"Ho un piano, John"Quanto di vero c'era in questa beffarda frase pronunciata dal cagionevole e delirante Dutch Van Der Linde a uno stanco e determinato John Marston in "Red Dead Redemption"?Anni dopo, lo abbiamo scoperto grazie a "Red Dead Redemption II", antefatto della storia di Marston e Dutch ma anche grande racconto western che racconta la fine di un'epoca che è stata romanzata più e più volte. Facendoci ricordare che il Far West non è un paese di pistoleri romantici o indiani cattivi ma piuttosto una Terra di Nessuno in cui la violenza regna e dove la bontà d'animo sembra essere merce rara.

Chamberlain has joined the 'Avowed is good' parade with Alex, calling it the arcade racing game of first person open world RPGs, which coming from him is a compliment. Alex is approaching the end of said game because because not everything needs to be over 100 hours long.

Big news for gamers: GTA 6 is generating so much hype that experts predict a phenomenon called ‘GTA flu.' It's a playful way of describing how millions might call in sick or take leave just to immerse themselves in the game when it launches. This isn't new—Rockstar Games saw similar behavior with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption II. If you're an employer, brace yourself for some empty desks. And gamers? Plan those ‘sick days' wisely!”

Note: Emmett's audio this episode is a bit rough, though still audible. We'll tweak settings for next time but bear with us for this episode! You ready for this, playa? Welcome back to the club! In this episode, Allan Muir returns to join Emmett Watkins Jr. in discussing the games that will get us through the current political moment. Look, Trump won, and we have a lot of work to do to survive and take care of each other as he returns to power. Playing games won't directly change anything, but the art we embrace does help us view the world differently. Here are a few games that engage with the moment we're in, or even allow us to disengage from it for a while. And hey, maybe you'll even get a few novel recommendations as well! Also, in the Whatcha Playin segment, Al talks about their time with Dragon Age Veilgaurd while Emmett talks about his time with El Paso Elsewhere and Coffee Rush.

Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, set in 1911 and 1899, are the most-played American history video games since The Oregon Trail. Beloved by millions, they've been widely acclaimed for their realism and attention to detail. But how do they fare as re-creations of history? In Red Dead's History: A Video Game, an Obsession, and America's Violent Past (St Martin's Press, 2024), award-winning American history professor Dr. Tore Olsson takes up that question and more. Weaving the games' plots and characters into an exploration of American violence between 1870 and 1920, Dr. Olsson shows that it was more often disputes over capitalism and race, not just poker games and bank robberies, that fueled the bloodshed of these turbulent years. As such, this era has much to teach us today. From the West to the Deep South to Appalachia, Olsson reveals the gritty and brutal world that inspired the games, but sometimes lacks context and complexity on the digital screen. Colourful, fast-paced, and dramatic, Red Dead's History sheds light on dark corners of the American past for gamers and history buffs alike. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Microsoft is being sued by The New York Times for copyright infringement and abusing the newspaper's intellectual property in training LLMs. Microsoft accuses the Times of "unsubstantiated" claims and compares the lawsuit to Hollywood's resistance to the VCR in the 70s. A new paper introduces the concept of General Computer Control (GCC), which is the idea of building agents that can master any computer task by taking only screen images and producing keyboard and mouse operations as output. The authors propose a framework called Cradle that has strong reasoning abilities to ensure generalizability and self-improvement across various tasks. A paper evaluates different tokenizer inference methods and their impact on the performance of downstream NLP tasks. The authors found that for the most commonly used tokenizers, greedy inference performs surprisingly well, and a recently-introduced contextually-informed tokenizer outperforms all others on morphological alignment.

Nate, Sebastian, and Jordan all gather to discuss RED DEAD REDEMPTION II, Rockstar Games' Western open-world epic from 2018. We talk the problematic circumstances of its production, the surprising subtlety of its storytelling, and the complexity of its systems and controls. Sebastian makes bold claims about Westerns, Nate gushes over the music, and Jordan loses a horse to an unfortunate accident. 

