Photo by Michael Martine, Hamptonville, North Carolina, Oct 2018 Published 27 July 2026 e562 with Andy and Michael M – EMFCamp recap, whole lot of LEGO love, the game of life, a Playdate mini MMO, AR assisted murals and a whole lot more! Andy and Michael M start off with a recap of Andy's experiences at EMF Camp while Michael R is away for this episode. Andy shares his experiences, describes the “Monumental GameBoy”, how visitors to his campsite enjoyed playing his LEGO pinball machine and his updates to the EMF badge (such as Pigs in Space!). Check out the show notes below for a few visual links, including the Joust game for the Tildagon badge and more. Michael M went to an event at a local arcade in Chapel Hill and only noticed as he was leaving that they too had a Joust cabinet game. Andrzej Marczewski wrote an article in gamified.uk about the game of life – not the one by Hasbro or Conway – rather the game of life itself with resources to manage and protect. Andy and Michael enjoyed Andrzej's take, especially how he treated progress and score. Going from the macro to the micro, the team also took a look at the Playdate miniMMO PointlessQuest. Andy may give this a shot on his Playdate soon! Next, it's on to LEGO, and there are so many new cool drops from Billund. Andy already mentioned his pinball table during the EMF recap. After checking out the playable Donkey Kong game, the pair then takes a look at the new Star Trek Enterprise 1701 bridge. With 8 minifigs from the original series, and features such as the rocking command chair, transporter room actions and troubling Tribbles, there's something for every Star Trek fan. And the team just loved just how many LEGO bricks it took to make the Enterprise bridge set. Then, Andy and Michael take a look at how an artist created a mural using sketchar.io augmented reality – just like using transparencies and an overhead projector from days of yore. If that doesn't ring a bell, have a look at the YouTube from the Computer History Museum below. Many thanks to @lxs@fosstodon.org for sharing this mural designing video with us!

Revelations: WoW Storytelling and a Midsummer Resurrection - Ep 41 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD available at: https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes Welcome to Episode 41! – 4:22 I'm finding more time in game, a bit of a resurrection! Update on my keybinds change and a preview of the episode. Also, sorry speakers of Finnish for my appropriation of your language in the intro bit! News – 15:45 Sticking to my prediction that 12.1 will arrive on August 11 at the end of TT and right on the 8 week cadence List of 12.1 features, courtesy of Blizzard Watch Discord integration coming for WoW Guild/Community Chat – look for it in the SQ Discord site Short story “The Bitter Truth” now available as PDF and 21 minutes of lightly animated audio narrations on YouTube; good flavor for the Amani-Blood Elf rivalry, but nothing you need to succeed in game “What Have You Done Lately?” – 32:18 The Fire Festival brings all the boys to the yard, apparently. I've been taking some of my own advice and running Dragon Soul, celebrating the Fire Festival, and doing both Timewalking dungeons for the cool mount and running the Sporefall raid four times for that mount. Go me hitting the group content! Drink of the Month – 43:30 Fiery Festival Brew is the Drink of the Month celebrating Midsummer Fire Festival! Main Topic – Quality of Storytelling in WoW – 1:03:07 The 12.1 announcement spoiled some of the 12.0.7 story even before it hit the live game. Why is it difficult to tell the story of Warcraft in an MMO? Discussion of those issues and a breakdown of the YouTube video “The Inherent Problems With World of Warcraft's Storytelling (And How To Enjoy It Anyway)” from Discordian Kitty. Check it out at: http://youtu.be/B1USxjQUO4U Side Quest – Are You Hiding in WoW or Healing In It? – 1:54:28 YouTube creator Saltynips posted a video discussing the nature of the solo experience in WoW. It is thoughtful, though differs from why I play solo. Check it out at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4f5Q0heiD0&t=54s Closing Thoughts – 2:00:41 I haven't been hiding in WoW, but am working on healing in it. Thanks for all of you for supporting me and the show even in some slow WoW times for me. Outro – 2:04:04 Big thank you to Spencer and JASON at The Starting Zone, the folks at Blizzard Watch, Discordian Kitty, and Saltynips for making great content that I used or commented on in this episode!

