In this episode of the Warp Pipe Podcast, we're diving into game-changers — the titles that didn't just entertain, they rewrote the rules. From DOOM pioneering first-person shooters, to Tetris shaping puzzle game addiction, to GTA III redefining open-world design — we talk about the moments that shifted the entire gaming industry. We also touch on the impact of Metal Gear Solid, Mortal Kombat, and more. Which games do YOU think changed the game?

This week, we are discussing a sequel that gave us some pretty insane frog inspired songs, "Return to Frogtown". This one really got under Jamie's skin and we had a bad movie sequel expert Nick join us as well to break down everything this one threw at us. We talked the terrible flying, the lack of fight scenes, a twist that Doug thought happened but didn't, a half frog/half woman, and a ton more. We will never see a sequel like this again but we did discuss who could star in a present day remake. This one will make your "meaner and greener" for sure.Watch the unedited video review at sequelsonly.com/frogtown2The next sequel up is "Transylmania" which is a sequel to the Dorm Daze flicks... sorta, it has a few of the same character names but we will take it talk with the amazing Musetta Vander. Musetta talked about her journey from South Africa to Hollywood that included a Tina Turner music video, a Murder She Wrote, Mortal Kombat 2, Wild Wild West, and so much more. Musetta was an absolute blast.Follow us on all social media @sequelsonly, and our website is sequelsonly.comReview, rate, and share us with your friends, enemies, neighbors, exes, and even that annoying supermarket clerk!
In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Michael, Angelo, and Luke discuss the recent "E3 season" announcements, which were suspiciously light on Switch 2 games. They also go over Nintendo's strange announcement of a new Splatoon game, some very strong Switch 2 launch sales, James Bond, and so much more.It's all capped off with another round of Nintendo 20 Questions, which probably doesn't go how you'd expect.Relevant stories:Switch 2 sales: https://www.vooks.net/nintendo-switch-2-moves-3-5-million-units-worldwide-in-first-four-days/Splatoon Raiders: https://www.vooks.net/new-splatoon-spin-off-announced-splatoon-raiders-coming-to-switch-2/Switch 2 updates: https://www.vooks.net/unexpected-switch-2-updates/No Man's Sky Switch 2: https://www.vooks.net/no-mans-sky-gets-free-nintendo-switch-2-edition-update/Mortal Kombat: https://www.vooks.net/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection-coming-to-switch-switch-2-later-this-year/James Bond: https://www.vooks.net/james-bond-returns-first-look-007-first-light/Lego Party: https://www.vooks.net/lego-party-coming-to-switch-later-this-year/Zelda: https://www.vooks.net/the-legend-of-zelda-movie-release-date-pushed-back-six-weeks/Send us a textSupport the showSocials Ollie: @chocobalt on Bluesky Luke: @renderman7 on Bluesky Angelo: @manjell0 on Bluesky Michael: @subelement on Bluesky Find Vooks on social media, support the show and buy merch.

In one of the more jam-packed weeks of news in recent memory, between PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, there is a lot for Sean and Marc to get through in this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX. This includes Sony reportedly being interested in acquiring not only HBO Max and the major Warner Bros IP, such as DC, Harry Potter, but also the gaming assets like Mortal Kombat, the Batman games, and much more. Could this finally give Sony its chance to have an even greater influence in so many industries, and does it really make sense for this to happen? Microsoft also made a major announcement that they've once again partnered with AMD to not only continue the current line of things, but also to make future consoles, handhelds, cloud devices, and more. Does this mean we could once again get future consoles? And what does this mean for the idea of a platform-agnostic future? Does this include Xbox backwards compatibility? Plus, Sean has thoughts on Sloclap's Soccer Multiplayer game, Rematch. Nintendo puts out big news concerning Donkey Kong Bananza, but also gets weird news regarding third-party games, Mindseye studio already set to have layoffs, SEGA announces sales of its games accidentally and more!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/dHs5F-j6wbY

Happy Juneteenth and Happy Pride! We have another WPWSY investigation for you today as we try to decode the confusing but also outrageous Judgement Day starring Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles and a brief cameo by Coolio. The plot: Black Israelites(?) have kidnapped Johnny Cage from the Mortal Kombat movies in order to bring about the destruction of earth from a series of asteroids. It's wild. We break down whatever the hell Mario Van Peebles is going for, a very confusing conversation about chicken and waffles, and if you can recreate terrible cgi on purpose. Today, we celebrate those who came before us as well as looking toward a future where all people are free. Look after your community today and celebrate with those you love. Also, be on the look out for Jordan's new comic series Ancestral Recall which you can pre-order at your local comic shop today!

