We have an insight-packed and hopeful discussion with Owen Mahoney, CEO of Maplestory's Nexon. This Choplifter fan went on to acquire JAMDAT and DICE for EA, then saw the future with Embark. We discuss forever games, where stories come from and the huge growth coming - this week!TIMESTAMPS[0:00:00] Intro: Owen Mahoney[0:10:22] Medium shifts favor beginnersOwen explains why every major technology shift benefits newcomers.[0:19:33] An “unusual background”Owen describes his and Nexon's “unusual backgrounds,” and how they got started. [0:33:23] Most pitches are a product problem, not a marketing problem "90% of the deals that I looked at to build a game... look very similar to something that was already out there in the market. So a lot of what people are calling a marketing problem are in fact a product problem."[0:42:37] Tried to buy Nexon three times at EAOwen reveals he tried to acquire Nexon three times while at EA, and eventually ended up joining them as CFO instead — including nearly landing Riot Games before being outbid by Tencent.[0:48:23] The "forever franchise" thesis behind EmbarkOwen explains the concept of "forever franchises" — games that don't have to peak and decline — and how that philosophy was central to their success and investments.[0:52:55] The industry inverts good game developmentOwen argues that big-budget game development is built backwards: studios front-load expensive art to get green-lights, while leaving the actual "find the fun" iteration — the most important part — until the end.[1:04:11] New technology always creates new kinds of game makersOwen's closing argument on the industry's future: "Every generation comes with its new set of innovators."[1:08:40] Outro: Wrapping UpSupport the showThank you for listening to our podcast all about videogames and the amazing people who bring them to life!Hosted by Alexander Seropian and Aaron MarroquinFind us at www.thefourthcurtain.comJoin our Patreon for early, ad-free episodes plus bonus content at https://patreon.com/FourthCurtainCome join the conversation at https://discord.gg/KWeGE4xHfeVideos available at https://www.youtube.com/@thefourthcurtainFollow us on Twitter: @fourthcurtainEdited and mastered at https://noise-floor.comAudio Editor: Bryen HensleyVideo Editor: Sarkis GrigorianProducer: Kimya TaheriArt: Paul RusselCommunity Manager: Doug ZartmanFeaturing Liberation by 505

If you’re using cherry/grape tomatoes, slice in halfor quarters Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. Grate the garlic clove over the tomatoes or chop fine. Pour the olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the salt. Stir to combine – I like to smoosh the tomatoes down a bit to release some juice, and then add the basil. Add pepper if you like.

This weekend's Buccaneer Days in Esquimalt will go ahead without its signature parade, days after Oak Bay Tea Party announced they'd also forgo theirs. So why are local parades struggling? We'll hear from event organizers on how new safety regulations, a lack of consistent funding, and a dip in volunteers could be factors.
With both the Sydney Swans and the Melbourne Demons sitting in the top 4 this clashed promised plenty. It certainly lived up to the hype with both teams cracking the 100 and scoring freely to get the highlight reel ticking over.
Episode 275 kicks off with Tony raw dogging the podcast (coffeelessly), a packed summer gig schedule, and a new song on the way. Then Mike and Tony take us on a tour of history's most unhinged verified moments — Napoleon getting mobbed by domesticated rabbits, London's 1858 Great Stink shutting down Parliament, a Kentucky meat shower courtesy of vomiting vultures, 13 Dublin legends dying from drinking burning gutter whiskey, and a French freak show performer who swallowed live kittens and still couldn't get full. Plus: the Tanganyika laughter epidemic, Tycho Brahe's golden nose and his drunk moose, and a deep spiral into toilet plume science, diarrhea statistics, and the Mr. Sketch marker-to-Sharpie huffing pipeline. We close out with a round of spicy Would You Rathers that get deeply, unnecessarily personal.Cheers! m&t
Episode 103: Raining Fire After a six-month hiatus, we're finally back! Let's just catch up and getting our feet wet again! We've got new ideas and new segments coming. We review those and let you know what new random stuff is on its way! In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2019 Chinese disaster flick, Skyfire! I bet you didn't know it was a remake of a 1980 movie starring Paul Newman, did you? Yeah. Neither did we. Probably should have made un-remaked. And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens. We'll be going to a bi-monthly schedule, so we'll see you in two weeks! Thanks for listening, and make sure to give us a 5-star review on your favorite podcasting service!

