The show opens with a discussion about the frigid weather sweeping across the country, before moving into Apple's newly announced App Award Winners. The panel covers winners across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro—including the iPhone App of the Year Timbo and Vision Pro winner Explore POV—with commentary on design choices, spatial computing innovation, and whether they personally use the selected apps. Next, the 2025 Apple Podcast of the Year—The Rest Is History—leads the group into a conversation about podcast quality, history storytelling, and the growing depth of Apple's podcast ecosystem. Updates to visionOS 26.2 RC are discussed, including expanded Travel Mode for buses and cars, support for spatial accessories (like Logitech's stylus), and improvements to Freeform. Eric even admits the new features were compelling enough for him to install the beta. Updates for iOS/iPadOS 26.2 RC also make news, adding the Liquid Glass lock screen slider, Reminders alarms, new AirPods Live Translation support in the EU, and Podcasts app refinements. Jeff warns listeners to hold off on macOS Tahoe due to persistent audio issues, reinforcing that stability still matters more than flash. The show then pivots into a major AI segment featuring:     •    Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5, touted as the new coding champion among AI tools     •    ChatGPT's new holiday shopping assistant, which impressed some panelists     •    The controversial discovery of ads in ChatGPT's app code, sparking fears of "enshittification"     •    A possible Apple Health integration, which launches a passionate privacy debate     •    Real-world examples of AI massively reducing work time—from spreadsheets to meeting analytics The group revisits Apple's newest patent describing a crease-free foldable iPhone using liquid metal, prompting speculation on durability, user experience, and whether Apple can create a foldable without the hallmark crease. Apple's Year-End Music Charts and Apple Music Replay lead to panelists sharing their most-played artists—ranging from Supertramp to Rush to 80s icons—and poking fun at Dave's unavoidable Taylor Swift top rankings. Apple also releases a beautifully produced Accessibility in College ad, highlighting assistive technologies like magnifier, voiceover, and live captions. The panel praises Apple's leadership in accessible design and speculates on future features for glasses-based products. Finally, the team dives into a major Apple Arcade update, featuring five new games including Subway Surfers+, SpongeBob Patty Pursuit 2, PowerWash Simulator, and more. The topic unexpectedly evolves into a discussion of how simulation games—like power washing or trucking—can offer therapeutic calm for many players.

This week we dive into PowerWash Simulator 2, the long-anticipated sequel that finally launched in October 2025 and arrived day-one on Xbox Game Pass. We explore whether this follow-up keeps the relaxing magic of the first game or if it leans too heavily on the formula.In this episode, we break down:How the core loop evolves across 38 full jobs throughout Caldera County, with multi-stage tasks and larger, more complex environmentsThe expanded toolset: adjustable nozzles, surface cleaners, scissor lifts, and abseiling gear that add depth without overcomplicating the “power wash zen” the series is known forMajor multiplayer upgrades, including cross-play co-op, shared campaign progress, and split-screen local optionsThe new customizable “home base” that lets you decorate, store gear, and personalize your spaceLong-term support and whether the game feels built for regular content drops, DLC, and replay valueThen we ask the real question: does PowerWash Simulator 2 offer enough freshness to stand above the original, or is it simply a more polished version of what fans already love?Tune in for our full breakdown — and whether we say play it or pass it.