We attempt to do two hours of gaming talk in one hour, so buckle up! The ROG Xbox Ally is the handheld Xbox, announced at Summer Game Fest. Geoff Keighley misled at the Summer Game Fest Kickoff Showcase by claiming that dev teams were smaller than they actually were - erasing the many outsourced parts of the game development process. Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is coming from Digital Eclipse, but is not Gold Master Series #4. The Nintendo Switch 2 is both plentiful and hard to find, depending on who you ask. We then talk about the transfer process, gameshare, clip sharing, the official carrying case, and what I played first. Then we talk to Rob about the Nintendo Switch 2.
In this episode, we're joined by the multi-talented Shahjehan Khan, an actor, writer, musician, and host of the acclaimed podcast King of the World. We dive into his roles playing a character in Mortal Kombat, the new Hulu series Deli Boys, and his journey as a founding member of the trailblazing Muslim punk band The Kominas.
This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we recap our attendance at the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event. This annual event promotes itself for its long running campaign; but with new organisers this year, how did it actually go? We chat towards what we spotted, what we think needs to be improved & what we scored!! Spoiler alert: Pub Lunch & making a day of it with great friends, is always the overall highlight!! Then Trent does an awesome Toyline Retrospective on the early 80's franchise that was: Blackstar! With a Filmation Cartoon airing first in 1981; then a corresponding Toyline from Galoob in 1983! Featuring the fight between our Hero: John Blackstar against the Evil Ruler: Overlord on the Planet Sagar. This Toyline & franchise actually has more ties to Masters Of The Universe than one may think.... There are some EPIC Beasts, questionable modes of transport & the incredibly sort after Ice Castle Playset - this Franchise really tried hard & its interesting to think in a sliding doors parallel reality - could this have been a more popular franchise than Masters Of The Universe?! Then rounding out the episode, we squeeze a quick round table, around some of our Latest Scores!

NBA news plus Mortal Kombat release date and what to expect
Welcome to this week's episode of the Gaming Roundtable, where hosts Brian, Mark, Chrono, and Scrag dive into a significant week in gaming. The discussion kicks off with insights into the Nintendo Switch 2's launch, highlighting the excitement and the minor hiccup labeled as 'Staplegate' where GameStop's practice of stapling receipts led to some damaged screens. But not to worry, replacements are on the way! The hosts passionately explore the nostalgia-driven gaming landscape, questioning if games priced at a premium are sustainable and delving into the remaster of the beloved Final Fantasy Tactics. With Square Enix's collaboration with Yoshi P's studio, the remaster introduces enhanced visuals and voice acting, re-envisioning the classic tactical RPG experience for a new generation. The conversation shifts to the PlayStation State of Play, where a Marvel fighting game from Arc System Works and a retro Mortal Kombat collection spark interests and discussions on the evolution of game design over the years. This week's episode also features a closer look at the newfound ease of online gaming on Switch 2, comparing social features to those of other platforms, and reminiscing about missed midnight launches in the changing retail landscape. Join the Gaming Roundtable crew for an engaging chat on potential Final Fantasy 9 announcements, discussions around the future of VR, and the value of cross-progression and cross-play in gaming today. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore enthusiast, there's something for everyone in this episode!

Years ago, the Mikes had guest Russ Lyman to discuss the 1995 film adaptation of "Mortal Kombat". Russ and Mike Butler enjoyed their time in Outworld, but this episode, much like Shang Tsung himself, almost ripped the soul from Mike Field's body. Even then it was fated that one day, the three would unite once again to tackle a film far more sinister..."Mortal Kombat: Annhilation"!!!!Join the Mikes and guest Russ Lyman as they begin a new limited series covering some earlier video game to film adaptions, beginning with Shao Kahn's plot to take over EarthRealm. Will Field survive? And will he be alone in his hatred for the film this time? Watch and find out!!!What's your favorite Mortal Kombat Fatality? Let us know in the comments below!
Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.
This week on FGCism, we break down all the wildest moments from Combobreaker 2025—from the hype Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact playtest to the unexpected MKXL revival stealing the show.But it's not all hype—SNK is in crisis mode after a brutal Vice article slams Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, leading to Kenji Matsubara stepping down as CEO. Meanwhile, Tekken 8's Season 2 patch misses the mark, forcing the old dev team to return for damage control.In other news:Elena finally gets her Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer—but does she still have that annoying healing?Mortal Kombat 1 support ends with a Definitive Edition—what's next for NetherRealm?Guilty Gear Strive's source code leaks, leading to Unika's gameplay dropping early.And Nintendo nukes the Super Smash Bros. dating app ("Smash Together") before it even launches.

This round pitting not one; not two, but THREE different Villain Sub-Groups against each other in a plight to crown the perfect Character that lines up with the A-Team Format. BUT, there are some ground rules! We must pick ensure a Villain is represented from each sub-group! Who are these Sub-groups you ask?!?