In Episode #754, acclaimed storyteller and video game writer Frank Barbiere (Astonishing Times) and award-winning game writer and comics newcomer Stephen Rhodes talk about Zero Instance, the first issue now available through Comixology Originals! Frank and Stephen are bringing their expertise in video games to comics, and the first issue of Zero Instance is now available. Here's this book's description: "Rhys, a directionless college grad thought logging into his favorite MMO was just another raid with his friends, but they are shocked to find their boss fight glitching. When Chris—his best friend—doesn't log out, Rhys is forced to confront a terrifying truth: the lines between game and reality are vanishing. As an experimental AI known as Braxir begins to manipulate smart systems, twist human behavior, and build a base of operations in the real world, Rhys must decide if he's ready to lead when the game is over—and the stakes are real." We talk about how this book came to be, who the various characters are, and what else Stephen and Frank are up to these days!

This week, Zak and Aaron are back to talk about the biggest event in the history of the games industry, and why it could still be considered a failure in the eyes of investors. That's right, Grand Theft Auto VI, the game to end all games and save manufacturers from languishing console sails, could absolutely flop. If its hotly anticipated online component doesn't just meet, but exceed the astronomical financial figures posted by GTA V since its launch in 2013, the future of Rockstar and its 5,000-plus employees may be a lot less stable than previously imagined.Sources:I Cant Believe You've Done This - PWee28Take-Two's real GTA 6 jackpot may not be the game itself - The StreetGTA 5 Statistics 2026 - Axis Intelligence ResearchGTA Online Leak Reveals $5 Billion In Revenue, Shocking Spending Habits - RockstarIntelGTA 6 is a 'singleplayer experience', leaving me to question what's going on with GTA Online - PC GamerGTA 6 Doesn't Mean The End Of GTA Online, Says Take-Two CEO - KotakuGTA 6 Has the Highest Break-Even Threshold in Entertainment History - GTABoomListen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck Out MosscatMarket on Instagram

Episode description (full):A trade group that speaks for nearly every major game publisher told California lawmakers that running a private or community server is piracy. The catch: you can download a Minecraft server from Minecraft's own website, for free. So what did the ESA actually mean?We brought back Jonathan Yarbor, co-founder of game-server host Nodecraft, to cut through the outrage with the actual law and economics. We break down the difference between a bootleg server that steals an MMO's revenue and the licensed community and private servers most players actually use, why AAA studios walked away from private servers in the first place (hint: 10 to 25 cents per player, per month), and the four-word fix Jonathan thinks changes everything: license, don't litigate.We also get into City of Heroes coming back from the dead, why Minecraft's real magic was never the game itself, and the legal-plus-technical-plus-revenue "trifecta" that's finally making publishers say yes. Context: the ESA's comments came while opposing California's AB 1921, the Protect Our Games Act, which failed committee on June 29 but was granted reconsideration, and the Stop Killing Games campaign says it's taking the fight national.Short description (for feeds/Shorts):The ESA called private servers piracy.

Klassische MMO RPGs stecken in der Krise: Westliche Mammutprojekte werden seltener, während aus Asien ein regelrechter Import-Tsunami auf uns zurollt. Doch sind Spiele wie Honor of Kings World, AION 2 oder sogenannte „MMO Lights“ wirklich die Rettung des Genres? Gemeinsam mit Leya, Karsten und Simon (Entenburg) von MeinMMO beleuchtet Magdalena die Geschichte der MMO-Wellen, sprechen über das finanzielle Risiko für westliche Studios und diskutieren, warum der „Asia-Grind“ den Markt für immer verändern könnte.