This week, we finally dive into the cultural behemoth that is K-Pop Demon Hunters—six months late and fully confused. We talk through how this extremely catchy, hyper-animated, wildly popular kids' movie managed to conquer 2025, even though it's… fine? We break down what works (the faces, the music, that glorious fat tiger), what doesn't (the pacing, the unearned romance, the baffling reconciliation), and why we're still not convinced it deserves the cultural chokehold it has. Plus, we catch up on everything we've been checking out lately—from doom metal to City Pop to WOJIA novels—and wonder how we went from Spider-Verse to this.Episode NotesWe kick things off with hard root beer, ingredient confusion, and the audacity of “beer, sugar, caramel color” as an ingredients list.Thanksgiving rant: we complain about Christmas invading everything earlier each year, praise gratitude as a practice, and call out the consumerist creep of “Black November.”Eden shares the saga of the family WhatsApp gratitude initiative and why performative gratefulness ain't it.New Year's resolutions? Terrible. A system designed to fail—except for gyms and planner companies.What We've Been Up ToEdenNot much… exhaustion + scrolling + arguing with Reddit.Reading more Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.Secretly going full Wuxia-pilled but not ready to talk yet.Deep in digital accessibility at work (contrast ratios forever).Listening almost exclusively to City Pop to summon 80s vibes.PeterHeavy music roundup:Shores of Null / Convocation split.A Sun of the Dying – Throne of Ashes.The Reticent – Please (mental-illness-theme concept album).1914 – Viribus Unitis, a blackened death metal concept album about WWI.Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Vol. 2, the lightest album of the three (which says something).Finished all seven Murderbot books and reflects on the genuinely human core beneath the action.Game updates:PowerWash Simulator 2 — massive improvements, more forgiving completion, soap freedom.Ball Pit (Ball×Pit) — breakout + roguelike + city builder; surprisingly great, Devolver-approved.

Embark Studios is back and this time it's their shiny new extraction shooter called Arc Raiders. This is a long-anticipated game from Brett who fell in love with The Finals, also made by Embark. This is their next game which takes you topside from Speranza to loot and extract back with valuable resources. Fight Arc Robots and maybe enemy raiders (or befriend them) and make it out alive with all your gear. It's amazing multiplayer and you won't want to miss this.Next, we talk about our review of PowerWash Simulator 2. It's more PowerWash Simulator but with a lot of new features such as attachments, extensions and various types of cleaning tools. It also features over 35 new levels of varying sizes plus co-op!Steam quietly dropped 3 new hardware announcements. No big press event, no showcase just a simple under 3 minute video showcasing the Steam Machine, the Steam Frame and the Steam Controller.

PlayStation 5 has officially turned five, giving us much to reflect upon. Has the console lived up to its potential, left folks disappointed, or fallen somewhere in between? We get into that -- alongside new Sony financials that paint an admittedly rosy picture -- before getting into the meat of our show. Two new Sony-aligned games have been revealed, but they've left many potential players puzzled, as neither offering is actually on PlayStation hardware. For starters, NCSoft's long-rumored Horizon MMO is real. It's called Steel Frontiers and it actually looks really nice. But it's only on PC and mobile. Meanwhile, a new Ratchet & Clank game has also been showcased, an online arena shooter called Ranger Rumble. But it too eschews PS5 and PS4, instead going straight to mobile platforms only. What gives? Why does Sony seem half-in on these off-platform initiatives, all the while neglecting their core audience that could give these respective titles the boost they need? Is it time for them to break old habits and embrace a more cogent multiplatform direction that centers PlayStation first and foremost? Plus: Sony's new 27" gaming monitor has people intrigued, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Spirits is getting another closed test, Elden Ring: Nightreign is receiving some much-needed DLC, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What do we think of Valve's new Steam Machine PC-console hybrid? In any given game's menus, where should subtitle options be nestled: General, Audio, or Graphics? Does ARC Raiders success potentially benefit Marathon? Is Dustin wielding his power over Brad in unsavory ways?

