Podcasts about PVP

Two shooter betas dropped on the same weekend, so we played both and came back with very different verdicts. WARDOGS is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team tactical shooter with a real money economy — you buy your loadout every respawn, you lose money when you die, and it turns out that changes how a match actually feels. Modern Warfare 4 finally dumps omnimovement, removes bloom from hipfire, and put a campaign mission in the beta for the first time ever. We get into the WARDOGS recon grind and the 5.56 break-action "sniper" that shouldn't exist, the money system and whether it creates real gear fear, three-team fights and whether they actually matter, spawn vehicles as an infinite money glitch, base building and anti-air, and why there is never — not once, not ever — an unoccupied tower. On the CoD side: how the movement feels without omnimovement, no-bloom hipfire on keyboard and mouse, opening-night demon lobbies, whether Warzone and DMZ2 have a chance, and the annual spawns discourse that needs to die. Jake played both. Raz refused to pre-order. Somehow they still ended up disagreeing. 0:00 - Intro 2:26 - How to even get into these betas 2:50 - "I'm not pre-ordering this pile of shit game" 3:23 - Patreon, the FPS lore bonus episode, and the patron hangout 6:09 - Gut check: which beta did we keep loading back into? 6:39 - Jake played the MW4 campaign mission first thing in the morning 8:10 - Opening night of the CoD beta was as sweaty as it gets 11:09 - The WARDOGS recon grind is making the game worse 12:22 - The 5.56 break-action "sniper" that should not exist 13:31 - Two gripes: no free look, and you can't reload while sprinting 15:10 - Recon 10, the Mosin, and a $50,000 unlock 16:41 - There's loot on top of the towers — finding an SV-98 17:44 - What surprised us 18:43 - MW4 movement with no omnimovement 21:48 - So what's actually new in MW4?

Halo: Campaign Evolved is landing with a thud. The game is facing backlash for many of its questionable changes, including doubling down on DEI, lack of PvP multiplayer and a new "girl boss" character. Its Steam numbers are terrible, and the dev is doing damage control with Deadline of all places. The truth is, Halo was dead YEARS before this game was released.

Technically PVP Show Notes Episode 243 - Ion Said That Ion said… "At a high level, we want to serve our PvP community better, but we also need to grow the PvP community in order to justify that, frankly. You know, I think the story of PvP in WoW has been a very passionate core of players that, you know, 20 years ago was larger. The number of people who jumped into battlegrounds, into more casual modes of PvP as a percentage of the overall player base, was much larger back then than it is today. Today, PvP in, you know, particularly in rated forms, can feel very intimidating and can feel hard to get into in terms of the knowledge gap, the gear gap. There's a lot of barriers to entry. And so our focus, with things like training grounds, has been trying to get new people into PvP, trying to build that foundation—like the bottom of the pyramid—so that we can make the whole thing higher and stronger. That's not going to be a process that happens overnight, and I recognize that for players that are focused primarily on that high end of the competitive ecosystem, it can sometimes feel like we're not doing enough. But in the long run, I think for PvP to get the support that we want to give it, we all need to work together to grow that community. And so I think, as we discuss this further, as we get feedback from the community, I'd love to hear ideas and to think together about not just what we can do today to make PvP better for the gladiator-level player, but what we can do to make it easier for people who haven't PvPed seriously in WoW—but love PvP in other games—to get into WoW's PvP." https://www.wowhead.com/news/game-informer-interview-with-ion-hazzikostas-augmentation-evoker-on-damage-382260   Finding Us Podcast Cohosts Technically - https://twitter.com/Technically_PvP  https://bsky.app/profile/technicallypvp.bsky.social https://www.twitch.tv/technically_pvp https://sites.libsyn.com/612975/site https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjIUqJEbWz9Rr9lIFZBe1Mw  https://discord.gg/w7WZ9ab Technicallypvp@gmail.com https://www.patreon.com/cw/TechnicallyPVPPodcast6 Bigmoran - https://twitter.com/BigmoranIRL TreesapJake - https://twitter.com/TreesapJake  https://www.youtube.com/TreesapJake  Skill-Capped Affiliate Link- https://www.skill-capped.com/wow/pricing/plans#technicallypvp

208 – Entrevista a José Manuel ‘Hastur‘ Hoy, Álvaro Loman entrevista a José Manuel “Hastur” centrándose en la idea de como empezó El Rey de las Pasiones, un escenario que mezcla el drama telenovelesco de Pasión de las Pasiones con el imaginario del Rey de Amarillo. La charla arranca con humor, explicando que todo surgió por accidente: a José se le cayó una jugadora clave de su campaña de Los Harapos del Rey y, para no cancelar la sesión, improvisó una partida alternativa. Como ya había dirigido Pasión de las Pasiones varias veces y es un enamorado del mito de Hastur, decidió fusionar ambos mundos. En apenas dos días escribió un borrador completo y lo probó con su grupo habitual, que acogió la idea con entusiasmo. A partir de ahí, el podcast se convierte en un recorrido por el proceso creativo: José cuenta cómo tomó elementos de los escenarios oficiales, los adaptó al tono carcosiano y construyó una telenovela ambientada en Las Brumas Doradas, un balneario misterioso junto a un lago que recuerda a Carcosa. En la serie ficticia han ocurrido desapariciones, reaparecen personas muertas en los espejos y la obra del Rey de Amarillo se ha representado en secreto, desencadenando el drama. La conversación también explora el espíritu del juego: el PvP sano, el melodrama, los giros de guion y la doble capa de interpretación que hace tan especial Pasión de las Pasiones. Repasan varios PNJ del escenario, sus motivaciones y los ganchos narrativos que permiten a los jugadores crear escenas explosivas, llenas de celos, secretos, traiciones y revelaciones sobrenaturales. Entre risas, referencias a Chambers, Lovecraft y Robin D. Laws, y anécdotas de mesa, el episodio muestra cómo un concepto aparentemente absurdo —una telenovela del Rey de Amarillo— se convierte en un escenario sólido, jugable y sorprendentemente coherente. El tono del podcast es cercano, apasionado y muy fan del drama, celebrando tanto el diseño de juegos como la creatividad desbordada que surge cuando un director decide “tirar millas”. El Rey Amarillo La música que se escucha al principio es The Edge de Swoop.