Our guest John Blackburn is a founder and CEO of Avalanche Software, makers of hundreds of games for dozens of platforms, such as Hogwarts Legacy and Disney Infinity. He has tales of when games paid royalties and having to take a chance. We discuss how to talk to execs and being true but not canon - this week!Episode Highlights[00:00:00] Mortal Kombat Funded Avalanche's Origins John Blackburn reveals how Avalanche Studios was launched thanks to Mortal Kombat Trilogy royalties—literally bankrolling the studio's earliest days.[00:13:00] Salt Lake City: An Underrated Game Dev Hotspot John shares the rich game development legacy of Salt Lake City, from the roots of Sculptured Software and Access Software to Avalanche and beyond.[00:21:00] Working on Mortal Kombat at Sculptured Software John discusses his first big project as a junior programmer, working on Mortal Kombat for Super Nintendo—with access to an arcade machine right outside his office.[00:25:00] The Crazy Coincidences Behind Avalanche's Founding Learn how a failed job offer, a chance bar conversation, and a loophole in rights ownership led to Avalanche's first contract with Midway.[00:31:00] Mortal Kombat Trilogy: The Royalty Deal That Changed Everything Blackburn explains how the CD-based release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy and a classics reprint led to a royalty windfall that solidified the studio's future.[00:40:00] Disney Acquires Avalanche for Platforming Expertise John recounts how Avalanche's work on licensed platformers like Tack and the Power of Juju led to Disney acquiring the studio after seeing early progress on Chicken Little.[00:54:00] How Disney Infinity Was Born from Toy Story 3's Toy Box Mode Infinity started as a toy-themed platform game before pivoting into the toys-to-life genre after the success of Skylanders—with the blessing of Bob Iger.[01:00:00] The Secret Behind Hogwarts Legacy: Portkey Games & Creative Freedom Blackburn shares how Portkey Games enabled Avalanche to develop an original story set in the Wizarding World—without needing to retell the Harry Potter books.Thank you for listening to our podcast all about videogames and the amazing people who bring them to life!Hosted by Alexander Seropian and Aaron MarroquinFind us at www.thefourthcurtain.com Join our Patreon for early, ad-free episodes plus bonus content at https://patreon.com/FourthCurtain Come join the conversation at https://discord.gg/KWeGE4xHfeVideos available at https://www.youtube.com/@thefourthcurtainFollow us on Twitter: @fourthcurtainEdited and mastered at https://noise-floor.com Audio Editor: Bryen HensleyVideo Editor: Sarkis GrigorianProducer: Shanglan (May) LiArt: Paul RusselCommunity Manager: Doug ZartmanFeaturing Liberation by 505

Adi Shankar Was “Unhappy” With ‘Devil May Cry 5' Because It Took Spotlight Away From His Netflix Series: “I Thought The Franchise Was Dead; I Thought I Was Bringing This Thing Back” Adi Shankar responds. Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" "Real fans are people who love & understand what you do, keep track, and engage with your shit regardless of how much they spend," Douse added. When asked whether Baldur's Gate 3 would also have had a $80 asking price, Douse said even if it did, "we would probably not suggest people do whatever they can to buy it, lest they not be real fans." ‘Marathon' Isn't Canceled, But It's Bad We Even Have To Ask That Colin Moriarity: “I was told by someone familiar with marketing plans in a key overseas market that there are now no plans to do paid marketing for Marathon at all, I don't know if those plans were affected by what has recently happened or if that was always the plan or whatever but it is considered a fairly unusual move for a game of this high profile.” Mortal Kombat 1: We are hearing players' requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on. We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but our team at NetherRealm needs to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can.

This Week: Borderlands 4’s studio head Randy Pitchford is catching heat over a spicy comment he made online, and does Nintendo have the power to brick your Switch 2 console? We’re also talking the Switch 2's new GameChat feature, the just-confirmed Elden Ring movie from A24, and the surprise end of support for Mortal Kombat 1. Joining me this week is special guest Stella Chung as we unpack whether gamers should really be expected to “find a way” to afford their favorite titles and if we ever truly "own" anything anymore.
Marred in 90s era video game controversy, Konami's Lethal Enforcers series, along with Mortal Kombat, Night Trap, and several other games, had ironic targets on their backs for their innovative, realistic (at the time) graphics involving firing a fake plastic gun at the screen, killing human targets.

In THIS episode of Who Would Win Unleashed, silent retribution meets extraterrestrial terror as legendary hit-man John Wick (championed by Eric Holmes) locks and loads against the galaxy's apex trophy-hunter, the Predator (commanded by James Gavsie). From Wick's bullet-ballet precision, endless gun-fu combos, and “yeah, I'm thinking I'm back” resolve to the Predator's cloaked tracking tech, plasma caster, and spine-tingling roar, every shadowy hallway and jungle clearing becomes a kill-box in the showdown fans have begged for.Join hosts James and Eric as they dissect combat skills, gear load-outs, battle psychology, and those oh-so-crucial intangibles that tip the scales when an unstoppable assassin tangles with an unseen alien nightmare.

Test your might! This week, The Decision Reel enters the arena to pit Mortal Kombat (1995) against Mortal Kombat (2021) in a brutal showdown of nostalgia vs. modern mayhem. Which reigns supreme — the cheesy charm of the '90s or the R-rated fatalities of the reboot? Join us as we dive into the characters, action, music, and what each version got right (or hilariously wrong). Flawless victory? Not quite... but it's a fight worth watching.
This week concludes our spontaneous Jeff Burr rock block with the 1994 sequel "Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings." Special topics for your consideration include: inexplicable relationships between practically all of the characters, terrible teens of yesteryear, consistency in the Burr-iverse, extremely recognizable tits, and the age-old question of "are we still all Pumpkinhead? A little bit?" It's been ages since we talked Pumpkinhead, all the way back to the original in Episode 57. At least we watched them in the right order? The regular lineup of links!