This week on The Middle of Culture, we close out our dive into Transformers with Transformers One, last year's animated prequel that tells the origin story of Optimus and Megatron. We rave about how shockingly good it is—beautiful animation, heartfelt storytelling, and voice performances that actually make you care about robots punching each other. Along the way, we talk about Sanderson's declining prose, the “YA-ification” of modern fiction, the decline of mass-market paperbacks, and why we'll always have a soft spot for dumb robot movies done well.Episode NotesOpening BanterPeter returns from travel (Boise and Napa), happy to be home.Eden vents about a rough week and hostile engineers during digital accessibility training, complete with an on-campus shooting alert mid-meeting.Peter describes an incredible dinner at Bistro Jeanty in Napa (truffle deviled eggs, beef bourguignon, and chocolate croissant bread pudding).Books & ReadingPeter finishes Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes (yes, the “Piña Colada Song” guy)—a darkly funny and satisfying story about the McMaster's School of Homicide.Reads Artificial Condition, the second Murderbot novella, and starts Write Your Novel from the Middle.Discussion on how story structure midpoints define theme and cohesion.Critique of Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth: great worldbuilding, but noticeably weaker prose since losing his longtime editor.Eden speculates that the issue might extend to the whole fantasy industry—less editing, more aesthetic consumerism, and the death of the mass-market paperback.Broader talk on the “dumbing down” of fiction and the rise of YA and “New Adult” markets catering to comfort rather than challenge.Music & Games CornerPeter dives into rediscovering Psychotic Waltz, Psychonaut, and Oramet—bands that balance progressive creativity with restraint.New release highlight: PowerWash Simulator 2.Eden tests two disappointing gacha games (Duet Night Abyss and Resonance Solstice) and finally uninstalls all HoyoVerse titles.Back to Final Fantasy XIV, excited about the new patch allowing full cross-class glamours.Main Feature – Transformers One (2024)Both agree: it's the best Transformers movie ever made—heartfelt, gorgeously animated, and genuinely emotional.Plot rundown: Orion Pax (Optimus) and D16 (Megatron) rise from the oppressed underclass of “Cogless” robots, uncover Sentinel Prime's corruption, and witness the birth of Autobot vs. Decepticon ideology.Core theme: friendship, betrayal, and revolution—the tragedy of two friends who believe in justice but choose different paths.Voice acting highlights:Brian Tyree Henry's nuanced Megatron is phenomenal.John Hamm nails the duplicitous Sentinel Prime.Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth have real chemistry, even if Hemsworth is the weakest link.Laurence Fishburne brings gravitas as Alpha Trion.Keegan-Michael Key's Bumblebee is purposefully annoying but fits the tone.Praise for the movie's subtle callbacks to the 1986 film (“You don't have the touch or the power”), strong emotional beats, and sense of earned tragedy.Both lament how poorly it performed at the box office—“we are part of the problem”—and hope it gets a sequel.Brief detour comparing the animated film's depth to the shallow chaos of the Michael Bay series.Closing ThoughtsTransformers One feels like the first time the franchise truly understood its own heart.Recommendation: watch it—it's smart, emotional, and fun as hell.

Les jeux épisodiques seraient-ils de retour? En tous cas, avec Dispatch, c'est un petit bijou qui débarque et qui se mange comme une nouvelle saison de votre série préférée. Dès le premier épisode, on est bluffés par la qualité de la réalisation, par les acteurs, et par le charisme global qui se dégage de cette production qui rappelle la grande époque de Telltale.On a également testé l'étrange There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, qui se retrouve au carrefour improbable entre Powerwash Simulator, House Flipper, et une comédie musicale avec des fantômes écossais. Ca sort en 2026 et on a hâte d'en voir plus.Et pour l'actu, et ben bien évidemment, c'est le report spectaculaire de Grand Theft Auto VI qui est au centre des conversations, et on va vous décrypter ça comme il faut.Bonne écoute à tous, comme toujours la Belle et le Gamer existe grâce au soutien de ses formidables fans via Patreon, et pour les rejoindre, ça se passe par ici.Pour rejoindre la communauté de La Belle et le Gamer et nous soutenir, tous les liens utiles se trouvent à l'adresse suivante, y compris l'invitation pour rejoindre notre serveur Discord, et notre chaîne Twitch: https://linktr.ee/LBELG. Hébergé par Ausha.

The gaming world felt the tremor of resolution this week as Epic Games and Google settled their landmark Android lawsuit, concluding a five-year legal battle over mobile app store practices. Meanwhile, the digital landscape received a blast from the past: Springfield's finest, The Simpsons, have descended upon Fortnite in a huge crossover event, turning the battle royale map into a delightfully absurd animated town. In hardware news, Nintendo's Switch 2 is cementing its place in history, reportedly having sold an astronomical 11 million units since its June debut, outpacing the PlayStation 5's launch success. Not all news was celebratory, however, as Rockstar Games disputed allegations that staff firings were linked to union activity, bringing the contentious issue of workers' rights back into sharp focus. Finally, while Arc Raiders climbs to the top of the OpenCritic charts as the highest-rated multiplayer shooter, fans are finding solace in the unexpected return of therapeutic gameplay with the release of PowerWash Simulator 2. Hear Gary, Jerome, and Taylor dive into these headlines, plus their personal picks including Hades 2 and the board game The Old Kings Crown, on the latest GameBurst Podcast.

