Podcasts about Overwatch

Shooters are having one of their best summers in years, and every major franchise still can't agree on what to do about it.The crew runs through the battle pass shakeup hitting Call of Duty, Battlefield and Overwatch, breaks down why Battlefield is quietly beating Call of Duty on Steam, and picks apart Apex Legends' run as the most consistent live service in the genre. They also dig into Gears of War: E-Day's beta results against Helldivers 2, unpack why War Bonds aren't actually battle passes, and argue about why Western studios keep playing it safe while Eastern developers experiment their way to the top.Topics Covered:• The battle pass shakeup across Call of Duty, Battlefield and Overwatch• Why Battlefield is outperforming Call of Duty on PC despite the franchise's rocky years• Ranked play, Battlefield Labs and the Elite Top 250 leaderboard• What's next for Battlefield now a new mainline entry isn't landing next year• Call of Duty's tech unification and the tradeoffs it created down the line• Apex Legends' revenue consistency, live ops machine and collab strategy• Apex's growth potential in China and Japan, and the case for reviving Apex Legends Mobile• Why battle royale modes outperform arena shooters on retention• Gears of War: E-Day's beta numbers and the inevitable Helldivers 2 comparisons• The PvP versus PvE tradeoffs facing E-Day's live service• War Bonds versus battle passes and how Helldivers 2 redefined seasons• Why Arc Raiders can't copy the Helldivers playbook• The West's monetization risk aversion versus the East's willingness to experimentCHAPTERS:01:13 Battle Pass Shakeups02:33 Battlefield Engagement Surge04:13 MAU Charts Breakdown05:28 Why Battlefield Retains06:47 Ranked Mode Returns08:44 Battlefield Next Moves11:04 COD Tech Unification Lessons14:19 Extraction Mode Debate15:35 Apex Revenue and Consistency17:00 Apex Live Ops Machine29:18 BR Movement Thesis30:20 Why Arenas Feel Worse31:17 Social Sandbox vs Zero Sum33:15 TDM Translation Problem34:06 Gears E-Day Catch Up34:54 Market Size and Modes37:07 Helldivers Comparison Debate40:51 Live Service Monetization Risks44:40 Battle Pass Changes Roundup47:51 War Bonds vs Battle Passes52:58 Arc Raiders and Extraction Limits54:33 Western Monetization Fear59:13 Next Episode Tease

We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enemy, and everything else — weapon levels, perks, pipe climbing, the spawns everyone's arguing about on X — is fixing a leaky bathtub while the house burns down. Jake breaks down why CoD only takes from him now, why the lobbies are nothing but sweat, and the exact point where min-maxing your controller, your router and your ZIP code stopped being worth it. Also in this one: the Zodiac verdict (better than Area 99, roughly Haven's Hollow), the weekend 2 nerf pass, the 60% negative Steam reviews, why Warzone was in the beta at all, and a DMZ 2 prediction we're standing behind. Then a palate cleanser — Star Wars Zero Company, permadeath, and a first playthrough Raz completely ruined — plus a brutal Tarkov week, the Tarkov roadmap, GTA 6's Netflix look, and WARDOGS. Jake wanted it to be good. Raz stopped wanting that years ago. This time they agree. 0:00 - Intro 1:10 - New patrons and the latest bonus episodes 3:26 - Our first patron Discord hangout (and Death by AI) 6:10 - "The MW4 Beta Broke Us" 6:22 - How fast did we know? 9:25 - "If I can't see the guy, nothing else matters" 10:17 - The raging inferno analogy 14:55 - "Call of Duty is dead" 15:10 - Jake: CoD only takes from me now 20:49 - Everyone is min-maxing (and moving for zero ping) 23:26 - SBMM, the missing casuals, and sweat-only lobbies 26:03 - Splitgate Reloaded and the death of 6v6 arcade shooters 27:40 - Warzone: the audio, the visibility, the haze 30:12 - Rolling the dice on what bullshit you get this year 31:28 - Bring back Caldera — at least it was different 37:28 - The first thing that felt wrong: audio 37:54 - Weekend 2's nerf pass: Tac Sprint, slides, TTK 40:44 - 60% negative Steam reviews and the player drop 41:52 - The Zodiac verdict vs. Area 99 and Haven's Hollow 42:50 - Why was Warzone in the beta at all? 47:16 - No custom loadouts, and the guns aren't fun to shoot 49:07 - "Activision devs do not play their own game" 50:18 - The one dev we ever ran into in Warzone 53:34 - The Quick Fix perk they "fixed" twice 57:07 - "Where does that put us?