In this captivating episode, host Elias welcomes the talented actor Benjamin Byron Davis, who shares his exclusive insights into his latest project, Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." Ben, who has worked extensively with writer and director James Gunn, provides a fascinating look into his experience working on this highly anticipated film, which serves as the epic conclusion to the beloved trilogy. During the interview, Ben shares intriguing details about his role as the hapless OrgoCorp Security Guard 'Bletlesnort,' who interacts with Guardians 'Mantis' (Pom Klementieff) and 'Drax' (Dave Bautista). Be prepared to be transported behind the scenes as Ben discusses his role and the exciting making of this thrilling sci-fi adventure! Coming up Ben has landed the coveted role of Pandora's arms dealer 'Marcus Kincaid,' in Lionsgate, Eli Roth and Tim Miller's upcoming adaptation of the uber-successful video game. Ben's character 'Marcus' is an integral part of the Borderlands universe, appearing in all the main video games as a weapons dealer and entrepreneur. Known for his gruff demeanor, sharp wit, distinctive accent, and knack for spinning tall tales about his past, 'Marcus' is a fan favorite who will be brought to life opposite Cate Blanchett's infamous outlaw 'Lilith.' Get ready for an action-packed adventure, as 'Marcus' will stop at nothing to turn a profit and outwit his opponents in this thrilling sci-fi epic! Ben is a highly skilled performer in the field of performance capture, having brought to life the iconic character of 'Dutch van der Linde,' the captivating and complex gang leader in Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption (2010) and Red Dead Redemption II (2018). His portrayal of Dutch was widely acclaimed and lauded as one of the greatest villains of this generation by Twinfinite, who also named Ben as the Best Actor of 2018. Red Dead Redemption II broke records upon its release, generating $725 million in revenue in just three days, making it the highest grossing entertainment launch in history at the time. As of May 2023, the game is still ranked as the 8th highest grossing video game of all time. You can watch this interview on YouTube https://youtu.be/FDlpLUt3rd4 Have a question?

Hey! We're just dropping in to let you know some things! So! First and most importantly, we're hard at work on Season 4 — we've recorded Kilner, Samantha and DAX alongside some of our guest stars and we've got lots of recordings scheduled! We're working with some really fun people this season! Next step after recording is dialogue editing, then sound design, music composition and mixing and mastering! So we're going to be really busy for a while, but in the end it'll all be worth it! Season 4 coming and we can't wait to share it with you! But! We also wanted to let you know about our new sponsor, Intra Quest, a new fantasy adventure audio drama. It's co-produced by the wonderful Adam Raymonda, whose name you might recognise from sister show Forgive Me. Intra Quest follows three adventurers in a distant future as they embark on a quest that will — hopefully — save the world from a lurking evil. It stars a whole host of talented video game voice actors, including the voices of Megara from Hades, Mercy from Overwatch and Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption II. If you like We Fix Space Junk — and we're assuming you do if you're listening! — we think you'll enjoy Intra Quest. We got to listen to the first episode and we really enjoyed it. It's full of action, adventure, quips and really detailed sound design, as well as really fun characters and bizarre situations. You can find Intra Quest anywhere you listen to podcasts. Listen on, and we hope you enjoy it! https://link.chtbl.com/9VmHiom4?sid=fableandfolly Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Carlos Navarro is an actor, radio host, motivational speaker and podcaster. You may know him as one of the 'bad guy' Tracksuit Mafia “Bros” in Marvel's “Hawkeye" (Disney+) or for his recurring role on "The Walking Dead" as Alvaro. He's been on Bloodline, Red Dead Redemption II, Madden NFL 20, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Outsider among others. Carlos is also co-host of "Monsters in the Morning," the #1-rated talk show in Orlando, Florida on iHeartRadio. But Carlos wasn't always on top of his game. His story connects with anyone who has ever been human and made big mistakes, especially in their youth. He has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows throughout his life and career. He's been penniless, jobless, self-destructive and has partied hard. But Carlos turned it around by self-motivating, doing the work on himself to be a better human, and digging deeper spiritually. Carlos's motto is "To the top!", and it's paid off with acting gigs for Disney+, Netflix, HBO, and AMC, and a 20+year radio career. His most gratifying project yet is happening on a new stage — as a personal development mentor, coach, and founder of "The Passion Project,” a masterclass on how to pursue and realize ones dreams and goals.  In this wide ranging conversation we chat about rolling with the punches, second chances, listening and receiving, anger & alcoholism, bankruptcy, confidence, affirmations, working on Walking Dead & Hawkeye, victim mentality and taking ownership.  The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!