MMO-Fan zu sein, erfordert aktuell extrem gute Nerven. Seit dem letzten großen Boom in den 2010er Jahren reiht sich im Westen gefühlt ein Fail an den nächsten. Eingestellte Projekte wie das Herr der Ringe MMO, krasse Abstürze wie bei Ashes of Creation und chronischer Content-Mangel lassen viele Spieler frustriert zurück. Gemeinsam mit Sophia Weiß, Karsten Scholz und Simon "Entenburg" sprechen wir über den Schmerz der Community, warum westliche Triple-A-MMOs inzwischen so extrem teuer und riskant sind und ob der asiatische Markt oder das mysteriöse Riot MMO uns noch retten können.

We are joined by returning guest Pint, new guest Girl_DM, and surprise guest: the English voice actor of Qifrey, Joshua Waters. Sit back, draw a real nice circle and join us for a chat about this wonderful show. (There will be no spoilers past the point of the show, though several of us have read the manga and many allude, dance around or share excitement for the future.

While waiting to begin a dungeon run, a random group of MMO players encounter Pookamhura, a gnome rogue inspired by Shakespeare's Puck. As they wait, they reflect on their shared history as gamers and people, using original songs and humour. One player reveals a secret that causes tension and challenges the group, forcing them to confront their prejudices and make difficult choices. The story explores themes of self-discovery, identity, and the complexities of life's adventures."The original music written by Chris Cracknell, will have you clapping and laughing; the choreography and lore are rich, the dwarves are mighty!”

MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site. Is het hitteprotocol voor het aankomende weekend al opgesteld? Heb je de waterijsjes en de flessen water al ingeslagen? Want het wordt zweten de komende dagen: 35 graden in het zuiden is een mogelijkheid. Dat betekent dat het bij ons nog vijf graden warmer is in de studio, met dank aan de spotlights. Maar dat maakt ons niks uit. Huey, Jelle en Koos zorgen voor een verkoelende en verkwikkende editie van Einde van de Week Live. Ze hebben het in deze aflevering onder andere over de reveal van de GTA 6 cover, de officiële mededeling van PlayStation dat hun first party SP-games nu exclusief worden en de specs van de Steam Machine. Dit alles en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 19 juni 2026. Post reveal GTA 6 cover op X binnen no-time 10 miljoen keer bekeken Andere topics die in deze video voorbijkomen zijn een patent voor een nogal aparte controller van PlayStation, een toffe actie van Square Enix om Japanners te motiveren hun inkomstenbelasting op tijd in te leveren en de eerste beelden van de shooter No Law die gemaakt is met behulp van de meest recente versie van de Unreal 5 engine.

Keer terug naar een sterk verbeterd Elder Scrolls Online, waar de nieuwe content voortaan gratis is The Elder Scrolls Online is al 12 jaar lang een van de meest populaire MMO’s van het moment. Bethesda wil dat succes nog wel even voorzetten. Daarom hebben ze drastische maatregelen genomen om de game toffer, laagdrempeliger en aantrekkelijker dan ooit te maken. We stuurden Jasper terug naar Tamriel om te kijken of Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk verbeteringen bracht. Verbeteringen die hem en vele andere (afgehaakte) spelers kunnen motiveren om terug het avontuur in te duiken.

¡NUEVO PROGRAMA! Para despedir esta temporada hemos querido juntarnos con nuestros amigos de OPV (Otro Podcast de Videojuegos), para charlar un ratico de nuestras cosas: Cómo es dejar un MMO, empezar un proyecto de podcast, o las movidas de Xbox.

We sit down with Pokemaster JoCat to learn a thing to or about the wild world of Nuzlockes! JoCat is fresh off their own Pokemon Journey and shares all the required rules for our upcoming Soul Silver / Heart Gold adventure. But It doesn't stop there: Garrett and Kyle have built the tech to take this adventure to the next level. Our upcoming Soul Link adventure will be also Randomized. Jocat has a few tips and house rules that might elevate some pressure, but it's going to be an uphill battle with our terribily outdated knowledge. We also open some random starters to get a feel for the meta and what we will need to know. Supportourbromance.com and all your pulls will be Garchomp.

