This week on Special Conditions, Adam and Justin keep things lighter with a Pokémon life catch-up. Between travel plans, podcast chaos, collecting fatigue, and the constant stream of Pokémon news, this episode is more conversation than deep dive. We talk through the current Pokémon TCG vibes, the 30th Celebration reveal, NAIC 2026, reported changes around graded slabs and high-dollar vendor items at official events, and whether the hobby still feels fun when everything turns into a chase. Plus, we check in on Pokémon GO Fest Global, Justin going to Japan, promos, and the eternal question: what Pokémon thing is giving us joy right now, and what Pokémon thing is exhausting us?

Is it still a hobby if your shelves are literally groaning under the weight of your collection? This week, we're coming clean about our deepest, most dangerous collecting obsessions. We're diving headfirst into the plastic void of Godzilla kaju, Metroid bounty hunters, Xenomorphs, and the neon grid of TRON. Plus, we're talking about the thrill (and heartbreak) of chasing holographic Pokémon card pulls and why we absolutely needed every single custom Gears of War console ever made. Grab your lancer, protect your deck, and join us for a masterclass in hyper-fixation!

It's 2026 and while Magic: The Gathering has grown enormously over the past half a decade on the back of Universes Beyond, a ton of other TCG's have arrived on the scene trying to crave out some space for themselves. Magic and Pokémon stand above the rest to be sure, but how has the landscape changed with the likes Star Wars, One Piece, Flesh & Blood, Riftbound, ect entering the market?

Hour 4 opens with World Cup talk as excitement builds for tonight's first World Cup match in Miami, bringing global soccer energy to South Florida. The conversation also touches on the Panthers and expectations for next season, with the belief that once fully healthy they'll be right back in the mix as a serious contender. The guys then dive into NBA offseason chatter surrounding Jaylen Brown and the Celtics, questioning why Boston would even consider breaking up their core despite Brown and Jayson Tatum both thriving at an elite level. With Brown hinting at wanting a bigger spotlight and recent comments being interpreted in different ways, the discussion explores whether the two stars can truly coexist long-term or if a split is inevitable. From there, the hour shifts into lighter topics, including the booming popularity of Pokémon card collecting and flipping, and whether Jaylen Brown is actually more valuable than Giannis in today's NBA landscape. The hour wraps with Anthony Chiang joining to break down the latest Heat–Giannis rumors, Tyler Herro trade buzz, and Miami's potential backup plans if a blockbuster move doesn't materialize, including cap flexibility strategy and roster-building questions moving forward.

The guys are back with a packed show covering everything from the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes heating up again, with Miami still firmly in the mix and Tyler Herro's social media activity adding more fuel to the fire, to ongoing debate about whether the Heat can realistically land a superstar without including Bam Adebayo in a deal. The NBA talk continues with the Knicks' championship fallout, Jalen Brunson's clutch playoff run, and whether Boston is seriously considering breaking up the Jaylen Brown–Jayson Tatum duo as Brown continues to hint at a larger role. The Marlins remain one of the hottest stories in town after winning 10 of their last 12 and climbing back to .500 despite one of baseball's lowest payrolls, while Dolphins offseason discussion, quarterback debates, and Malik Willis' role continue to stir conversation. The show also hits World Cup buzz as Miami prepares to host its first match, plus Panthers optimism heading into next season once healthy, along with lighter stories on Pokémon card collecting, sports culture trends, and more in a jam-packed Monday.

