Our list might not match yours, but we all walked away with the same conclusions. That's a lot of games!
The Fork In Your Ear Ep#195: Should You Choose To Accept.... Frankenstein Audio Version *Note Episode Recorded 5-31-25* In this episode of "The Fork In Your Ear," Tim and Nate dive deep into the world of gaming, kicking off with a humorous discussion about technical glitches and browser compatibility before moving onto their personal top 10 most-played games. Tim shares his meticulously tracked list, revealing surprising entries like Final Fantasy XV (a divisive choice he ardently defends, particularly praising its infamous secret dungeon) and Metal Gear Solid V (highlighting its open-world gameplay). He also breaks down his gaming hours across PvE, PvPvE, and PvP genres, revealing a significant lean towards PvE, despite his "Halo guy" persona. Nate, on the other hand, anticipates Destiny 1 as his likely top contender. The hosts lament the lack of comprehensive historical data from older consoles, particularly for classic titles like Halo and StarCraft. The conversation then shifts to recent video game news: Apple Arcade's First Studio Acquisition: Apple Arcade has acquired the two-person team behind Sneaky Sasquatch, marking their first game studio purchase. Tim expresses skepticism about Apple's claim that this isn't the start of a trend, speculating on a potential rebranding or platform launcher for Apple Arcade. Fortnite Returns to iOS: Fortnite is back on Apple devices, with impressive performance and optimization for older iPhones. The hosts praise Epic Games' granular installation options, which allow players to selectively download game components and even other players' skins. Randy Pitchford's $80 Game Comment: Gearbox Studios CEO Randy Pitchford's controversial remarks about game pricing ignite debate. While acknowledging the tone-deafness, Tim and Nate discuss the context of his statements and the evolving pricing models in the gaming industry, with Nate offering his ideal pricing structure for different game types (standalone, with monetization, MMO, PvP). Anti-Cheat in PvP Games: The hosts delve into the persistent problem of cheating in PvP games. As a Rainbow Six Siege player, Tim commends Ubisoft's innovative "Mouse Trap" and "Shield Guard" anti-cheat systems, which actively penalize cheaters with increasingly severe input lag and segregated matchmaking. Nate expresses his desire for other developers to adopt similar robust anti-cheat measures. Palworld's Legal Setback: Palworld lost a US lawsuit against Nintendo regarding specific gameplay mechanics. While the "ball-throwing" mechanic was deemed too similar to Pokémon, the ruling against "gliding with an animal" baffled the hosts, who pointed out its prevalence in other games. They ponder the implications of such legal battles for smaller studios against industry giants.

Today, we're diving into the origins of Defense of the Ancients—better known as DOTA—and tracing the birth of the MOBA genre. We begin by exploring how a humble Warcraft III mod, inspired by the StarCraft custom map Aeon of Strife, redefined competitive gaming with its hero-focused gameplay and team-based strategy. Then, we'll follow its evolution through community creators like Guinsoo and IceFrog, and the rise of DotA Allstars, which set the stage for modern esports. Finally, we'll reflect on its transformation into global juggernauts like League of Legends and DOTA 2, and the billion-dollar industry they helped build. So rally your teammates and get ready to push lanes on today's strategic trip down Memory Card Lane!
Good games are good. And we've played some GOOD games. We didn't know we needed to play Blue Prince but we love it, and must play more.

Klaar staat, net als elke doordeweekse dag, een nieuwe episode van Gamekings Daily. In deze vodcast praten twee presentatoren over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld die videogames heet. En dat alles in pak-hem-beet 20 minuten tijd. Vandaag schuift Daan opnieuw aan in de studio. Samen met JJ praat hij over de opmerkelijke uitspraak van de ontwikkelaar van NieR Automata die tegen de Japanse media Famitsu melde dat 'er over 50 jaar niemand meer een baan heeft in de game-development wereld'. Verder kijken de twee naar de mogelijkheid dat er een nieuwe Starcraft game komt. 15 jaar na het laatste deel. Deze twee onderwerpen zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de GK Daily van dinsdag 29 april 2025.Pakt AI het werk af van iedereen in de game-development industrie?GK Daily is er op maandag, dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag. Op de vrijdag hebben we EvdWL, de uitgebreide podcast over alle ontwikkelingen in die week. In deze editie praten Daan en JJ over het interview dat Yoko Taro, de man achter NieR Automata, hield met Famitsu. De Japanner ziet het niet echt zonnig in voor de mensen die games maken. Volgens hem gaat AI dat werk allemaal overnemen. Zijn Daan en JJ het met hem eens? gaat het zo;n vaart lopen en hoe ziet de industrie er dan uit? Het antwoord krijg je in deze video.Nexon zou werken aan de nieuwe StarcraftStarCraft is een iconische real-time strategy RTS ontwikkeld door Blizzard Entertainment. De serie debuteerde in 1998 met StarCraft, een spel dat zich afspeelt in een futuristisch melkwegstelsel waar drie unieke rassen — de menselijke Terrans, de insectachtige Zerg en de psionische Protoss — strijden om overheersing. Na Broodwar in 2010 hebben we niks meer van de serie vernomen. Komt daar binnenkort verandering in? En hoe gaat die game er dan uitzien?

