Worum geht's? 2002 erscheint mit Sly Raccoon (in Nordamerika: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus) ein 3D-Plattformer exklusiv für die PlayStation 2, der zusammen mit Jak & Daxter und Ratchet & Clank eine goldene Trias der PS2-Jump'n'Runs bildet. In dem Spiel schlüpft man in die Rolle des Waschbären Sly Cooper, der als Meisterdieb durch nächtliche Städte und finstere Dschungel schleicht, klettert und kämpft, um ein gestohlenes Familienbuch aus den Händen der Teuflischen Fünf zurückzuholen. Fabian und Gunnar beleuchten, warum die Mischung aus Schleichen, Klettern und kontextsensitiven Diebsaktionen auch heute noch funktioniert, außerdem erklären die beiden, was den unverwechselbaren Cell-Shading-Look des Spiels ausmacht und wie die selbst entwickelte Speckle Engine dazu beitrug. Daneben erzählen Fabian und Gunnar die Geschichte von Sucker Punch Productions: vom Deal mit Sony über die etwa dreijährige Entwicklungszeit bis hin zum Aufstieg von Game Director Nate Fox, der beim Vorgängerspiel noch als Junior-Designer tätig war und beim zweiten Spiel des Studios bereits die inhaltliche Verantwortung übernahm.

If I had a mon for every first-party PlayStation game about revenge...yada yada. This time we talk about the latest samurai-ish game out of Sucker Punch Productions. Join us as we discuss a predictable narrative, various influences, and yet another rant from Mark about AAA video games in the modern era.Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “Ghost of Yōtei," composed by Toma Otowa for the Ghost of Yōtei Original Soundtrack.

In episode 19 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Isi and Ajay are joined by fellow BISR faculty Joseph Earl Thomas to discuss Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch Productions' much-anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. To kick off the episode, Isi and Ajay chat about recent cultural news and highlights, from the Japanese government calling on OpenAI to refrain from using anime and manga as training data, to the #SwiftiesAgainstAI campaign, to Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (2025). Turning to Ghost of Yotei, Isi, Ajay, and Joseph consider where the game succeeds (its strong start, visual beauty, sharp soundtrack, and the satisfying chunkiness and texture of its combat scenes) and where it doesn't (its loadout system, simplistic puzzles, dearth of opportunities for stealth mode, and social and political quandaries its narrative and design raise). They explore the films and television shows that influenced Yotei—from Lady Snowblood and Samurai Champloo to the films of Takashi Miike, Akira Kurosawa, and Sergio Leone) and ask whether and where the game successfully incorporates cinematic techniques and conventions into its storyline. Along the way, they discuss the game's dicey depiction of the Ainu and the colonization of Hokkaido, consider whether the pleasure of open-world gaming has diminished or transformed in the years between Yotei and Tsushima, and interrogate the shape of the game's revenge plot.

Kan Yōtei overgå sin forgænger?Ghost of Yōtei er et tredjepersons open-world action-adventure-spil udviklet af Sucker Punch Productions og udgivet af Sony Interactive Entertainment. Derudover er det også efterfølgeren til Ghost of Tsushima fra 2020 - et spil, der udkom samme år som The Last of Us Part II og formåede at sælge mange flere eksemplarer end Naughty Dogs flagskib.Ghost of Yōtei er dog ikke en direkte efterfølger til Tsushima. Faktisk foregår dette spil i år 1603 - mere end 300 år efter begivenhederne i Tsushima. Du spiller som Atsu, der ønsker at hævne sig på de såkaldte “Yōtei Six”, som dræbte hele hendes familie, da hun var en lille pige.Ghost of Yōtei har været et af de mest ventede PlayStation 5-spil i år. Men kan det leve op til de skyhøje forventninger? Alt det, og meget mere, skal vi finde ud af nu.I denne episode deltager Jacob Ege Hinchely, Anders Isaksen og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

