Podcasts about metroid dread

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan and John debate something that's been simmering for years—who actually deserved Game of the Year? In this episode, we look back at GOTY winners and nominees from the past decade and make our case for which games should've taken home the crown. Was Sekiro really the best video in game in 2019? Did It Takes Two deserve to beat Metroid Dread and Resident Evil in one of gamings most mediocre years? And was Elden Ring truly unstoppable in 2022? We break down the biggest video game surprises, the most controversial wins, and the snubs that still haunt us. All the video game news and discussions you need, every week, right here on the Video Gamers Podcast!

With Halloween right around the corner, we thought that would be cool to take a spin around the world of Metroid and talk about the scariest areas and monsters, PLUS some areas that should have been scary, but unfortunately, were not. We go over areas such as the Wrecked Ship, GFS Valhalla, and Genetics Laboratory, cover monsters like the Nightmare, Corpius, and Experiment Z-57, and talk about the lack of dread in Metroid Dread and what we might have changed in the E.M.M.I. zones. All this, PLUS we go over our favorite Halloween games! Come hang out with us, and happy Halloween!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris attack the 10 20 30 40 with renewed vim and vigor! Yes, preparations were made to try and streamline the process and hopefully make the segment more entertaining and less Kris reading lists while trying to stay awake. The bad news is, very little of note came out this month on any platforms. EXCEPT a Sega CD game with a fantastic title that's hard to ignore. At the top of the show, Dan frustratingly didn't hear back about his biopsy, but he did manage to beat Metroid Dread with a level of ease that positively infuriated Kris. Also there was some new stuff happening in Marvel Snap. Meanwhile, Kris pontificates on the joys of dealing with internet folks who have a loose grip on what facts are, and watches his kids enjoy the Nintendo World Championships far more than he expected! That new Rocket Knight collection is pretty snazzy too. Finally, in Week Old News, the creator of Save Me Mr. Tako has a new game on Kickstrater that looks rad as heck, there's some long awaited movement on the Trogg Tech N64 Shells front, Nintendo strips Splatoon winners of their prizes and notoriety, AI continues to be used to steal from actual artists, and a whole lot more.

Welcome back to another week of Metroid talk! This time around, despite loving the reveal trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the guys share some of their critiques about what we saw. Each host has something a bit different that stood out to them; Doom noticed some of the animations and technical details in the trailer that underwhelmed, Dak took umbrage with the lack of new features and skills shown off, while Andy raised concerns about the timing and manner in which the trailer itself was released. There's a lot of devil's advocating in this show, so let us know if you share any of these concerns!

It's time for Part 2 of our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Q&A! Andy and Dak are back to tackle a whole slew of questions, including: how do we think Beams will work in terms of stacking or not? Could we see bonus content if there is a Metroid Dread save file on the Switch? Will the game be significantly larger in size than previous entries? Could there be a DLC campaign where you get to play as Sylux? Could Samus have a customizable base of operations in the game? Will Retro revisit the scrapped Meta Kraid concept cor Metroid Prime 1? What is the single best and single worst thing than Metroid Prime 4 can do? All this and so much more are on the table, PLUS a little wrestling talk and setting up the return of a fan favorite series next week when Definitive Ranking return to examine Metroid: Zero Mission!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Before we do that, we will do Coupon of the Week and some updates on my current writing projects. I have some questions from readers and will discuss what I did to celebrate publishing my 150th book. First up, Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Blade of the Elves (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. That coupon code is SPRINGELVES, spelled SPRINGELVES. As always, the link and the coupon code will be in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is valid through May the 14th, 2024, so if you need a new audiobook for spring, we have got you covered. Now let's have a look at my current writing and audiobook projects. Wizard-Thief, as I mentioned in last week's episode, is done and is out on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited and is selling quite strongly. Thank you very much for that. Now that it is out, my main project is Cloak of Titans, the 11th book in the Cloak Mage series. As of this recording, I am about 34,000 words into it, which puts me on Chapter 7 of 24. I think the final book length will end up being about the length of Cloak of Embers, which was about 110,000 words. Once Cloak of Titans is finished, my next project will be Shield of Darkness, so I will finally be getting to the second book in the Shield War series, which will be a follow up to Shield of Storms from back in January. If all goes well, I think Cloak of Titans will be out in the second half of May, maybe towards the start of June. I'm hoping to have Shield of Darkness out shortly after that, probably towards the end of June. I have also started working on the sequel to Wizard Thief, which is Half-Orc Paladin. That will come out after Shield of Darkness is done, hopefully not too long