Episode 145 – PVPs for Cats   Cats can be extremely fearful at the Veterinary Clinic and being able to administer medications such as gabapentin before vet visits has been absolutely game-changing for feline practice in the last 10 years or so.   Have a listen as I talk you through PVP options other than gabapentin, what doses I commonly use, and which situations I might use them in. I also talk about a very exciting presentation I listened to from the Veterinary Behaviour Symposium in Seattle this June, on the use of Sileoâ (dexmedetomidine OTM gel) in cats.   Here are the papers I reference in this episode: Van Haaften, K.A., Forsythe, L.R.E., Stelow, E.A. and Bain, M.J., 2017. Effects of a single preappointment dose of gabapentin on signs of stress in cats during transportation and veterinary examination. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 251(10), pp.1175-1181.   Kruszka, M., Graff, E., Medam, T. and Masson, S., 2021. Clinical evaluation of the effects of a single oral dose of gabapentin on fear-based aggressive behaviors in cats during veterinary examinations. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 259(11), pp.1285-1291.   Stevens, B.J., Frantz, E.M., Orlando, J.M., Griffith, E., Harden, L.B., Gruen, M.E. and Sherman, B.L., 2016.

The community is starving for every piece of information on the massive 267 km² desert of Nasdara, but how much is actually confirmed, and how much is speculation? This week on the DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave compile and dissect everything we currently know about the upcoming DayZ Badlands DLC—and highlight the massive question marks that remain.We dive into the intriguing new infrastructure of the map, including the highly-anticipated underground tunnels and the mysterious, war-torn water system where all the common wells are destroyed. We analyze how water scarcity is going to redefine the survival loop, discussing the mechanics of manually searching for and rebuilding water systems versus the threat of player factions locking down these vital spots. What we do know is that survival will be brutal; what we don't know is just how tedious the developers might make the simple act of staying hydrated.Finally, we address the threat of dynamic sandstorms and extreme heat. While weather anomalies are a great concept to break up the pace, we discuss our fears that these sandstorms might be too harsh, occasionally leaving players trapped inside with nothing to do. We pitch a few creative alternatives for Bohemia to consider—such as utilizing sandstorms as tactical cover for stealth or base raids—to make sure the weather is an active, exciting mechanic rather than a boring lobby wait.Step inside the ultimate briefing room for surviving the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Neither the pokemon nor the python.Tragedy! Our beloved assistant the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has be supplanted by a quiz! Our hosts had to find an alternative means to pick the random game for this episode and the selection was an indie bug collecting game from developer Doot! The game is tiny and so are the critters you must collect and battle if you want to win the summer beetle battle championship. But don't get confused, this game was designed to be entirely single player. So that means no PVP, no trading, and apparently also no spiders!

We dive into the freshly added SCR17 rifle, the new Nasdara-themed menu music, and the massive technical shifts as the dev team preps us for the brutal heat of the Badlands DLC. Speaking of expanding the player base, we react to the massive announcement that DayZ is officially making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 this year, breaking down the outsourced port, the lack of crossplay, and whether gyro controls can actually work in a hardcore tactical simulator.Finally, we close out the episode with some massive channel news—Andy and Dave are officially taking over the DayZ Community Spotlight!

Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and today my guest is Vasily Petrenko, the CEO of Another World, a company that offers a solution for opening VR arenas all around the world. Vasili, welcome to the show.  Hello. Thank you for the invitation. Yep.  Yeah, it’s awesome to have you. You’re calling in from Miami, and you just showed me through the window the beautiful weather and the skyline, which is quite impressive. So what’s your story? How did you end up here, on this side of the ocean?  Yeah, thank you for asking. Actually, I started my first business in 2014 with my friends. We were thinking about starting something new, some fresh idea, and we thought about what we could do. At that time, we were writing different scenarios, participating in comedy shows, and searching for different business ideas. We found out that, at that time, classical escape rooms were very popular. We thought, “Wow, it’s entertaining people. It’s something about puzzles.” We were studying at the university at that time, and we were like, “Okay, it’s something scientific.  Make some electronics, puzzles, and so on. You need to think, you need to be smart, you need to be funny.” So it was a perfect match between me, my friends, and the business idea. The thing is, we built our first escape room, and all the money that we collected from our parents and friends—we got back all of the investment in two months. I cannot imagine a business right now where you invest money and get all of that back in two months. The thing is, that’s the main thing that allowed us to evolve in the future: we did not stop at that moment. We decided that we would invest all this money back into the business, and we started searching for new ideas.  First of all, we continued to build the best escape rooms in our city and in our country. Other owners saw that and were like, “Oh, we see your success. We want that too.” So they started calling us, like, “Can you build that business for us in another city?” So from one little business, we opened another one at the same time, which was the B2B solution—opening this type of business for others. Again, we were searching for new ideas, for new products.  Two years later, we thought, “Okay, let’s add a new product: virtual reality.” It wasn’t trending at that moment. The thing is, we hadn’t found anything that would be good for us. We were like, “Wow, this is low quality. We don’t like this.” Basically, there were so many dislikes about everything on the market that we decided we needed to make our own product. It took us about two more years to think about this idea, and in 2018 we came up with the idea of a free-roam virtual reality arenas.Share on X  So I want to correct you a little bit here. In the introduction, you said Another World VR arcades. It’s not exactly arcades. It is virtual reality arenas. And free roam, for those who might not know, means that you don’t have any limitation with wires. So it’s not like playing VR at home, where you put on the headset, sit on the couch, and play. No. Our VR arenas are from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, and the player can explore the whole arena from one corner to another. They can run, they can jump, they can interact with each other, and there can be up to 20 players simultaneously. We started this business in 2018 as an additional product for our escape room owners. It was an additional game for them. But again, over time, more and more of our partners—and we realized this ourselves—decided that this could be a separate business. Not the escape room, but the VR arena could be a business by itself. And we started doing that.  We did a rebranding, and we started providing not only the best games in the world for our partners, but also the design, brand, website, booking system, and all of that.Share on X So basically, we packed our product into the franchise. By now, this year will be the eighth year of the company, and we have 400 signed contracts all around the world in 50 countries. That means our partners either already own and operate our locations or they’re in the process of opening. They’re doing the construction and opening the business, and we’re helping them with that. So yeah, that’s the story.  That’s fantastic. So are you a licensing business, or are you a franchise business? That’s a really good question. Right now, we’re registering the franchise. I know that in some countries there are strict regulations. So today, we’re licensing our technology and games to our partners. But we want to become an official franchise, so we’re working on that right now and preparing everything for it.  That’s super exciting. So let me ask you my favorite question. What is your personal “why,” and how are you manifesting it in this business?  This is a really good question. For anything that you do, for any of your daily tasks, you should ask yourself: “Why am I doing this and not that?” So why will this idea work? It’s a really good question for you to ask yourself all the time. I’m kind of, in this case, a perfectionist. That’s both the good and the bad side of my personality. I’m also into marathons and triathlons. I’ve already done many ultras. So the good side is that I'm very intense when it comes to working hard. I will do everything so that my business succeeds. I will do everything so that I finish this marathon.Share on X  But after I finish the marathon, the next second I’m asking myself, “Where can I be better? Why did I do this or that?” It’s always about balance. It’s not about work-life balance, but even inside your work, you need to find the right balance between good and bad. I’ve been learning that over the past few years, trying to get better at it. So I think that’s the question. But still, asking yourself, “Why am I doing this and not that?” is always important, in my opinion. So your “why” is to always get better?  I would say yes. Well, okay, let me also add to that. To get better—and there’s no ideal—but there is a way to get on that path. So that’s the first thing. The second thing is that your “why” also describes how you feel about what you’re doing. It might be your work, it might be your business, it might be whatever you’re doing. Actually, my graduation was absolutely not about business. I started at the university studying cytology and genetics. So I used to be in molecular biochemistry, biology, and all of that. I was the kind of guy who was doing research for PCR tests. You might be familiar with them from the Covid..  Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Covid era of those PCR tests. So I was developing stuff like that. I know how to do that. I know all of that. But right now I’m in the entertainment business. The thing is that I really like to consider business with a scientific approach. What I mean is that business is also something where you don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. So there are a lot of hypotheses. There are a lot of ideas that you get when you’re brainstorming, alone or with your team. The thing is, first of all, there might be mistakes. There will be mistakes, and that’s absolutely normal.  Like we say in science, a negative result is also a result. So it’s all about experiments. You change one factor, you test one hypothesis, you run the experiment, you see the result, and you make a conclusion from that. If it’s a negative result, okay, don’t do that anymore. If it’s a positive result, okay, how do we scale that and do it better? Again, we might consider that as a “why” question. 342: Why-Who-What-How Management with Vasily PetrenkoShare on X  Yeah. I saw your post about the five things that you learned as an entrepreneur. That was pretty interesting. It kind of shows your scientific way of thinking about business as well. So, talking more about the science of business, this podcast is called The Management Blueprint, and what I’m looking for in every conversation is a framework that you’ve discovered while building your business that you could share with the audience, so they can maybe apply it to their own business. So think of something like three to five steps, or a mental model, or a way of thinking about things. Anything come to mind?  Yeah, actually, as I said, first of all, the scientific approach—and don’t be afraid of mistakes. I think this is mostly for young entrepreneurs. Even right now, my little kids are going to some sports, and sometimes they’re upset if something goes wrong, right? I’m trying to teach them not to be afraid. If something goes wrong, it’s just a way for you to get better. That’s the first thing. The second thing is, when you’re trying to scale, I know it’s also a mistake that many entrepreneurs or managers make.  You always think you know better how to do something, and you’re afraid to let someone else do it. I know that from my own experience. As I said, I’m a perfectionist, and if I see some task, I’m thinking, “Okay, nobody will do that better.” So first of all, try to teach yourself how to delegate. Because without that, you cannot evolve. You cannot scale. If you're doing everything by yourself, you'll be a solo entrepreneur.Share on X  You can do only one thing, and that might be enough for somebody, but you cannot build a big business that way. At some point, I realized that if I hire people and they do those challenges—those tasks that I’m giving them—even if they do them at 70% of my ideal, it will still be okay. Because five of them will do five different challenges. I’ll just check their work, save tons of my time, and give them feedback. Yes, maybe it won’t be 100% ideal in the end, but it will get closer to 80% or 90%, which is already very good. For me, it would take weeks to finish those five challenges by myself. With five different employees, it will be five times faster. Okay. So learning to delegate—that’s important. So what else is in your framework?  About delegation, the other thing I learned is to hire professionals. That’s the next step: hire those people who know better than you. Why would you hire somebody who knows less than you? Hire professionals in their areas so that they can bring value into your company. So that’s the second step after delegation. Again, for me, it’s always about finding a new idea, experimenting, and if it’s a positive result, scaling it. Then back again to a new idea. So it’s always constant loop of coming up with new hypotheses. Again, don’t sit in one place just doing what you’re already doing.  Okay. So experiment and scale what works. That’s great. That’s it? So: delegate, hire people… technicians, I think you called them? Or specialists?  Not only technicians. I mean, it could be in marketing, it could be in sales, it could be in tech… So yeah, there are so many people in my company right now who know better than I do. I don’t know how to set up a CRM system. I don’t know how to set up a Google campaign. I know, in general, some of those things, especially at the beginning when you’re hiring your first people.  