解雇されたシニア開発者は自身の行動を正当化する姿勢を見せつつ、Sucker Punch Productionsを応援し続けることを表明しています。

We're back after our summer holidays and kicking off the second half of season 3 by looking at a particular Washington-based developer that we've looked at many times before, Sucker Punch Productions. After chatting about two-thirds of their raccoon trilogy on this very podcast, we're taking a look at something that is much more recent, much more grown-up, much more samurai. We're going back to 2020 to take a look at an open-world, action-adventure game set during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. We're talking Ghost of Tsushima.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we chat a little bit about tourism, whether Akira Kurosawa mode is just a black and white filter and nothing more, and there's what some people are calling “a surprising amount of Infamous chat”, too. We also look at how they tried to balance authenticity with audience expectation, finishing a game during a global pandemic, and there's a heated discussion about wind.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: outrageously quick load times; stealth that encourages speed over patience; some very enjoyable, very familiar outpost-clearing; the power of Focused Hearing; loads of tall grass; the feeling of a sequel to Assassin's Creed 2; being hated by samurai as you fling kunai, wind chimes, and sticky bombs about; undercover Batman; sword-fighting that feels like accessible Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, whilst also engaging the player with a number of different things to consider; no lock on; announcing your arrival at the beginning of a fight; taking on one other opponent in a duel; running after foxes, slicing bamboo, and one or two other things that are absolutely everywhere on this very large map; an uninspired grappling hook; an island that is too big for some and the right size for others; Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Ishikawa's student; a plot that would've worked better in a more linear game; using Ghost tactics and feeling completely fine; and our clothing choices.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Ghost of Tsushima is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Amnesia: The Dark Descent on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS

A little late but it's here! I'm joined by Bill from the Gaming and Collecting podcast, 3DO Experience and Geek Addicts to talk about the Sucker Punch Productions game InFamous! This was supposed to come out last month as it was a patron voted topic but due to Punch of Nazi month I pushed it back a bit. Anyway, InFamous rules and it was joy to replay though sadly it is very hard to find a way to play it in 2025 as it is currently stuck on the PS3 and has not been remade as of the time this episode comes out.  Bill and I break down why we both love this game so much, how it was developed, it's gameplay, it's story and much more! If you haven't played InFamous before I highly recommend you go out and buy a used PS3 and play it, that shouldn't be hard right!?

I dette afsnit snakker vi om samuraispillet; Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima er et action-eventyrspil fra 2020, udviklet af Sucker Punch Productions og udgivet af Sony Interactive Entertainment. Spilleren tager kontrol over Jin Sakai, en samurai der kæmper for at beskytte Tsushima-øen under den første mongolske invasion af Japan. Jin står over for valget mellem at følge krigerens æreskodeks og kæmpe ærefuldt eller anvende praktiske, men uærlige metoder til at drive mongolerne væk med minimalt tab. Spillet har en stor åben verden, som kan udforskes til fods eller til hest. Når spilleren møder fjender, kan de vælge at engagere sig i direkte kamp med Jins katana eller bruge snigende taktik til at eliminere modstandere. I 2024 udkom Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut udgaven så til PC og det har vi spillet. Medvirkende er Alexander, Emil og Johannes Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There were a lot of big games out 20 years – many of those games we've reviewed on this podcast, this year. But this game involving a raccoon, a turtle and a hippo is a special game for us, as it is the first time we are going back to a series for a look at a second game. We're going back to 2004 to look at a 3D platformer that has big Ocean's 11 energy. We're talking Sly 2: Band of Thieves.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we take a look at what developer Sucker Punch Productions were thinking going into this sequel, including how they really wanted to put a big emphasis on the game's heists. We also discuss the improved AI the team was striving for, a Ratchet & Clank demo, the inspiration of Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, and a woman named La La Anthony.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: patrolling guards and their flashlights that are basically vision cones; a health bar; enemies that can hear you run; tables you can now hide under; improved stealth fundamentals; fluidly moving around the rooftops of these large hub worlds; the brilliance and inconsistency of the Stealth SLAM (and also Silent Obliteration); spending coins in the new upgrades shop, and the fiddliness of equipping those upgrades; pickpocketing and too much of a good thing; Bentley's strong but heft-less tranq crossbow; the fists of The Murray; boss battles; the mission structure and how everything you do is in service to a big heist; a duration that is way too long and impacts everything; a mini-game mixed bag; going back to the base to switch characters; one of the world's biggest drug operations; and a narrative that is both dark and contains a lot of nice lads being nice.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Sly 2: Band of Thieves is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Untitled Goose Game on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS

Indy recommends our first ever video game with the Playstation samurai epic Ghost of Tsushima, Samantha continues her Colleen Hoover reads with November 9, and we get ready for our first foray into the works of Akira Kurosawa with the historical masterpiece Seven Samurai!    Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The player controls Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. Jin must choose between following the warrior code to fight honorably, or using practical but dishonorable methods of repelling the Mongols with minimal casualties. The game features a large open world which can be explored either on foot or on horseback. When facing enemies, the player can choose to engage in a direct confrontation using Jin's katana or to become a legendary warrior known as "the Ghost" by using stealth tactics to assassinate opponents. A multiplayer mode titled Ghost of Tsushima: Legends was released in October 2020 and made available separately in September 2021.   November 9 by Colleen Hoover - Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon's last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist. Seven Samurai (Japanese: 七人の侍, Hepburn: Shichinin no Samurai), released in the United States initially as The Magnificent Seven, is a 1954 Japanese epic samurai drama film co-written, edited, and directed by Akira Kurosawa.

Ghost of Tsushima 2 We might have our first Ghost of Tsushima update in a long time. According to a job posting, it looks like Sucker Punch Productions is starting on Ghost of Tsushima 2 already. Many were hoping, myself included, to see a Ghost of Tsushima sequel announcement during the summer, but it didn't happen. My experience with Ghost of Tsushima gameplay has been overwhelmingly positive. I even enjoyed a good bit of Ghost of Tsushima Legends gameplay as well. The PlayStation exclusive games list continues to grow and the PS5 will likely be the target platform for the sequel. Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Featuring an open world, the player controls Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan.

Dave is joined by Aaron Angle and Ryan Delaney to discuss Sucker Punch Productions' 2020 hit, Ghost of Tsushima. This is a stunningly beautiful open world game that does not quite transcend genre tropes, but does a great job to hide them and build immersion. Throw in a few fun new mechanics and some great story moments, and you've got a recipe for a damn good game.

