater background with her love for the outdoors, she became a published author and ecosystems storyteller. She travels the country sharing words and songs about the connectivity of land, people, and creatures. You can find Shayla Paradeis on Substack and Bandcamp.

Professor Game Podcast | Rob Alvarez Bucholska chats with gamification gurus, experts and practitioners about education

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide, behavioral design applied to real products: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Dan Shapiro, author of Decoding Genius: The Unexpected Lessons of After-School Chess Club, shares how a father-son hobby turned into a study of why chess has held people's attention for more than 1,500 years. He walks through Miguel Najdorf's feat of holding 45 blindfolded chess games in his head at once, the built-in rating system that keeps every match in a flow state, and the habit of chess notation that teaches players to review their own decisions. Listeners come away with a clearer picture of why well-tuned difficulty curves matter, why chess maps onto Core Drive 3 (Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback) and Core Drive 7 (Unpredictability & Curiosity), and how curiosity itself works as a design tool. About the Host 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. Key Takeaways Miguel Najdorf played 45 simultaneous games of blindfolded chess in an exhibition, tracking every board from another room purely through memory. Chess's built-in rating system pairs players against evenly matched opponents, a real-world example of designing for flow state as difficulty rises with skill. Chess notation, the practice of recording every move, teaches players a habit of reviewing their own decisions that most people never apply outside the game. Judit Polgar broke Bobby Fischer's record to become the youngest grandmaster in chess history and remains the strongest female player of all time. Chess has held its relevance for roughly 1,500 years, traveling from the Gupta Empire through Persia and the European Renaissance. Dan Shapiro names curiosity as his personal superpower, mapping directly onto Core Drive 3 (Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback) and Core Drive 7 (Unpredictability & Curiosity).

His journey began as a father trying to support his son, Harry, and grew into a deeper exploration of why chess has been connected to genius for more than 1,500 years.

Ken lays out his one real argument for wanting Deshaun Watson to play well tomorrow: not to vindicate Watson himself, but because it would prove the offensive line, receiving corps, and Todd Monken's coaching are legitimately improved heading into the future. He acknowledges most former players and media members he's hearing from want Shedeur Sanders to start, and admits he'd lean that way too if the decision were purely emotional, but insists Watson's track record of costing people their jobs, legacies, and playoff chances means he'd still franchise tag or move on from him even in a best-case scenario. The segment also touches on a Duck Hunt and Mario Kart tangent, Zac Jackson's audio on Sanders' persistent lack of spiral, and the show debating whether "coming in hot" callers can meaningfully compare Browns quarterbacks to old Nintendo games.
