How many battles are you fighting without even being aware you're in the arena?It might seem like everything is “fine”. Sure, you had struggles, some hard times and bad luck, and things that didn't quite go your way. Many people have a story or two about the time they got fucked over BECAUSE they were doing the right thing.That boomerang can spin around and hit you when you least expect it, like it did for Tony Crescenzo.Tony grew up in a family of mechanics. Really, all the men in his family were mechanics, except for one grandfather who retired relatively young and bought a farm. They all lived in that same South Philadelphia neighborhood where the Rocky Balboa character trained for his fights with Apollo Creed. So young Tony worked Saturdays as a mechanic and Sundays on his grandfather's farm, learning the value of good, honest work.Tony's parents divorced. His mother remarried to a Navy officer and they moved to Hawaii. His stepfather's friend was an old-school Marine whose John Wayne-esque tales of service and heroism inspired young Tony to join the Marines. That's where he learned priceless lessons about teamwork, being part of something greater than yourself, and the importance of service. That's until he was assigned to NIS (which is what it was before NCIS), working in criminal investigations to bring down a paycheck scam. As the only witness for the upcoming court-martial of the accused, he soon found himself being court-martialed – and convicted – for a plethora of exaggerated charges, one of which was that he was UA (think AWOL) even though he was on an approved leave!So much for Semper Fi, right? Well, not exactly. Tony did get the conviction reversed, along with a commendation for his service and $20 for his trouble. But he decided to pivot to the private sector, working for, leading, and owning various companies and becoming a sort of “Clint Eastwood” of corporate restructuring. The thing is, his penchant for fighting was affecting every aspect of his life. Both his first and his second wives were used to Tony waking them up in the middle of the night screaming in his sleep. In his own words, he was was one of those people who goes from zero to fuck you in 10 seconds. So things weren't “fine”. It's a four-letter word. And then everything changed when he mis-Googled directions to the CIA.In a moment, when we meet Tony, he is going to give us a master class in accountability, vulnerability, and leadership including the power of meditation and an innovative method he is bringing to market for treating PTSD. As you listen, reflect on the fact that PTSD is not limited to those who have seen death and destruction on the battlefield. It comes in many different forms from triggers you might not even know.Tony's hype song is “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra.

We dissect the phenomenon of FPS Strike, a low-poly, Counter-Strike-inspired mobile shooter racking up more than 4 million DAU, mostly across India, Pakistan, Brazil, Egypt, and Southeast Asia. Despite its massive scale, nearly everything about the game is stuck in the “admon nightmare” zone—zero iOS presence, almost no user acquisition, unoptimized ad stack, endless rewarded ads, and zero LiveOps. Yet, even with all those gaps, it is still a money-printing machine, generating $30,000 to $50,000 a day, primarily from video ads and interstitials.What's inside:Ad Stack TrainwreckAds Everywhere, Little MonetizationCreative and UA FailFake Counter-Strike, Real Results: The “nostalgia” is more about experiencing a shooter for the first time on mobile, not actual Counter-Strike memories. Simple graphics, bots for everyone, and a skin shop that barely matters.Key Takeaway:You do not need next-gen graphics or live PVP to win in Tier 3. But if you do not optimize your ad stack, creatives, and UA, you are burning money every day. FPS Strike is a case study in “good enough” that could be so much more.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------Vibe.

Paul West, founder of Fumb Games, joins Two and a Half Gamers to share the real growth story behind the studio's breakout year. From Bitcoin Miner's $10 million run to the launch of Idle Mine and a creative rebrand that hit $1 million in sixty days, Paul explains how ruthless UA strategy, creative expansion, and a “cut what doesn't work” mindset allowed a lean team to scale tenfold—right in the middle of the industry's hardest year.What's inside:UA: Bigger Risks, Smarter FocusFumb Games ditched the “three-day payback only” mindset, stretched paybacks, and invested in UA even when it was scary. They ran tons of networks, then cut to the four that moved the needle.Creative Volume and ExperimentationAI tools, influencer gigs on Fiverr, and a nonstop creative testing culture delivered more winning ads and allowed for higher spend. The team tested everything—static, video, and even reskinned gameplay for new themes.LiveOps and Community as Retention FuelWeekend and midweek events, Discord and Reddit codes, and direct player rewards kept ARPDAU and DAU rising together—unusual for a scaling idle studio.Monetization UpgradesSubscriptions became 80 percent of purchase revenue in new titles. Side revenue from play gap (offline ad fill), Zebedee (crypto microtransactions), and Discord monetization all helped lift margins.Market Read and Thematic FocusWhen Bitcoin Miner started to plateau, they rebranded a casual project into Idle Mine, doubled down on the Bitcoin theme, and saw instant traction and monetization in a proven niche.Key Takeaway:You do not 10x by playing it safe. Cut what doesn't work, invest big in what does, and let your UA and creative testing do the heavy lifting. If the theme and the community are hot, pour fuel on that fire.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------Vibe.