Ryan shares his time with Mina the Hollower, while John dives into Killzone Shadow Fall as part of his ongoing backlog adventures. The conversation moves into Nintendo's ongoing legal situation, as new analysis suggests the company may only receive a $30,000 payout in its Pokémon‑related case involving Palworld developer Pocketpair. From there, the guys tackle a broader industry question: whether rising hardware prices are pushing gaming closer to becoming a luxury hobby. The episode then shifts into showcase season, with full rundowns of Summer Game Fest 2026, the Xbox Games Showcase 2026, and the June 2026 Nintendo Direct. John and Ryan highlight the major reveals, announcements, and trailers across all three events, comparing how each platform approached its big summer moment. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week takes a retro turn with a look at Monster Rancher Battle Card on the Game Boy Color, as the duo revisits the spin‑off's mechanics, presentation, and current market value.   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com   Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

​​Pokémon has announced that the North America International Championships will be moving from New Orleans to Chicago next year.

Mark Pincus founded Zynga—the company behind Words With Friends, FarmVille, and Zynga Poker—and has arguably created more hit consumer products than anyone in history. At Zynga, eight of 10 major game launches became massive hits, reaching over a billion players. Over the past five years, Mark has been synthesizing everything he's learned about building successful consumer products and turning it into a book, Life at the Speed of Play, which comes out on June 23. This is the first interview he's done about the book.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. His “Proven, Better, New” framework: copy what's proven, make it better so that 10 out of 10 people say “f*ck yes, I'll use this”—then add something new2. Why being less ambitious is the path to the most ambitious ideas3. His rule of thumb that your instincts are right 95% of the time, but your ideas are wrong 75% of the time4. “Kill hope before hope kills you”5.

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   This week, we record one of our shortest shows because, quite honestly, we did not have a ton to talk about.  That said, I feel like there were a lot of fun discussions. We start off talking about Forza Horizon 6, as Tam has discovered how fun this series is.  After that, we talk a bit about Voidling Bound, a game that a lot of us were not following but are now interested in. Ace discusses Fields of Mistria and talks about how it is very adjacent to Stardew Valley.  We also briefly talk about how good Spirit Crossing is.  There is this weird new feature in Path of Exile II where a player can sacrifice themselves to give every other player a bonus passive point, and we talk a bit about this design space.  Bel talks a bit about Raven RF, and how it does not quite work well, but is completely viable.  We have a few quick topics, one of which is how good Pokémon Horizons: Rising Hope has been.   Topics Discussed: Forza Horizon 6 Voidling Bound Fields of Mistria Path of Exile II Player Sacrifice Raven Righteous Fire Pokémon Horizons: Rising Hope

This week Chris and Jamal discuss a recent wave of Wayfarer-related bans and the lessons every Wayfinder can learn from them. The duo breaks down several forum posts from players claiming they were unfairly punished, only for the truth to unravel through forum investigations, misplaced pins, AI-edited nomination photos, multi-accounting admissions, and a few cases of people digging themselves deeper with every reply. Along the way, they discuss why the Wayfarer forums often provide a more balanced perspective than social media and offer practical advice on avoiding the dreaded banhammer. The conversation also takes a detour into a classic Tales from Canada segment featuring a former airline captain who allegedly flew commercial jets for 17 years without the required pilot license. Chris and Jamal discuss how such a thing could happen, what it says about trust in verification systems, and why both Air Canada and Transport Canada are likely eager to move on from the story. The episode wraps up with a look at a stunning butterfly mural for Wastepot of the Week, an appeal-worthy hobby shop nomination featuring one of the best supporting statements they've ever seen, and a Call of the Week highlighting why accurate pin placement remains one of the most important parts of a successful nomination. Episode Highlights: Recent Wayfarer ban cases and what actually happened Multi-accounting, AI-edited photos, and misplaced pins Why forum investigations often reveal the full story Tales from Canada: The pilot who allegedly flew without a license for 17 years Wastepot of the Week: "Unraveling Border #2" butterfly mural Appeal success story from Des Plaines Hobbies Call of the Week: Airport map nomination gone wrong Dad jokes, hockey talk, and a birthday countdown for Jamal Quote of the Week:"If you're digging a hole, drop the shovel and walk away."

