Fortnite's wildest crossover ever, Samsung's tri-fold phone, and Red Dead Redemption on Netflix — all in one snowy night. This week on AwesomeCast 760, Michael Sorg (@Sorgatron), Katie “Dudders” Dudas, and Dave Podnar brave the Pittsburgh snow (plus the frozen tundra of Verona) to geek out over: Samsung's Galaxy Z Tri-Fold — a three-screen foldable that opens into a 10" tablet and costs about as much as a decent gaming PC. Is this the future of phones or just flex tech? Cloud gaming from the couch — Sorg uses OneCast, GeForce Now, and Xbox Cloud Gaming to turn an Apple TV and Chromecast into a console-free living room, streaming everything from Mortal Kombat 1 to Marvel's Midnight Suns. Netflix Games leveling up — from Red Dead Redemption (2010) going mobile-only on Netflix to a WWE 2K “Netflix Edition” and Stranger Things puzzle games trying to lure the 99% of subscribers who never touch the games tab. Marvel arcade goodness & Fortnite insanity — we punch through Marvel's Cosmic Invasion on Game Pass and recap Fortnite's giant event featuring Homer Simpson, Godzilla, Kong, Superman, Voltron, K-pop Demon Hunters, Kill Bill, Back to the Future and more. Weird future tech — Hideo Kojima's idea for a blood-scented floppy disk, BHaptics VR suits you can actually buy at Best Buy, and why we're both fascinated and slightly terrified. Shopping & robotaxis — Amazon's 30-minute delivery pilot in Seattle and Philly, Katie's Walmart turning into a gig-worker warehouse, and a Waymo robo-car that casually drives through an active LAPD stop. Plus: birthday love for long-time supporter John “Diggy” DeGore, vintage Star Wars comics, and interns Tony and Mac discovering just how weird tech can get.
Weekly Recap: Alice in Wonderland Adaptation, Netflix Games, Star Trek Update, Jimmy Olsen Series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on AwesomeCast 758, Sorg, Katie, and Podnar unwrap a pile of geeky goodness! Chachi surprises the crew with custom 3D-printed AT-@-AT Star Wars sculptures, Dave reviews the Bissell CrossWave hard-floor cleaner, and we break down the newest gaming news including the Steam Machine reboot, a DDR world record, and Netflix's surprisingly strong push into console-quality games like WWE 2K25. We also explore Disney's Star Wars Life Day Gift Guide, the wild GameStop Trade Anything Day, a Minecraft rebuild of Pittsburgh's legendary Century III Mall, and Google's rollout of Gemini 3. Plus: which AI model would you trust on your iPhone? Join us for gadgets, games, tech talk, and holiday chaos—Pittsburgh-style.

Marie shares insights on networking, staying updated with industry trends, and preparing for interviews. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities in the gaming sector, including the impact of recent layoffs and the demand for game engineers. Key Quotes: "Networking is probably your best way in. As much as people don't like hearing that you need to know someone, it's very much what it is." - Marie Ablaza "The industry waits for no one. You're either in it and know what it is, or you're left behind, even if the technology is only a year old." - Marie Ablaza "Set a Google alert for the company or the people interviewing you. It's a quick way to stay up-to-date and show that you're following." - Jessica Fiesta George "There's a weird juxtaposition where gaming is growing, but the workforce is shrinking with 30,000 layoffs. Studios are even closing." - Marie Ablaza "Have fun. Job searching and recruiting can be a grind, but there's a positive side. It can be fun exploring new industries and making connections." - Marie Ablaza Discussion Points: The role of networking in entering the gaming and entertainment industries. The fast-evolving nature of these sectors and the importance of staying current with trends. Red flags recruiters look for in candidates include lack of preparation. The impact of recent layoffs in the gaming industry and what it means for job seekers. The most in-demand roles within the gaming industry, particularly for game engineers. The importance of maintaining a positive outlook during the job search process.

They say a week without TWIG is like a beach without sand. Well, it seems like there's sand in Squad Busters' growth engine. The game had the most bombastic launch of any Supercell game and is now experiencing the fastest fall as well. The crew analyzes early numbers and potential reasons behind the rapid decline. We also talk about Netflix Games, which seems to have ended its honeymoon period and is now having a come-to-Jesus moment after big investments and not-so-big returns. your hosts: Mishka Katkoff, Eric Kress, Jen Donahoe and Phillip Black --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deconstructoroffun/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deconstructoroffun/support