This podcast episode is hosted by Mart Tšernjuk, the Taiwan Coordinator at the University of Tartu Asia who is talking to Prof. Robert Chen, a leading scholar of Taiwanese cinema, discussing the relationship between film, history, and identity in Taiwan. Drawing on Chen's teaching experience at the University of Tartu, he highlights how Estonian students engage deeply with Taiwanese films, particularly due to shared historical experiences of colonisation and political repression. This common ground allows students to connect emotionally with themes such as trauma and national identity, especially in films addressing the White Terror period. Chen emphasises that understanding Taiwan's cinema requires strong historical awareness, as film history closely mirrors Taiwan's broader political and social development. Unlike other East Asian film industries, Taiwan's cinematic identity is shaped by its complex colonial past, multicultural society, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Language also plays a crucial role, reflecting shifts in identity from a China-centred perspective toward a distinctly Taiwanese consciousness. Aesthetically, Taiwanese cinema, especially the New Cinema movement, is characterised by realism, long takes, and a contemplative style that resonates globally. Directors like Hou Hsiao-Hsien create stories with universal themes, allowing international audiences to relate to Taiwanese experiences. Chen also discusses King Hu's films, which blend action with Buddhist philosophy, emphasising harmony with nature and the concept of emptiness. In contrast, films about the White Terror demonstrate how cinema helps process collective trauma and educate younger generations. While earlier films treated these topics with gravity, newer filmmakers approach them more lightly, making them more accessible. Ultimately, Chen suggests that films such as Dust in the Wind capture the essence of Taiwan through universal coming-of-age narratives, offering an accessible entry point into understanding Taiwanese culture and cinema. Robert Chen (陳儒修) is a Professor at the Department of Radio and Television at National Chengchi University in Taipei. He earned his PhD in Cinema-Studies from the University of Southern California (USC) and is a prolific author, known for foundational works such as Historical Memory and National Identity in Taiwan Cinema. Throughout his career, he has taught and researched extensively on how national identity and historical trauma are projected onto the silver screen. Robert is currently visiting University of Tartu as the Taiwan Chair. He is teaching a course "Culture and Politics in Taiwan Cinema". Mart Tšernjuk is the Taiwan Coordinator at the University of Tartu Asia Centre. He is also a lecturer in Chinese language and culture at the Institute of Foreign Languages and Cultures, and President of the Estonian Academic Oriental Society. He has lived and studied in Hong Kong and Taiwan. --- Chen's selection of films for introducing yourself to the history of Taiwan cinema: The Mountain (1962) depicts young people living under a repressive atmosphere. Raining in the Mountain (by King Hu, 1979) Super Citizen Ko (by Wan Jen, 1995) Dust in the Wind (by Hou Hsiao-hsien, 1986) The Skywalk Is Gone (2003) explores modernity and urban alienation and shows how Taiwan undergoes similar modernisation processes as Estonia and other developed countries. The Electric Princess House (2007) brings the focus back to Taiwanese cinema itself and connects to the shared experience of watching films in theatres.

Four lil' honkers out, buyer cannot get them for another week. They may be half-grown by then! Acorn has plans for an outdoor gosling run as well as fenced-in above ground coop pen for them. Blind Hog brought down the old cattle mineral feeder on skids for the coop, and the 4'x5' pen used for previous peeps and honkers.Things are getting done around the farm. Garden work, livestock tending. Cheesemaking completed. Acorn got to try out the new battery powered impact wrench and what a joy to use that was!!!So far April has brought 5.49" of rain... Gotta boost those May flowers!
Rainy days can turn into messy adventures real fast
We're back, and this week we've got everything — a 295-million-year-old prehistoric butt, a zebra named Zeus who absolutely refuses to be anyone's livestock, and the official holiday we call “Blah Blah Day”. We also dig into a prediction market genius who made $300K betting on Biden pardons, and the glorious chaos of marshmallows raining from helicopters in Michigan.Then we get into the deep history of Nintendo — from handmade playing cards in 1889 Kyoto, to a brief and chaotic detour into running a taxi company and love hotels, to the kid who created Donkey Kong and accidentally invented Mario, to the legendary implosion of the Nintendo-Sony deal that accidentally gave birth to the PlayStation. Plus: we play our history edition of Two Truths and a Lie — war pigs, bidet thrones, bear taxes, and an elephant electrocuted in the name of science.It's Episode 273.