after Shield of Darkness is done. So that will probably be around the middle of July or so. So that is what I'm working on for books for the next couple of months. In audiobook news, recording is underway for Ghosts in the Veils. That will once again be recorded by Hollis McCarthy. I have Brad Wills working on the Tales of the Shield Knight anthology, which once it's in audiobook, I'm going to sell it as a bundle on Audible and Amazon and all the other usual audiobook stores. I will also be giving away short stories individually for free from that collection in my newsletter, so that is once again a very good reason to sign up for my new release newsletter. Leanne Woodward has agreed to narrate the second book in the Half-Elven Thief series, Wizard Thief. If all goes well, that will probably happen in June. And also in June, CJ McAllister will be narrating the second book of the Stealth and Spells Online Series, formerly known as Sevenfold Sword Online. So that is where I'm at with my current writing projects. Now we have one question from a reader that is not connected with our other segments. It's from Robert who asks about the Half-Elven Thief series: is this series available in paperback? I'm pleased to say that yes, it is. Both Half-Elven Thief and Wizard-Thief are available in trade paperback. Probably the cheapest place to get them is on Amazon, but I have expanded distribution for them so you should be able to buy it online from a variety of other stores. 00:03:43 Celebrating Book #150 As I mentioned previously on the show, Ghost in the Veils was my 150th book. Thank you for reading, everyone. Quite a few people asked how I wanted to celebrate, the implication being that I wanted to take a trip or something like a cruise, that sort of thing. However, with all respect to the cruise industry, if I wanted to catch norovirus, I could do it much closer to home for far less expense. However, I have established a precedent for celebrating major book milestones like this. Way back in 2019, Dragontiarna: Knights was my 100th book and to celebrate that milestone, I got a Nintendo Switch, which was the first dedicated video game console I had used since 1998 or so. Given that six months later COVID started, that turned out to be a wise purchase because suddenly I had a lot more time for video games. I got to beat a bunch of games I never had time to finish otherwise back in the ‘90s, like Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers 3, the original Castlevania trilogy for NES, the Super Nintendo Castlevania games, Super Metroid, and I finally finished Skyrim. It wasn't all a retro nostalgia trip because I did finish a few newer games on it as well, like Metroid Dread and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I recently had one of those numerically significant birthdays that are divisible by a large number, so I commemorated that occasion by getting an Xbox. It is a fine game console, but the problem with the Xbox was unlike the Switch, using the Xbox monopolizes the television. I finished the original Halo trilogy on Xbox and Skyrim again, but the whole Xbox monopolizes the television thing was kind of a difficulty for finding time to play it. But then a new device came to my attention: portable monitors. Obviously, most monitors are portable depending on size, but this new sort of monitor is basically a laptop LCD panel with a kickstand. It runs off a USB-C connection for power and you can connect a device to it with a USB-C or mini HDMI. Overall, these portable monitors tend to weigh about as much as an iPad in a case. They were basically intended for business travelers, since they fit easily into a laptop bag and then you can have a dual monitor set up with your laptop while you're on the road. However, it also connects just fine to an Xbox. If you can hold a laptop comfortably in your lap, then a portable monitor is about one third of that total weight. I moved my Xbox over next to the couch, connected it to a portable monitor, and have been using the Xbox that way. It is really quite exceedingly comfortable. Since I've beaten Skyrim a couple of times now, I need to decide on a new long-term game, which is why Question of the Week will be what it is shortly. So the “too long; didn't listen” version was celebrated my 150th book with a sub-100 dollar portable monitor off Amazon. It's really quite enjoyable and thank you for coming along for all 150 books. 00:06:35 Question of the Week It quite naturally segues into our Question of the Week. This week's question: what Xbox Game should I play next? No wrong answers, obviously. The reason I asked this particular question is because I keep defaulting to Skyrim or Halo when I play an Xbox game and would like to try something different. My leading candidates so far are Starfield, Witcher 3, and Dragon's Dogma 1. As you might have expected, this inspired many comments. LG says: I'm glad to hear you're an Xbox player, too. I like to separate my work/study computer from my gaming space, so having the controller plus TV in another room works well for me. Revenant 2 is my new favorite game. It jumped forward in my “to play” list when Halo Infinite's campaign wasn't personally feeling right. This game has got fantastic narratives, brilliant variety, exciting exploration, and frequent boss fights, it's souls-like but forgiving, the level/combat/gear systems are great, and there's a totally viable offline/single player mode. Justin says: We are a Nintendo family. Not quite 30 years ago, the PlayStation came out. Amid whining, I had the kids vote on what platform we would stick with. There is no way our entertainment budget could handle more than one. The most complaints have been missing out on the Metal Gear franchise, so that's my vote. Malcolm says 150 