Soderbergh's second film for Mark Cuban's Magnolia Pictures was THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, a largely improvised look at life on the cusp of the Great Recession starring adult film megastar Sasha Grey. We're joined by an anonymous writer and sex worker to talk about one of Soderbergh's less-appreciated great films, sex work as work, Grey's legacy, depictions of intimacy, and Power Wash Simulator for the Nintendo Switch.

Now that the nights are well and truly closing in (for us here in the UK at least) and Halloween is behind us, there's just enough time for the Indieventure trio to take one last look at the latest batch of new(ish) indie games we've been enjoying before turning our attention to the serious business of end-of-year celebrations. We say new-ish because, while Rachel and Liam are as on it and up-to-the-minute as ever, Rebecca has wandered off on a bit of a side-quest. Basically, it's still Halloween in her heart, and if that means shining a spotlight on some spooky (and/or romantically spooky-adjacent) games from six months or two years or heck, even nearly a decade ago, then it's more than worth it to create what we hope you'll all agree is a suitably autumnal vibe. To that end, our round robin discussion in this episode encompasses games including Absolum, Ball x Pit, Easy Delivery Co., Herdling, Layers of Fear (both the 2016 and 2023 versions), Monster Prom 4, Monstrous Love, and of course, PowerWash Simulator 2. Regular listeners might already have noticed that we've had a longer break between episodes than usual, and so naturally we've found plenty to be hyperfixated on in that time. Rachel has discovered the SCP Foundation collaborative fiction project, and while it's given her a bit of a crisis over her love for a certain suspiciously similar Remedy game, she nevertheless thinks you all should go and read about an eldritch basketball game in SCP-1733 if you haven't encountered it yet. Meanwhile, Liam's been enjoying some movies courtesy of Eatflix in Newcastle, and also thanks to everyone's favourite breathtaking meme machine Keanu Reeves' latest starring role in Good Fortune. And Rebecca has finally got her hands on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, her feelings on which are far too complex to condense down into this brief text summary, but on which she is at least qualified to speak with some authority as an OG mega-fan of the 21-year-old original cult classic. 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.

It feels like it just never ends with Xbox in the news, as hot off the heels of the major announcement of HALO going to PlayStation 5 with HALO: Campaign Evolved, comes some news that a Halo 2 and Halo 3 version of the same may also be in development. Plus, some news on the canceled HALO MMO that never was, and how is Don Mattrick involved? Sean and Marc discuss, plus Sean has some highlights from the latest ID @ Xbox showcase, and is gaming competing with movies and TikTok?Nintendo, of course, has been all in the news, whether it is great news about Pokémon Z-A sales or others complaining about the game, some may have lost track that Nintendo just keeps delivering the hits. Add on another potential big seller with the revival of Animal Crossing: New Horizons getting a big free update and a Nintendo Switch Edition. Is Marc ready to go back to his island? Plus, more on PowerWash Simulator 2, Dan Houser revealed why Agent was never released, another person who says Grand Theft Auto VI should be $100, Rockstar could have fired employees to prevent unionization, Netflix may bid on Warner Bros Discovery, and much more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!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/tatiKJgHcAsListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

An old piece of games industry lore has recently reemerged, and it has people wondering about a tantalizing what-if. Back in 1999, The Matrix hit theaters, and the co-creators of the film happened to have been huge fans of Hideo Kojima, himself a year removed from the launch of Metal Gear Solid. And, as was reported at the time, there was potential that Konami would allow Kojima to pursue a licensed Matrix game post-MGS. A lot of new information has since emerged about what did and didn't happen here, and it makes for a great conversation starter. So let's lean into it, shall we? Our conclusion: Perhaps Kojima doing MGS2 instead of a Matrix game means he likely dodged a bullet (pardon the pun). Other news this week includes some quiet updates seemingly being made to PlayStation Portal's functionality, leaks from Bluepoint's cancelled God of War game, the most recent China Hero Project title in the form of Loulan: The Cursed Sand, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Following Freedom Wars, Patapon, and Everybody's Golf, what should Sony's and Bandai Namco's next collaborative re-release be? Do PC players have any reason to invest in the modern PlayStation ecosystem? Will the culture war consume Naughty Dog's Intergalactic? Does Colin type so fast that his keyboard smokes?

