This is absolutely one of the best run 'n gun games I've ever played.It's an arcade game, and it took me a little while to wrap my head around the idea that I was gonna die. A lot. But once I got over my fear of death I found myself lost in this game's charm, silly smooth graphics, and hella fun gameplay. This was my first Metal Slug, but it won't be my last.My guest this week is a living legend in the world of RTG, my pal Chris. He has been bugging me since episode 1 to cover Metal Slug 3, and I finally get why. We had a scare this afternoon where we thought we had lost the review audio, but everything wrapped up in a neat little PACKAGE and I can't wait for you to let us convince you to play this game.And before we turn into zombies, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we talk about specific controllers for specific games. If I could get Shigeru Miyamoto to autograph one item, what would it be? And am I excited about the upcoming Bubsy collection???Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 "metal" games: Metal Gear, Twisted Metal: Small Brawl, and Metal Arms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
James and Sam are away this week, so time for an interview in more detail than we normally would. Norma-Jean Belenky discusses her new podcast PodBiz, which explores the various ways podcasters monetize their content through transparent conversations with industry professionals.• PodBiz aims to answer the question "where's the money in podcasting?" through interviews with experts in advertising, subscriptions, and alternative revenue models• Some independent creators with just 1,200 downloads per episode are making six-figure incomes from their podcasts• Advertising remains strong, but subscription models are gaining significant traction across the industry• Organizations like AIR (Association of Independent Radio Professionals) publish rate cards to promote fair compensation for podcast production roles• Quality podcast production requires adequate labor and resources – "good work takes labor"• Value-for-value models and cryptocurrency-based micropayments remain niche but have potential for growth• Event hosting, merchandise, and packaging content across multiple platforms are effective additional revenue streams• Podcasters are building communities through newsletters and events to strengthen audience relationships• AI tools help reduce labor-intensive aspects of production but raise questions about transparency and disclosure• The podcast industry faces potential regulatory challenges as governments implement content restrictions and age verificationSend James & Sam a messageSupport the showConnect With Us: Email: weekly@podnews.net Fediverse: @james@bne.social and @samsethi@podcastindex.social Support us: www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support Get Podnews: podnews.net

But what about a game that isn't bad, but isn't good? It's just kinda, there? That's how I'd describe WCW Mayhem.The glory days of WCW were long gone by the time Mayhem dropped. THQ was taking their Revenge engine and turning it into WWF WrestleMania 2000, and EA picked up the bony remains of World Championship Wrestling to make a new wrestling game. The end result was Mayhem, a competent wrestling game with little replay value and a barebones career mode.I'm rolling solo this week, and while I still had fun playing WCW Mayhem, it made for a tricky review because there just isn't a lot of meat on the bone. But between the engine, ranting about Hulk Hogan, comparing it to other games from that era, and reminiscing about WCW as a whole, I managed to pry a 3-star match out of our game this week.And before we hit the ring, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks if I think the big jumps in console generations are a thing of the past? What's my favourite WCW match? And where do I stand on the Pikmin series?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

Drex covers three critical cybersecurity trends: companies swapping full-time security staff for platform subscriptions (requiring premium salaries for contract managers), the rise of AI agents in both cyber defense and attacks, and voice phishing campaigns targeting CRM systems like Salesforce that have compromised major brands including Adidas and Victoria's Secret. Healthcare organizations face unique risks from PHI exposure and must balance automation with human oversight while training staff on voice-based social engineering attacks.
Galen is one of the few guests I've met in real life when he came, briefly, to London and I caught up with him in at a pub in Islington for a drink and a chat. As one of my older guests, in his seventies, I enjoy hearing his unique perspective about sexuality, informed by his decades of experience working with clients especially around kink and sexual shame. As an aside, he cites himself on his website as the inventor of the sex swing!He's also a sex therapist, educator, and author of Decoding the Kink. Galen and I dove deep into a topic that I feel is so important for older adults, how embracing sexual authenticity and exploring kink can transform intimacy, especially as we navigate the changes that come with ageing.We talked about how kink is often misunderstood and stigmatised, but how it can open up new avenues for connection and pleasure, even when traditional notions of sex aren't working the way they used to. Galen introduced me to the concept of the "personal erotic myth," a unique aspect of our sexuality that's as individual as a fingerprint. He shared practical advice on how couples can start exploring these aspects together and even how to gently introduce these conversations to a partner when it feels scary or vulnerable.Galen also opened up about his own journey to living his truest sexual self, which started later in life after years of hiding his desires. His story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to reclaim your sexuality.This is such an inspiring and hopeful conversation for anyone over 50 who feels like they've missed their opportunity to explore their desires. Trust me, you haven't! This stage of life is full of possibility, and I hope this episode gives you the encouragement to start your own journey.00:00 Introduction and Context01:48 The Role of Kink in Later Life08:42 Overcoming Shame and Fear14:16 Pathways to Sexual Authenticity18:05 The Importance of Connection25:10 Embracing Sexuality at Any Age27:46 Final Thoughts and AdviceYou can discover more about Galen via his website: https://galenfous.com/about/Galen's book, “Decoding Your Kink: Guide to Explore Share and Enjoy Your Wildest Sexual Desires” is available via Amazon here.This week marked a significant milestone for me: I reached 90 paid subscribers and was featured on the front page of one of the UK's best-selling newspapers, the Sunday Mirror.I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you who has chosen to subscribe to my Substack.