The Roundtable assembles once more. All elustrious members have returned: Jesse Cox, Okaymage and Preachgaming. The cloud has lifted and celebrations ring out over the internet as MSQ returns.

How can AI help us understand and master deeply complex systems—from the game Go, which has 10 to the power 170 possible positions a player could pursue, or proteins, which, on average, can fold in 10 to the power 300 possible ways? This week, Reid and Aria are joined by Demis Hassabis. Demis is a British artificial intelligence researcher, co-founder, and CEO of the AI company, DeepMind. Under his leadership, DeepMind developed Alpha Go, the first AI to defeat a human world champion in Go and later created AlphaFold, which solved the 50-year-old protein folding problem. He's considered one of the most influential figures in AI. Demis, Reid, and Aria discuss game theory, medicine, multimodality, and the nature of innovation and creativity.

BlizzCon 2026 could be the launchpad for a new StarCraft and major Game Pass integrations. The Punisher will be darker and more intense, addressing real-world themes of vigilante justice. Superhero movies are shifting from gritty realism to hope and inspiration, influenced by projects like Fantastic Four and Superman. Streaming's role in the superhero genre is growing, allowing more room for experimentation. Invincible Season 3 continues to deliver brutal action and deep storytelling, keeping fans hooked. Quotes from the Episode: "We're seeing superhero movies move away from the dark and gritty era—Superman and Fantastic Four are bringing back optimism." "BlizzCon skipping a year tells me something big is coming. New StarCraft? Maybe. But Game Pass integration seems like a no-brainer." "The Punisher has always been a controversial figure, but this time Marvel is taking a stance and tackling real-world issues head-on." "Invincible Season 3 just proves that adult animation can be just as impactful, if not more, than live-action superhero stories." Call to Action: Enjoy the episode?

When Chinese AI company DeepSeek announced they had built a model that could compete with OpenAI at a fraction of the cost, it sent shockwaves through the industry and roiled global markets. But amid all the noise around DeepSeek, there was a clear signal: machine reasoning is here and it's transforming AI.In this episode, Aza sits down with CHT co-founder Randy Fernando to explore what happens when AI moves beyond pattern matching to actual reasoning. They unpack how these new models can not only learn from human knowledge but discover entirely new strategies we've never seen before – bringing unprecedented problem-solving potential but also unpredictable risks.These capabilities are a step toward a critical threshold - when AI can accelerate its own development. With major labs racing to build self-improving systems, the crucial question isn't how fast we can go, but where we're trying to get to. How do we ensure this transformative technology serves human flourishing rather than undermining it?Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on Twitter: @HumaneTech_Clarification: In making the point that reasoning models excel at tasks for which there is a right or wrong answer, Randy referred to Chess, Go, and Starcraft as examples of games where a reasoning model would do well. However, this is only true on the basis of individual decisions within those games. None of these games have been “solved” in the the game theory sense.Correction: Aza mispronounced the name of the Go champion Lee Sedol, who was bested by Move 37.RECOMMENDED MEDIAFurther reading on DeepSeek's R1 and the market reaction Further reading on the debate about the actual cost of DeepSeek's R1 model The study that found training AIs to code also made them better writers More information on the AI coding company Cursor Further reading on Eric Schmidt's threshold to “pull the plug” on AI Further reading on Move 37RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Self-Preserving Machine: Why AI Learns to Deceive This Moment in AI: How We Got Here and Where We're Going Former OpenAI Engineer William Saunders on Silence, Safety, and the Right to Warn The AI ‘Race': China vs. the US with Jeffrey Ding and Karen Hao