The Blooming Court Ch 15The group wakes up to find Turk has left, much like Greyleaf and Cerius did some time ago. They discuss their next course of action, possibly heading to Granzia for unfinished business with Galahad's father, Antonius; the pincushion-maker fiasco, and Zechs wanting to check on Argo and the guild. The group discusses making any necessary purchases before leaving, even mentioning cold-weather gear as they plan to go to the mountains of Granzia and potentially to Coldbring. Shanks hands Galahad a concoction of sorts that shaves some years off of him, something the elven alchemist has been working on for him. There's some initial shopping for cold-weather gear and supplies, and discussion about possibly acquiring an Amulet of the Planes. Later, in the midst of the montage, Zechs settles on the callsign Overwatch, which Duo agrees to. They also come across a very familiar sign and come across a familiar tiefling to Hoshino & Shanks. Once inside the tavern, they're greeted by a cheery dwarven gentleman who takes some orders and informs them that the "boss" will be with them shortly. The group meets Mr. Bell, the 8th face of The Journeyman, who apologizes for taking Hoshino away for so long. He explains what he was doing with Hoshino, gathering information so that the group doesn't have a million questions. He gives the group 2 options: the first would be to stay the course and continue as they are to stop The Constable and his plans, which would alter their timeline's history from a few hundred years ago to the present. Second, going back several thousand years to prevent the planes from even being judged unfit in the first place, which would change several thousand years of their history. In both cases, only the party would retain their memories of the events from their original timeline. The party weighs the decision, and it falls to Zechs, since he has the most to lose in this instance. They even offer potential life rafts for his family if that is a possible option. With a heavy heart and full understanding of the weight of this decision, they take the second option. Mr. Bell respects and understands this decision was not easy to make; he allows a few liferafts and hands them a dossier for their next mission.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce Graphics Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

Episode 600. On August 21st the Modern Warfare 4 early access beta, the WARDOGS closed beta, and Call of Duty NEXT all land on the same day — and the two games are asking for wildly different amounts of money. We go through everything Activision is cramming into the MW4 beta: a playable campaign mission called Entrenched, six multiplayer maps, the return of Ground War, and a brand new Warzone Resurgence map called Zodiac. Then we put odds on whether any of it actually works over a single weekend. Spoiler: 20%. Omnimovement is gone. We get into what replaced it, whether removing it was a gameplay decision or a marketing one, and why "you can climb pipes now" is the funniest thing Infinity Ward has ever put in a press release. On the WARDOGS side: $39.99 Early Access on September 10, over a million Steam wishlists, and a promise of no in-game monetization that came out of one very bad Reddit post. We argue that the promise is a mistake — and that the most consumer-friendly thing a game can do is just be good. Plus DMZ2, aim assist, and why Infinity Ward is about to be spread way too thin. 0:00 - Intro — 600 episodes 2:09 - Patreon free trials all August 4:02 - Patron hangout: August 28th 5:30 - Two betas, one Friday 6:49 - MW4 beta dates and the pre-order wall 7:44 - A campaign mission in a beta — a CoD first 10:23 - The battle dad theory 13:24 - Discord Nitro gets you in free 15:28 - All six multiplayer maps 16:06 - Ground War is back 20:24 - Zodiac: a new Resurgence map in the beta 23:56 - Modes, and the ones held back 25:33 - 19 weapons and a fake pre-order camo 26:59 - "It's gonna be a buggy fucking disaster" 28:51 - Putting the odds at 20% 31:13 - Why I win either way 33:23 - No more omnimovement 33:48 - Climbing pipes is just a ladder 35:58 - Was omnimovement actually better? 40:22 - Mantling as the Warzone middle ground 43:06 - What actually makes you a casual? 51:12 - WARDOGS 51:50 - Closed beta August 21–23 53:30 - Three maps at launch?