Deze aflevering van Gamekings Daily is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/MN6jWTSmiPs Deze editie van GK Daily was opgenomen voordat de eerste berichten naar buiten kwamen dat XBOX mogelijk studio’s als Compulsion, Arkane en Ninja Theory wilde sluiten of afstoten. Welkom bij Gamekings Daily. De gaming vodcast waarin twee hosts van Gamekings kwebbelen over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld der videogames. We zijn aangekomen bij de dinsdag en het is opnieuw Jasper die plaats heeft genomen achter de desk. De twee praten over het interview met de grote baas van From Software, Hidetaka Miyazaki. Waar de aandeelhouders schreeuwen om commerciële inkoppers als Bloodborne 2 en een nieuwe Dark Souls, wil de even eigenwijze als briljante Japanner zich liever focussen op het maken van originele, nieuwe IP's. Wat denkt Jasper daarvan, fan als hij is van de laatste games van From Software? Heeft Miyazaki gelijk of moet hij niet moeilijk doen en de fans gewoon geven wat ze graag willen? En dat is bijvoorbeeld een vervolg op Bloodborne. Dit en andere onderwerpen zie en hoor je voorbij komen in de Gamekings Daily van dinsdag 16 juni 2026. From Software wil geen gemakzuchtige sequels maken Jasper en JJ praten in deze editie ook over de productiekosten van Gears of War E-Day. De game die op 6 oktober uitkomt, gaat XBOX een slordige 400 miljoen dollar kosten. Hoe kan dat en is het spel dat bedrag wel waard? Ze spreken ook over de aankondiging van Spyro: A Realm Beyond. Een nieuw avontuur met het vrolijke draakje komt eraan, omdat de community er zo vocaal om vroeg. Hoe kijken de beide heren tegen deze aankondiging aan en vinden ze dat meer uitgevers dit zouden moeten doen? Voor welke game zouden zij hard willen schreeuwen? Je krijgt het antwoord in deze video. Werkt Xbox aan een MMO in het Halo universum? Xbox wil mogelijk de grote IP's wat meer naar voren gaan brengen. Halo hoort daar natuurlijk bij. Er gaat het gerucht dat Xbox al een jaar of twee in het geheim puzzelt aan een MMO in het Halo universum. Zien de heren wat in dit idee of heeft het weinig kans van slagen? Voorspel de uitslag van Nederland - Zweden en win een Hue Starterskit Met de lampen van Philips Hue kun je niet alleen jouw spel- en kijkervaring bij games en films verbeteren, het kan ook bij het kijken naar het WK. Met behulp van de Live Sports functie in de Hue app krijg je een fraaie lichtshow als Oranje of een ander team wat je support, scoort. Het enige wat je nodig hebt, is de Hue starterskit en een paar lampen. Heb je die niet? Voorspel de uitslag van Nederland - Zweden en wie weet krijg jij een starterskit thuisgestuurd. Om mee te doen hoef je alleen de uitslag in de comments onder de YouTube short of TikTok video waarin Koos laat zien hoe deze functionaliteit werkt, te zetten.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Gamekings óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

Destiny 2 stürmt ausgerechnet zum Abschied Platz 1 der weltweiten Steam-Verkaufscharts. Was eigentlich ein Grund zum Feiern wäre, besiegelt in Wahrheit die offizielle Beerdigung des beliebten MMO-Shooters, denn mit dem finalen Update „Monument of Triumph“ wechselt das Spiel dauerhaft in den reinen Wartungsmodus – neue Erweiterungen oder Seasons wird es nie wieder geben. Warum kommt diese gewaltige Welle der Begeisterung erst jetzt, wo es eigentlich viel zu spät ist? Wie konnten Sony und Bungie ein einstmals so erfolgreiches Franchise strategisch so sehr gegen die Wand fahren? Und warum setzt die Chefetage alles auf das strauchelnde neue Projekt Marathon, während ein treues Millionen-Publikum praktisch im Regen stehen gelassen wird? Darüber diskutieren Lea, Micha, Leya und Dariusz intensiv im neuen GameStar-Talk. Was sagt ihr zum endgültigen Aus des Sci-Fi-MMOs? Schreibt uns eure Meinung direkt in die Kommentare!

