Ever notice how the best artists don't just make noise—they guard their peace? We bring Teddy into the booth to talk about what it takes to create with intention when the world keeps pulling your focus. He unpacks the shift from reacting to responding, and why that one choice protects your energy, sharpens your decisions, and lets your music breathe.Teddy's path reads like a mixtape: born in Germany, raised across military bases, soaking up cultures from Kansas to Alaska to California before dropping anchor in Chicago. That movement shaped an ear that loves variety—family record crates, a grandmother who DJ'd in Chicago, and early moments of discovery that made hip-hop feel both personal and global. We dive into how context unlocks sound, why cadence matters as much as content, and how local scenes forge identity before the world catches on.We trace the grind from ciphers and hallway battles to a makeshift studio powered by a tape deck, PS2, and MTV Music Generator—then into Magix, Ableton, and Maschine. Along the way, we compare California and Chicago show ecosystems, the role of open mics in building an artist's voice, and the pride a city takes when its sound travels. We also face the industry head-on: streaming's reach vs. revenue, the early pioneers who took the heat for brand-building, and whether AI can polish a track yet still miss the human connection that turns songs into moments. We close with life lessons that carry into the studio: a healthy relationship as a place of growth, safety, and accountability—and a few laughs about love, loyalty, and even impossible deodorant.Pull up for craft, perspective, and a warm invite to Kitty's Cocktail Lounge Sunday Service in Blue Island.

Read transcriptListen up, mutation enthusiasts and multi-platform adventurers, because this week on Play Comics we're strapping on our Kevlar suits and diving straight into the bewildering, beast-infested, cross-console chaos of X-Men: The Official Game! We're talking about the 2006 game that launched on practically every system known to mankind (GBA, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. Seriously, did they forget a platform?), which based the story nominally on the third X-Men film from Fox. You know, the one that showed us what happens when Professor Xavier and Magneto finally decided to outsource their beef settlement to a video game developer. This particular romp through Marvel's merry mutant universe was brought to you by the folks who looked at a film featuring Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman and thought, “What if we made this game SLIGHTLY different on each platform?” It's like they were challenged to see just how elastic the definition of ‘the same game' could be, and frankly, the results are beautifully inconsistent. The story was co-written by Chris Claremont (yes, THAT Chris Claremont) and Zak Penn, and it featured voice acting from the actual film cast, which means you got Hugh Jackman's growl in your living room, your handheld, and probably also your neighbors' living rooms at 2 AM. Joining us to make sense of this portable and stationary pandemonium is none other than Alex Zalben from Comic Book Club, a weekly live talk show about comics that's been running since 2006, performed at every major comic convention you can think of, written up in the New York Times more than once, and hosted literally hundreds of guests with more swagger than most podcasts muster in a lifetime. Alex is a writer, editor, and podcaster who knows his way around both four-color storytelling and video game adaptations, making him the perfect guide to help us determine whether this cross-generational, cross-console adventure managed to capture what makes the X-Men actually work, or if it just made us wish we could teleport away from our screens. So sync up your Danger Room protocols, pick your favorite handheld or home console, and get ready for an episode that's guaranteed to be more chaotic than a Sentinel factory explosion and infinitely more confusing than trying to figure out why THIS game exists on THAT console! Learn such things as: Who thought it was a good idea to put this on so many consoles? Is it possible to get that team feeling when you're playing solo? Is it better to look at this game as a sequel to the 2nd movie, or a prequel to the 3rd movie? And so much more! You can find Alex on YouTube @ComicBookClub and of course Comic Book Club Live.