They discussed the Hellraiser-themed Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, including the Pinhead actor, the Hellraiser food truck, and merchandise. They covered the upcoming Hellraiser Resurrections comic one-shots from Boom Studios and a new Fright Rags Hellraiser 2 t-shirt. They mentioned gameplay footage for the Hellraiser Revival video game and expressed some concerns about its mechanics. They reviewed Arrow's upcoming 4K/Blu-ray release of Underworld/Transmutations, comparing its features to the existing Kino Lorber edition. They noted that Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates were announced as recipients of the 2026 World Fantasy Life Achievement Award. They also discussed an unused script for Hellraiser 5 (The Hellseeker) by Michael Lent, found through archive research, and compared it to the eventual Hellseeker film. They briefly touched on listener polls for Clive's Contemporaries, Patreon supporters, and other projects like Turbine's Hellraiser releases.   Hellraiser Food Truck Planning Ryan and Jose discussed the Hellraiser-themed food truck and haunted attraction at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando Universal Studios. They examined photos and videos of the Hellraiser setup, including the box design and costume details, and discussed which elements from Hellraiser films 1, 2, and 3 might be featured in the attraction. The conversation was interrupted by technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, so they agreed to resume the discussion later. Universal Studios Horror Nights Planning Jose and Ryan discussed Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, focusing on the new Pinhead attraction. Jose shared that scare actors typically earn between $15 and $28 per hour and mentioned key creative team members involved in the haunted house, including John Murdy and Lojo Russo. They noted that the attraction would feature elements from Hellraiser 1, 2, and 3, opening on August 28 in Orlando and September 3 in Hollywood, and requested feedback from anyone attending the event. Hellraiser Content Planning Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed various Hellraiser-related content, including different covers for Deep Gospel and upcoming one-shot comics featuring characters like the female Cenobite and Butterball. They reviewed a new Fright Rags t-shirt design for Hellraiser and Hellbound Hellraiser 2, and briefly discussed gameplay footage for the Hellraiser Revival game, which Ryan preferred not to watch to avoid spoilers. They also touched on Arrow's upcoming release of Underworld/Transmutations on September 6, 2026, and concluded that Ryan was satisfied with his current Ultra HD copy of the film. 4K Blu-ray Release Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed a new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Limited Edition release of a film featuring Clive Barker's work. The release includes two discs, with the first being 4K Ultra HD and the second being a 1080p version of "Transmutations" instead of "Underworld." Ryan noted that while the 4K disc is region-free, the second disc is region B, which may limit access for some viewers. The release is available for pre-order in the UK for £25 with a retail price of £29.99 and a release date of September 6, 2026. 2026 World Fantasy Awards Announcement Ryan announced that Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates will receive the 2026 World Fantasy Awards for Lifetime Achievement, to be presented at a ceremony in Oakland, California from October 22-25. The discussion included recognition of Joyce Carol Oates' notable works and debate about the timing of the award, with Jose noting the benefit of receiving recognition while still alive. Jose also mentioned that Boom Studios plans to release five Hellraiser one-shot comics as a prelude to a new ongoing series by the end of 2027. Hellraiser Content Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed the growing popularity of Hellraiser content among people with limited knowledge of the franchise, comparing it to Scream and expressing frustration with misinformed comparisons. They mentioned upcoming Hellraiser merchandise at Universal Studios, including acrylic standees, mugs, and glasses. Jose recommended exploring the original novella "The Hellbound Heart" and suggested stopping at Hellraiser 4 for movie viewing, while also recommending the 2022 remake. Hellraiser Script Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed a Hellraiser script that was intended to be Hellraiser 5 but was ultimately not picked up. The script, written by Michael Lent, follows a character with amnesia who discovers he was a criminal while being pursued by Cenobites. While the script contains some interesting elements like the character healing from severe burns and the Cenobites being 7 feet tall, Jose and Ryan both found the concept of a computer game called "**** World" to be problematic and unrealistic.   The Clive Barker Podcast team, including Ryan, Jose, Don, and guest Marcus, held a discussion focused on various artistic depictions of Pinhead, the iconic character from the Hellraiser series. They examined and compared multiple portraits of Pinhead created by Clive Barker, ranging from early pitch package sketches to later oil paintings and sketches. The conversation covered the evolution of Pinhead's design, different artistic techniques used by Barker, and the significance of the character in Barker's oeuvre. The group also shared personal anecdotes about visiting Barker's studio and handling original manuscripts and artwork. They touched on related topics such as the Hellraiser franchise's enduring popularity, recent merchandise, and potential future projects. The session was informal and celebratory, with participants expressing their appreciation for Barker's art and each other's insights.   Clive Barker Art Comparison Discussion The group discussed comparing different versions of Pinhead art by Clive Barker as part of a podcast segment from their recent Kickstarter campaign. Don Bertram and Marcus Williams joined Ryan and Jose to examine various artwork, with Don sharing his personal experience promoting Barker's art at movie theaters using a one-sheet from the Illusion Suite. The conversation included discussion about an eBay listing for the Clive Barker Illusion Suite portfolio, which Don noted was not selling well due to its limited market awareness and the fact that it's only signed on the header page. Pinhead Character Design Evolution The group discussed early artwork and designs for Pinhead from Hellraiser, including a sumi ink drawing from 1986 that was part of a pitch package for New World executives. They examined how the character design evolved from the original novella, noting differences in details like jeweled pins versus nails and the androgynous voice description. The discussion highlighted how Clive Barker's initial concepts were adapted for the film, with Ryan and Don providing insights about the differences between the written description and the final cinematic portrayal. Pinhead Artwork Discussion Review The group discussed various drawings and artwork related to Pinhead and Clive Barker's work. They examined a pencil drawing from 2005 for Nika toys that was later used for a Cenobite diorama and silicone mask. The discussion included details about a hook feature in the artwork that connects to Pinhead's scalp, which Markus confirmed was present in both the drawing and the movie. The participants also reviewed a colorful oil painting done live at Tower Records in 2005, with Don expressing particular appreciation for the red color elements and the desolate landscape background. The conversation concluded with reflections on Clive Barker's reluctance to do live painting demonstrations, as he mentioned to Don that he tends to "show off" rather than focus on the work. Clive Barker Pinhead Art Discussion The group discussed various Clive Barker artwork, focusing on sketches and drawings of Pinhead. Marcus shared several pieces he had found, including black and white sketches with shamanistic elements and silver Sharpie details representing mercury flowing through the character's face. The discussion covered different artistic styles and techniques, with particular attention to Barker's use of negative space in the "V for Vice Versa" piece from his A through Z of Horror book. The conversation also touched on how Barker's Pinhead design has become his most iconic creation, comparing it to Frankenstein in literature. Clive Barker's Pinhead Painting Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's art, particularly focusing on a large impasto oil painting of Pinhead that Don had seen at a gallery. They examined details of the painting including its thick texture, color choices, and the presence of faces and skulls in the design. The conversation also touched on Chris Valesco, who purchased the painting in 2013 and has worked on soundtracks for games like Overwatch and Mass Effect, though not the new Hellraiser game. The discussion concluded with plans to potentially interview Chris Valesco in the future and to include links to his art collection videos in the show notes.

