Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/Analytic⁠Join The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Dive into the rising wave of corridos bélicos on Notorious Mass Effect with Analytic Dreamz. This segment analyzes the fresh collaboration "Aguas" by Luis R Conriquez featuring Netón Vega and Rey Quinto, released January 29, 2026, via K Music/Sony Music Latin.Analytic Dreamz explores Netón Vega (Luis Ernesto Vega Carvajal), the young songwriter from La Paz, Baja California Sur, born around 2001–2002. Known for penning major tracks like "Rubicon" and "La People" on Peso Pluma's 2023 album Génesis, Vega has transitioned into a performing artist, blending traditional corridos structures with reggaetón rhythms in the música mexicana scene.The track pairs him with Luis R Conriquez, born 1996 in Caborca, Sonora—a leading figure in corridos bélicos. From his origins as a gas station worker building buzz via Instagram custom corridos, Conriquez signed in 2019 and built his brand through the Corridos Bélicos series, becoming a staple in regional Mexican collaborations."Aguas" delivers classic corrido bélico energy with luxury signaling, bravado, and narcocorrido motifs over a hard-hitting production. It shows strong early momentum: the official video on YouTube has amassed over 5.8 million views shortly after launch, while Spotify streams have climbed to approximately 9.5 million. The song secured a #4 debut on Billboard Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, highlighting its rapid traction in the regional Mexican ecosystem, driven by playlist placements on Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music, plus heavy social sharing on TikTok and Instagram.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the key signals: explosive streaming velocity in a short window, Sony-backed distribution boosting Latin market reach, and synergy from Vega's songwriting cred combined with Conriquez's dedicated fanbase. Consumption remains concentrated in Mexico and U.S. Latin clusters, with no mainstream crossover yet—no Hot 100 entry or UK charting—but solid digital performance fuels the ongoing música mexicana surge.As a pure streaming-era release with no physicals or major syncs so far, "Aguas" exemplifies genre tailwinds and collaboration power in building niche-to-broader potential. Analytic Dreamz delivers the data-driven deep dive on this high-impact 2026 drop and its role in the evolving corridos landscape.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Gaming hardware is evolving faster than ever, but delays and misconceptions still dominate the conversation. This episode of Decked Up uncovers the truth behind the delay of Valve's Steam Machine — and reveals why the hype around next-gen consoles like PlayStation 6 and Xbox in 2026 misses the bigger picture.

We break down the current state of the handheld PC market, from the Steam Deck's stock shortage to the rise of the ROG Ally and the saturation of portable gaming PCs. Plus, get insights into why the traditional console cycle is slowing down, and what that means for gamers craving new experiences.In this candid episode, host Mekel unpacks the myths of the "niche" gaming market versus mainstream dominance. He discusses how industry giants like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are recalibrating their strategies to stay ahead — often by going where players are already spending their time, namely tech and digital services. Learn why the idea of a “generation leap” in consoles is dead, and the true value of investing in hardware that "quietly helps you win."Key Topics:Delays and supply issues affecting the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Deck, plus predictions for release timelinesThe next-gen console landscape: PlayStation 6, Xbox's shipping plans, and why new hardware updates are happening later than usualThe state of handheld gaming PCs: market saturation, performance challenges, and the best devices like ROG Ally and Legion GoIndustry commentary: how community narratives, content creator grifts, and market over-saturation influence perceptionsThe evolution of gaming hardware revisions: from PlayStation 5 to Xbox Series X/S and classic consolesTrends in game releases, collections, and franchise remasters signaling upcoming announcements#SteamDeck #SteamMachine #SteamFrame #SteamController #Steam

Oh mei, normalerweise ist das ja eigentlich recht easy so eine Folge zu beschreiben - eine Portion Genie, eine Portion Wahnsinn und ein Haufen überragende Kalauer, bäm, da samma. Diesmal... sagen wir so, wenn Christians Humor aus dem Reiskocher kommt, Peter mit seinen Waffen Dialoge führt und auf einmal einen Vampir akzeptabel findet, Tax nicht nur den letzten Rest Kontrolle über seinen Medienkonsum aufgibt sondern auch Ersteindrücke zu Games schildert, die andere in der Rauchpause auf der Toilette durchspielen und Fipps neben Call of Duty zocken eigentlich nur Zeit für alte deutsche Schlager findet, dann ist irgendwas im Argen. Diagnose: Medienübernutzungsstörung in Kombination mit chronischer, verbaler Deprivation. Wir freuen uns, dass ihr uns auch bei dieser Therapiesitzung wieder zuhören wollt - auf was wartet ihr, ab gehts! - Recap: PlayStation State of Play (alle) - Fazit: Tainted Grail (Christian) - Nioh 3 (Christian) - Loco Motive (Christian) - Fazit: Eriksholm: The stolen place (Tax) - Ersteindruck: The Exit 8 (Tax) - Ersteindruck: High on Life 2 (Peter) - Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (Peter) Quickies - Darwin Paradox Demo (Christian) - God of War Sons of Sparta (Christian) - MIO: Memories in Orbit (Peter) - Total Chaos (Philipp) - Reanimal DEMO (Tax) [Geekzone 2026 bei Backloggd](https://backloggd.com/u/katzenmann/list/geekzone-play-2026/)