On attendait le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye. C'est finalement le Sierra-Léonais Julius Maada Bio qui a été choisi pour présider pendant un an la Cédéao, l'organisation sous-régionale de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. La décision a été prise dimanche, lors d'un sommet à Abuja, au Nigeria. Pourquoi ce choix ? Quelles seront les priorités de ce président africain qui, à la différence de beaucoup de ses pairs, a promis de ne pas se représenter pour un troisième mandat ? Le chercheur sénégalais Pape Ibrahima Kane est un spécialiste des questions régionales en Afrique. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : C'est le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye qui était fortement pressenti pour prendre la tête de la Cédéao au nom de l'alternance anglophone francophone. Mais finalement, c'est le Sierra-Léonais, Julius Maada Bio qui a été choisi. Pourquoi cette désignation surprise ? Bon, je sais que la Cédéao est dans une dynamique de négociation avec l'Alliance des États du Sahel, l'AES, un militaire parlant à des militaires, c'est peut-être une bonne méthode d'approche de la situation. D'autant plus qu'il y a beaucoup, beaucoup de méfiance entre la Cédéao et les États de l'AES. Ces éléments-là ont certainement dû jouer depuis un an. Les lignes commencent à bouger et il y a à peine dix jours qu'une réunion s'était tenue à Accra et qui avait réuni beaucoup, beaucoup d'acteurs, aussi bien des États de l'AES que des États de la Cédéao. Et les choses se sont très très très bien passées. Les lignes bougent. Rappelez-vous l'interview que le ministre des Affaires étrangères du Mali a récemment fait à une télévision togolaise. Mais l'approche était totalement différente de ce qu'il y avait il y a un an. Oui, dans cette interview, le ministre malien Abdoulaye Diop a déclaré que les trois États de l'AES entraient dans une phase d'apaisement et de réalisme avec la Cédéao. Il a appelé à la conclusion rapide d'un accord sur les questions commerciales et la libre circulation des personnes. Est-ce à dire que les trois États de l'AES veulent garder les avantages de la Cédéao tout en quittant l'organisation ? Tout à fait. Je pense que, avec la situation qui prévaut sur le terrain, notamment au plan sécuritaire et aussi au plan économique, les États de l'AES réalisent que les choses ne sont pas aussi faciles. Et je pense que la réunion qui s'est tenue à Bamako entre le président de la Commission et les ministres des Affaires étrangères a vraiment permis de déblayer le terrain. Et comme l'a dit le président Tinubu dans son discours, il pense que tôt ou tard, les trois pays reviendront dans la maison mère. Alors, vous l'avez dit, Julius Maada Bio est un ancien militaire putschiste qui s'est converti à la démocratie puisqu'il y a presque 30 ans, il a quitté volontairement le pouvoir, puis il a été élu deux fois démocratiquement et promet aujourd'hui de ne pas faire de troisièmes mandats. Est-ce à dire que sur les questions constitutionnelles, il sera vigilant avec les onze autres États membres de la Cédéao ? Il est obligé d'être vigilant parce qu'aujourd'hui, c'est lui qui est le gardien du respect de toutes les règles communautaires que la Cédéao s'est donnée en la matière. Vous avez rappelé qu'il a lui-même décidé de ne pas faire un troisième mandat et donc son rôle en tant que président en exercice, c'est de s'assurer au moins que la Cédéao respecte la démocratie et respecte les droits de l'homme. Et si, par exemple, Alassane Ouattara sollicite un quatrième mandat à la tête de la Côte d'Ivoire, est-ce que vous pensez que son homologue sierra-léonais fera une observation ? La communauté sera obligée de se prononcer sur cette question. Parce que si nous sommes là, c'est parce qu'un certain nombre de règles n'ont pas été respectées. C'est parce que beaucoup de présidents se sont donné la liberté de faire ce qu'ils voulaient. Maintenant, on va voir si Julius Maada Bio est le président de la Commission, M. Touré, vont être courageux pour mettre les dirigeants devant leurs responsabilités. Ce qui s'est passé au Togo, ces manipulations de constitution. Un président qui quitte le poste de président pour devenir Premier ministre, simplement pour rester au pouvoir, ce sont des choses qui ne doivent pas être acceptées dans une région. La Cédéao doit montrer cela aux dirigeants de manière à ce que le déficit de confiance qu'il y a entre la Cédéao et les populations, que ce déficit-là s'amenuise. Et si, contrairement à sa promesse initiale, le général Mamadi Doumbouya se présente à la future présidentielle en Guinée ? Est-ce que vous pensez que son voisin de Sierra Leone sortira le carton jaune ? Cette question ne relève pas seulement de la Cédéao, elle relève aussi de l'Union africaine. Si vous vous rappelez, il y a deux présidents militaires qui ont fait leur retour sur la scène africaine grâce à l'Union africaine. Il y a le président du Tchad qui a fait un coup d'État et qui maintenant est accueilli au sommet de l'UA. Vous avez le président du Gabon qui a fait un coup d'État et qui a été adoubé par ses pairs. Donc, ce n'est pas seulement une question de la Cédéao, c'est aussi une question de l'Union africaine. Il faut que l'on ferme définitivement l'ère des régimes militaires en refusant totalement cette civilisation des régimes militaires. Ce n'est pas dans l'intérêt des populations, ce n'est pas dans l'intérêt de l'Union africaine, ce n'est pas dans l'intérêt de la démocratie en Afrique.   À lire aussiCédéao: les défis qui attendent le nouveau président Julius Maada Bio