books. What an amazing feat. Congratulations. I feel like I've been on the journey with you, having read every book you have written and every series. I particularly enjoyed any book with Ridmark and Calliande and like Dragonskull, the next generation of Arbans. I also thoroughly enjoyed all the Demonsouled books, wasn't so keen on the Cloak and Ghost crossovers, but still a good read. Whatever you do, enjoy this landmark. Have fun. To answer the question, I do not usually play video games, but one that did catch my attention and play through all of them is the Dragon Age games. MacKenzie suggests Red Dead Redemption. The graphics hold up remarkably well. It's astoundingly clear for a Rockstar game and has an amazingly authentic feel to it. I'm not even a huge Western fan, but there's something extremely relaxing about riding out of town into the desert to hunt varmints. I think that is probably why so many people will go hunting in real life. Michael says: Starfield is a great game, but no modding yet on Xbox. Perry says: I haven't owned a console in over a decade, nor have I played any of those games, but my preference would be for Witcher 3. James says: How does Baldur's Gate 3 not make the list? Best game I've played maybe ever. David says: Fallout 4 was fun. Mark says Witcher. Starfield, I found to be slow to start with. I play Skyrim over and over again. I kind of do that as well. You can always mod Skyrim if you have the anniversary edition and haven't already. Robb says any car racing game. Juana says Witcher 3. Martin says Witcher 3. Becca says Witcher 3. So there are many votes there for Witcher 3. William says Hogwarts Legacy. Jake says: I honestly can't recommend any games, no matter what platform they come in. Xbox, PlayStation, Atari…just not worth it anymore. So I'd skip the games and write a book, maybe continuation of the Silent Order series. That's my vote. Thank you for that advice, Jake, I suspect it might be a little self-interested, but I appreciate that. Next one is from Michael, who says next Xbox game is called: buy a PlayStation. Barton says: only played Witcher 3 out of those, but it was engrossing. Bobby says Starfield and Hogwarts Legacy are both enjoyable as well as Jedi Survivor. And finally, Jim says: Child of the Ghost. Wait…not a game….yet. Thank you everyone, for all the suggestions. I think what I'm actually going to do is I'm going to try Starfield because that comes with Game Pass and I have Game Pass already. If I don't like that, I will I probably start Witcher 3 because I got that one was on super sale like last year for something like 10 bucks and so it's been sitting in my account and I haven't played it. But if I try Starfield and don't like it, I will switch over to Witcher 3. If I don't like Witcher 3, maybe it'll be time for Baldur's Gate 3. 00:10:40 Main Topic: Shopify vs. Payhip for Direct Sales for Writers But as much as I enjoy video games, I enjoy writing more and this is not a video game podcast. This is The Pulp Writer Show, so I think we should segue over into talking about an actual writing topic. This week's topic is comparing Shopify and Payhip for direct sales or as a direct sales platform for indie authors. And before we dig in, I should have a disclaimer. As you may know from my frequent mention of it on this show, I use Payhip quite a bit and that's how I do my direct sales. That said, I am not sponsored by Payhip. I don't get any stuff from this, whether financial benefits or an affiliate program, that kind of thing. I haven't used Shopify, but we did look into it quite a bit for the show and any opinion I express on this podcast is my own and not influenced by either Shopify or Payhip in any way. All right with that out of the way, let's dig into the topic. First off, why do direct sales? We should probably define that first. Direct sales is when an indie author sells a book using an ecommerce platform like Payhip or Shopify or Gum Road or a bunch of others without going through one of the big stores like Amazon or Apple or Google Play. So why do this? You get a greater cut of the profit than through ebook stores, whereas on a platform like Amazon, you max out at 70% of the sale price is what you get as the author. On direct sales platforms, you can potentially get nearly everything minus credit card fees and platform fees, which is higher than any of the other stores offer. You get paid faster. If you make a direct sale from the author, the author gets the money almost instantaneously, depending on their payment setup. Freedom/control. This is the big one. There is a lot of freedom in doing your own direct sales. It is a lot of work, but then like all forms of freedom, it is often quite worth it. It's much easier to run sales or issue coupon codes, as you know if you listen to the show regularly. Every week I give out a different coupon code for a discount on my Payhip store. It's also very good for people who want to sell online courses or memberships, which is not something I'm interested in doing. People who are interested in doing that usually need to employ an online sales platform such as Shopify or Payhip rather than trying to sell it on something like Amazon or eBay. There are a couple of things to note about trying direct sales. There is quite a bit of learning curve since you have to set up the store yourself and that involves a lot of clicking and uploading and so forth. You also need to learn about things about like Value Added Tax, shipping, file delivery services, etcetera. And if you are selling in the United States, you also have to be careful you comply with whatever these sales tax laws are for your jurisdiction or for where you're selling in the United States. Direct sales don't count towards ranking on other platforms, if that's something