The Masters of the Universe movie is finally here, and it lands a lot closer to Guardians of the Galaxy than anyone expected. This week we break down the live action He-Man swing in full, from Nicholas Galitzine's early Chris Pratt energy as Prince Adam to a Skeletor performance that turns into the most fun anyone has had hiding Jared Leto behind a mask, then we tear through the biggest gaming week of the year across three separate showcases. We rank PlayStation State of Play, Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase, and the order might surprise you. Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey carry the PlayStation side, Summer Game Fest leaves us cold outside of Guild Wars 3 and the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, and Xbox makes the strongest argument for itself in years with Gears of War, a slicker Fable, Clockwork Revolution and Halo Campaign Evolved running on Unreal Engine. We close with the new Xbox exclusivity push, what AI showing up in Crazy Taxi could mean, and a Dungeon Crawler Carl recommendation worth your time. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and Best of 2026 So Far 02:30 Masters of the Universe Movie Review 23:30 Final Grades for Masters of the Universe 25:23 PlayStation State of Play: Wolverine and God of War Laufey 36:41 Summer Game Fest Reactions 45:16 Xbox Games Showcase: Fable, Gears, Halo and More 1:01:26 Ranking All Three Showcases 1:05:08 Network Update and Weekly Recommendations Key Takeaways Masters of the Universe leans fully into its cheesy 80s cartoon DNA, and that commitment is exactly why the one liners and over the top tone work instead of feeling forced. Skeletor is the surprise of the movie, with the bone effects and tuned voice landing as a cackling, failing upward villain, and the Evelyn dynamic adds a real layer to him. Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey were the PlayStation standouts, with Laufey's faster, more aerial combat and direct ties back to the 2018 God of War opening the door to new mythologies. Summer Game Fest underwhelmed overall, though Guild Wars 3 reads like a serious MMO contender with no subscription and no battle pass, and the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake got real excitement. Xbox made the loudest case for its own brand, leaning into true exclusives, with Gears of War, a more polished Fable delayed to February 2027, Clockwork Revolution, and Halo Campaign Evolved moving to Unreal Engine for a July 28 release. The new Xbox direction raises bigger questions, from undoing the Game Pass price increase to Crazy Taxi becoming an early test case for AI as a development tool. Quotes "Idris Elba, eternally a badass. I just love that dude." On Skeletor: "almost like an evil drag queen laughing and cackling 80s cartoon Skeletor." "People say the gaming console wars is over. No, it's not, because that's what drives us, dammit." "Don't skip any Geek Freaks." On AI in Crazy Taxi: "If you laid off anybody for AI, then go screw yourself."