Our favorite things about World of Warcraft patch 12.1 are mostly related to Player Housing, if we're being for real. There are other things to look forward to — raids, delves, quests, and maybe lore if you're into that kind of thing — but yeah, we're mulling over a name change to HousingWatch. But the patch is still new, so that could change. Probably won't, but it could.We're also excited that D.Mon is coming to Overwatch. Another character that's been on everyone's wishlist for years, D.Mon also has a lot of story associated with her, including a few new lore drops. Our cohosts are optimistic about what this means for Overwatch and the lore going forward. But, hold that thought, because the next news item is about the Microsoft management. Or at least, don't take a big swig of water here.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Mike Sarraille served 20 years in special operations as a Recon Marine, scout sniper, Navy SEAL, and troop commander in Delta Force. He graduated number one out of three hundred in Marine boot camp, fought in some of the worst firefights of the Iraq War, and broke four world records skydiving across seven continents in under seven days. Then he started a company.   Joe De Sena sits down with Mike to hear why he says building a business with no budget and no guaranteed resources is harder than anything he faced in combat, how he scaled a data center staffing company from fifty employees to five hundred in eighteen months, and what the tier-one military teaches about team performance that most corporate leaders get wrong. Things You Will Learn: Why a Delta Force troop commander says entrepreneurship tested him more than combat, and what specific skills transferred and which did not. The difference between warfighters and warriors, and why combining both creates the leaders people actually follow. Why productive conflict inside a high-performing team is the system itself, not a sign that something is broken. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Shared Hardship Bonding: Psychology shows that teams bonded through shared adversity build trust that cannot be replicated through offsites or team dinners. Find controlled hardship your team can experience together. Iron Sharpens Iron Selection: Always find a group where you are the underperformer. Clear the bar they hold as the standard. Then find the next group above that. Conflict as Operating System: High-performing teams fight over ideas constantly. The mission prevails, not individual egos. If everyone agrees all the time, the team is underperforming.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.