that's important to you, if you want your book to be a number one category bestseller on Amazon, direct sales will not help with that. It does take a bit of time to set up and maintain, and it also takes time for readers to get used to it and will not likely be a large portion of your sales, especially at first, since users tend to stick to the platform where they already have built up a library. This is one of the reasons why the Steam game platform is so dominant, because it's been around for a long time and a lot of the users have very big Steam libraries, so they're not super keen on jumping to a different distributor. Readers will need a carrot not a stick to get them to try a new platform, which is one of the reasons why I do those coupon codes all the time. So now to the actual nitty gritty of Payhip versus Shopify. We can sum it up quite neatly by saying it this way: Payhip is primarily designed for digital products. Shopify is primarily designed for physical products, but both are capable of selling either physical or digital products. Shopify allows for greater analytics and customization, while Payhip has a great basic service that keeps the costs low. So in terms of pricing, which costs more? Payhip pricing has three tiers. There is the free tier, which you pay obviously $0 per month and then Payhip takes 5% of each transaction. There is the middle tier, where you pay $29 USD per month and Payhip takes 2% of the transaction. Then there is the top, most expensive tier, which costs $99 USD per month and Payhip takes 0% of the transaction fee. Obviously, you would only consider that tier if you were making more than $1,200 USD a year in direct sales. Shopify does not have a free tier. At the basic tier, it costs $39 USD per month and Shopify takes 2.9% + $0.30 USD per transaction. At $105 USD per month, Shopify takes 2.6% + $0.30 USD per transaction. At $399 USD per month, Shopify takes 2.4% + $0.30 USD per transaction. We can see that with Shopify, you are already going to be paying more out the door. If you're just starting with direct sales, it might make more sense to start with the free tier on Payhip and then look at more costly options on either service as your needs grow and if you need the additional, more expensive features. So let's look at the pros on Payhip. The biggest pro on Payhip is low bar to entry in both terms of cost and in terms of technology needed to create a basic storefront. I've been doing direct sales on Payhip since 2021, and it's a very simple platform to use. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but it's not a huge one compared to something like WordPress or Adobe Photoshop. As we mentioned, the lowest tier plan is free but with a 5% cut of sales. The Pro plan, the top tier that we mentioned earlier, is $99 USD but then there are no transaction fees. It can handle UK/EU Value Added Tax automatically unlike Shopify because Payhip is based out of the UK, so that is built into their platform. Payhip also has some handy features that Shopify doesn't or that Shopify doesn't offer without like a plug-in app, that kind of thing that Shopify offers: settings for selling online courses, memberships, affiliate marketing, and a referral system. When I have had to contact Payhip about some sort of tech issue, I've always found their customer support to be very fast and responsive. As I mentioned before, I'm not being paid to say that. That is just my own personal experience. The pros for Shopify are basically for more advanced users, I think. $29 USD a month for the lowest pricing plan and then plus a cut and plus a transaction fee, that can add up if you have a lot of transactions. I think Shopify is really aimed more toward more advanced users than someone starting out with the basic ebook store on Payhip. However, to be fair, you do get a lot of stuff for that money. Shopify has an advanced website builder feature with more customization options on the pages. It has much more advanced SEO and analytics tools than anything Payhip offers. It is very useful if you're selling physical products. It also offers features to support delivery of physical items, such as customized shopping options based on location. More third-party apps or third-party payment options are available through Shopify (for example, Amazon Pay or Apple Pay). Shopify does offer a lot of customization and it does have a pretty good app store, where if there's a feature that Shopify doesn't have, there's a pretty good chance you can find one of the apps in their store that will sort of offer bolt on functionality for the new feature that you are looking for. So, in conclusion, if you want to do direct sales as an indie author, should you use Payhip or should you use Shopify? And as so often in these cases there is no right answer, there is merely the tool that is best suited for your needs as an indie author and a small businessperson. If you want to be able to heavily customize the site, Shopify offers more options for that than Payhip. If you are primarily selling digital products like I am, then Payhip offers better value, because you can just go with the free tier and still make more money than you would selling for the same price off Amazon. Since I don't really at this time have any interest in selling physical products online, Payhip it is. That said, if you do want to sell printed books or your own merchandise direct, then Shopify is the way to go. But if you don't have any of that kind of stuff and you still want to keep your shop costs low, then Payhip is probably the better option for you since you can use their free tier. So that is a look at Shopify versus Payhip and if you are thinking about direct selling as an indie author, I hope you have found that helpful. So that is it for this week.