We tackle the legacy and latest iteration of Puzzle & Dragons, the game that defined Japanese mobile gaming and reached a mind-blowing five billion dollars in lifetime revenue. From wild metagame depth and monster collection to why Western players just never clicked with the formula, the crew unpacks the hits, misses, and museum-piece vibes of a true industry legend.What's inside:No Gacha in the Gacha Game? Cultural Roots Run DeepMuseum Piece, Not Modern HitGame Design DNAAds, UA, and ProfitKey Takeaway:Sometimes, the most influential games are the least exportable.

In this brutally honest episode, Matej interviews Zino Rost Van Tonningen, CEO of Tyr Ads, live from MAU (with zero construction noise this time). The focus is on running rewarded UA without getting burned by fraud, bad partners, or weak setups. Zino shares knowledge from his journey through agency work, the wild world of offer walls, and leading Tyr Ads from rewards app to global SDK powerhouse.What's inside:The Fraud Playbook: How faked events, cheat engines, and emulator hackers can drain $20,000 from your budget in minutes if your setup is not rock solid.How to Bulletproof Your Attribution: Why server-to-server (S2S) events, signature V5 for Adjust, and secure MMP integrations are non-negotiable. If you are not set up right, your numbers are toast.Reward Structures 101: Single reward, multi-reward, playtime offers, and daily re-engagement, the real impact on UA and long-term player progression.Choosing the Right Platform: How to interrogate your reward partner, avoid lazy multi-reward copycats, and demand daily re-engagement, data-driven nudges, and flexible KPIs.Scaling and Surviving: Why will most offerwall partners disappear in the next year unless they build better engagement and retention features? If your partner cannot adapt, you are the next victim.iOS is Heating Up: Why Apple's rules are loosening, the offerwall boom is just starting, and iOS users behave differently from Android.Key Takeaway:Rewarded UA is at a turning point: trust your numbers, interrogate your partners, demand retention and scale, or get left behind in the coming wave of consolidation.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO LULU 4 IUNI 2025(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: Tulaga lamatia o le tautaua (The dangers of fame) Tauloto –  1 Samuelu 15:24 “24‘Ona fai mai lea o Saulo ‘iā Samuelu, “‘Ua ‘ou agasala, auā ‘ua ‘ou tu‘umavaega i le afioga a le ALI‘I ‘atoa ma lau ‘upu; auā sa a‘u fefe i le nu‘u ma ‘ou fa‘alogo ‘iā latou ‘upu..” Faitauga - Tusi Paia:  1 Samuelu 15:1-31 Fai mai le Faataoto 27:21 'O le ario ma le auro e tofotofoina i le afi; e tofotofoina fo‘i le lelei o le tagata i le ‘onosa‘i.' E le tatau ona saili tagata i le tautaua ona o lona malosiaga e faaumatia. I le 1 Samuelu 9:1, sa faamatalaina le tamā o Saulo o Kiso o se tagata e le gata e tautaua ae mauoa tele. O lona uiga o Saulo o se tagata loto maualalo aua ina ua faatonu e lona tama e alu e sue mai asini ua leiloloa, na alu e aunoa ma le tomumu. E oo i le taimi o saili manu, na faalogo Saulo I fautuaga a ana auauna e saili se fesoasoani mai le tagata o le Atua i le sueina o manu (1 Samuelu 9:6-8). Ina ua avea ma tupu o Isaraelu, sa loto maualalo i tausaga e lua muamua o lana nofoaiga seia oo ina ia sailia le tauleleia i tagata. Na galo ia Saulo o le Atua na tofiaina o ia e avea ma tupu, ma ua amata ona saili ia fiafia ma talia o ia e tagata. O le taimi muamua na ia faia ai ina ua osofai mai Filisitia, ma sa faatuai ona alu atu i Kilikala. Ina ua vaai atu ua taape tagata ma o ese mai ia te ia, na ia faia se mea sa le tatau ona ia faia, o le osia lea o le taulaga mu (1 Samuelu 13:7-10). Na ia faia le mea sese ona sa naunau e fiafia ma tauleleia o ia e tagata. O se mea sese matuiā ona ua matuā le fiafia ai le Atua. Afai tatou te faataga lo tatou naunau ia talia i tatou e tagata, ma taitaiina ai i tatou e faia mea sese, ua saunia i tatou e tetee i le Atua.  I le 1 Samuelu 15, e ui i ana mea sese muamua, na ave e le Atua ia Saulo le avanoa e salamo ai. Na ia faatonu o ia e faaumatia tagata Amaleka. Na manino le faatonuga a le Atua, ia faaumatia mea uma, aua nei faasaoina se mea (1 Samuelu 15:3). Peitai, o Saulo i lona naunau e faamalie tagata ma taua o ia o se 'tagata mo tagata', ua ia tetee ai i faatonuga a le Atua (1 Samuelu 15:24). A tatou saili i le tautaua e sili atu i le auauna i le Atua, ua tatou pauu atu i le mailei o le fefe i tagata aua fai mai le Tusi Paia o le fefe i tagata e oo mai ai le mailei (Faataoto 29:25).  O tagata e saili ma naunau i le tautaua latou te faamaamulu i tapulaa a le Atua e faamalie i tagata. E i'u ane lava, o nei tagata, e pei o Saulo, e le lelei le iuga aua e le faatuatuaina e le Atua se tagata e naunau ma saili ia tautaua, ma faaaoga ai mea taua a lona malo.  Le au pele e, aua e te saili i le tauleleia e tagata. E sili atu ona e saili ia tauleleia i le Atua, ia avea lea ma sini autu e taitaia ai oe. A e matau i le Atua ma auauna ia te ia ma lou loto atoa, e na te faatulagina oe e te taitaiina mai isi tagata i le Atua. A e saili i le tautaua ma le tauoloa e sili atu i le auauna i le Atua, ua e faatulagaina lou tagata e tetee i le Atua, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