La prensa y la opinión pública pueden llegar a precipitarse a la hora de valorar productos de ocio, en este caso videojuegos. Esta semana os traemos un repaso por aquellos títulos que de primeras no fueron bien valorados pero que han terminado generando un culto en algunas ocasiones: El menú de hoy: ✅ Efeméride de la Semana ✅ Grandes Videojuegos que fueron Vapuleados por la Crítica ✅ Análisis de Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Han participado: Alberto González "Gunkaiser" (@gunkaiser) Rafa García (@rafagarvas) Sergi Gurriz (@Waylis10) La voz del programa: Henar Hernández (@HenarHAsensio)
But I did like it. A lot. (Please don't hurt me Undertale fans.) This episode is, surprise surprise, all about Undertale, an RPG where you can complete the entire adventure without killing a single soul...or you can kill everyone if that's your fancy. It's up to you (or me in this case) to decide what kind of tale you want to tell. Spoilers: I went the pacifist way. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day. (And if you haven't already, or are a listener and not a watcher, please like, subscribe, hit the bell, and all that jazz; it may not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping support the show and site in general. I would appreciate it greatly.)
Julen är här och vi pratar om allt mellan jul och Jesus - och om Frasse Kings julklapp, någon har gett Frasse bakis-botemedlet. Vad vill kvinnor och Johan ha i julklapp, Brad Pitt. 62 år. Tidlöst face. Är det peak human? Chrille minns julklapparna: PS2, GTA och inga bekymmer. Jake Paul får en stor applåd för 6 rundor, har han återupplivat boxningscenen?
Two mics, one space heater, and a dream: we kick off the first week of Big Jay's Replays and tell the truth about building a local game shop from the ground up. From weather-thinned foot traffic to a rush of trade-ins—PS2 hauls, stacks of DVDs and CDs, and a shocker of vintage TMNT figures worth serious cash—we walk through the moves that matter: fair valuations, flexible appointments, and setting up play areas that make people linger. It's messy, real, and way more fun than the glossy version.Behind the counter, the numbers get interesting. We break down credit card processing fees by brand, swipe charges, percent-of-transaction rates, hardware costs, monthly support, and PCI compliance. No sugarcoating—just the actual overhead small retailers face and why some pass fees to customers. Jay doesn't. He's betting on loyalty, momentum, and the simple magic of a welcoming store. That spirit spills into neighbor relations too: clearing up a back-entrance issue, swapping a gift card for a cross-promo giveaway, and building a mini-ecosystem with the card shop next door so collectors hit both spots in one trip.Then we throw sparks with music discovery. Wolves at the Gate delivers melody and muscle, Stained With Silver brings moody cinematic textures, and Resistor's “Mutt” drops a turntablist into metal, filling a groove we didn't know we missed. We spiral into the wild world of “The John Candy,” AI-tinted visuals, and sample-packed chaos, before pivoting to EDM anthems, Eurodance nostalgia, and Little Big's “LollyBomb,” whose towering build-ups punch like a perfect breakdown. If you love retro games, underground bands, and the thrill of finding gold where the algorithm sleeps, you'll feel right at home.Stick around for holiday wishes and a promise to keep uncovering the good stuff—on shelves and in playlists. If this ride hits your frequency, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your favorite discovery from the episode in a review so others can find us too.Send us a text message and let us know how awesome we are!

Read transcriptAttention, galaxy defenders and neuralyzer-dodging citizens! This week on Play Comics, we're suiting up to tackle Men in Black II: Alien Escape, a title that hit the PS2 and GameCube with all the grace of a cockroach climbing out of a dumpster. We are looking at a game that saw the plot of the second movie, shrugged, and decided that what the franchise really needed was a run-and-gun shooter where Agent K looks less like a grizzled veteran and more like an Elvis impersonator midway through a bad Vegas residency. Joining us to figure out why the Class 7 Ozone Demogrifier sounds like a vacuum cleaner you'd buy from a 3 AM infomercial is the omnipresent Doug Fink. You know him, you love him, and you can hear him on Walloping Websnappers, Novel Gaming, Falling with Style, and Skreeonk, all of which are on the Glitterjaw Podcast Collective. Together, we're diving deep into a game that proves you don't actually need the likeness rights to your main characters to ship a product, provided you have enough aliens to splatter across a corridor that looks exactly like the last five corridors you just ran through. So put on your Ray-Bans, check your memories at the door, and prepare for an episode that makes about as much sense as putting a Ballchinian in a post office. Learn such things as: Is it possible to base a game on a movie while simultaneously ignoring 90% of the things that happened in said movie? How many times can you fight the same boss with a slightly different color palette before you start rooting for the destruction of Earth? Can you even compare this to the comics or should you just compare it to the movies? And so much more!