It's a bittersweet week for us here at Omega Metroid, as the long suspected but recently confirmed demise of E3 was made official. Instead of being sad that E3 is over, however, the fellas decide to be glad that it happened and take a two hour trip down memory lane reminiscing about Metroid's finest moments at the gaming showcase. From the highest of high's - Ridley debuting in Smash Bros., Reggie's introduction of the DS and Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime 4's reveal, and the resurrection of Metroid Dread - to the lowest of lows - Federation Force's disastrous reveal, Samus Returns skipping the main show, multiple years of no Metroid to begin E3's life - we glance over it all. Come pour one out with us for E3, and check out Doom's E3 notes here (complete with links to all trailers and reveals!). All this, plus some other memories of Zelda, Halo, the Revolution, and more! Also, an important notice - WE'RE TAKING NEXT WEEK OFF FOR CHRISTMAS, SO THERE WON'T BE A NEW SHOW!

I've got some oomph in my bloom. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're talking about Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a new 2D Mario platformer, which in a weird way kind of feels like part of a trend of Nintendo making more nostalgic releases, like Pikmin or Metroid Dread and remaking Link's Awakening and Mario RPG. Mario Wonder is a classic 2D Mario game like we haven't seen since the New Super Mario Bros. games, but unlike those games, Wonder has a direct goal of making more innovations and changing the basic gameplay of Mario. This is a AAA video game, though, so don't expect something so radically different and risky, but with a more whimsical aesthetic and a surprising mechanical section in each level, it certainly feels much different than past games. And this is definitely a good thing, Wonder lives up to its name by giving you something new to discover in each course and encourages you to explore to ensure you see as much of it as you can. In addition, the game contains new powerups, a badge system that can change your moveset and the layouts of the world as well. All this to say, this game isn't the next best thing in the history of platformers or even just Mario. It is refreshing, and fun, and well designed and it looks and sounds very pretty, but it isn't going to stress your abilities, it isn't jam-packed with content and much of the gameplay is straight out of previous titles in the series. This makes up the bulk of our conversation: in a very mechanically driven genre, is what Mario Wonder provides different enough to be recommended despite the polish that comes with being a first party Nintendo title, is it too different, with differences in kind appearing partway through every single level while not giving the base platforming room to shine? We'll discuss this and also be talking about the importance of collectibles and how they influence you as you play, the difficulty management present in the badge and character systems, and we take a hard stance on how Toads are treated in the Mario canon. Thank you for listening again this week! As one of the more anticipated Nintendo releases this year, we were excited to get into it and it is interesting to see how it compared to each of our expectations. Or maybe it was very boring to see and I'm just trying to drum up excitement to try to convince you to listen to our podcast, who's to say? Either way, what did you think of Mario Wonder? Are we just extremely old and have been playing platformers for too long, or was this game easier than you would have expected? Let us know in the comments or over in our Discord! We are getting into the holiday season and so next time, we're going to be getting into the spirit by talking about that classic Christmastime game: Trapt on the PS2. We hope you'll join us then, if only to figure out how that makes sense.

Now that we've had a few years to chew on Metroid Dread, the gang gets together to discuss Metroid 6, and more specifically things we DON'T want to see Metroid 6 do. Topics on the talking block that we don't want Metroid 6 to do include: abandon the Metroid Suit and its abilities; bring back the Pulse Scan in its current version, particularly when it could be replaced by a new-and-improved X-Ray Scope; limit exploration and guide you too directly where to go; feature the Power Bomb as the final powerup acquired; have lore information, like that found in the Dread Reports, not be available in the game again; and so much more! All this, PLUS some quick NFL and NHL chat and some Halloween plan discussions! Come hang with us as we look forward to what's next!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Welcome to a brand new segment on the podcast that we're calling Logbook Archives: the series with a focus on deep diving into the in-universe lore of the Metroid series! To kick things off, we look at the most feared faction in the galaxy: The Space Pirates! In this 2-hour+ epic, we detail their various movements and plots, covering things like what exactly are the Space Pirates? What is their hierarchy like? Is Ridley the leader of the group, an enforcer or something else? When would Samus have confronted Weavil before? How many different factions of Pirates are there? Are they truly defeated… or just biding their time? All this and so much more, PLUS some reflection on Metroid Dread's two year anniversary and Canadian vs. American thanksgiving!