He graduated number one out of three hundred in Marine boot camp, deployed multiple times to Iraq, and led the Triple Seven Expedition, skydiving across all seven continents in six days, six hours, and six minutes to break four world records. After leaving the military, he built and sold an executive search firm, wrote three books, The Talent War, The Everyday Warrior, and Teams, and now serves as Chief Talent Officer at Overwatch, a data center staffing company he scaled from fifty to five hundred employees in under eighteen months.

Matt McCrann is U.S. CEO of SPARC AI.  SPARC AI develops software that enables precision navigation and target acquisition for drones and autonomous systems operating in GPS-denied environments. Its flagship platform, Overwatch, is a software-only, hardware-agnostic solution that transforms the sensors already onboard a drone into a resilient positioning system—without requiring additional hardware. The platform also supports detection, tracking, and multi-drone coordination, providing operators with greater situational awareness in contested environments. Matt leads SPARC AI's expansion across the United States, overseeing commercial strategy, customer engagement, and adoption of the company's positioning technology. Before joining SPARC AI, he built DroneShield's U.S. business from the ground up as CEO of its American subsidiary. Earlier in his career, Matt served in the United States Navy as an Intelligence Operator and Analyst and as a member of the NSA's Cryptologic Direct Support Element, supporting national security and operational missions. Whether it's electronic warfare, jamming, spoofing, or simply operating where satellite signals can't reach, today's drones face a growing challenge: how do they continue to navigate accurately and complete the mission? In this edition of the Drone Radio Show, Matt talks about the growing challenge of GPS-denied operations, how SPARC AI's Overwatch platform helps autonomous systems navigate without relying solely on GPS, what the company is learning from deployments in Ukraine, and why resilient positioning is becoming an essential capability for the next generation of drones.

