The tubes are on fire. Or maybe they have been for a month. In a massive conspiracy turned reality, YouTubers found that they're views have dropped by half in the month of August due to YouTube's new features. Indie games don't know how to price themselves in the wake of Silksong's release. We got the Yoshi P interview round up covering all the teases and perhaps walkbacks on the upcoming job update. Blizzard continues to C&D classic plus private servers. Hollow Knight, Expedition 33 and more.  Supportourbromance.com if you're a player who likes change, but also for everything to remain the same, with exciting changes on the horizon.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week, we are down a Grace, and Bel botches the intro… but we keep moving forward. We start off the show with a brief discussion about Silksong effectively breaking every digital game distribution platform when it released this week. Kodra and Tam talk about puzzler Is This Seat Taken, and Bel reprises the discussion about Path of Exile II Third Edict and how it is actually rather good if you are playing a well-balanced class.  From there, Tam talks about Aero GPX and Sword of the Sea and how they give F-Zero and SSX Tricky vibes. Bel talks about playing Destiny Rising and how it is quite possibly a better Destiny game than anything we have gotten in many years.  We discuss Capes, and then dive into the meaty topic of the week and talk about some of our early interactions with Silksong.   Topics Discussed: Silksong Breaking All Storefronts Is This Seat Taken Path of Exile II is Actually Good Aero GPX Sword of the Sea Destiny Rising Capes Silksong Early Thoughts

Expedition 33 talk later, news first. Silksong is only $20 but Monster Hunter Wilds certainly wasn't. Blizzard shuts down Turtle wow, or plans to. Yoshi-P asks people to be nicer. Then our thoughts on the first 3 hours of Expedition 33. Emails and More

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! Happy Labor Day holiday weekend for our fellow countryfolk. We start off this show with Thalen making a reference to a dream that Bel had… which forces a recounting of the madness.  From there, we talk about Last Epoch and a completely silly build that Bel is playing, where things explode around him without doing anything.  Grace also talks a bit about their similarly silly single minion build that just melts most things.  Bel talks a bit about YoloMouse and how it solves the problem of not being able to find your cursor on screen.  From there, Tam talks a bit about PEAK, which is a new popular multiplayer frustration adjacent experience. Bel talks a bit about the launch of the Third Edict league in Path of Exile II and how it seems like none of the streamers are actually having fun… and he most definitely was not.  We close out the show with some discussion about some of the recent updates to Star Citizen and how it continues to shape up to actually being a game.   Topics Discussed: The Beefists Last Epoch Fun with Thorns and Aboms YoloMouse PEAK Path of Exile II Third Edict frustrations Star Citizen 2025 updates

Ursprünglich hatte es Blizzard schon nach dem Release versprochen - doch dann hat es über 20 Jahre gedauert, bis es World of Warcraft: Midnight nun endlich einführt: das Housing! Mit den WoW-Granden Ion Hazzikostas und Paul Kubit diskutiert Jules über das Eigenheim und andere Veränderungen.

Learn how human-centric AI is changing businesses by increasing productivity, improving customer service, and boosting employee satisfaction, all without replacing people.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene speaks with Mark Vange, CEO of Autom8ly, a company focused on human-centered AI solutions. Mark explains how his company is transforming business operations by using AI to enhance human work, making employees more productive instead of replacing them. From improving customer service in sectors like trucking and healthcare to enabling AI-supported marketing, Mark discusses how businesses can use AI to boost efficiency and profits while keeping the human touch.   Key Takeaways: → How collaborative AI can support businesses by enhancing employees' productivity. → The role of AI in automating everyday tasks like email marketing. → The importance of “confidence levels” in AI, balancing accuracy with real-world usability. → The challenge of keeping up with the rapid pace of technological advancements in AI while balancing human-scale adoption. → The value of entrepreneurial partners who can visualize cases in specific industries and collaborate with AI developers.   Mark Vange brings a vision for technology, manages international teams, and has extensive experience in cloud-based delivery of mobile and social products. He also has the knowledge of building and selling several companies. At age 10, Mark met and fell in love with the Apple II computer, which led him to set aside a promising career as a violinist and dive into business and technology. He sold his first program that same year, started his first company by age 13, and entered university with 25 employees and the year's top-selling video game under his belt. Since then, Mark has founded and sold multiple companies and has become a sought-after advisor and mentor.    Mark's first online success was VR-1, a company he helped grow into the world's largest publisher of Massively Multiplayer Games by creating a vision for MMO gaming, developing new communication protocols, and leading worldwide development efforts. Mark's most recent role was as Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts Interactive, which he joined through the acquisition of a company he co-founded, where he directed the development of EA's mobile, social, and online products and platforms.   Connect With Mark: Website LinkedIn   Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

Trump is headed to Sarah Palin's house in Alaska to see if he and Putin can come to deal on Ukraine. The Europeans and the left wing media are falling over themselves in hopes that he fails, but because land trade bad, death and killing good. A new peace deal and trade route through Kardashian homeland and Azerbijian bypasses the European need to free the black sea from the Ruskies and might set up Bad Orange Man for the Nobel Peace Prize? It's a TRIPP. China is so mad and Bongbong Marcos, that they rammed their own ship. Canadians have to stay inside because their government told them to. LOL. Elbows up! Young people are getting colon cancer and banging AI.

In de nieuwste aflevering van de Side Quest Podcast bespreken Sjaak, Tom en Nick hun eerste uren met het langverwachte Battlefield 6. Hoe speelt de game, wat valt op, en vooral: wat betekent dit voor de toekomst van FPS-games? Moet Call of Duty zich zorgen maken over de concurrentie? Tom en Nick hebben hun avonturen in Old School RuneScape voortgezet en delen hun nieuwste ontdekkingen in Gielinor. Ondertussen is Juliën teruggekeerd naar Final Fantasy XIV en vertelt hij waarom de MMO hem opnieuw wist te grijpen.

The World of Warcraft news cycle has begun with the approach of their Midnight expansion Cinematic. WoW plans to get rid of Addons, going the FFXIV route and freeing themselves of their ever escalating arms race. WoW has also claimed massive success with their recent One Button rotation option. Final Fantasy XIV has sales down by 23%, but what does that even mean? We watched Kpop Demon Hunters, Dandadan and more.

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are back after a week off, and like always, when that happens, we come back to a large stack of topics.  We start off talking about Hellclock and Grimshire, two great games that Grace has been playing quite a bit of.  From there, we discuss Kodra's adventures in GenCon as he talks about the various LARPs he played in and some exploration of the Starfinder 2 system.  Bel talks about how he has come to understand eSports through Path of Exile and discusses a bit about The Gauntlet event that is wrapping up.  Bel also talks about effectively trying to speed run several decades worth of advancements in wargaming as he juggles trying to figure out what paint range to invest in.  We briefly discuss our non-spoiler thoughts about The Fantastic Four movie, and then a few updates on the books we have been reading.   Topics Discussed: Hellclock Grimshire GenCon LARPS Starfinder 2 Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast Understanding eSports Path of Exile and The Gauntlet Speed Running Three Decades of Wargaming The Fantastic Four was Good Book Updates

Let's see how it went. Supportourbromance.com or he will never stop coming.