Read transcriptGrab your custom jutsu hand seals and prepare to feel a crushing sense of inadequacy when comparing your reaction time to a ninja's because we're diving shadow clone deep into the first Naruto Ultimate Ninja game on PlayStation 2! This week we're channeling our inner shinobi to explore how Bandai Namco took Masashi Kishimoto's legendary manga about a determined orange-suited underdog and transformed it into a frantic button-mashing tournament fighter that somehow convinced an entire generation of fans that they could recreate iconic Naruto moments if they just hit the attack button fast enough and screamed at their TV harder than Naruto himself. Released during the golden age of anime-to-console adaptations, the Naruto Ultimate Ninja games became the de facto way fans could live out their ninja fantasies—assuming your ninja fantasy involves janky camera angles, occasionally unresponsive inputs, and the kind of special effect visual soup that makes you wonder if you're actually watching a jutsu or if your PS2 is just having a mild aneurysm. With fighters pulled straight from the Hidden Leaf Village and beyond, these games proved that sometimes the best way to honor a beloved manga is to give players the chance to make Naruto fight characters he had absolutely no reason to fight (looking at you, random filler villains). This episode, we're absolutely stoked to welcome Cory Byrd from Byrds Eye View Comics—a fellow enthusiast of all things sequential art and gaming who can probably explain why Naruto's popularity transcended manga, anime, AND video games with the kind of clarity that makes marketing departments weep with envy. Together, we'll investigate whether these games managed to capture the heart, humor, and hyperkinetic energy of Kishimoto's creation, or if they just left us face-first in the dirt like Naruto at the beginning of the series. So synchronize your chakra, practice your most devastating combo, and prepare for an episode that's guaranteed to be more chaotic than a Sand Village invasion and infinitely more entertaining than watching filler arcs about onigiri eating contests. Learn such things as: Can a game truly capture the experience of having ninjas solve political problems through friendship when there's no friendship stat on the screen? How many ninja village headbands would it take to actually run an economy, or is that question unanswerable because the series never bothered explaining it? Is it more important for characters in a fighter to be balanced or accurate? And so much more! You can find Cory on Instagram @ByrdsEyeOfficial, the Byrds Eye View Comics Facebook page, and of course his website Byrds Eyes View Comics.

Read transcriptLock your squad into formation, charge your bolters, and prepare your genetically-enhanced blue skin for a parade of panzer-busting action because this week on Play Comics we're putting boots to dirt in the grim, industrial wastelands of Rogue Trooper, the 2005 third-person shooter that took Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons's iconic tale of a genetically engineered super-soldier and transformed it into a cover-based combat experience that somehow managed to capture the grit, the fury, and the desperate isolation of being a lone warrior against overwhelming odds. Originally deployed across PS2, Xbox, and Wii, Rogue's had more platform changes than a soldier has armor repairs, eventually landing a remaster invasion on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, proving that some grimdark British sci-fi concepts just refuse to stay buried in the trenches. Speaking of refusing to stay down, we're genuinely thrilled to have Steve Morris from Shelfdust joining us for this deep dive. When he's not busy operating as the marketing manager for 2000 AD itself, essentially being the guy who decides which corner of Judge Dredd's dystopia gets the spotlight treatment, he's the critical voice behind one of comics fandom's most thoughtful, hilarious, and incisive podcast ecosystems. Steve brings both the insider knowledge of how 2000 AD operates AND the fan's perspective that makes him the perfect guide through this particular adaptation's journey from glossy magazine pages to console warfare. Together, we'll investigate whether this hyper-violent squad-based adventure managed to capture what makes Rogue Trooper such an enduring character, a soldier stripped of everything but his wits, his weapons, and three AI companions implanted directly into his equipment. Does the game understand the existential dread of being created solely as a weapon? Can it convey the isolation that defines the character while also providing the kind of multiplayer mayhem that defines the era? And perhaps most importantly: does this game explain why blue skin became the ultimate badge of being expendable in the far future? Grab your tactical visor, synchronize your biometric links, and prepare for an episode that's more explosive than a Rogue Trooper ambush and considerably more thoughtful than you'd expect from a game about murdering aliens on a lifeless planet. Learn such things as: What happens to character development when your entire supporting cast is literally just AIs living in your equipment? Does covering the same ground across four different console generations change how audiences perceive the story being told? How do you make a character who exists specifically to be expendable actually matter to players emotionally? And so much more! You can find Steve on Bluesky @Shelfdust which makes sense since you can also find him on the Shelfdust website. And if you want to check out the 2000 AD stuff, there's always and the If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you're interested in.

