We talk more about the FIFA World Cup and the matches I attended in Atlanta. Jersey Jack Pinball has announced a new pinball machine based on Sonic The Hedgehog, and the headlines once again focus on the high price of owning pinball. Find a pinball arcade near you and request it so you can play it for just a dollar or two! The Steam Machine has launched with a price much higher than Valve initially intended due to the RAM and storage shortages. Valve has released a new version of SteamOS that can now run on any AMD desktop - for free. Grand Theft Auto VI will not release with a physical edition on consoles, and it came out later that it will NEVER launch with a physical edition. Then we talk to Jamie from OLR IIDX about Transformers Pinball and the 24th anniversary of Orange Lounge Radio.

This week, Will is joined by Tested's Norman Chan to dig deep into their extensive hands on testing with the Steam Machine, including how it fits into Valve's burgeoning hardware ecosystem, performance testing, how console-y it actually is, whether you could use it as a more traditional desktop, pricing in the rampocalypse, and even answer some questions from the audience.  Support the Pod!

We are officially entering our 11th year, making New Dad Gaming the longest-running fatherhood gaming podcast on the internet!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We talk about some of the late levels before turning to our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Through Battery (B) and Seoul (T) Issues covered: whether Tim is North Korea, Steam Deck support, the intimate level design of Hokkaido, nightingale floors and ninja, ninja kids, level design that wraps around, changing up the levels, timed sections, cool ideas for the space, connectivity, different types of cameras, a frustrating metric challenge, directing the player, contextual movement and tagging, telegraphing metrics, negative design metrics, finding additional story, the set-up for Seoul, contrast against Battery, escalating the dynamic objectives, the "reversal," upping the ante, getting 100%, the whistle, finding a body as a negative stat, deducing player intent, unconscious witnesses, combining states, layering tools and immersive sims, wanting more guidance to the systems and verbs the player has access to, building tutorial stuff last, executing on the tone, dynamic changes to the plan, leaning into the tech appropriately, communicating enemy AI state clearly without UI, the limited reach of this genre.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: BioStats, CalamityNolan, OI Interactive, RealmSoft, Clockwork Ambrosia, Michael Patton, Nathan Hiemenz, Ian Clark, Lian Hearn, Across the Nightingale Floor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Team Ninja, Vanquish, Platinum Games, Metal Gear Revengeance, Clover Studios, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Jedi Knight, LucasArts, Kevin Kauffman, Matt Tateishi, Jake Stevens, Knute Rockne, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Mysteries of the Sith, White Men Can't Jump, Woody Harrelson, Star Wars: Rogue One, Hal Barwood, Hitman: World of Assassination, Nintendo, Majora's Mask, SW: Republic Commando, Mission: Impossible, Project: Octavia, DOOM (1993), Alien: Isolation, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Ever, Mark Garcia.  Next time: Psychonauts!

Nilay and David dig into the Jony Ive-designed car, from its marvelously appointed interior to its decidedly non-Ferrari-like exterior. (You might even call it... Nissan Leaf-like.)

First, in Patch Notes, they discuss the future of 'Destiny' and Bungie after the end of development on the almost decade-old 'Destiny 2,' and what the huge hikes in the price of Valve's Steam Deck portend for the Steam Machine, the current console generation, and the future of gaming. Then, they share their spoiler-free reviews of 'First Light,' James Bond's long-awaited return to gaming at the hands of 'Hitman' maker IO Interactive, and the much-anticipated 8-bit homage 'Mina,' from the makers of 'Shovel Knight.'Intro (0:00)Reactions to ‘Destiny 2' ending (1:28)Steamdeck price increases!

Paul has been testing various Linux distributions and other Windows alternatives for months as part of a Switcher series. The zen of Linux can mostly apply to Windows, too: Install and manage software with package managers, and embrace the command line, especially. And if you're going to use a local account, at least be smart about it. Also, Vivaldi 8.0 looks awesome and appears to deliver what Firefox is promising with its Nova UI. Plus, Discord has a native app for Windows 11 on Arm now. Windows Week D arrives with a surprise: 24H2/26H1 are aligned and getting the same new features Shared audio with BT LE, multi-app camera support, many improvements - but the big deal may be the performance and reliability improvements across the board This is the next Patch Tuesday, today Friday builds - new accessibility features in Experimental and Beta, more Microsoft CMO Yusuf Mehdi to leave company after an astonishing 35-year run - started in Windows, but with IE, Bing & MSN, Interactive Entertainment (Xbox), Windows and Devices, and then a SLT position before the end. Incredible run. Paul has three milestones and one throughline to share. Lenovo revenues surge 27 percent to $21.6 billion NVIDIA revenues really surged 85 percent to $81.6 billion AI/dev Google adds Google Drive sync to NotebookLM, and moves preferred sources into AI Mode and AI Overviews Saying no to AI: DuckDuckGo usage surges in the wake of Google I/O's AI tsunami OpenAI releases ChatGPT plugin for PowerPoint .NET MAUI to get Material You support for Android in .NET 10 Follow-up on last week's vibe coding adventures: Paul talked about this last week, but a lot has happened since then. The Android app creation capability in Google AI Studio is live. A few thoughts on vibe coding with Android Studio, Claude Code, and more Xbox and gaming XBOX—and, yes, it's XBOX now—has an official merchandise store to go alongside all its other official merchandise stores The Steam Deck is back in stock! Also, it's 40 percent more expensive Tips & picks Tip of the week: Understanding the zen of Linux can help a Windows user too App pick of the week: A grab-bag of apps for Windows RunAs Radio this week: Team Productivity using Loop with Karinne Bessette Brown liquor pick of the week: John Sleeman & Sons Rye Whisky Hosts: Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell Download or subscribe to Windows Weekly at https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly Check out Paul's blog at thurrott.com The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of Carl Franklin.