Have you ever wondered if whiskey subscriptions are the real deal, or just another trend? Or is it just a way for someone to run through inventory faster? To answer these questions Greg Cohen, the guy behind Pour More joins the show. We set the stage, pulling back the curtain on the rise of these models during covid and how Greg transformed from a marketer to a crucial player in Pour More's journey. I'm geniuonly curious about the business model so we hit on operations, the power of great storytelling, and how landing features in big-name publications put Pour More on the map. Greg breaks down their dual audience – the hardcore connoisseurs and the gift-givers – and how they navigate the maze of alcohol distribution laws. Plus, we pull apart their tiered pricing, and how to balance killer value with exclusive access. Show Notes: Introduction to Greg Cohen and the inception of Pour More. Influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on whiskey subscriptions. Analysis of customer demographics and acquisition methods. Marketing strategies and redefining the whiskey culture. Creating connections with distillers for a unique experience. Challenges in customer retention and innovative solutions. Speculations on the future of whiskey subscriptions and brand storytelling.

I played it for the first time the month and thought I liked it enough, but some of you worship it like Special K!If you never played it back in '99, Soul Reaver is a little Zelda-ish. Some action, some puzzle solving, a dash of metroidvania. You play as a dude that got killed and is brought back for revenge, and you regularly swap between the physical and spirit realms to solve puzzles and kick ass. It's a little cryptic and confusing at times, and it definitely has a PSOne camera, but I liked it.My buddy Daniel just finished his first run through Soul Reaver as well, so he gave me an early morning call to talk about it. We both gave it decent scores, but I feel like we were a little harder on it than I expected it be. Have a listen and see what you think, why dontcha?And before we Reav some Souls, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks if there's any gaming franchises out there that have never fucked up?