SPIDER-GWEN & SPIDER-PUNK spin-off movies are officially moving forward at Sony Pictures, and the Spider-Verse future just got a lot bigger. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the major confirmation that Spider-Gwen and Spider-Punk solo films are in active development and what this means for Sony's expanding Spider-Man universe. We also react to new comments from director Destin Daniel Cretton about the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer, including his surprising claim that Marvel Studios showed little interest in Wonder Man. What does that say about Marvel's shifting priorities, and how could it affect future MCU storytelling? Plus, the new Spider-Noir trailer teases an existential crisis, classic villains, and stylish web-swinging action. We analyze the tone, themes, and how this darker Spider-Man story fits into the broader Spider-Verse lineup. Finally, we discuss the latest Avengers: Doomsday update as the film's directors confirm that Steve Rogers will have a central role in the movie's story. How does Captain America factor into the next Avengers event, and what does this mean for the MCU moving forward? All that and more on The Kristian Harloff Show—your home for Marvel news, Spider-Man updates, Sony Pictures developments, and in-depth movie and TV discussion.

On this week's show we discuss the details of Ara's new home's layout offering his perspectives on his choices for network, home theater, whole home audio and smart home functionality.  We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Kodak Luma 500 - Review Launch date, channel list for YouTube TV sports plan revealed Sony, the pioneer of Blu-ray Disc recorders, to pull plug on sales Price concerns remain the leading reason for streaming cancelations Other:  IKEA Smart Home Without Dirigera: Homey Pro, Home Assistant, HomeKit, Google, Alexa & Aqara Ara's New Home Design (Network, Smart Home, and AV) Last week Ara was out in Franklin TN meeting with electricians and security contractors to prewire his house with everything he needs to make adding smart home devices and A/V a snap. So what did he do? But first an email from longtime listener Jorge Beltran with some recommendations. Jorge's email  Guys: I am listening to the latest episode on a train delay in freezing NJ.  I heard the question about sound bar vs 3.1 system vs full surround. I advocate that if money permits and a remodel situation allows it, I would significantly recommend trying to install 5.1, 7.2, or you name it. I have a full theater with 11.2 in the basement that we enjoy and I adore. But we keep watching more and more in the family room next to the kitchen for whatever reason.  And I do enjoy a lot having a surround setup there too and kept adding to it (it was pre wired on a remodel). There was a high WAF in that room, so I went with in-walls for fronts and in-ceiling for rear surround and a couple more for front ATMOS.  Yes, the surrounds and ceiling speakers are not at the ideal locations but they really, really add to the experience, even for the super bowl ambiance.   A friend of mine just upgraded his whole house and used KEF on-walls, very thin, good looking, placed a bit higher and almost looked like a decoration in a more contemporary home.  The wife gave them a big approval.  I checked after looking at my wife's face but are out of my price range. For you Ara, another friend, a latin party guy, installed 6 speakers on vaulted ceilings in the family room next to a kitchen and surrounded by windows, and they work really great. Thus, my vote for Ara is to add ceiling speakers on his vault for surround effects.  Ask the builder to wire them and box them out like a traditional speaker and place them on the rafters.  You build so many speaker boxes already, this one can be made of MDF.  Even better, build your own speaker out of parts, install it on the rafters just below the sheetrock, add a grill and you have the best sounding and looking in-walls ever. Last one, a builder friend just added in walls / in ceilings that go behind the sheetrock.  I have not seen them yet.  No excuses gents. Sending a CafPow for the extra spackle. Jorge Ara's Setup Wifi and Network decision - Ubiquiti Dream Wi-Fi 6 $350 & Ubiquiti Networks UniFi 7 Pro Access Point (POE) $180 Cameras, doorbell, motion sensors - Aqara 4MP Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE  $190 & Aqara Smart Doorbell Camera G410  $130 & Aqara Presence Sensor FP2, mmWave Radar Wired Smart Motion Sensor $58 Light switches - Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch Kit w/ Hub $115. I am only having the company install one or two, I will do the rest as I learn our new routine and decide which switches need automation. I will make use of lamp modules as I prefer those types of lights to recessed lights.  Whole Home Audio - Ara to build/buy speakers and connect to the network via ethernet cables using WiiM Amp: Multiroom Streaming Amplifier $300 TV and Home Theater - For the family room I will use a large format TV with a soundbar. Right now I am leaning towards Sonos Beam Gen 2 and their wireless subwoofer (Sonos Sub 4 $760). For my theater in an upstairs den I will do a traditional setup with atmos. It will consist of an UST, Receiver, and 7.1.2 speakers. Eventually I will build out a more formal theater in the basement. If I live long enough LOL No traditional Cable RG6

Hooray for an unexpected Sony State of Play! We aren't sure how the original God of War trilogy can me remade in the present day, either, but it is fun to think about. Also this week, Chance kills and gets killed by a cat with a jet pack. Alex gets cats killed in Mewgenics. And Chamberlain decides that realistic-ish military shooters give him the ick after playing Battlefield 6.