From author Justin C. Key comes The Hospital at the End of the World: A Novel (Harper, 2026), set in a near future where artificial intelligence runs the world, involving a young medical student who must unravel family secrets to uncover the truth of his father's mysterious death. In a time not so far from our own, society is run by a global AI system controlled by an all powerful corporation. The Shepherd Organization oversees every medical school in the country save one in New Orleans, the renegade Hippocrates which still insists on human-led medicine. It is the last choice school for an ambitious young New Yorker named Pok. But after his father—himself a physician—dies under mysterious circumstance that seems connected to “the shepherds” and their megalomaniacal young CEO, Pok finds himself on a quest for answers that leads right to Hippocrates. Once enrolled, he stumbles upon a further mystery: a strange illness is plaguing newcomers to New Orleans who grew up under shepherd rule. What is causing this fatal anomaly? And how does it relate to the mystery of Pok's father's death and his own mysterious past? Justin C. Key is a practicing psychiatrist and a speculative fiction writer. He is the author of the debut novel The Hospital at the End of the World and the story collection The World Wasn't Ready for You. His stories have appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Strange Horizons, Escape Pod, Lightspeed, and on Tor.com. He received a BA in biology from Stanford University and completed his residency in psychiatry at UCLA. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lured Up Podcast 396 Live Streamed on - 6/9/2026 Publish Date - 6/12/2026 To all the new listeners: WELCOME and THANK YOU for checking out LURED UP! We are back home from GO Fest Chicago and we are both in agreement that this was the best IRL GO Fest that we have ever attended. There is plenty to unpack to back up our sentiment, beginning with how the introduction of different gameplay “Districts” put you right into the gameplay, as soon as you stepped off the plane. It was an amazing feeling to have the event come to life as soon as arriving in Chicago, and the barrage of geo-based Timed Research kept Trainers tied to their games as the grind through a flurry of tasks. Even moving from the airport to our hotel kept us immersed in the game, making the gameboard come to life. If really make Trainers feel like they were looking at an in-game world map at their feet. The geo fencing of districts paired with associated Timed Research had players covering a serious amount of territory. If this is any indication of how IRL events can curate and shape real life gameplay behaviors, than this is just the tip of a very exciting iceberg. We had a full weekend of gameplay, including countless Raids and an insane amount of walking. Both of our Adventure Sync numbers were above 120km. In typical Lured Up fashion, we had stuff going on all weekend. On Friday nights we hosted our meetup at Monk's Pub, the same place as our 2019 meetup. You all SHOWED UP and we had double the turnout than we expected, and we are so grateful to have been able to spend time with all of you. Next year we will need a new venue! Saturday night was Adam's idea, with a Pokémon themed Pop-Punk night. All of the bands on the bill were incredible, with Midway Down headlining and absolutely brought the house down. It was so much fun to hang with the community in that setting. We will absolutely be incorporating live music/entertainment into our plans next year! Finally on Friday we met up with our good friend JT Valor for a final push of Raids at the end of the weekend. In typical Raid Train Fashion, we ended up picking up Trainers at every stop. It was VERY cool to see JT in action. He gives so much of himself to his fans and spends heaps of time with everyone. JT's combination of hardcore gameplay, travel, and approachability is PGO video content at its best. In typical live-service fashion, it seemed that about as soon as we stepped on the airplane to come home, new news was dropping about the events happening through the end of the month. We blast through the news and cover all of the new event info released post-Chicago.