You might need to dig a little bit into the area. But after some time, you just need to… I remember there was a movie—I think it was about the financial crisis of 2008—and I remember one scene. The first employee who found the problem was explaining it to his boss with too many parameters, saying, “Oh, we have an apocalypse here. That’s a crash.” His boss was like, “Oh yeah, that’s a crash.” Then his boss went to his manager and explained it in, like, three sentences. Then the top manager explained it to the CEO in two words, and the CEO was like, “Okay, I got it.”  So it’s pretty much the same thing. It’s always like that. I really like that idea of how it’s structured. In our case, again, I don’t know exactly how everything is arranged in the details, but in general, I keep it all in mind.  You see the big picture. You see the big picture, and you can communicate it.  Exactly.  Maybe that’s also another step: grasp and communicate the big picture. From that idea, I just realized one more thing—the environment for your employees, your staff, your partners. It’s really important to give them the proper instruments for how they’re going to work. Actually, you can describe the structure of the company this way: The first employees know how to do things.  The next level asks, “What are we doing?” The CEO asks, “Who is doing that?” So at some point, as the CEO, you’re deciding who will be doing those things. Top managers are thinking about what we’re going to do. Employees are thinking about how to do it and working with the tools. In this case, it’s really important to put all of this into a workable… I don’t know how to describe it… an environment that will be feasible for everybody.  If your company is growing, you need to work on the communication between different departments, between different people, and so on. Because there might be a mistake in the tech department or on the website that doesn’t allow sales or marketing to develop future things, and so on. So you need to give your team the appropriate instruments to work with. As you asked me at the beginning, yes, my team right now is around 70 or 80 people. I don’t know the exact number right now. The thing is, about half of them I don’t know personally.  I haven’t seen them in person, or even online, and they’re in different countries and different cities. So we’re working hard to make sure that, for these tasks, we have this type of CRM system. For this one, we have this type of platform. It might also be different depending on what your team is doing. For the sales department, we have one set of needs. For our tech team, it’s absolutely different. So yeah, that also matters.  Yeah. So I was thinking about what you explained—the who. The person at the top decides who will do it, then the who decides the what, and the what people decide the how. But I would say maybe above the who, you have the why.  Why. Yeah, that’s good. Why are we doing it? So this is about the mission of the company, the initial idea. So this is something, okay, maybe not the CEO. This is something the board of directors, the investors—they’re thinking, “Why are we doing that? Why are we investing our time and money into that?” So that’s absolutely true. That’s absolutely right.  Yeah. Love it. Let me switch gears here. So what drives growth in your particular company, Vasily?  We are family-friendly, so we are spreading joy and fun for people. Actually, this was one of our ideas at the very beginning when we started thinking about VR.Share on X We saw that there were some competitors, and they were doing a pretty similar product. But the thing is, they were selling their franchise for millions of dollars. Moreover, just the equipment they were using to build their arena cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. We looked at that and realized, okay, this type of business is still a business. You need to earn money. Of course, it’s fun to give people joy, but it’s a business, and a business should earn money, right?  We realized that if we made a product like that, then you could open it only in major cities like New York or Los Angeles because only there would you have enough customer traffic, market size, and money for people to get their investment back. So that’s millions of dollars of investment that you would eventually recover from this type of park or arena. We realized that our mission would be to make the same quality product—high-end, immersive virtual reality.  Virtual reality is still something that not many people have even tried, so it still looks futuristic to a lot of people. Our mission is for every kid and every adult in the world to have the opportunity to play this type of experience.Share on X How do we do that? Basically, by opening locations not only in Los Angeles and New York, but also in smaller cities. So we had to find a way for business owners to open our business. Not for millions of dollars, but for tens of thousands, or $100,000 to $200,000. That could be opened in any city—even a small city—with a little arena, a little family entertainment center (FEC), where people come, have fun, celebrate birthday parties, hold corporate events, and spend time together. What still drives us—and I’ll be honest with you—is when we get a new opening.  Just today, I had a call from Vietnam. I had a call from China. People there want to open our locations, and I’m happy about it. Not only because it helps us grow the business. The bigger the market we have, the more games we can develop, and the better we can make our product. But it’s also another point on the map. We can see, “Oh, we’re getting there.” So that’s the first thing—that more people can experience highly immersive, high-end entertainment. The other thing is, from the very beginning, I remember it was my dream that someday we would work with huge companies like Disney and Warner Bros., and develop games based on their IPs.  Just imagine creating a Harry Potter game. That would be a different level, right? That was my dream, and it still is. Only now am I getting closer to those companies and having some negotiations. That’s what drives me personally. That’s what drives us emotionally to wake up every day and do this business—for me, my employees, and everyone else. I don’t know if this question was about that…  I think that’s more of the “why” question that I asked you earlier.  Okay. So that’s the why for the company, and that’s very exciting. You’re basically democratizing this whole experience. You’re bringing it to people in smaller cities, and that’s always a huge idea. I had a client years ago who was in the floor-covering and home-decoration business. That was in Eastern Europe as well—in Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia.  He figured out a way to franchise it to people who didn’t even own real estate, who were just family businesses. He figured out a way to lease them the location and make it a viable franchise in towns with only 10,000 people. He basically cornered the market in that segment. So that’s super exciting. So, Vasily, let me ask you: What’s the one thing that you’re trying to figure out in your business right now? As I said, this big challenge of getting a famous IP… I just came back from Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, and I had a few productive meetings there with some companies. So I see a lot of business opportunities there, but it also makes me feel… I mean, when we make this kind of game, I feel proud. I feel that little Vasily—the little boy inside of me—feels like, “Oh…” If somebody had told me 20 or 25 years ago that I would be making computer games, VR games, and especially a game based on a famous Disney or other IP, I would not have believed it.  And this is what I really love. I mean, for some people it might sound like a dream. For me, it’s still a dream, even though I’m getting closer to it. So that’s my main challenge right now, to be honest. But also, I’m doing a lot of other stuff in the company. So yeah, distribution is another big challenge. Also, new markets. There are pros and cons. We’ve been growing rapidly. It’s great to have 50 countries on the map with our locations.  But just imagine that each country has a different language, mentality, and everything that comes with it. So you need to prepare additional websites, tools, CRM systems, marketing materials, videos, training—everything. It’s crazy. First of all, we need to help our partners in all of those countries grow their businesses. That’s important. Also, when I get calls and requests from new countries and new regions—like Latin America right now—we have a distributor in Latin America, so that’s a new market for us.  Of course, we’re not starting from scratch. We have some background, right? But still, in that particular territory, you need to build the business from zero. So that’s also a challenge. I gave you a few, but those are the things I’m working on every day.  Yeah, that’s fantastic. So what’s something that you would like our listeners to learn about your company, or maybe do and explore around what you’re doing? First of all, Google Another World VR. Find a location in your city or nearby. Come and try our games. Your kids will love them. I know that not all adults are gamers or whatever, so it depends on the person. But everybody should definitely try it. I’ve seen a lot of people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s playing our games multiple times and having a lot of fun. We have PvE games, which means player versus environment, where you’re on one team. For example, you and I are in one squad, and we’re killing zombies or aliens, trying to survive.  We also have PvP games, or player versus player, where we’re on different teams competing against each other. That’s a lot of fun. It’s also very competitive. We also have features like playing against other locations. Just imagine that a location in Toronto, Canada, can play against Atlanta, Georgia. We have a location there. We already have that technical feature, and we’re adding tournaments. So you can participate in tournaments locally and then play internationally. So yeah, first of all, Google our company and try our games.  You’ll love them. As I said, we’re already in 50 countries, so I think you might find a location near you—or one will be opening soon. The other thing is, if you’re a business owner looking for something to invest in, or you’re looking for new ideas, contact me or contact our company, and we’ll show you what our business consists of. Yeah, we have something to offer you. And the last thing: if you’re in the industry and you’re connected to the big players in entertainment—companies like Netflix and others—call me as well.  We’ll find a way to collaborate, cooperate, and make the best game based on those IPs and trademarks, so everybody benefits. The people who want to play our games will have even more fun playing their favorite characters. That’s what it’s all about.  Yeah, that’s amazing. So, Vasily Petrenko, CEO of Another World. Google Another World VR, check out the locations, and try these VR games. I definitely think the wind is in your sails because the younger generations grew up with games. I was on a Commodore 64 when I was a kid, but the younger generations actually grew up with VR games. So it’s going to be a great experience for all of you.