Welcome loungers to another episode of the Paradise Podcast

This time, we're taking a look at the classic reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes and along the way we ask, how has Andy Serkis never won an Oscar, is this movie a really long vacation ad for California and just how plausible is a cure of Alzheimer's? Let's dive in… Cast & Crew Directed by Rupert Wyatt: His first film, The Escapist, was the darling of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and afforded him the opportunity to direct Rise of the Planet of the Apes Starring Andy Serkis as Caesar: Serkis has managed to carve out a career as an actor, producer and director. Following his motion capture performance in Peter Jackson's King Kong, Serkis was on the top of the list to give life to the main character of Caesar. James Franco as Will Rodman: Franco has had an interesting career to say the least. After rising to prominence on the television show Freaks & Geeks and later in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, Franco has also appeared on soap operas, stage and has tried directing several times. At this point in 2011, he was just coming off an Oscar nominated performance in 127 Hours. Tobey Maguire was actually the first choice to play Will Rodman. Freida Pinto as Caroline: This was one of four films Pinto appeared in during 2011 and had risen to international fame following her starring role in the Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire Also Starring: John Lithgow as Charles Rodman Brian Cox as John Landon Tom Felton as Dodge Landon David Oyelowo as Steven Jacobs From Tim Burton to Rupert Wyatt Believe it or not, this was not the first time 20th Century Fox attempted to reboot the Planet of the Apes franchise. Tim Burton had directed a remake of the original 1968 film that was released in 2001 and had starred Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter with Charlton Heston making a surprise cameo. The film was a critical disappointment as it currently holds a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes but managed to gross over $350 million. The journey to get the remake off the ground had taken close to 20 years and following the financial success of the remake, plans for a sequel were drawn but were cancelled with Tim Burton even going so far as to stating he'd “rather jump out a window” than return to direct a follow up. Fast forward to 2006 when screenwriting team Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver began developing a script involving chimpanzees and genetic testing. That script would eventually become Rise of the Planet of the Apes and kick off a reboot franchise as they were quickly becoming a trend in Hollywood starting with films like Batman Begins and Casino Royale. Jaffa and Silver had the daunting task of rebooting an iconic franchise but decided to go back further and explore the genesis of a world dominated by intelligent apes. They worked backwards from the mythology mentioned in the film including the first ape named Caesar and that the first uttered was “no”. Andy Serkis and the Art of Performance Capture   Andy Serkis has widely been recognized as a pioneer of performance capture following his performance as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings film series and as Kong in Peter Jackson's King Kong. While this recognition hasn't translated to awards as the Academy doesn't recognize performances like those, he has been cited for not only his performances but also his contributions to the technology required of performance capture and his work as he coached his fellow performers in his films. While performance capture is used sporadically in Hollywood, it has become the norm for actors in video games with games like The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption II, L.A. Noire, God of War (2018) and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice being recognized as prime examples of utilizing performance capture for maximum effect. Hopefully one day, the Academy or other major awards will begin to recognize the power and work that can come from these type of performances. Who's the Better Villain?

Actor (I Know This Much Is True, Red Dead Redemption II) and Infinity Podcast co-host Scott Thomas introduces me to an album that is epic in nearly every possible way. We discussed Titus Andronicus' second album, The Monitor, a Civil War-themed treatment of grappling with life as a young white man in an “uptight” North Jersey suburb. We talked about Scott's current projects, the experience he had listening to The Monitor for the first time and what (nearly) each of the album's 10 tracks means.I had a first-of-its-kind fail on this episode. I unintentionally skipped the track, Theme From “Cheers,” so my apologies to those looking forward to a discussion of that song. For those who don't know this album, it isn't actually the theme from “Cheers.”In No Future Part Three: Escape From No Future, Patrick Stickles sings a line “senior year in Mahwah,” which I had interpreted as his (or his character's) senior year at Mahwah High School. I later realized that, given that Stickles attended Ramapo College in Mahwah, he was probably referring to his senior year of college.In discussing the reference in A More Perfect Union to the Newark Bears baseball team, I had said they were or may still be an independent league team. The Bears folded in 2013.Scott had recommended the series that the Dissect podcast did earlier this year on on Kanye West's YEEZUS.

In this episode Victoria talks with TV, Film and Performance Capture Actor, Roger Clark about his experience on the Motion Capture stage and his advice for actors who want to get started in this field. Roger Clark is an Irish American actor and producer best known for his performance of Arthur Morgan in Rockstar Games' RED DEAD REDEMPTION II for which he won the 2018 Game Award for Best Performance! Roger was born in New Jersey, raised in Ireland and trained as an actor in the UK.