WARDOGS ran its first ever gameplay livestream this week and it went about as well as you'd expect from a studio full of guys in their late twenties: the alpha codes were a QR-code disaster, the stream started two hours late, and it ended with a Twitch ban for throwing a sex toy across the room. And yet — the actual gameplay looked incredible. We break down everything we saw: the enormous map, the three-team control zone loop, the destructible environments, the buy menu, and why Bulkhead's 60 FPS performance floor and "gamers first, devs second" attitude has us more hyped for this game than anything else on the calendar. Plus: is a monthly subscription for better servers and anti-cheat a genuinely good idea or the start of a slippery slope? Then it's Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, which just opened its first free crossplay playtest on the new Đắk Tô Airfield map — the performance is fixed, the hit reg is fixed, and the map is a massive upgrade over that awful jungle one. And Battlefield 6 Season 4 finally brought naval warfare, Tsuru Reef, and a Top Gun crossover that people are somehow mad about. We close with what we've actually been playing — Overwatch ranked, Stellaris Nomads, a lot of Tarkov, and one MMO Raz will absolutely keep playing despite telling you not to touch it. Jake's out here getting one-tapped in Tarkov. Raz is defending a game he just called a pile of dog shit.

The world of esports is growing rapidly. Video games have become a multibillion dollar industry in the United States, outpacing the music and film industries by hundreds of billions of dollars. In Missouri, more universities are embracing esports by offering scholarships to athletes for games like Valorant, Overwatch 2, and Super Smash Brothers. Rob Powell, founder and CEO of BGG Foundation, and Fletcher Springfield, a rising Southeast Missouri State freshman, talk about how casual gamers can become esports athletes, and how esports helped them land education and career opportunities.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Mickey Keaton, owner and operator of Bluff City Overwatch LLC, who highlights his drone education and training program and efforts to help equip youth for success in the growing industries and related job opportunities. Mickey explains how his experience with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office drone unit inspired him to launch Bluff City Overwatch to educate people about proper drone operations and FAA regulations, as many recreational drone users were violating safety rules. The program offers Introduction to Drone Operations classes where students can earn their FAA Recreational Pilot Certification and learn basic flight skills for $105 per student with a maximum class size of 12 participants. Mickey discusses the vast career opportunities in drone technology, from delivery services to construction, firefighting, and beyond, emphasizing how the program not only teaches STEM skills but also provides workforce development opportunities. He expresses particular interest in bringing the program to underserved communities like North Haven, where businesses could partner to sponsor classes and provide additional support like meals for students. The interview highlights how Mickey's personal and professional experiences, including his role as a Scoutmaster, have helped transform both his family's understanding of drone technology and the lives of young people in our community. Mickey provides his contact information, including their Bluff City Overwatch page on Facebook and email address mickey@bluffcityoverwatch.com for businesses and individuals interested in getting involved or enrolling in classes.

It's sale season, and Jason and Chris are trying to decide what is actually worth buying. Amazon Prime Day leads to a surprising lack of purchases, the Steam Summer Sale creates a very familiar kind of temptation, and new hardware may or may not be entering the picture. In between, Overwatch continues to make its case, while Fellowship raises a bigger question: what happens when a game gives you exactly the part you wanted, but maybe not everything else you need? Stick around after the end for a Steam Machine discussion that may turn into an expensive decision.

It's an episode! We have some game chat, Overwatch is doing stuff, the Knicks won, Taskmaster is continuing, and we're happy! Check it out! Explicit language on this one.

Do you remember how last week we were talking about how voidy and purple the Midnight expansion has been? Well, hold on to your shorts, because patch 12.1 has been announced and it's acid green and snaky. We're shook, but especially Liz, who doesn't particularly enjoy snakes, and wishes there was a filter like arachnophobia mode, where all the snakes turned into crabs. There are so many new features announced already, from the new Lairs, which are sort of a new version of World Bosses, all the way to a WoW Discord integration, which we're a little skeptical is all that useful.Also not purple is the Midsummer Fire Festival, which has come to WoW until July. There are a ton of orange rewards to collect, including a very hot new mount.There are also new seasons coming soon to Diablos 3 and 4, and for Diablo 4 this includes a collab with Overwatch, bringing some of those hero skins into Sanctuary. This is just making me wonder when we'll get that Raynor skin for Druids. Or do Druids seem more like Tychus?If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Hey, everybody! Sid, Tim, and O'Dell are back this week to discuss some new details on upcoming games. But since it's a quieter week, we take the opportunity to dive into the team's latest gaming adventures and triumphs, including 007 First Light, Mina The Hollower, and Overwatch.