3-28-2021(Host Scene)Zazz - Welcome to Table of Content. A show by streamers for streamers and the wonderful people who support them. I am Zazzaboo your host and the Editor in Chief of TableOC.com. We have two great streamers here tonight ready to drop their opinions on us about the latest but first~Welcome RogueHate: No one hates us woooooThis first segment is brought to you by Kaylas Cupcake Design. Custom wall art handmade by our good friend @jazz0ejo! Check out our instagram to see the Letters she made for my daughter!Streaming NewsTwitch viewers glued to stream of stop sign where 98.73% of cars don't stopNever ending streams, irl muggings on stream, fish tanks and video games.What do all these have in common? None of them are as weird as this next live stream.From Dexerto‘Stopsigncam' is a channel dedicated to filming a single stop sign on a random street in Salem, Massachusetts, with the account claiming that 98.73% of vehicles don't actually stop for it.While it doesn't sound like the most gripping content at first glance, Twitch viewers have become weirdly fascinated with the stream. Due to the fact that most cars don't actually stop for the sign, when someone actually obeys the instruction, the chat goes crazy.On top of that, as more and more people are catching on to the stream, some have started to actually go to the sign in person knowing that they will end up on camera.One person stopped at the sign, only to get out of his car and do a backflip.Another pair decided to re-enact a lightsaber fight, adding an unexpected bit of entertainment to the ongoing stream.The channel currently only has 7.6 thousand followers, but some of its most popular clips have over 20,000 views.While it's not the most conventional form of entertainment, stopsigncam has proven to be weirdly fascinating to plenty of viewers, and as it gets more popular, the higher the chance that people will look for the sign so they can appear on stream. Tighe - Now that people have figured out where this is of course neighbors and the streamer have started to be harassed by pizza deliveries and the fun things the internet loves to do. Do you think Twitch will eventually crack down on stuff like this because they could become liable for the harassment? The end of Ludwig's absurd 2-week Twitch stream may finally be in sight We're now 12 days into variety streamer Ludwig Ahgren's 'never-ending' subathon Twitch stream and, by golly, it actually looks like it could end this weekend. As I write this, Ludwig's chat of 36,000 viewers is fighting to keep the timer above 18 hours by tacking on another 10 seconds with every subscription. The streamer's efforts have already made him the most subscribed-to channel on Twitch right now with the second-highest total sub count ever of 120,000 (second only to Ninja's record peak of 269,000). Ludwig has a trip planned for tomorrow, March 27, that he isn't bailing on, which means he'll be forced to step away from the stream for the first time in almost 300 hours. How much his sub count grows over the next 12 hours will likely determine how this thing finally concludes. Streamer Slime (Ludwig's roommate)  will take over the subathon in his absence and even sleep on stream in Ludwig's race car bed. "I understand that this is Ludwig's stream, but we're in a weird spot," Slime said. "The [Ludwig] viewer does necessarily wish to see Slime," he said. "What I do not look forward to is 1,000 people asking, 'Who the hell is this bald douchebag?' That's just really annoying." Ludwig chimes in, "You're my horcrux, and I don't want to die." In the event that the timer is about to strike zero while Ludwig is away, his team has been instructed to halt the timer when it reaches one hour. "And then when [Ludwig] comes back, subathon is back on like Donkey Kong and the one hour starts again," Slime said in an update this morning. Off-screen, Ludwig adds, "It's like the last lap in Mario Kart." Beardcules - We see a lot of trends come and go on Twitch do you think this could become a trend or will this be a one off?GTA Online Streamer xQc Nearly Passes Out During Bank HeistReported on by Dexerto, xQc was participating in an intense bank heist on a GTA RP server. He took hostages, battled player-controlled police, but still failed to unlock the vault. During the heist, xQc saw his heart rate skyrocket to 170 BPM, and he nearly passed out from the stress. In a clip from the stream, xQc claimed his peripherals were blacking out and he was on the verge of passing out right on stream.Reported on by Dexerto, xQc was participating in an intense bank heist on a GTA RP server. He took hostages, battled player-controlled police, but still failed to unlock the vault. During the heist, xQc saw his heart rate skyrocket to 170 BPM, and he nearly passed out from the stress. In a clip from the stream, xQc claimed his peripherals were blacking out and he was on the verge of passing out right on stream.Thankfully, xQc managed to get out alive but left empty-handed, unable to solve the puzzle to open the vault. With police yelling from outside and the risk of having his character shot and killed for one of his most outrageous Grand Theft Auto stunts, the streamer's heartrate shot up to dangerous heights and the pressure almost caused him to pass out. When roleplaying in Grand Theft Auto, players often invest a lot of time and attention, and when they find themselves in close-call situations, it can be extremely stressful. Having hostages to worry about and the need to impress his audience by succeeding in the bank heist, the pressure mounted too heavily on his shoulders and he almost fainted.Rogue - This is one of those things you have to wonder  if Twitch will crack down on because of harm to the streamer. I think we should get you a heart rate monitor for when you play phasmophobia alone.Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by our merch store! RIP, Xbox Live (2002-2021) XBOX LIVE IS DEAD LONG LIVE XBOX LIVEFrom Kotaku,many Xbox users noticed a small change on the the Xbox dashboard. While uploading a screenshot to Xbox Live, some players noticed a reference to “Xbox network” where “Xbox Live” used to be.“‘Xbox network' refers to the underlying Xbox online service, which was updated in the Microsoft Services Agreement,” a Microsoft spokesperson told The Verge. “The update from ‘Xbox Live' to ‘Xbox network' is intended to distinguish the underlying service from Xbox Live Gold memberships.”In January, Microsoft announced an intention to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold, making it so the minimum (official) annual cost would leap from $60 to $120. Following widespread backlash, Microsoft reversed course and further announced that Xbox Live Gold would no longer be necessary to play free-to-play games. That change will happen at some point in the coming months, with no firm date yet.Tighe - What do you think of this rebrand for Microsoft? Call Of Duty Hacker Gets Banned From Two Games In One Twitch StreamThere is no one dumber on earth than someone dumb enough to hack or cheat while streaming a video game. Thankfully they get what they deserve.From screen rantActivision isn't pulling any punches when it comes to hackers and cheaters in Call of Duty, as one unfortunate streamer realized when he was banned from not one, but two different COD games in a single streaming session. A Twitch streamer banned during a livestream of Call of Duty: Warzone switched over to Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War only to discover that Activision's banhammer extended to him there as well.Call of Duty titles have had an especially disastrous epidemic of hackers as of late; an influx of cheaters that required Activision to take more drastic steps in order to curb the problem. With the Call of Duty franchise seeing a massive increase of active players in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to take preventative measures to curb or eliminate hackers and cheat bots rose with it. The cheating problem got bad enough that a Modern Warfare tournament was effectively ruined by hackers, which ultimately put a damper on the game's reputation. Activision, not one to take any threats to its profitable franchises lightly, was forced to take more drastic action to oust hackers. February alone saw Activision banning over 60,000 Warzone players for using popular cheating software, and the crusade to eliminate cheaters and hackers from Call of Duty is still pressing forward. This might be why Twitch streamer KD1PP found himself on the business end of the banhammer not once, but twice in the same stream. Serves you right.Beard - Do you think twitch should also crack down on cheating streams?This year's Call of Duty returns to WW2This year's Call of Duty returns to World War 2, according to fresh reports in part verified by Eurogamer.Modern Warzone reported this year's new Call of Duty is in development at Sledgehammer Games, maker of 2017's well-received Call of Duty: WW2, and is due out late 2021. Eurogamer sources have indicated this is indeed true.Modern Warzone also reports this game is codenamed Call of Duty WW2: Vanguard, and reports the name will be changed in the future. While this may indeed be the case, Eurogamer understands Activision's current plan is to stick with the Vanguard subtitle for the final version.Modern Warzone also reports "the entire game takes place in an alternate timeline where 1945 wasn't the end of World War 2", and is set in the 1950s. Eurogamer understands this detail isn't quite right, and Vanguard has a traditional WW2 setting.An open question is whether Vanguard is set for integration with Warzone. Black Ops Cold War was announced within Warzone, and its integration into the battle royale, while suffering from significant problems, clearly boosted sales of Treyarch's shooter.With Warzone set for a cataclysmic zombie-fuelled nuke event in the near future, one that reportedly will usher in a significant '80s-themed map change for Verdansk, the question is this: is Warzone set for a WW2-themed change in the future, too?Rogue -  What do you think of the WW2 alternate timeline?Entertainment News - This next segment brought to you by Us!