The Experience Strategy Podcast is available on all major podcast platforms for free. In this episode, the hosts discuss the complexities of tourism in Italy, particularly focusing on the balance between local experiences and tourist demands. They explore the impact of consumer behavior on travel, the need for sustainable tourism practices, and the importance of transformational travel that benefits local communities. The conversation emphasizes the necessity for destinations to adapt to changing trends and the value of holistic travel experiences that respect both tourists and residents. Takeaways In Europe, tourists are getting squirted by residents and Bezos and Sanchez's wedding makes locals mad. Italy's tourism faces challenges balancing local needs and tourist demands. The concept of slow tourism promotes quieter, more authentic experiences. Tourism should support local economies and respect residential areas. Consumer behavior in travel is increasingly influenced by social media. Destinations need to adapt quickly to changing trends and demands. Transformational travel can enhance community engagement and support. Tourist fees can help fund local infrastructure and services. A subscription model for travel experiences could foster repeat business. Travel experiences should cater to diverse traveler needs and preferences. Holistic travel experiences encompass cultural, environmental, and community aspects.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Britt was *nearly kidnapped and Laura was almost robbed so today’s episode kicks off with standard chaos.Vibes for the week:Laura -Trainwreck: The Cult Of American Apparel on Netflix Britt - The Rookie on Netflix Keeshia - Mulberry Threads sheets Then we jump into your questions! PARTNER NEVER FINISHES ME OFF IN SEX, EVEN WHEN I ASKMy partner and I have been going out for just over a year. We were long distance at the start for 7months only seeing each other once a month. Fast forward to now we are living together (have been for nearly 3months). Throughout our whole relationship he has never initiated trying to finish me when having sex. I have brought this up with him & he said he doesn’t like giving head. I went out and got a vibrator for us to use. But he still won’t finish me!!! I have tried asking him & he then will but always looks so unhappy, so I am stuck faking it. He is my penguin & I want to marry him one day. It has caused me to have thoughts of cheating, just to get a good root (I am not one to have ever cheated). My question is how do I make him want to finish me off so I don’t get the feeling of “being used” and should I just keep finishing myself while he is at work so that I don’t get the thoughts of wanting to sleep with someone else? Please help a girl out! BF HAS A PUBE FANTASYWould love some advice on a conversation I’ve had recently that truly took me by surprise. I’ve been seeing a guy on and off for about a year (originally just fwb but we’re now at the point where it’s very serious - I’m away at the moment and if it wasn’t for that, we’d definitely be dating). We were texting the other night and things got saucy and he revealed he thinks it would be “super hot” if I grew my pubes out. I’ve had laser for years and am completely unable to do this - but also personally I don’t feel sexy with pubes (AND I’m a swimmer wtf). He even suggested styling my pubes and mentioned that he’s been fantasising about this for weeks (why does this make me feel uneasy). Do you know if this is a common occurrence among men? I’m at a complete loss.. does this mean the laser needs to go? For context, I’m 22 and he’s 24. Would appreciate any advice on this one! I USE MY EXES AMAZON ACC AND NEW BF THINKS IT’S DISRESPECTFULMy ex and I shared an amazon prime account when we were together. The login was under my email, yet he paid for the rolling subscription. We have been broken up for almost 2 years but we both still use this same account as I am unable to get a new one (as it's under my email) and he said he's happy for me to continue using it (even though he's paying). My current boyfriend finds it extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful even though the only time I use the account is to watch the occasional tv show/movie. I have no communication with my ex. What are your thoughts? FIANCE WANTS HIS MOTHER AT MY WEDDING DRESS APPTWe recently got engaged and are in the fun/stressful part of wedding planning. My fiancé and I have gotten into an argument as he has requested that he would like his mum to come to my wedding dress appointment. This is my first appointment and I don't even know what dresses I like/ what looks good and I'm really only going initially to get a feel for what's out there and what looks good. I'm currently living interstate and my mum is flying down to come with me (she is also buying my wedding dress) and I've also got one of my close friends flying in to come with me too. I tried to explain to him that I always envisaged this being a special moment between my mum and those who are in my bridal party and personally i don't think it's "normal" for the mother of the groom to come to these appointments. However, he has told me that everyone he has spoken to who has gotten married had both mums present and he is insisting on his mum being there. I'm not insisting on my mum being there when he gets his tux so I just really don't know how I can get my point across to him. I really don't think this is normal and my friends are all telling me that there is essentially no normal and it's whatever i want. I just don't know what to say to get him to understand that it's nothing personal .. I just would prefer it being an experience with my mum and I. I would love to hear your advice on what you guys did for your weddings and also how I try to get my fiancé to see my side of things.

Well, it's my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven't seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time's gone by. This month, I'm revisiting one of Tezuka's TV films in a brand new way: New anime publisher SkySet Entertainment has released the 80s sci-fi fantasy film A Time Slip of 10,000 Years: Prime Rose on bluray in America--and they created a full English dub for it!

Chuck Todd begins with the growing firestorm surrounding President Donad Trump's decision to withhold the Epstein files and why his behavior is only adding to the suspicion. He explains why Epstein is a central figure to the QAnon conspiracy many Trump supporters subscribe to, and why Trump's continued dismissals of a theory he has fed for years will only further fracture his base and prolong the outrage over his broken promise to release all the files.Then, Chuck is joined by formal FTC Chair Lina Khan to reflect on her transformative tenure leading the Federal Trade Commission and the critical battles she fought against corporate monopolization. Khan discusses how the concentration of corporate power today mirrors the early 20th century, exploring whether capitalism itself is failing as tech giants like Google and Amazon wield unprecedented control over commerce, media distribution, and information flow. She delves into the surveillance economy that has emerged from companies monetizing user data, the regulatory challenges posed by AI development, and controversial practices like surveillance pricing and non-compete agreements that trap both consumers and workers.Khan also addresses the structural limitations of the FTC, noting how the agency is too small for its ambitious mission, while highlighting unexpected bipartisan support from the populist right for her antitrust work. The conversation covers her efforts to tackle everything from pharmacy benefit managers and subscription cancellation difficulties to the urgent need for algorithm regulation, particularly for content affecting children. As she prepares to leave the FTC, Khan reflects on the media's focus on markets rather than the broader economy, the ongoing fight for data privacy rights, and the "ferocious pushback" lawmakers face when challenging powerful corporate interests, offering practical advice for consumers seeking to protect their privacy in an increasingly surveilled digital landscape.Finally, Chuck shares his experience of discovering that Google's Gemini AI claims that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease… which is not true.

