Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! Gaming hardware used to get cheaper as it aged, but those days seem to be over. This week, Trev and Stu discuss Valve’s surprise Steam Deck price hike, debate whether gaming is becoming more expensive, and explore how changing buying habits could shape the future of consoles and PC gaming. Valve shocks gamers with major Steam Deck OLED price increases. Does the Steam Deck still offer good value, or have rivals overtaken it? Comparing the Steam Deck against the Lenovo Legion Go S and ROG Ally. Why modern consoles and handhelds are getting more expensive instead of cheaper. A look back at the PS2, Nintendo 64 and the era of dramatic hardware price cuts. Is gaming really more expensive today, or are we getting more value from longer-lasting hardware? Budget PCs, second-hand components and why more players may be moving away from traditional consoles. Predictions for the Steam Machine, PS6 and the future cost of gaming hardware. Check out Trev and Al’s other podcast where they reminisce about different episodes of the Star Trek franchise! : https://longrangesensors.com/episodes Intro/Outro Music – Title Theme – Pinball Dreams (1992) – Commodore Amiga – Composer(s): Olof Gustafsson
En este nuevo episodio del especial por el 40 aniversario de The Legend of Zelda, nos alejamos de Hyrule para despertar en la misteriosa isla de Koholint. Repasamos en profundidad The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, el clásico de Game Boy publicado en 1993, una de las entregas más especiales, extrañas y melancólicas de toda la saga. Hablamos de sus antecedentes, desarrollo, diseño de mundo, mazmorras, personajes, jefes, historia, lore, banda sonora y legado. También dedicamos espacio a Link's Awakening DX para Game Boy Color, con sus novedades, el uso del color y la Mazmorra del Color; y al remake de Nintendo Switch de 2019, su preciosa estética de diorama, sus mejoras jugables, su recepción y el añadido de las Chamber Dungeons. Un programa para celebrar uno de los Zelda más queridos y diferentes: una aventura sin Hyrule, sin Ganon y sin Trifuerza, pero con una identidad inolvidable. ¿Fue Koholint solo un sueño? Puede ser. Pero en la memoria de los jugadores, nunca ha desaparecido.

John is closing in on the finale of Valkyrie Profile, while Ryan celebrates completing Saros and shares thoughts on its final stretch. The conversation shifts to community sentiment as Xbox players voice a growing desire for a revival of Banjo Kazooie. The guys break down why the franchise still resonates and whether Microsoft might finally listen. From there, the episode takes a sharp turn into hardware drama. Lenovo has pulled a handheld device that shipped preloaded with Nintendo and Sega games, raising questions about licensing, oversight, and how something like this makes it to market. The Steam Deck also enters the spotlight after a major price hike that has players debating value, timing, and Valve's long‑term strategy.

To wrap up the show, the Inflation Deflation Challenge features a retro review of Woody Woodpecker: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park on the PS2. The guys revisit its chaotic platforming, oddball charm, and current market value to decide whether it still holds up.

Read transcriptAt some point in the early 2000s, someone looked at the Dragon Ball Z manga and anime, a story full of screaming men who power up for entire episodes, hair that defies physics, and villains who monologue long enough for the protagonist to reach a new power level, and said, “Yes. This. But make it a fighting game. On two, and only two, consoles.” And thus, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 arrived on PS2 and GameCube, ready to let you spend an unreasonable amount of time unlocking characters and pretending you know what a Fusion Dance is supposed to look like in real life. This episode, we're going Super Saiyan on the whole thing. The game, the manga, the anime, the drama, the capsules, the questionable story mode decisions. All of it. And joining us to power up the conversation is Russell Moran from Kaiju ComiCast, who brings exactly the kind of kaiju-sized enthusiasm this franchise demands. So take a deep breath, squeeze out every last drop of ki you've got, and let's get into it. Your hair may or may not turn gold by the end. No promises. Learn such things as: What's worse than taking a risk and totally failing? What's keeping us from getting the epic Toriyama Universe fighting crossover event that we all want to badly? Can you really say that the roster has 50 different characters when 10 of them are different versions of the same dude? And so much more! You can find Russell on BlueSky @kaijucomiccast, Instagram @kaijucomiccast, and of course at his podcast Kaiju ComiCast.