Something for everyone, you surely agree! Are any of them good, though? We all know Wild Wil Racing is the drizzling shits, but can any game grab the sacred S tier?Come say hi @winnerisyoupod over on Twitter or BlueSky - tell us your favourite PS2 launch game, whydontcha?

And while I've played some GREAT PS2 games for the podcast, God of War II might just be the best of the bunch.I've loved the modern God of War games, and whenI finally played the OG a few years ago I thought it was really solid. I've been looking forward to diving into the rest of the series ever since, and hey hell, the sequel did not disappoint. In my opinion, this game raises the bar in every way from the first game. Better story, better graphics, MUCH better pacing, and more incredible boss fights. I don't even mind the reliance on QTEs (minus the Zeus fight, which is a little cheap).My guest this week is our resident Stpd Mnky, my buddy Daniel. He was there for the original God of War episode, and he's back for round 2 to help me remember the names of all these stupid Gods and to help me sing the praises of just a fantastic game. He'll be back for part III, and I can assure you it won't take another 4 years to get there.And before we take on the Gods, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, a new game collector asks for a little advice.

Thoughts during the Denver Broncos Bye Week. Is QB Bo Nix the best QB from the 2024 NFL Draft, all signs point to yes. Will we see PS2 and Alex Singleton shortly after the bye, one looks to be a yes. Plus, K Wil Lutz awarded a new contract fresh off his walk off winning kick against KC. Oh...and just another reminder...Chiefs Kingdom...IS DONE!!! #broncos #broncoscountry #broncoscountryblitz #nfl #podcast
Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth open the fourth hour updating the listeners on the NFL’s plan for world domination before they set their expectations for Shedeur’s first start. he guys are joined by our ESPN NFL Analyst, Dan Orlovsky, to break down Bo’s improved footwork and what makes the Broncos’ defense so hard to play against. They get a “Tell Me Why I’m Wrong” about the Avs’ dominance and another about Nikola Jokic’s dominance. Mike, Mark, and Stoke get “Tell Me Why I’m Wrongs” from a Bronco fan who’s fed up with Riley Moss, a PS2 doubter, and a very hopeful Rockies fan to cap off a “Tell Me Why I’m Wrong Wednesday”.
This episode is all about Transformers: Galactic Trials, "an intense fusion of arcade racing and robot combat. Evil Nemesis Prime has stolen the Prime Relics that bestow incredible powers on whoever possesses them. Now the Autobots and Decepticons are in an explosive race to recover these powerful artifacts – which side will you fight for?"