As a kid I found Dream Land too easy and it scarred me, but as I've gotten older I've grown to appreciate the simplicity that is a Kirby game. And while it isn't his best work, Kirby's Dream Land 2 is a beautiful walk through a puke-green park.Dream Land 2 takes everything the OG Dream Land game did and makes it better. Animal sidekicks with more power abilities. Way more levels. Save files. Optional collectibles. This game isn't making my top 10 of all-time list or anything, but for a Game Boy game, it's pretty damned ambitious.Our resident Game Boy junkie, Patrick, is my guest this week. While we both agreed that Dream Land 2 did a lot to build on the base of the first game, we found ourselves ranking the two in different orders. Honestly, I think we were both a little harder on this game than we intended to be, but we righted through ship with some solid scores at the end.And before we start swallowing, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks which Simpsons character would best fit in with Super Smash Bros?

(July 15,2025)KKTLA & KFI tech reporter Rich DeMuro joins the show for ‘Tech Tuesday.' Today, Rich talks about Samsung's new foldable phones, Google's Gemini has a new video feature, and gone.com a new take on junk pick-up. Drones are the future of warfare, so why is the U.S. not making any? The death of the ‘click to cancel' rule.
Autonomous vehicle giant Waymo is starting to experiment with subscription packages for teens — including those too young to drive. But as America's kids gain high-tech motorized independence, what will they lose in exchange? Today on the Brake, host Kea Wilson is going solo for an informal chat about the debate over driverless cars as a youth mobility solution, how autonomous vehicles could even further isolate young people from their communities, and the dangers of relying on corporations for our basic human needs. And along the way, she touches on teen driving safety, the concept of "bumpability," and why parents are scared to let their kids outside on their own, even if they're not worried about car crashes.

How often do you subscribe to something, use it once and then forget about it? Months later, you realize you're still paying for it!

But Super Mario 3D Land is one that slips through my memory cracks a lot, and dare I say, for a Mario game I think it's actually a little underrated...It doesn't really do anything new or special, but it's a rock-solid 3D platformer, it brings back classic tunes and power-ups from previous Mario games, and while I think it's a little bit of a tech demo for the 3DS's 3D features, the fact remains that it's got that same level of polish most of my favourite plumber's games have.Pending RTG Hall of Famer Mark McCue is my guest this week, and while he has a stronger attachment to 3D Land than I do, I think I actually like it a little more than he does. At the end of the day it's me and Mark talking about a Mario game and sprinkling in some comedy stories. After 340 episodes of this show, you know what you're getting.And before we save the Princess, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks if Xbox is the new Sega?? Where do I stand on Undertale?? And what SNES games would I recommend for a 7 year old?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

Brandon reveals why so many entrepreneurs get distracted by vanity metrics like trips, volume spikes, and promotions... while overlooking the core behaviors that create freedom and build real leverage.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Incentive Trips Can Be a Distraction: Brandon shares his personal story of building a million-dollar business long before ever qualifying for a trip—and how focusing on the right behaviors yields long-term success.The Power of Enrollment Ratios: Understand why an 80/20 split (80% customers, 20% business partners) is a key indicator of duplication and sustainable growth.Subscriptions vs. Sales Spikes: Discover why subscription volume is the most important metric in your business—and how growing it 5–10% per month can compound over time to create financial security.Leadership Through Presentation and Duplication: Learn why those who regularly present the vision—both online and in-person—are the real drivers of leverage in your team.When You've Really “Arrived” in Network Marketing: Brandon challenges listeners to stop chasing flash and instead build a business where multiple leaders in different legs are each earning $20K+ monthly—that's when true freedom begins.Whether you're just starting your network marketing journey or you're leading a six-figure team, this episode realigns your focus with the metrics that actually move the needle.

