On this week's episode, Nathan, Gita, and Chris bathe in the afterglow of Aftermath's first-ever in-person party before hinting at big changes to come (the good kind) as a result of the site's upcoming second anniversary. Then we discuss the United States government's sudden gaming fixation, following a week of Halo memes from White House and Department Of Homeland Security accounts, as well as JD Vance's embarrassing reveal that he not only stays abreast of Twitch drama but is fluent in CollarGate, a widespread nontroversy about Hasan Piker turning out to be a secret dog torturer. After that, we move on to Amazon's devastating layoff of 14,000 people, including many of those working on New World, a once-popular MMO that's now being wound down. As it turns out, like many others, Amazon tried to take on Steam, and also like many others, it failed miserably. Finally, in honor of the surprise 3.0 update, we share our Animal Crossing: New Horizon opinions (Nintendo was too inspired by cozy games, a genre it basically invented with… Animal Crossing.)Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, & Chris Person- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

In this episode of The Corner of Story and Game, we sit down with Winter Mullenix and Tormod MacLean to explore what it really means to tell stories in open-world, player-driven spaces. Together, we dig into the challenges and opportunities of crafting narrative in sandbox MMOs, where story doesn't come from scripted quests alone, but from the players themselves.Winter and Tormod share insights from their work on large-scale projects, unpacking how narrative design can survive (and even thrive) in worlds defined by freedom.Whether you're building your first open-world game or looking for ways to weave narrative meaning into systems-driven experiences, this episode will help you think differently about what “story” really means in a sandbox MMO.Where to find Winter & Tormod:LinkedIn (Winter): https://www.linkedin.com/in/wintermullenix/LinkedIn (Tormod): https://www.linkedin.com/in/tormod-maclean-6b230012/EVE Online: https://www.eveonline.com/The Corner of Story and Game:DiscordFacebookInstagramBlueskyLinkedInEmail: gerald@storyandgame.com#NarrativeDesign #GameWriting #MMORPG #SandboxGames #OpenWorldDesign #EmergentStorytelling #GameDevelopment #StoryInGames #PlayerAgency #InteractiveNarrative #GameDesign #StorytellingInGames #TheCornerOfStoryAndGame #IndieDev #SystemsDesign #WritingForGames #BuildingWorlds #GameNarrative #NarrativeCraft #WorldBuilding

Bel shares some of the early spoilers for Path of Exile 3.27 Keepers of the Flame, which we are getting a full reveal for on the 23rd and is starting on the 31st.

From there, we dive into the topic that got bumped from last week about how there are so many good games… that it makes it really hard to play less-than-excellent games anymore. We also talk about how players are seeing through pointless grinds, and how AA games are back with a vengeance, while AAA games are floundering.

NetEase deja de financiar Project Ghost, el MMO de Greg ‘Ghostcrawler' Street. Si no encuentran publisher pronto, el estudio podría cerrar. Ghost mezclaba Blue Shards —instancias privadas con construcción y persistencia— y Red Shards —zonas públicas con bosses y raideo—, con muchas clases y diseño alt-friendly. Street defiende haber mostrado el juego muy temprano para validar ideas; ahora propone un ‘downscope': multijugador por sesiones, mitad de presupuesto, que podría crecer hacia el MMO completo.

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We start off the show with a discussion about how we all dogpiled on Discord and attempted the pre-release version of the MIT Mystery Hunt… and for those completely lost about the show title, one of the clues to one of the puzzles… was just the specific color of the Charlie XCX Brat Album. From there, Bel talks a bit about the Halloween event in Guild Wars 2 and how some folks take the Mad King's Labyrinth way the hell too seriously. Tam discusses what seems to be a complete rework of how the factions work in Infinity, and Bel discusses the launch of World of Warcraft Legion Remix. We talk a bit more about Hades II, and more specifically playing the game AFTER beating Cronos. Finally, Bel talks just a little bit about his early experiences in Blue Protocol, where he is trying to find the fun in the game. Topics Discussed: AggroChat vs Mystery Hunt Mad King's Labyrinth in GW2 Infinity Major Factions Update World of Warcraft Legion Remix Hades II Blue Protocol

Another very fun banger. A brief discussion on the pacification of Sports and how most Millennials are insufferable twats is followed by a larger geopolitical discussion surrounding Europe, Youth Protests, federalization and spending targets. Trust me it's some great on the fly analysis. We talk AI politicians installed in Albania (yes, this is real), and future of the country of Georgia. Syria sort of had an election, so very rump state of them. Bari Weiss is now leading CBS and wants to answer the question: What is a Jew? Shutdown discussion and strats are on the table and the hostage situation in Canada. All that and Much more.

Video games! More are coming and the ones that are here are under debate. Thats Gamescom 2025 for ya. A few winners grabbed our attention. Kyle is playing Hollow Knight.

We got the full rundown to help you pick your side. Garrett's watching Evangelion as an adult. All this and more.
The merch cluster is under attack. Pokemon Worlds took place in Anaheim this week and it was invaded by SCALPERS. While Garrett and Kyle attempt to fathom this, Japanese McDonald's was also forced to end their Pokemon Happy Meal tie-in early. Gamescom is tomorrow, and World of Warcraft is set to show its newest cinematic for Midnight. Dandadan, Alien: Earth, and so much more.