Read transcriptDust off your cowabunga collection and prepare your fists for some serious turtle-powered mayhem, because this week on Play Comics we're diving shell-first into TMNT: Mutant Melee, the 2005 arena-based fighting bonanza that took the 2003 animated series and asked the most important question: what if we just got all the turtles, their friends, AND their enemies into one room and let them beat the absolute snot out of each other? Developed by Konami for PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC, this isn't your typical one-on-one fighter—it's more like if Smash Bros and Power Stone had a shell-covered baby and that baby knew all of Splinter's teachings. Joining us for this body-slamming brawl is the incomparable Tommy Proffitt from Distant Echoes and Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, a podcast wizard who understands the intricate art of dissecting character-based chaos and canon coherence like few others can. Plus being able to bring his signature blend of gaming nostalgia and comedic precision to help us determine if this colorful chaos simulator managed to capture the spirit of its source material or if it swung its nunchucks at empty air. Together, we'll navigate the treacherous waters of Last Man Standing mode, contemplate why anyone thought having 22 playable characters was a good idea, and investigate whether the game's holiday-themed cosmetics (seriously—set the date to December 25th and watch the turtles rock Santa hats) are feature or bug. Learn such things as: What does it say about a game when its best feature might legitimately be the ability to unlock the original arcade game inside it? What's the difference between a party fighter and a fighting game that doesn't know what it wants to be? Can the 2003 cartoon's tone can survive being translated into “everyone fights everyone all the time? And so much more!

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into the Broncos offensive struggles this season, specifically Bo Nix's struggles. We react to JK Dobbins' injury and question if RJ Harvey can fill in as the bell cow running back. How impactful has the absence of Marvin Mims been? Who would the guys rather have suit up for the Broncos on Sunday between PS2 and Dobbins? We go through the AFC contending teams and examine what the records are of the teams they've played. What AFC resumes were the most surprising and which have the most fraudulent resume? Zach and Phil give a shoutout to the Veterans to honor them for Veteran's Day. We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joining the show to discuss JK Dobbins' injury.
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate if the Broncos should "push" Patrick Surtain to return this week against the Chiefs. We hear from Mike Klis and his comments on JK Dobinns' injury. Who would the guys rather have suit up for the Broncos on Sunday between PS2 and Dobbins? We go through the AFC contending teams and examine what the records are of the teams they've played. What AFC resumes were the most surprising and which have the most fraudulent resume? We preview the Avalanche and Ducks game tonight at Ball Arena. How will the Avs handle one of the hottest teams in the NHL? Will the Nuggets coast to a win over a bad Kings team tonight? Zach shares his theory as to why Cam Johnson has struggled so much to start this season.
Online game design veteran Raph Koster recently posted a new piece about how he thinks about game design, which got us talking about the history of online multiplayer, so then we figured, why not talk about that subject in a (slightly) more comprehensive way on this podcast? So that's what we did this week, dipping into topics like pre-TCP/IP network gaming, the early video game consoles' various half-baked online solutions, how Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies were both way ahead of their time, how much the infrastructure has evolved for facilitating multiplayer -- and how expected it is as a feature these days -- and plenty more.Koster's new piece: https://www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/game-design-is-simple-actually/PC Gamer's Everquest history: https://www.pcgamer.com/breaking-the-internet-the-story-of-everquest-the-mmo-that-changed-everything/Dreamcast online functionality and Sega.net history (with links to similar pages for PS2, GameCube etc. at the bottom): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast_online_functionality Support the Pod!

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth kick off the third hour going through the 4th quarter recipe for the Broncos and debating whether Bo needs to run more. They lay out the plan for the rest of a lost season for Coach Prime. The guys highlight the performance of the defense, particularly the effort from Kris Abrams-Draine filling in for PS2. Mike, Stoke, and Stink wrap up the third hour taking Stink to task about a peculiar comment he made on the call for Raiders vs Jaguars.
Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley kick off today’s show heaping praise on the Broncos’ young, clutch QB for coming through in winning time once again. The guys address the CJ Stroud concussion, the consequences and the what-ifs, before they highlight how the defense played without PS2. The special teams were not-so-special yesterday in Houston and Sean Payton has officially put the third phase on notice. The guys give Kris Abrams-Draine his flowers for his solid performance with PS2 absent. The guys explain why they're not worried about the Broncos’ performances through many games in light of their 7-2 record as they discuss their expectations.