BrainDrain Skateboarding show with Toby Batchelor and Forde Brookfield
Brain Drain Episode 72 with Forde Brookfield & Toby Batchelor
This week's episode is all about my continued love affair with Stardew Valley, with a little bit of Forza Horizon 6 on the side.
Read transcriptIf you've ever wondered what would happen if professional wrestling, superhero nonsense, and a generous helping of “did they really just do that?” collided in a PS2-era video game, congratulations you've found your people. This episode dives headfirst into Galactic Wrestling Featuring Ultimate Muscle, a game that asks the important questions, like how many absurdly named wrestlers can fit into one ring and whether flexing harder is a legitimate combat strategy (it is). Along the way, we're joined by Josh “Anoriand” Fagundes. Yes, that Anoriand from Twitch. He brings his streaming-honed wisdom and an appreciation for delightful chaos. Between the manga roots, anime flair, and a game that absolutely commits to the bit, there's plenty to grapple with here. So lace up your boots, oil up your… everything, and get ready for a match that's less about winning and more about how spectacularly weird the journey can get. Learn such things as: How do you make a sequel to a game and not have it on the same console? What happens when the humor and moral values of such different societies don't really match up? Does this game have anything surprisingly good in it, and does it even matter if it does? And so much more! You can find Anoriand on Bluesky @anoriand, TikTok @anoriand, YouTube @AnoriandGD, and Twitch @anoriand. And he was on Super Deluxe GamesCast but as this is getting published, it was announced a few days ago that they're changing the name to Maximum Hearts and I want to make sure that this horrible timing is saved for prosperity.

This week, we return with The Mummy Returns! Chris hates it. Rob kind of loves its PS2 looking ass graphics. We've only done “bad” Brendan Fraser films at this point.

Ancient Anubis artifact antagonizes archeologists, always awaiting, awfully archaic, also arachnids! Scorpions are spiders! CG-Aye-Aye-Aye! Non-flesh Imhotep! Jock rockin' Rob!

Steggles & Gooch, Attorneys at Law, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made! www.theworstmovieevermade.com
This week's episode is all about Stardew Valley and how it's become my surprising comfort game while I go through a difficult time in my real life.
What if one of the most promising frontiers in Alzheimer's research isn't just about what's building up in the brain - but how the brain clears it out? In this episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal sits down with Dr. Tirth Patel, a neurologist and physician-scientist at UCLA and 2025 Toffler Scholar, to explore the cutting-edge science of brain clearance, tau protein, and the newly discovered lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain.This is a conversation about curiosity, persistence, and the kind of early-career science that could reshape how we understand and treat dementia.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat tau protein is, why it "gunks up" the brain, and how it differs from amyloid beta in Alzheimer's diseaseThe recently discovered lymphatic vessels in the brain's meninges - and why they matter for clearing toxic proteinsHow sleep deprivation spikes tau and amyloid levels in the blood, and what that means for long-term brain healthThe glymphatic system: the brain's internal waste-clearance highway and its deep connection to sleepWhy aging slows down the brain's lymphatic drainage - and what researchers are doing about itThe genetics of Alzheimer's: the difference between causative mutations (APP, PS1, PS2) and risk factors like APOE4New FDA-approved blood tests and the promise of tau PET scans for better diagnosis and stagingThe latest treatments for Alzheimer's - how they work, their limitations, and what's coming nextWhy failure is one of the most undervalued tools in science - and what's missing in how the field handles negative dataA candid take on AI in biological research: where it helps, where it falls short, and whether it lets scientists failAbout Our GuestDr. Tirth Patel is a neurologist and physician-scientist at UCLA, currently working in the lab of Dr. Jason Hinman. His research focuses on how the brain's meningeal lymphatic vessels clear tau protein from the brain to the bloodstream - a question with major implications for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Dr. Patel is a 2025 Toffler Scholar, supported by the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust. He is also the co-host of the podcast Recreational Science, where he and his colleague Dr. Lou Yang explore wacky but well-designed scientific studies to illuminate the scientific method.
En este episodio de GeekastVG hablamos sobre la legendaria guerra de consolas de la sexta generación: Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube y Xbox.Analizamos cómo la PS2 se convirtió en la consola más vendida de la historia con más de 155 millones de unidades, el fin de Sega como fabricante de hardware tras la caída de Dreamcast y cómo Microsoft revolucionó el gaming online con Xbox Live.También discutimos:
Read transcriptSomewhere in the mid-2000s, a group of developers looked at the Justice League and said, “What if we made a game where all your favorite heroes team up… and then we just kinda vibed with that idea instead of sticking to any specific comic storyline?” Which kind of works actually because they got Dwayne McDuffie to write it but that's not the point. So anyway, Justice League Heroes burst onto the scene for PS2, Xbox, PSP, and Nintendo DS like a Watchtower alarm that nobody remembers installing. This week on Play Comics, we grab our capes, charge up our vaguely canon-adjacent superpowers, and dive into a game that absolutely has Batman, Superman, and friends… ummm, friends are definitely there I promise and sometimes they have to be there because of contractual obligations. And sometimes even the best version of those friends if you're lucky and the best version of that hero had been invented already. Joining the adventure is Gavin Mevius from The Mixed Reviews and The Q Division, bringing along just the right blend of insight, chaos, and “wait, was that ever a comic plot?” energy to help us make sense of it all. So get ready for teamwork, button mashing, and a Justice League game that is just kind of meh, especially considering the story that it had to work with. Learn such things as: When you can have Justice League adventures without Batman or Superman Why you don't need a 100% comic plot line to have a good comic plot line. What the world was like before micro transactions got involved with everything And so much more! You can find Gavin on BlueSky @shhhitsgavin, Instagram @gavinmev, and of course on his podcasts The Mixed Reviews (a monthly film review show taking a deep dive into a subject, actor, director, or something else along those lines) and The Q Division (a monthly deep dive into James Bond). 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.