Talking Trek is BACK, and this episode comes packed with emotional updates, ridiculous comedy, and a massive Star Trek Fleet Command economy discussion. We start with server sound-off, the return of Talking Trek Stupid News, and a deeply questionable investigation into Demolition Man and the legendary three seashells. DJ also shares the personal story of Oliver's recent hospital emergency, the children's hospital team that helped him recover, and why child life programs matter so much. Then we dive into STFC with a full breakdown of Voyage Across the Void, the new weekly event structure, officer shard math, platinum concerns, battle pass changes, the mythic track, and what all of this may mean for the future of Fleet Command's economy. Is Voyage Across the Void a better system? Is the mythic battle pass worth it? Is G7 too expensive? Is Fleet Command finally trying to reset years of broken math, or did they just hand the player base a calculator and a headache? Let's talk about it. Download, stream, argue, laugh, and bring your spreadsheets. This one has feelings, math, mullets, and mild economic panic.   0:56 Welcome Back to Talking Trek Live 3:32 Bulk Claim Grief, Chicago Blame, and Sports Ball Confusion 8:23 Talking Trek Stupid News Returns 17:54 Demolition Man, the Three Seashells, and Maya's Diagnostic Failure 22:12 Where We've Been: Oliver's Hospital Story 31:21 Child Life, Therapy Dogs, and Gratitude for Children's Hospitals 38:54 Chicago, Pokémon GO Fest, and a Makeup Birthday Stream 41:00 Oliver Calls the Show and Requests App Approvals 45:40 The Oliver Debit Card Game Begins 52:00 Back to Fleet Command After the Hiatus 55:00 Voyage Across the Void Event Series Breakdown 58:00 Weekly Event Structure and New Permanent Sourcing 1:01:00 Daily SMS/SLB Rewards, Materials, and Missing Pieces 1:10:00 Produced Breakdown Wrap-Up: Is Voyage Across the Void Good? 1:13:00 Platinum Losses, Officer Shards, and First Impressions 1:22:00 Officer Depot Math and Weekly Reward Comparisons 1:34:00 Economy Reset Talk: Too Much, Too Fast? 1:40:00 Less Chores, More Choice: Cameron's Direction for STFC 1:49:00 Fun vs Rewards: Would Players Take Less for Better Gameplay? 1:55:00 M90 vs M91 Battle Pass and Mythic Track Discussion 2:01:00 Battle Pass Milestone Changes and Reward Rearrangement 2:07:00 Faction Credits, Platinum Conversion, and G7 Value Math 2:13:00 Battle Pass Value vs Player Sentiment 2:16:00 The Core Problem: Everything Costs Too Much 2:22:00 G3 Economy Memories and Lessons for G7 2:28:00 Omega Materials, Stat Squish Talk, and Economy Repair Ideas 2:34:00 New Players, Veteran Frustration, and the “First Pancake” Problem 2:37:00 Is Mythic Basically a Second Battle Pass? 2:40:00 Officer History, Battle Pass Memories, and Economy Wrap 2:44:00 Chicago Exhaustion, Production Day, and LEGO Enterprise Plans 2:48:00 GoWheel Updates, Meetups, and Community Travel Goals 2:52:00 Commercial Chaos: Mullets, Inflation, and Cereal Toys 2:56:00 Talking Trek AMA Begins 3:00:00 Athena Purchases, Shenanigans, and Ship Blueprint Questions 3:04:00 G6 Scrapping, QOL Leaks, and Rapid-Fire Chat Questions 3:08:00 Battle Pass Submissions, Mega Cube, Skydeck, and Final Questions 3:12:00 Final Plugs and Sign-Off

We dive into Mario, Pokémon, He-Man/She-Ra, Gundam, Evangelion, Power Rangers, and the enduring popularity of Fullmetal Alchemist and the Animaniacs.

This month I continued to scale Pokémon at Walmart, but it feels like it may be nearing a breaking point due to the massive quantities of accounts that have been created in the last few months. We also went on a trip to southern Japan, Guam, and Manila, including several FHR properties, which ended up being a lot of fun!For more information on the Patreon and private Slack group, head over to churninglife.com.