Episode 141 – Why "Gaba/Traz" is not always the best option   This episode was inspired by a lecture I gave at BVA Live 2026 and the ensuing questions and discussion about the use of Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals.   The truth is that while gabapentin and trazodone can be a good PVP combination for some canine patients, it should not be used as a "one size fits all" approach for all dogs requiring anxiolytic support at the veterinary clinic and we should, instead, consider each patient as an individual and tailor their medication regime accordingly.   In this episode I chat about: ·         Cats versus dogs when it comes to PVPs. ·         Why anxiolytic doses of gabapentin can cause vulnerability in canine patients with musculoskeletal disease. ·         Why trial doses at home are imperative. ·         Other options for PVP combinations.     If you are a vet who often reaches for "Gaba/Traz", then this episode is a good nudge to think about patient choices and other PVP options.   If you'd like to read more about these and related topics, our Professional Guides E-Book is a must-read for you : https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook   And, if you'd like to learn more about Veterinary Psychopharmacology, you'll love my PSYCHOACTIVE course: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive   I really hope you find this episode useful!   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

Whenever the developers go live to show off a new update, the chat usually turns into a battlefield. This week on the DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave discuss why Bohemia Interactive often gets a bad rap for their official livestreams, and we offer some highly practical solutions to elevate their production value and repair community relations.We dissect the technical and structural flaws of the current broadcasts and pitch our blueprint for a massive upgrade. First, we argue for a dedicated, controlled development area instead of the devs pretending to play on a live public server where chaos and stream-snipers derail the presentation. We talk about basic production essentials, like making sure to actually mic up the guests properly so the community can hear the vital information being shared.We also tackle the Q&A format, suggesting a shift toward pre-submitted questions from the community to filter out the noise and focus on real development answers. Finally, we discuss splitting the content entirely: creating separate streams for high-level feature showcases designed for casual players, versus deep-dive technical streams focused on source code, modding tools, and engine optimization for the creators.Welcome to the ultimate digital sanctuary for players fighting to survive the apocalypse. Our channel is built to provide deep analytical breakdowns, tactical advice, and community insights for the world's most unforgiving survival game. Whether you are a brand new fresh spawn trying to figure out how to navigate with a DayZ beginner guide, or a seasoned veteran player looking for competitive PVP tips, base building mechanics, or the latest DayZ news, we've got you covered.What we offer the community:

One of the most unique gameplay styles in Star Citizen is PvP bounty hunting. But there's more nuance to it than you might think, and a lot that can be done to improve how players adventure throughout Star Citizen. Today, I'm joined by Lofty to discuss bounty hunting, the tools used to do it, and how those tools affect everybody playing the game.Today's Guests: Lofty_o7YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Lofty_o7Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpiPXCO7OVJOlBIclW9tbpb2g29gur3ISupport This Podcast:Patreon Paypal Ko-FiFollow Space Tomato on social media:Website  Youtube  My Other YoutubeInstagram Twitter Facebook Discord

Does DayZ actually know what it wants to be? This week on the DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave tackle a massive philosophical question: Is DayZ suffering from a permanent identity crisis? We pull apart the "Two Games" dilemma, examining how the community has completely fractured the player base. Bohemia continues to build a punishing, hardcore survival sim, yet the most heavily populated community servers strip those mechanics away entirely in favor of infinite stamina and high-tier loot.We dive into the gameplay metagame contradiction. On paper, the developers punish you with realistic weapon weight and heavy character inertia. In reality, top-tier PVP often looks like a frantic, arcade-style twitch shooter. We expose the glaring lack of endgame and how current mechanics fail to support the developers' vision, leaving players fundamentally confused. If survival and base protection are the goals, why are permanent homes such a pain to build and maintain? Why are we left with basic stashes and tents that just don't fit the grand vision?Finally, we look at the maps. From the temperate forests of Chernarus and the lush wetlands of Livonia, to the freezing winter of Sakhal and now the sun-scorched, war-torn desert of Nasdara in the upcoming Badlands DLC—we've gone from extreme cold to extreme heat. Is this a brilliant evolution of environmental survival, or a lack of clear direction from a dev team moving away from what made Chernarus a masterpiece? We close out by asking: Is having an identity crisis actually the most "DayZ" thing possible? Is it just a massive, beautiful social experiment?Step into the ultimate community hub for survivors navigating the post-apocalyptic wastes. This channel is entirely focused on analyzing the mechanics, updates, and deep psychological choices that define the world's most intense survival game. Whether you're a fresh-faced fresh spawn searching for an essential DayZ beginner guide to survive your first night, or a veteran player looking for elite PVP breakdowns, base building strategies, or critical analysis of breaking DayZ news, you've found your home.What we deliver every week:

The hype train for DayZ's upcoming desert expansion is officially moving, but is Bohemia Interactive on track or headed for a derailment? This week, Andy and Dave dive into the upcoming DayZ Badlands DLC and focus entirely on how BI needs to engage with content creators and the community to make this launch a success.We look back at the Frostline release on Sakhal to analyze what worked and what didn't. Are the developers at risk of making the classic mistake of overhyping the terrain too early, leaving players burnt out by the time we actually get to drop into Nasdara? We debate the best ways to keep the community engaged without spoiling the mystery of the new map's extreme heat mechanics and scarce water resources.We also tackle the controversial topic of key distribution. Instead of just handing early access keys exclusively to massive streamers, we pitch a better alternative: Could an in-game, cross-platform treasure hunt be a fairer, more exciting way to distribute beta keys to the wider community? From marketing strategies to creator engagement, we break down exactly how BI can ensure the biggest map in official DayZ history gets the launch it deserves.Welcome to your central hub for everything related to the unforgiving universe of DayZ. We are here to guide you through the shifting metas, tactics, and survival strategies required to stay alive.