Things however don't look great on that front.From cinema blendDuring an interview with Variety, WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff was asked if following the arrival of Zack Snyder's Justice League, will more DCEU director's cuts be released, with David Ayer's cut of Suicide Squad specifically being mentioned. Sarnoff responded: We won't be developing David Ayer's cut.Well, that's a devastating blow to the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement, which started gaining in traction back in May 2020 after Zack Snyder's Justice League was announced. Like the Snyder Cut, there are plenty of differences between what unfolded in David Ayer's original version of Suicide Squad and what was presented in the theatrical cut, ranging from more scenes featuring Jared Leto's Joker to a badass fight sequence between Katana and the rest of Task Force X. While the theatrical cut was commercially successful and later won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, its critical reception left a lot to be desired.David Ayer has been supportive of the efforts to getting the Ayer Cut released to the public, saying last November that his version of Suicide Squad was “ripped to pieces” as a result of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice being “chewed up by the critics” and the success of Deadpool. This resulted in Suicide Squad being changed from a “soulful drama” to a more comedic story. Ayer confirmed on numerous occasions that the director's cut of Suicide Squad exists, and urged fans to ask AT&T and HBO Max (which you can sign up for with this link) to “let it see the sunlight.” it's possible that WarnerMedia's unwillingness to release the Ayer Cut boils down to two reasons. One, although the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement is obviously filled with passionate fans, its ranks haven't grown as big as the Snyder Cut fanbase. Two, while there are no more Justice League movies planned for the immediate future (although the #RestoreTheSnyderVerseMovement is well underway), Task Force X is sticking around the cinematic realm, with James Gunn having written and directed The Suicide Squad. So perhaps WB isn't keen on releasing the Ayer Cut to the masses because it doesn't want to draw attention away from the property ushering in a new era.Beard - It seems the move from dvd/bluray to streaming has hurt the Directors  cut/ commentary scene. Why do you think studios wouldnt want more of their content out there?Ghost of Tsushima Movie From John Wick Director in Development Last years Breakout Game is getting a Big screen adaptation from the Director of the John Wick films.From IGNSony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are developing a film adaptation of Ghost of Tsushima, with John Wick director Chad Stahelski attached to helm.According to a new report from Deadline, Stahelski will work alongside producers Alex Young and Jason Spitz with their company 87Eleven Entertainment. Peter Kang of game developer Sucker Punch Productions will oversee the project on behalf of the studio, which will serve as executive producers.The film is set to adapt Ghost of Tsushima's story, which follows the journey of samurai warrior Jin Sakai as he fights for the freedom of the isle of Tsushima.“We're excited to be partnering with Chad and 87Eleven Entertainment, to bring their vision of Jin's story to the big screen," said Asad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStation Productions. "We love working with creative partners like Chad, who have a passion for our games, ensuring we can create rich adaptations that will excite our fans and new audiences.”Stahelski has been the long-term helmer of the John Wick series of highly-popular action movies, and is set to return for the upcoming John Wick 4, currently aiming for a 2022 release. It's currently unclear how far into development the Ghost of Tsushima movie is, and so there's no date yet confirmed for shooting or release.Tighe -  Do you think this will be a hyper violent move in that it's being directed by A John Wick alum?https://kotaku.com/australian-government-officials-anime-figures-joker-st-1846541409/amp?__twitter_impression=true Bad news for Weebs considering a run for office in Australia. from KotakuAn Australian government official's display of pop culture, comics and anime figurines in their office has been declared a ‘psychological hazard', according to a statement from the Comcare government agency.The bizarre intersection of public servant and waifu figurines entered the national consciousness last year. Around 20 figurines were reportedly displayed in the office of Gerard Boyce, who remains the deputy president of the Fair Work Commission, and the figures had become the subject of debate at a Senate Estimates hearing.Some members of the Fair Work Commission questioned whether the figurines would “undermine trust in the professionalism” of the Commission at the time, and the deputy president was forced to remove at least one of the figurines. It's not clear exactly what was removed, but the Sydney Morning Herald reported that some of the figures included Scarlett Johansson's representation of the Major Ghost in the Shell, a figurine of Jared Leto's Joker, along with Harley Quinn in fishnets, and Captain America. Imagine caring what someone else displays in their own office.Rogue - Do you think this sort of attitude will change as my generation and yours start to get to the politics age? BOLD PREDICTIONS  Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

With Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro now Covid-19 positive, we look at how his policies and mismanagement of the Amazon Rainforest during the pandemic could soon see the last of the Indigenous populations in the region. He has allowed illegal logging and mining to increase exponentially resulting in severe deforestation that could see the rainforest all but disappear in the next 50-100 years. With major trade deals on the table with the EU, we explore what people and other governments can do to prevent the destruction of Earth's greatest, and most vital, rainforest.