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   This week, we start off with some discussion around Path of Exile 3.27, the Keepers of the Flame league, and how we are doing breach to make things with the tree tree. From there, we talk a bit about the murder of Amazon Game Studios and how New World is essentially a shambling corpse now…  spooky. After that horror story, we needed something chill, so we talked a bit about Powerwash Simulator and its interesting method for delivering a story.  Grace and Bel finally finish the Destiny Rising raid and talk a bit about how good it is at teaching mechanics in lower-level content.  Dispatch is a wildly good game that is being delivered in an episodic method that feels like you are playing a really good television show.  Guild Wars 2 Visions of Eternity launched and we talk about some of our early thoughts, namely around the builds introduced by the new elite specs.  Finally, we talk a bit about Outer Worlds 2 and how it makes good on the idea of Obsidian's very own Fallout New Vegas that the first game started.   Topics Discussed: Path of Exile 3.27 Keepers of the Flame The Tree Tree New World in Zombie Mode Powerwash Simulator Destiny Rising Raid Dispatch GW2 Visions of Eternity Early Thoughts Outer Worlds 2

Meanwhile, SNAP benefits hang in the balance and Open Enrollment looms, making November a month where politics and real life collide. It's rough out here, y'all. Then, Andrew leads us into the world of gaming, where a new generation of players say video games are boosting problem-solving, friendships, and even mental health. We dig into whether those claims hold up, share our own gaming habits, and hear from listeners about the titles that have them hooked (from Hades 2 to Powerwash Simulator 2). As always, we've got the best recommendations on deck: The Aura Frame (Andrew), Blue Prince (Laura), and checking out your local Library of Things (Pam). And in this week's After Dark: Pam makes the case for ranking your friends. Is it helpful self-awareness or emotional chaos? Let's talk about why knowing your “besties hierarchy” might actually make you a better friend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With Xbox's famous ringworld officially arriving on PlayStation 5 in 2026, we can rest assured that Sony's longtime rival has finally conceded the console space for good. Halo: Campaign Evolved -- clever! -- is a ground-up remake of the smash-hit 2001 Xbox launch title, and it comes with some new bells and whistles, including fresh content and a four-player online-enabled campaign. Microsoft even trotted Halo's community manager out in a PlayStation shirt, promised all upcoming Halo content is Sony-bound, and yielded perhaps their last meaningful franchise to the competition. This gives us much to discuss! Plus: Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead begins work on its next project, Horizon's live-action movie is slated to film next year and launch in '27, Resident Evil 0 Remake rumors are percolating, we may be waiting a while longer for Starfield's PS5 debut, Electronic Arts scores a renewed deal with the NFL to continue the Madden franchise, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why does anyone care about Photo Mode? What's our dream PowerWash Simulator 2 DLC? Is it okay to play a game without delving into its greater meaning and themes? Will Chris ever return from New York?

If you're a regular purchaser of games, you're a stark minority within the very industry you know and love. We've known all about the revenue-related trends directing games as of late, but recent data indicates things are far more dire than they seem, particularly if you're a single player purist. For instance, a third of gaming consumers purchase less than one game a year; 12% buy one game a year; 18% buy two games a year. Only 14% of players buy at least one game a month! Yet, there's more money flowing than ever. Like, lots more. What gives? A migration of customers and their habits, of course! We discuss. Other news this week includes a brief Mark Cerny video celebrating Sony's collaboration with AMD for PlayStation 6, the reemergence of Marathon with invites to an NDA'd closed test, the bluest DualSense controller you could possibly imagine, rumors of a cancelled Reconstruction-era Assassin's Creed, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Could Sony be on the precipice of adding to its family of first party studios? Is there a potential unfilled niche for medical-themed titles? Does PlayStation need to spin-up a new loyalty program? Forget about your favorite color. What's your favorite shape?