Why does it feel like major DayZ updates are arriving with more game-breaking bugs than actual features? This week on the DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave take an analytical look at the DayZ Experimental branch. We explore the fundamental reason this testing ground exists and ask the difficult questions: Is Bohemia Interactive actually using it to its full potential, or has it just become a glorified preview build?We pull back the curtain on the software development pipeline to look at why BI keeps pushing versions to the stable branch without thorough UAT (User Acceptance Testing). Pulling from our own professional backgrounds—Andy's expertise in IT systems and infrastructure, and Dave's real-world experience in automotive quality and car testing—we break down where the QA process is fundamentally failing. From the recent 1.29 crossplay hacker exploits to vanishing inventory items, we examine the real-world implications these oversight failures have on the player community.Finally, we brainstorm how Bohemia can make Experimental great again. We discuss how to gamify the bug-hunting process, the types of incentives (like exclusive cosmetics or community recognition) that would actually get veterans to stress-test the builds, and how proper feedback loops could save Chernarus from the next broken patch.This channel is your ultimate command center for everything happening in the brutal world of DayZ. Our goal is to break down the mechanics, strategies, and updates that define this hardcore survival game.

We played a special live episode of Dragon Games on stage at TwitchCon 2025—and after a brutal tech fail, we salvaged what we could with the original stage audio plus photos (and a little bonus phone footage at the end). It's a PvP arena showdown where the audience rolls for random effects… and things get wild fast.Dragon Games is a live Dungeons & Dragons TTRPG competition. Players are placed in a fictional arena and pitted against each other in gladiatorial-style entertainment for the crowd. It's a mix of a Competition Reality Show with the Roman Colosseum and the Hunger Games, set in the D&D world with 5e gameplay mechanics.

This week on the DayZ Podcast, we are joined by a true legend of the community: Ceremor! If you've been around the wasteland for a while, you know him for his unpredictable, chaotic, and brilliant approach to the game.We take a trip down memory lane to discuss his first interactions with the original Arma 2 DayZ Mod and get his unfiltered thoughts on the state of the game today. Ceremor doesn't hold back as we dive into his deep dislike for base building and why he thinks the mechanics have shifted the game away from its true survival roots. Plus, we get a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the origin of his famous in-game persona—how it started, what inspired it, and how he uses it to strike fear into other survivors.To wrap it all up, Ceremor delivers an essential "Just the Tip" survival nugget and helps us break down our choice for Video of the Week!Ceremor Links:https://www.twitch.tv/ceremorhttps://blog.naver.com/thomasgoldand5ninja/120189634285If you live and breathe DayZ, you've found your new home.

Demetrick, Dr. Corey Petty, and Jesse are joined by founder and investor Joe for a conversation that cuts through sixteen years of crypto noise with one provocative thesis: crypto is only about trading.Joe walks the guys through all five hype cycles, from Silk Road to Mt. Gox to the 2017 ICO mania to NFTs to today, and shows how the top of every cycle has been defined by a single dominant trading narrative. Everything else, he argues, is undercurrent. The conversation traces how he arrived at this conclusion after the chaos of ETHDenver 2023 sent him back to first principles, including the poker code buried in the original Bitcoin commit.From there the guys get into where the next hype cycle is forming. Joe demos a tap trading app he is building that strips away every chart, button, and knob until trading feels closer to a mobile game than a Bloomberg terminal. Green for good, red for bad, prediction markets baked in. The crew riffs on PVP tournaments, head to head trading streams on Twitch and Kick, and why apps optimized for volatility win when traditional markets get quiet.Plus: Anatoly's legendary bag working of Hyperliquid on Solana, why a normal person will never love a candlestick chart, and Corey announces he is winding down Archivist and open sourcing the IP.Drop questions in the YouTube comments.

The latest Sea of Thieves update introduces Last Ship Standing, an intense six-Sloop battle royale mode in the Sea of the Damned featuring shrinking boundaries, custom arena environments, and placement-based Allegiance rewards. Alongside this major PvP addition, the developers have addressed player feedback by replacing the blinding red edge-of-map effects with a cleaner greyscale tint, doubling Reaper's Chest rewards to 20 Doubloons, and moving Duke and Larinna's markets back to a monthly restocking cadence to better match player earning rates. The patch also delivers essential game health improvements, resolving item desynchronization bugs in supply barrels and officially clearing out a glitch that accidentally spawned a prototype "Silence Ball" cursed cannonball across the outpost islands.

This week Jamal is joined by special guest host Agent X as Chris is out this week, and the timing could not have been crazier. Just hours before recording, Niantic dropped a massive new Wayfinder rating system announcement that could completely reshape the future of reviewing, submissions, contributor rewards, and Wayfarer progression. Joining the roundtable are community members JQN, Keller, and Winston representing longtime Ingress veterans, newer Wayfarers, rural players, PvP grinders, and everyday contributors whose voices aren't always heard in the larger Wayfarer conversation. The crew dives deep into: the current state of Wayfarer, how the platform has evolved since OPR and Recon, misconceptions about bans and reviewing, S2 cells and map strategy, rural gameplay challenges, the loss of Recon in Ingress, and what motivates people to keep building the map years later. The conversation also gets surprisingly philosophical with debates about natural features, waterfalls, eligibility logic, reviewer behavior, and whether Wayfarer finally feels like it's moving in the right direction again after years of uncertainty.