We start off this week's podcast talking about a few upcoming things we've already sort of discussed -- WoW patch 12.0.7 is coming next week, as is the next season of Overwatch. We have a few gripes on how the Overwatch story is being delivered, but next season looks okay. We're much more enthusiastic about the stuff coming for Diablo. And then things get wild, when we start discussing Summer Game Fest, and all the new titles we're excited to see, ranging from the headline blockbusters all the way down to little murder mysteries that might not actually be murder mysteries.Plus, speaking of murders, Destiny 2 just got its final patch.

Außerdem reicht der Patreon-Kraftstoff, um im Bonussegment für Unterstützer ins Jahr 1986 abzutauchen, als Happy-Computer Spielebewertungen einführte und Sid Meier für Spannung in der Tiefe sorgte. Doch auch in der Gegenwart wird es nicht langweilig, dank retro-relevanten News, aktuellen Spielberichten und spannenden Hörerfragen. Unterstützt die Spieleveteranen und hört das volle Programm: https://www.patreon.com/spieleveteranen 00:15 News & Smalltalk 02:37 Gemischte News: 10 Jahre nach Blood and Wine wird ein drittes Add-on für Witcher 3 angekündigt, Gerüchte um ein Remake von Baldur's Gate 2 machen die Runde, Rayman Legends Retold belebt den Hüpf-Klassiker in 3D wieder, Digital Eclipse schnürt eine Sammlung mit Pixar-Spielen. 12:08 Was haben wir zuletzt gespielt? 007 First Light, Resident Evil Requiem (Demo), Mina the Hollower. 24:36 Hörerpost von Maestro84, Sokar und Christian D. 35:54 Zeitschriften-Zeitreise: Juni 2016, 2006, 1996, 1986 36:23 GamersGlobal und Gamestar 7/2016, u.a. mit Doom (2016), Total War: Warhammer und  Overwatch. 56:31 Gamestar 7/2006, u.a.

Justin's got the week off, so Seth steps in as co-host and the conversation does not disappoint. Doug and Seth dig into a Reddit question that sent them both deep into the nostalgia rabbit hole: of all the computer games you played between 1985 and 2010, what's the one you still think about today? Seth goes back to the PC port of Final Fantasy VII — the game that defined the RPG genre for a generation of players who couldn't afford a PlayStation — and StarCraft, the game that proved the internet was both a gift and a curse once Korean players started annihilating everyone on Battle.net. Doug lands on Diablo, Counter Strike, Half-Life, and Team Fortress from what he describes as the best summer of his life, plus Warcraft II and the legendary dorm-vs-dorm Counter Strike leaderboard that consumed an entire semester. Seth adds Morrowind and the Halo 2 university network wars, including the top-ranked player named Mixomatosis who turned out to live three doors down and was simply a different kind of person. The gaming conversation rolls naturally into a deep dive on Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and hero shooter culture — the difference between quick match and competitive, the rage of random teammates, why role-locking exists, and why you absolutely should not be trying out a new character in ranked. But first: Doug's mom has a long history of purging spices from the family pantry, and it explains a lot about his childhood. From there Doug and Seth debate overrated recipes (the dump-and-bake casserole situation has gotten out of hand), wage war over cottage cheese, and discover halloumi together in real time. Underrated picks include millionaire shortbread and candied pecans — two things that deserve far more attention. Plus fair food: dirty, suspect, and somehow perfect. A quick Clair Obscure Expedition 33 check-in leads into the episode's new game: AI or LinkedIn? Doug reads posts and Seth has to guess whether each one is a genuine LinkedIn post or AI generated. The results are both funnier and sadder than expected — especially the guy who timed his lunch at four minutes and 37 seconds because what isn't measured doesn't improve. This week's recommendations: Seth — Taskmaster (free on YouTube, 21 seasons). Five comedians, bizarre tasks, Greg Davies and Alex Horne hosting. One of the best shows you haven't watched yet. Doug — The Backrooms (A24). Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons based on the viral liminal space internet lore. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars. One of A24's highest-grossing films. Go see it. Plus: what even is SCP? Seth explains, and the answer sends Doug down a rabbit hole he didn't budget time for.   Subscribe: youtube.com/mindgappodcast  Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/T3HwyEw5v7  Listen everywhere you get podcasts  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mindgappodcast Merch on Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/67768184  