On July 16, 1969, Neville Goddard told a story during his lecture "Many Mansions" that should have changed the world. A man driving home before tax day imagined a gentle rain of little green pieces of paper falling on him — money, drifting softly onto his head, his shoulders, his hands. He did it for two or three minutes. He found it so much fun he did it again that night. The very next day his boss walked into his office and told him he was receiving a ten percent raise, retroactive to the first of the month, and handed him a check on the spot. Two or three minutes of sensory imagination and the outer world reorganized itself overnight. In this activation from The Reality Revolution, Brian Scott takes that principle and goes much, much further. This is a full sensory immersion into the experience of money raining down upon you — a poetic, exhilarating, deeply felt activation built on Neville Goddard's core teaching that imagination is the creative power of God within you. You will feel bills landing on your shoulders. You will smell the sharp metallic scent of fresh ink on cotton fiber. You will hear the rushing, fluttering roar of dense curtains of currency pouring from the sky. You will stand ankle-deep, then knee-deep, then waist-deep in hundred-dollar bills as the rain intensifies beyond anything the rational mind can contain. This is the feeling of the wish fulfilled taken to its absolute maximum — and Neville taught that when you hold that assumption with every fiber of sensory intensity, reality bends to match it.

Ron takes a very interesting look at what we do when we get caught in the rain..... Guest: medical code researcher Joakim Edin
Kev chooses to shovel s*&t rather than shoot a wedding... perhaps he has a cunning plan to start a fertiliser company? Meanwhile, Neale is considering continuing his drumming career and covering himself in tattoos, as Kev's Book of the Week is an inspiring photography volume that goes behind the scenes with drummers. Also on the show, with so many Fujifilm cameras to choose from, which one is right for you, or are they all pretty much the same, really? In particular, we look for the perfect Fujifilm in the range to lug up a mountain, keeping the weight to a minimum. Why is a leaf shutter such a big deal? Who decides which third-party lenses can be released for Fujifilm cameras? What the f-stop is vibe coding, and is it about to change the landscape of web and app design?

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” is a beloved children's book by Judi Barrett about the town of Chewandswallow, where food falls from the sky for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, until the weather turns bad and giant food storms threaten the town, forcing the residents to find a new way to live. The story, first published in 1978, is known for its imaginative concept and inspired the popular animated film adaptation, though the movie changes the plot to involve a food-making machine. Crazy, right? Completely fictionalized, right? What if I were to tell you that in 1876, a small family farm in Kentucky experienced a phenomena eerily similar to this children's book plot… Would you believe me? Check your calendar because it's not April Fool's Day, but it is Saturday and this is another “you cannot be serious” episode of your favorite podcast.

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: The U.S. struck oil facilities around Tehran, Iran, an attack that has triggered an environmental disaster. With massive fuel depots burning, rain mixed with soot and petroleum residue is now falling over the city, leaving a toxic, oily film across streets, buildings, and vehicles. After Donald Trump called for Iran's "unconditional surrender," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the term simply means whatever Trump says it means. Trump takes to Truth Social to claim to essentially claim victory in Iran in a quintessential confused post from the president. Professor Clara Mattei joins the program to discuss her new book Escape from Capitalism: An Intervention. Clara is a professor of Economics at the University of Tulsa and the founder of Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE). For more from Mattei, check the FREE YouTube channel. In the Fun Half: Senator Lindsey Graham is on a Fox News morning show still drunk from celebrating a new war as he shouts for Trump to invade Cuba next. Christian fundamentalist, Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) says we have a 'biblical responsibility' to Israel. Jake Tapper tells Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) that if he votes against $50 billion in funds for operations in Iran than it will be cast as a vote against the troops. Ben Shapiro's eyebrows are exploding.
