When the minigame becomes the game. This week, we've got some early impressions of Capcom's Pragmata, the much anticipated new action IP where third-person shooter and hacking minigame gameplay intertwine to make something truly unique. Hugh and Diana take their first steps in the wild journey within the Moon itself as the story beings. We've also got more progress in GTA IV and a big look at a recent full game playthrough of Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, the follow-up to the Nintendo Switch original. It's a pretty great game that does fall into some pitfalls of the genre, but we've got a lot to say. And of course, Marathon continues to be a wild experience. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

In 2014, Titanfall introduced players to a faster way of moving through a first person shooter battlefield. Built by Respawn Entertainment after the dramatic departure of its founders from Infinity Ward, the game blended high speed parkour movement with towering mechanized Titans that could crash onto the battlefield in the middle of a match. In this episode, we explore how a small team of veteran developers rethought multiplayer design by focusing on mobility, survivability, and cinematic moments inside competitive matches. We also look at the unusual development choices behind Titanfall, including its use of the Source engine, cloud based computing for artificial intelligence, and its role as one of the early flagship titles for the Xbox One. Along the way, we discuss the studio shakeup that led to Respawn's creation, the dramatic reveal at E3 2013, and how Titanfall 2 expanded the series with one of the most memorable single player campaigns of its generation. Join us as we call down a Titan and revisit the story behind Titanfall on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Why do we play tabletop roleplaying games? In this episode of Jaunty Mantis, we dive deep into the philosophy of RPGs—exploring power fantasy, collaborative storytelling, violence as conversation, rules vs. narrative, and why dice-driven games feel so different from novels, improv, or video games. Funny, thoughtful, occasionally unhinged, and deeply personal - heres what we cover: Whether RPGs are about story or process How power and agency evolve from adolescence to adulthood Why violence is baked into many RPG systems RPGs as ritual, catharsis, and even modern church The lessons roleplaying games teach us without permission Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio 00:00 Goblins, group projects, and chaotic RPG energy 04:20 Mechs, demons, china cabinets, and Chaos Earth 07:30 Music in RPGs & table atmosphere 12:45 Vampire: The Masquerade highlights (content warning) 18:30 Mage, aesthetics, and growing out of edgy design 19:25 So… what is the point of a roleplaying game? 21:15 Why not just write a novel? 23:10 RPGs, mythmaking, and the “magic circle” 28:40 Power fantasy: bad GMs vs. healthy agency 32:10 Sharing vs. surrendering authorial control 37:15 RPGs as bar stories and social rituals 38:50 Do rules matter? 45:30 Violence as conversation in RPGs 50:15 Story vs. process 53:20 What RPGs taught us about ourselves 56:40 Why this hobby matters so much

Things go quiet in the recharge chamber… a little too quiet. When Pythagoras vanishes in the middle of the night, the crew springs into action, chasing shadows across the darker alleys of Iacon. Magnum calls in a favor from an old contact: the elusive and paranoid information broker Wiretap.