Met de Sony WF-1000XM6 wil Sony zijn reputatie als maker van premium draadloze oordopjes opnieuw onderstrepen. De 1000X-lijn stond jarenlang synoniem voor topklasse noise cancelling en audiokwaliteit, maar kreeg stevige concurrentie van onder meer Bose, Bowers & Wilkins en Apple. De vraag is of deze zesde generatie weer afstand neemt van de rest. Op het eerste gezicht valt vooral het vernieuwde design op. De oortjes zijn compacter en matter afgewerkt dan hun voorganger, het doosje is iets groter geworden. Sony zegt dat ongeveer 25 procent van het gebruikte plastic circulair is. De pasvorm is comfortabel, mede dankzij nieuwe eartips, al is het even zoeken naar de juiste maat. De WF-1000XM6 beschikt over een nieuwe audiodriver en extra ventilatieopeningen om het afgesloten gevoel in je oren te verminderen. In de praktijk levert dat een rijk en gedetailleerd geluid op, met een krachtige maar gecontroleerde bas. Noise cancelling is opnieuw een speerpunt: met acht microfoons (vier per oordopje) wordt omgevingsgeluid effectief weggefilterd. Al voelt het soms een beetje alsof de oortjes zoeken naar de juiste afstelling van de ruisonderdrukking. De batterijduur bedraagt ongeveer acht uur op één lading en tot 24 uur met de oplaadcase. Dat is marktconform. De gesprekskwaliteit is verbeterd, al zijn er concurrenten die tijdens videogesprekken consistenter klinken. Toch zit de kritiek in de details. De touchbediening is gevoelig; een capuchon kan onbedoeld functies activeren. De bijbehorende Sony-app biedt uitgebreide instellingen, maar voelt minder overzichtelijk dan sommige alternatieven. En met een adviesprijs van circa 300 euro positioneert Sony zich boven bijvoorbeeld de AirPods Pro, die wat goedkoper zijn en vaak meer te bieden hebben in functionaliteit.

L'evento di PlayStation è stato ricco, ben ritmato, pieno di tanti bei giochi e senza inutili lungaggini. Si tratta sicuramente dello show migliore che Sony abbia tenuto negli ultimi anni, al netto di un finale parecchio sottotono.

Google Docs ganha resumo de texto em áudio com o Gemini; saiba ativar. Governo usa WhatsApp para avisar sobre isenção de IR para quem ganha até R$ 5 mil. Mundo em perigo': ex-pesquisador da Anthropic se demite e alerta sobre a IA. Sony anuncia God of War Remake Trilogy e lança novo jogo da franquia de surpresa no PS5.

It's another show bursting at the seams this week, touching on Romeo Is a Dead Man, The Run, and Species: Unknown, with further thoughts on Dragon Quest VII, Cairn, and some Silent Hill f endingsmaxxing. And in the news, the rubber is meeting the road on the RAM crisis for Valve, Sony, and Nintendo, there's a new live-service Horizon game coming, Ryu Ga Gotoku's response to sexual assault allegations on the cast of the new Yakuza is... questionable, and more.CHAPTERS(00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2.

Episode 412 of PS This Is Awesome is packed with PlayStation news, hands-on impressions, and plenty of speculation as Fred and Jake catch up on what they've been playing — including ARC Raiders, Unicorn Overlord, and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. We break down a massive, hour-long State of Play announcement, Sony officially unveiling the co-op focused Horizon: Hunters Gathering, Capcom dropping a playable Pragmata demo, and Ubisoft's low-key release of The Division: Definitive Edition without a true PS5 upgrade. There's also discussion around Capcom's live-action Resident Evil Requiem short film and what it signals for the franchise's future. Plus, we run through a stacked slate of new releases hitting PS5 this week — from horror and RPGs to racers and roguelites — before wrapping things up the only way we know how… Like Persona 5, Pentiment, PES 2021.Visit www.patreon.com/psthisisawesome to support the show and help us continue producing the content you love!Please, if you enjoyed the content — or even if you didn't quite enjoy this one — come back.

In the wake the reveal of the PC-only MMORPG Steel Frontiers late last year, the other long-rumored Horizon multiplayer game has finally been announced. It's called Hunters Gathering, it's in development internally at Guerrilla, and it's set to launch on both PS5 and PC at some point in the future. Excited? Well, some of you (and us!) are. But the response at this early hour has been mixed. Is Horizon being overexposed? Where's the third core game? What's with this obsession with multiplayer? From our perspective, it seems like nothing pleases anyone these days. We discuss. Plus: Sony's FY Q3 '25 financials show profit growth and strong console sales, Grand Theft Auto VI's promised November release date seems to be solidifying, The Last of Us on HBO may not go past a third season, rumors say Starfield launches on PlayStation 5 in April, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What are our favorite gaming-related revelations from the Epstein Files? Is Resident Evil: Requiem being overexposed? Should the industry worry about Google's Genie 3 environmental AI module? Will Colin continue to take unpredictable call-ins on Sacred Streaming?