Lords: Aubrey http://glowhno.com/ Avery Topics: Every day since 1981 Yuri Borisovich Norstein and his wife Francheska Yarbusova have worked on their masterpice--an animated adaptaion of Gogol's short story The Overcoat. They couple is now in their 80s and will most likely never complete their film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Overcoat_(animated_film) Video game urban legends https://vimeo.com/91436410 https://saint-arthur.tumblr.com/post/146680746144/riding-immortal-on-the-seeking-road Bay Area Airport Naming Drama The Only Animal by Franz Wright https://april-is.tumblr.com/post/89794820/april-25-2008-the-only-animal-franz-wright Microtopics: Loving only the parts you don't hate. Finishing the whole pack of Red Vines because you refuse to let them defeat you. An album you haven't put on Spotify. You know. Those podcasts. The sort of thing we don't do around here. Holding up cue cards so the guests know what to say. Reading all 180,000 messages in the Frog Fractions 2 ARG solvers discord. The tech company you're applying to sending you all the Enron emails, saying "review these before the interview" Mysteries, Easter eggs, and rose-tinted glasses. Hedgehog in the Fog. Arduous animation processes. Working on an animated feature by yourself for over 40 years. Great Family Entertainment. A story about a guy who has everything he needs who dies while trying to buy an overcoat. A huge pack of Red Vines that you and your wife have been eating since 1981. Burning yourself out very quickly if you don't put guardrails in place. Perfectionists throwing away years of work because it's not good enough. DJs who still spin vinyl and other artists who choose to do things the hard way. Enveloping yourself in an emotion. Refusing to break character for the entire time you're making the Youtube documentary. Putting away art you're having a hard time with and coming back to it later. Everything that happened between the Sigil Master and Austin Walker. Losing track of whether art looks good. The fine line between pacing yourself and torturing yourself. The statue in the background of Frog Fractions that turns red when you're on Mars. Encouraging people to have whimsy. Space Knight Rom. Snagglepuss the 1950s playwright. Back when you could make up a video game rumor and not have it immediately debunked. GTA San Andreas urban legends. Windows Movie Maker transition screens. Gravitating towards the unknowable. Self-destructing music. Scarcity and unknowability. Buying an album from the record shop and perusing the indie record label catalog that comes with it. Searching for the 16th colossus. Forming a small community and feeling communal with them. Playing games with a group of friends like a book club. An MMO full of ARGy type stuff. Automatically grouping people into a puzzle solving community. Being paralyzed by the sheer amount of information that you don't know. What's going on with the iGlyphs? Finding evidence of the Jejune Institute on a telephone pole. Painstakingly making the 7th Frog Fractions game, 45 years from now. The history of Seeking Mr. Eaten's Name. Game secrets that can't be ruined by one jerk with a decompiler. Sleep No More. Getting pulled into a secret compartment during an interactive play. Multi-city zombie larps. The Oakland Airport renaming themselves to the San Francisco Bay International Airport and then later the lawsuit becoming the Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport. Bay Area topology. San Francisco and South San Francisco. The Unincorporated Area of San Mateo County International Airport, or UAOSMCIA. American cities named after European cities. The Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis, TN. Filling a 32-story disco pyramid with sports equipment. Fry's Electronics. Another episode of Topic Lords where we read from Wikipedia. A huge empty building with paintings of Mayan gods holding torches that used to be an electronics store. One more way in which people forget about San Diego. The only animal that brushes its own teeth A monkey wearing a spacesuit trying to smoke a cigarette through the face shield. The only animal that smokes cigarettes. (Todd, who works down at the warehouse.) Meeting your estranged dad when at the awards show when you're both up for the same Pulitzer. Whether that fuckin' awesome monkey is a Bored Ape. Whether Google Image Search is making up images yet. That time Ryan North and his dog got stuck in an empty swimming pool and turned it into an interactive text adventure. By the time you've smelt it, they have dealt it. Topics are over!

How Do New MMO's Work?, Marathon has a story, The best Gaming Podcast # 587Busy week we leap into handhelds, steam sales, consoles, and even more in todays podcastThis is an "Inside Baseball" podcast episode covering:Marathon (Bungie) - Years-long story plan announced, sold ~1 million copies, which is low for Bungie but better than expected. Nobody's really talking about the story though, it's all about gameplay.Smooth Motion vs DLSS - Smooth Motion is system-level frame interpolation that doesn't require game support. DLSS requires game support or an injector. Smooth Motion can actually have lower latency in some cases.Subnautica 2 - Early access date announced.

Legal distractions can pull developer focus away from creative energy.A Plague Tale: Resonance/Legacy - Asobo working on a prequel with character Sofia.Mind's Eye (Build a Rocket Boy) - DLC containing names of people who "sabotaged" the game. Devs claiming they were spied on. Comparison to Days Gone's blame game.