In this episode of Community Chronicles, Andy and Dave dive into another batch of wild, heartfelt, and downright unbelievable stories sent in by our listeners. We kick things off with Rakan's surreal dream about a wolf — a tale that somehow manages to be equal parts ominous and hilarious. From there, we move into the gritty reality of DayZ life: safe‑zone campers causing chaos, spouses accidentally (or “accidentally”) team‑killing each other, and the kind of betrayals only this game can inspire.Toma also shares a wholesome twist, recounting his unexpected encounter with a group of new German players. What starts as a tense moment quickly turns into a genuine cross‑language friendship — the kind of human connection that makes DayZ special. We round things out with stories from MrYes and SockSuck, each bringing their own flavour of madness, misfortune, and memorable survivor moments.Whether you're here for the drama, the laughs, or the strangely poetic beauty of DayZ's player‑driven chaos, this episode captures the full spectrum of what makes the community so incredible.OUR CHANNEL'S MISSIONWelcome to the essential channel for all things DayZ!

The 1.29 update promised us a smoother, more stable Chernarus, but it has arrived with a laundry list of new issues that are testing the patience of even the most hardcore survivors. This week, Andy and Dave break down the "DayZ 1.29 Bug List" and discuss the serious implications for the game's future.We dive into the technical glitches currently plaguing the wasteland, including items mysteriously disappearing when swapped in inventories, bright "blinding" loading screens, and audio bugs where gunshot ranges aren't matching up. More importantly, we address the community's biggest outcry: the "Play Anywhere" crossplay exploit. We discuss how PC players are bypassing security to invade Xbox servers, bringing a level of hacking to console that we haven't seen since the early days of the mod.What are the developers at Bohemia Interactive doing to fix this? We look at the latest updates from the team, including the decision to cancel the immediate hotfix in favor of a longer testing period on the Experimental branch. We discuss the fallout of this decision—can the community survive a few more weeks of hacker-filled official servers, or has this update done permanent damage to the console player base?Welcome to the essential channel for all things DayZ!

Most premium games are treated like opening-weekend businesses: if they do not spike, studios cut losses and move on. This episode challenges that instinct. Alexandra Takei, VP of Platform Revenue at Medal, sits down with Ian Fielding, CEO of Super Evil Megacorp, to discuss how studios can build durable premium games, manage back catalogs, and survive as independent AA companies in a market that increasingly punishes the middle.The conversation traces SEMC's evolution from Vainglory and Catalyst Black to its current cross-platform, IP-driven chapter with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate and Bloodline. Ian explains why SEMC moved away from large-scale PvP free-to-play, how it operates a fully remote mid-size studio across multiple live titles, and why proprietary tech still gives the company an edge. The core case study is TMNT: Splintered Fate, which has grown years after launch through disciplined platform expansion, meaningful DLC, free updates, cross-play, bundles, and smart use of licensed IP. The episode ultimately explores a harder question: what does it take for an independent, multi-project studio to keep games alive, grow audience over time, and avoid betting the company on one giant moonshot?We'd like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!

In 2022 and 2023, the community was buzzing with news that a DayZ movie was officially in development. Two British production companies had secured the rights, and scripts were being pitched—but since then, it's been radio silence. This week, Andy and Dave go on a search for the "missing" DayZ film. Did it get stuck in development hell, or was it quietly shelved in favor of other projects? We also take a creative turn and ask the big question: If we were the directors, how would we make a DayZ movie? Is it even possible to capture the true essence of Chernarus in a 90-minute runtime? We discuss potential plotlines—from a gritty, dialogue-heavy survival story about two strangers forced to work together, to a high-octane ensemble piece focused on a squad raid.Should the movie focus on the origin of the virus, or should it do what the game does best and just drop us into the chaos with zero explanation? We explore the unique challenges of adapting a game where the "story" is entirely player-driven and why most zombie movies fail to capture that specific DayZ feeling of dread and social tension.Welcome to the essential channel for all things DayZ! We create content for anyone who loves the hardcore survival game, from fresh spawn newbies looking for a DayZ beginner guide to veteran players hungry for high-tier PVP, base building strategy, and insightful DayZ news and discussions on our DayZ podcast.Our two content pillars:

Set in an alternative Age of Piracy, this title blends survival-crafting, open-world exploration across land and sea, Soulslite combat, naval ship command, and optional co-op multiplayer for up to 8 players.In this segment, Analytic Dreamz covers the core gameplay loop: build and craft bases with multiple architectural styles, explore 3 biomes with around 30 procedural islands and 90+ hand-crafted points of interest, command one of 3 playable ships in arcade-style naval combat that seamlessly transitions to boarding and melee, and engage in stamina-based Soulslite fights against wildlife, undead, rival pirates, and bosses. Progression includes character stats, talent trees, ship upgrades, and buff systems from food and potions, all without item durability for enhanced quality of life.Analytic Dreamz examines the explosive launch metrics: over 1 million copies sold in approximately 5-6 days, day-one peaks near 69,000 concurrent players, an all-time high of 222,134, and sustained counts above 60,000-100,000. The game achieved Very Positive Steam reviews around 88-90%, strong pre-launch momentum with 1M+ wishlists, and favorable comparisons to Valheim and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag as the pirate survival experience fans have been waiting for. Early Access currently features a central hub in Tortuga, faction reputation, NPC workers, dedicated or self-hosted servers, and full solo playability, with developers actively addressing co-op connectivity and balance through hotfixes.This in-depth analysis explores Windrose's hybrid procedural and hand-crafted world, development pivot from a PvP-focused concept, technical performance, community reception, and future roadmap spanning 1.5-2.5 years with significant content expansion planned. Analytic Dreamz delivers a comprehensive, no-nonsense look at why this debut title from a 60-person studio has captured massive attention in the survival genre.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