Think the billable hour is just the way things are in law? Think again. In this eye-opening conversation, guest host Bridgit Norris sits down with The Subscription Attorney Mathew Kerbis, who shares how shifting to a subscription-based legal model can transform your practice—financially, operationally, and ethically. Mathew, founder of Subscription Attorney LLC and host of the Law Subscribed podcast, offers affordable, automation-powered legal services starting at just $20 a month. You'll discover why traditional firm structures are failing both lawyers and clients—and how a modern, recurring-revenue model can help you build a scalable practice without burnout. If you're tired of chasing hours, confused about AI's role in your firm, or ready to design a legal business that supports your life—not consumes it—this episode is your permission slip to evolve. Your law firm deserves better, and so do you.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Mathew:1. The Billable Hour Is a Broken Business ModelMany lawyers operate within a system that punishes efficiency and incentivizes burnout.Once you stop tracking time and start delivering outcome-based value, a better way of practicing becomes not just possible, but inevitable.2. Recurring Revenue Brings Predictability and ImpactSubscription-based legal services make it easier to serve clients proactively while generating stable, recurring income.Instead of chasing invoices and hours, lawyers can focus on meaningful client work that builds long-term relationships.3. Subscription Models Are Flexible Enough for Any PracticeFrom family law to immigration and even litigation, flat-fee and tiered subscription structures can be designed to accommodate complexity and shifting case dynamics.What matters is communicating the scope and pricing thresholds upfront.4. AI + Alternative Fees = Scalable, Leaner FirmsLaw firms can now scale without scaling staff by leveraging AI tools to enhance—not replace—human expertise.Firms that embrace AI see higher-quality work done faster and cheaper, making traditional staffing models less necessary.5. There's a Massive Market the Legal Industry Is IgnoringWith over 75% of legal needs going unmet, the industry is leaving behind a $1.3 trillion opportunity.Firms that rethink how they serve and price legal help can tap into this underserved market while making law more accessible to everyone. "The only people who are going to lose their jobs in this AI-powered world are employees who refuse to leverage AI." — Mathew KerbisGet in touch with Mathew Kerbis:Website: https://mathewkerbis.com/ & https://subscriptionattorney.com/Show: Law Subscribed: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-subscribed/id1586707101LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerbisverse/Are you a high-achieving woman in law ready to become a powerhouse CEO?Then HER Law was built for you.
Lex chats with Edward Woodford - CEO of Zerohash. They discuss Zerohash's growth, the rise of stablecoins, and the evolving fintech landscape. Edward explains how stablecoins now make up half of Zerohash's volume, highlights regulatory shifts in the U.S. and abroad, and explores the distinction between crypto and stablecoins.

Global payouts, account funding, and subscriptions are key growth areas despite UX friction.3.

Contra is gaming done right. Run, shoot, jump. My love of the NES games comes from their snare drum tight controls and tough-but-fair challenge. the SNES entry improves on a lot of the aspects of Contra & Super C: better weapons, level variety, obviously the graphics. I may not like the gameplay as much as the older games, but I can't deny that it levels up in a lot of aspects. And it's still tough as fuck, which I love. My boy Tyler hops back on the show this week.

It's a fantastic game. But Gears of War 2 managed to top it in every single way. This isn't just one of the best sequels ever, it's unquestionably one of my favourite games of all-time. The gang is back: Marcus, Dom, Baird, and of course, the Cole Train. The story picks up after the events of the first game, and while the combat remains the same, they found a way to improve on it and throw you into so many different scenarios that it never feels played out or boring. Sick story, new weapons, awesome locations, and you even run around inside a giant worm. How could anyone not love Gears 2?? The Dom to my Marcus, my buddy Tyler, returns to the show this week. I love Gears 2 for the campaign, and Tyler gushes about it as well, but also takes a dive into his love of Horde mode and the rest of the multiplayer offerings Gears 2 has to offer. This was as much fun as I've had recording an episode in a long time, and I hope we made all you Gears heads proud. And before we slice up a giant worm, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks what the coolest thing I've done as part of the show over the past 7 years has been? Are these cheap emulation devices you always see on Instagram worth your money? And Play One/Remake One/Erase One: the entire catalogs of Square-Enix, EA, and Capcom. Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the 360's best: Fable 2, Forza Horizon, and Lost Odyssey. Learn more about your ad choices.
