Extraction shooters are finally confronting their identity crisis. Is Marathon the answer, or just another branch of the same lineage?Phil, Sides, and Anjos break down a pivotal moment for shooters: Highguard's collapse, Marathon's high-stakes launch, and Overwatch's unexpected resurgence. The debate rage on: are we watching the evolution of battle royale into something more persistent, or just another iteration of Tarkov's legacy?We discuss:● Highguard's shutdown and the limits of modern marketing○ Hate-playing, sentiment collapse, and losing control of narrative post-launch● Marathon's design thesis○ Persistent battle royale vs traditional extraction shooter lineage○ Lower friction loops, faster re-entry, and softened risk systems● The genre split○ Arc Raiders as first-principles PvE extraction○ Marathon as PvP-first with extraction layered on top● The missing innovation question○ What is Marathon's true “Bungie leap” beyond sandbox combat + loot?● Overwatch's resurgence○ Systems-driven live ops vs content arms race with Marvel Rivals● The future of shooter ecosystems○ Extraction, hero shooters, and the erosion of “black hole” games

Greg Davis bootstrapped Overwatch Imaging into a profitable, venture-backed dual-use company — before defense tech was a fundable category. In this episode, he breaks down how to sell autonomy into risk-averse, mission-critical markets: why the message that closes investors actively kills deals with operators, how to give customers an adoption on-ramp without commoditizing your technology, and what a decade of real-world deployment actually buys you in government sales cycles.Topics Discussed:Selling autonomy to risk-averse, mission-critical operators without overpromisingWhy investor messaging and customer messaging must be kept completely separateDesigning an adoption on-ramp that layers onto existing fielded hardwareNavigating long contracting cycles and building institutional trust over timeBootstrapping a defense tech company before venture capital entered the categoryManaging a dual-use business across civil, commercial, and defense verticalsHow to find your "mission-market fit" using a problem signature, not a TAM slide// Sponsors: Front Lines — Silicon Valley's leading Podcast Production Studio.

A State of Flux means a situation that is continuously changing, unstable or uncertain... If that doesn't describe the current situation we all exist in I don't know what does. Overwatch came to discuss the current state of chaos, a week ago we were going to talk about a different chaos however that changed as it often does of late. This one got a little raw however these are conversations that need to be had.

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.

Lodro blows their mind by revealing that they have created over 97 characters for Marvel. We talk about their writing process, Shinobi Shaw hanging out in bathtubs, and a bonkers Shadow King issue that came out during their birth month and year, Uncanny X-Men 278. Also in this episode: - The Shadow King is big - Shinobi Shaw is a sh*tty f*ckboy with daddy issues - Don't bend your enemies to your will; it never goes well for you - Thieves should always dress in bright gold armor...so as to be inconspicuous - Rogue makes out with the Shadow King - Gambit versus Multiple Man = a great fight - Nightcrawler‘s sister girlfriend is back All this plus we ask a question of you, dear listener: What did Moira do in the bedroom that made Banshee turn into a prude?

Their work has won the Nebula, World Fantasy, Alfie, and Locus Awards, and been shortlisted for the Hugo, Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, and Campbell Awards.

De game ontwikkelaar heeft veel verhalen en sterke meningen over de huidige staat van de game industrie, met unieke inzichten die hij heeft dankzij zijn jarenlange ervaring.

Midnight releases into early access later this week, and then full release next week, so for now the crew is pretty much just in waiting mode. Even if you didn't get early access, you can still get into the action because the pre-patch event will go on until the very last minute. In the meantime, there's also the Outland Cup, and the new Trading Post (which, as always, our cohosts have a ton of opinions about).Plus, the hosts would like to nap, which I can support, but they'd also like to nap while mounted and driving around which seems a little irresponsible.Oh, and by the way, there's going to be an Overwatch mobile game. Yeah, that was pretty much our reaction too.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan and Ace are locking in and dropping back into Overwatch to break down the latest updates, balance changes and brand-new heroes shaking up the battlefield. Is Blizzard's ongoing support enough to keep the momentum strong, or are these additions a sign that the game is evolving in bold new ways? The guys dive deep into how these changes impact team comps, competitive play and the overall state of gaming right now. From fresh character abilities to meta-defining tweaks, we're analyzing what works, what feels broken and what it all means for the future of video games in the hero shooter space. If you're passionate about gaming and want to know whether it's time to reinstall, this episode has you covered. We'll also talk about how these updates position Overwatch in the wider video games conversation and whether Blizzard still has that magic touch in modern gaming.

Could it be that the reason this was so late in posting was because I got obsessed with Overwatch and finally launched by esports career? No; just boring life stuff getting in the way. If only I had another multiplayer live service game to motivate me, one with wacky robots and cartoonish characters. And I'm not talking about Fortnite, although Epic and Microsoft most certainly are.

This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and co-host Captain Logun break down major shifts in the gaming industry, from the continued collapse of live service games to why PlayStation's latest State of Play generated so much momentum. The episode examines Overwatch's platform reset, sustainability challenges facing games as a service, and how third-party marketing can make multiplatform releases feel exclusive. The discussion also looks at Xbox's evolving strategy, the role of optics in platform perception, and what these trends mean for players across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Additional conversations cover early reactions to upcoming titles, Remedy's Control universe, the risks and rewards of remasters and experimentation, and growing concerns around game preservation and long-term access to digital libraries.