Want to be featured on the next Q&Andy? Send us a video on our socials or email us at askandy@servedmediagroup.com Andy Roddick dives into all things tennis rackets. He breaks down the racket and string tech that shaped his career and changed the modern game. Andy explains why he trusted his stringing team with almost complete control and what really changed when Roger Federer made his famous racket switch, including why Rafael Nadal called Federer's 2018 version the toughest he ever faced. He also gets into string tension strategy across different surfaces and weather conditions, reveals that James Blake secretly used Dunlop rackets inside a Prince bag for years, and argues that strings, not rackets, have been the biggest revolution in modern tennis power. Andy then reacts to his brutally accurate PS2 ratings in Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2, where the game nailed his serve and roasted almost everything else.

This week's episode is all about Mixtape, a game I really liked and almost loved because of a shared love of music. What holds it back is the fact that as a game, there's just not much going on, but if that doesn't bother you, you may end up having a wonderful time as one of yesterday's heroes.

Buckle up for a PS2 heist where Lupin III swaps manga mischief for blocky stealth antics in Treasure of the Sorcerer King, that 2004 gem channeling Monkey Punch's rogue into disguises-gone-wrong and treasure hunts that test more patience than finesse. Joining the vault-cracking crew this time is Robbie Sherman from Conversations with Robbie Sherman, dishing on how the game stacks up to the source chaos of Jigen's aim, Goemon's blade ballet, and Fujiko's inevitable backstab. So grab your best disguise and let's see if you can sneak the treasure out of this one. Either way it's going to be a blast. Learn such things as: When does homage become IP theft? Does it ever work to retcon multiple unrelated characters into a single one and act like it's not weird at all? Do you really need those side characters? Can't we just get rid of all of them and follow the main character exclusively? And so much more! You can Robbie on BlueSky @convoswrob and his podcast Conversations with Robbie Sherman.

Read transcriptSometimes a game says it's based on a comic. Sometimes a movie says it's based on a comic. And sometimes a game says it's based on that movie that says it's based on a comic, and suddenly we're three layers deep in adaptation lasagna. This week, we're cracking open Over the Hedge for the PS2, GameCube, and Xbox—a game that definitely follows the movie's lead and only politely waves at the original comic strip from across the yard. Expect sneaking, snacking, and more suburban chaos than your average HOA meeting can handle. Joining the show is Doug Fink (Walloping Web Snappers, Falling with Style, Novel Gaming, and Skreeonk) to help sort out what happens when animals, energy drinks, and licensed games collide in one very busy backyard. Grab your energy drinks and questionable life choices. I hope you don't get pinched by the exterminator. Learn such things as: Is the key to all of this the friends you bring along the way? Are humans and urban sprawl the real villains here? Do you actually need to base a game on a thing to have it be based on the thing? And so much more! You can find Doug on BlueSky @ickybooley and of course all of his wonderful shows on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective, Walloping Websnappers, Novel Gaming, Falling with Style, and Skreeonk.

The crew is back for Episode 341 with a massive life update—someone is officially off the market! We kick things off with a high-stakes bedtime debate before diving into a truly bizarre Florida Man story involving a local restaurant parking lot. Plus, the 2000s Comedy Movie Bracket reaches a breaking point as we pit legendary cult classics against box office giants. Who survives the cut? We also share a game-changing AI hack for parents, settle some movie trivia, and rank the absolute best PS2 games ever made.
Things are quiet recently. It feels like we're waiting for something to pop-off; some new announcements, or tantalizing rumors, or whatever. We have a little of that this week, though -- perhaps as usual -- it's good news mixed-up with a few questionable items. Let's start with PS5 sales, which picked up substantially in the days leading up to the hardware's global price increase. We then move into the surreptitious release of once-hidden Grand Theft Auto Online numbers, which shows a game still making around $10 million a week, with around two-thirds of its playerbase on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Then, we get into first and second party fare: More details about the unannounced (but heavily rumored) Faye-driven God of War spinoff, casting and performance capture details for Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT, word of a Bloodborne animated feature in the works, and a Metal Gear Solid film, too, both being steered by Sony Pictures. And did Insomniac's Spider-Man 3 get leaked, too? Inquiries from the audience help us round things out, as always. Why is PlayStation 2 Colin's least-favorite Sony console? Is there room for the point-and-click adventure genre in modern gaming? Will Xbox really go back down the path of exclusivity? Can we act as an effective billboard for a listener's pregnancy announcement?