This week, Jun and Daniel sit down for a very special, one-of-a-kind episode featuring four unprecedented guests: Daniel's children! Ranging in age from 3 to 11, the kids have spent the last five years growing up in South Korea, and with the family's impending move back to the United States, Daniel and Jun wanted to capture their unique perspectives as a family time capsule.If you're interested in what third culture kids think about transitioning from Korean elementary schools to American ones, how playground politics are divided by language fluency, or the hilarious ways children interpret adult podcast conversations (hint: interest rates and elevators), this episode is a must-listen. The kids also share their earliest memories of moving to Korea during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic—including the two-week mandatory quarantine, daily cotton swabs, and the indoor arcade in their temporary housing. We even get a live, unscripted Pokémon card unboxing!As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.

And so we're back from outer space (or wherever it is Indieventure hosts like to go on holiday). Yep, after our little recording hiatus – seamlessly covered for with pre-recorded Pokémon chat, bet you didn't even notice that was a weird one – your intrepid trio is back together for the first time in a month, and naturally we all have one question on our minds: what have we all been playing while we were apart? Of course, two-thirds of the group were on dream holidays and thus didn't play a whole lot, but there's still plenty to talk about, between all the cool indies that launched in April/May and all the awesome games that have been sitting in our backlogs waiting for exactly this kind of downtime! So Rebecca (who is the only one who hadn't been on her holidays yet at the time of recording) dusted off some intriguing older one-shot indies in the form of 2:22AM and Babette, as well as falling down the Forbidden Solitaire rabbit hole. Rachel made the most of about one week with her PC, also playing Forbidden Solitaire as well as Wax Heads, Phonopolis, and a frankly unbelievable amount of other games given the short time she was home. Liam has only really played one indie game all month, but since it's Mina the Hollower he's certainly not short of opinions to share with the group. We end as ever on our latest round of hyperfixations, and Rachel currently thinks there's nothing better in this world than a sweet little TikTok remix about a cat named Serafino (and she's probably right!). Liam proves that South Korea is still completely dominating the Netflix original programming market with Culinary Class Wars, a cooking competition made extra special by the contrasting personalities of the two hosts. And Rebecca is finally ready to talk about The Saint of Steel series by T Kingfisher, the series singlehandedly responsible for turning her opinion of romantasy on its head. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic. Meanwhile, you can find us at indieventurepodcast.co.uk or wherever you listen to podcasts.

What starts as a chaotic debate about Yakuza-style tattoos, zodiac animals, and Patrick Star wielding katanas turns into one of the most heartfelt gaming conversations the Boss Rush Gamescast crew has ever had. Pat Klein, Stoy Jovic, Stephanie Klimov, and Just Taylor dive into everything from retro gaming nostalgia, arcade memories, JRPG obsessions, and hidden indie gems to modern gaming burnout and the growing toxicity surrounding online gaming culture.