The Steam Deck costs $950 now, so maybe it's time for Chris to buy an Xbox ROG Ally X. Jason's getting a racing rig. Chris got a new game and he's bad at it, and Overwatch is so back (or is it?).

How do you evaluate an AI model for a war you can only fight once? Ike Harris, a Naval officer turned Hill staffer turned AI policy operator, joins the show to discuss his effort to bridge the gap between the labs that build frontier models and the operators who'll deploy them. Ike Harris is the executive director of the newly launched Frontier Security Institute, and was most recently the Republican tech lead on the House Select Committee on the CCP, with prior stints in OSD and as a surface warfare officer. We discuss… The GAIN AI and Overwatch acts: and Congress's most aggressive attempt to wrest export-control authority from the executive branch since the Cold War Why you can't just "buy AI": and why national security evals look nothing like the SWE benchmarks the labs optimize for Strategic-level evals :for problems you can't run ten times, from Iran negotiations to targeting at the COCOM level China's robot-army advantage: open-weight models at the edge, Ukraine-style drone iteration soaked up via Russia, and a casualty tolerance the US can't match The "no more NASA" problem: how risk tolerance, mission command, and law-of-armed-conflict constraints shape who wins the deployment race Breaking into tech policy: Ike's case for why every aspiring policy person should spend a year on the Hill Learn more about your ad choices.

Ike Harris is the executive director of the newly launched Frontier Security Institute, and was most recently the Republican tech lead on the House Select Committee on the CCP, with prior stints in OSD and as a surface warfare officer. We discuss… The GAIN AI and Overwatch acts: and Congress's most aggressive attempt to wrest export-control authority from the executive branch since the Cold War Why you can't just "buy AI": and why national security evals look nothing like the SWE benchmarks the labs optimize for Strategic-level evals :for problems you can't run ten times, from Iran negotiations to targeting at the COCOM level China's robot-army advantage: open-weight models at the edge, Ukraine-style drone iteration soaked up via Russia, and a casualty tolerance the US can't match The "no more NASA" problem: how risk tolerance, mission command, and law-of-armed-conflict constraints shape who wins the deployment race Breaking into tech policy: Ike's case for why every aspiring policy person should spend a year on the Hill Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're joined by Nicholas Yochum, an LA based sound designer currently working at Blizzard on Overwatch, where he focuses on synthesized sounds to help create effects with a more clean, stylized aesthetic. He's on the heroes team and is currently working on new heroes for the game. Nicholas and I actually go way back to like 2012 in Boston, so it's cool to finally catch up. We get into how he got into the industry — starting out at a third party audio company called Hexany, which he describes as kind of like sound design boot camp, and eventually landing a senior sound designer role at Blizzard, which even he still seems a little surprised about. We talk about what stylized sound design actually means — why game audio has been pulling more and more from the electronic music world, and how listening to stuff like Noisia is basically research at this point. We also get into the difference between working at a third party studio versus being embedded on a game team, and why that sense of ownership and connection to the work ended up mattering a lot to him. Hope you enjoy it. Please welcome Nicholas Yochum.