There is nothing we love more than a good listener question episode. It is the absolute best way for my Business Superpowers co-host, Lau Lapides, and me to connect directly with you bosses and dig into what you are actually experiencing in your daily business. Recently, we combed through a handful of listener questions, and one from a listener named Ben immediately stopped us in our tracks: "What are voice actors wasting the most time on right now?" Oh boy. Get comfortable, because Lau and I did not hold back. From the black hole of digital over-exposure to the exact mechanics of a genuine read, we broke down what you need to stop doing—and what you need to start focusing on—to take your business to the next level. Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The Trap of Self-Sabotage and Analysis Paralysis (00:01 – 04:10) Anne kicks off the listener Q&A with Ben's question about where voice talent waste the most time. Lau immediately calls out the silent killer of VO careers: intentional or unintentional self-sabotage. She describes how talent waste massive amounts of mental energy second-guessing auditions, wondering why they didn't get a booking, and obsessing over whether a client "liked" them. Anne shares how surviving cancer completely transformed her perspective in the booth, freeing her from minor anxieties and giving her permission to just have fun, audition, forget it, and move on. Chapter 2: Fantasizing vs. Actively Doing the Hard Work (04:11 – 07:53) Anne and Lau shift the spotlight to a different kind of time-wasting: thinking about the work instead of actually doing the work. They discuss talent who get trapped "fantasizing" about the perfect gig or complaining that they "just need to market more" without sending a single email. Lau warns that a wild creative imagination is a gift for acting, but a massive liability when it comes to the logical, disciplined day-to-day realities of running a small business, tracking invoices, and practicing script homework. Chapter 3: Digital Exposure, Brain Overload, and the Power of the "Share" (07:54 – 13:42) Lau introduces the danger of digital over-exposure and "dopamine addiction" online. Anne admits to the ongoing battle of keeping too many browser tabs open (shoutout to all the fashion buffs out there!), and Lau explains how overdosing on digital stimuli—even high-intensity entertainment like horror movies or daytime dramas—can alter your brain waves and derail your focus. To combat isolation and comparisonitis, they recommend building a tight-knit inner circle of colleagues to break your mental bubbles and celebrate wins constructively. Chapter 4: The Myth of the "Easy" Read and the Olympian Metaphor (13:43 – 16:44) The hosts tackle the frustrating reality that both new talent and bad clients minimize the value of voice acting because "it looks easy." Anne uses a great metaphor involving the Southern California lottery for Olympic tickets: elite gymnasts and swimmers make their movements look completely effortless, yet no one assumes they can jump onto a balance beam and replicate it. Professional voice acting requires the exact same unseen, high-level athletic discipline. Chapter 5: Gravitas, Empathy, and Decoupling the "Low Voice" (16:45 – 19:14) Anne raises another major listener question: What does authenticity actually sound like, and how does it relate to the industry's current obsession with "authority"? Lau notes that breakdown specs are constantly demanding "gravitas" and "assertiveness," especially for women. However, they debunk the myth that gravitas requires an artificially low pitch. True authority comes from a deep frame of reference and understanding your target market's specific culture—whether you are a 48-year-old corporate narrator or an 8-year-old expert talking about Pokémon. Chapter 6: The "physicating" Framework and Keeping Auditions Raw (19:15 – End) Anne breaks down the exact training method she teaches in her precision narration classes: acting is never a primary action; it is always an empathetic reaction to a problem. She shares her famous "Jersey Girl" driving example to outline her step-by-step performance framework: Breathe, Focus, Physicalize (or "Physicate"), and Speak. Lau and Anne close the show by urging talent to stop editing out the raw, human elements of their commercial and animation auditions, opting for a bit of authentic grit over artificial perfection. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Ditch the audition autopsy: Wondering why you didn't book a gig is a form of procrastination. Fire off the audition, forget it completely, and redirect that energy into your next project. Analysis leads to paralysis: Second-guessing the client's internal thoughts stops your creative momentum. Give yourself permission to fail forward. Discipline your imagination: Your creative brain is a beautiful tool for script interpretation, but keep it out of your business operations. Run your invoices, tech updates, and marketing with cold, hard logic. Guard your digital environment: Overdosing on social media scrolling and endless digital tabs alters your focus. Protect your mental health by setting strict boundaries on your screen time. Break the isolation bubble: When you find yourself trapped in a negative mental rerun, pick up the phone or hop on a call with a trusted business peer who can ground you back in reality. Immunity over insecurity: Stop letting other people's online wins trigger your insecurities. Use your community's success stories as a roadmap to learn what is currently working in the marketplace. Effortless execution takes years: If your delivery sounds like "just reading," you are doing it right. Treat the illusion of simplicity as a professional compliment, but never let a client use it to devalue your rates. Gravitas isn't a vocal register: True authority and credibility have absolutely nothing to do with how low your voice can go. True gravitas is rooted in confidence, presence, and direct connection. Master the art of "Physicating": Before you speak a single word of a script, run through Anne's four pillars: Breathe naturally, Focus on the unwritten moment before, Physicalize the reaction with your body, and then Speak. Keep it a little dirty: Stop turning in overly polished, perfectly scrubbed, sterile audio files for commercial and animation auditions. Leave the natural breaths and human imperfections in the track—casting directors want a real human being, not an algorithm.