BOL publisher Tim Watts and senior editor Andrew Bone are here with the rave reviews from the first Alabama official visit weekend of the 2026 cycle. Kalen DeBoer, Courtney Morgan and staff hosted some of the nation's most elite prospects, with more expected this upcoming weekend in Tuscaloosa. Topics today include: Which player did Alabama gain the most ground with? UA sets the bar for 5-star athlete. Bama in the lead for who? Good defensive line group was in town. What is going to happen this week? And much, much more!

In this brutally honest episode, the 2.5 Gamers crew and puzzle expert Laura Taranto dive into Century Games' match-3 ambitions, dissecting new titles like Family Farm Match, Party Match, and Truckstar. Once a 4X and farming powerhouse, Century is now flooding the puzzle genre with games and wild creative tests, but is there any real strategy?We break down:The copy-paste engine and meta behind Party Match and Family Farm MatchTruckstar's unique angle and why it's struggling to scaleUA and creative strategy: random, borrowed, or just desperate?Why failing to use rewarded ads and proper player segmentation is costing millionsPolished engines but way-too-easy level design, can this team ever push players to pay?What's next? Will slow and safe ever beat bold and brilliant in match-3?Key TakeawayCentury Games has the tech, the team, and the budget, but without a killer UA and creative strategy and the guts to actually experiment, segment, and scale, they'll keep missing out on match-3's billion-dollar club. “Spray and pray” isn't a strategy!Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------Vibe.

Peitai ao faia le latou fiafia, na faia se tala a se tasi o fili a lona tama e faapea, 'A alu lenei tama i fafo ma manuia, e foi mai ma faatau se taavale a lona tama. O le a ou avea iai se mea e alu ma ia e aua ai nei manuia' ona ia faia lea o ni vai faataulaitu e sauāina ai lenei talavou. Na oo le talavou i lana aoga ma ua amata na faalogoina le tigā o lona tino. Na vaai ma suesue lelei e fomai ae ua le mafai ona iloa tonu lona ma'i. Ina ua maea le ono tausaga o le ma'i tigaina, na ia toe foi mai i Nigeria, ma ua sau i se tasi o matou polokalame na faia i se aoga. Ao ou lauga, na taia o ia i le mana o le Atua ona mou faafuasei ese lea o ona tiga. Ua amata alaga, 'Ua alu ese le tiga!'. Ua avatu ia te ia e le Atua se pese fou ma aveesea tausaga e ono o sauaga ma le tigaina, ma e mafai e le Atua ona faia foi i soo se tagata e alaga atu ia te ia i le faatuatua (Roma 10:11-13).  I le tausaga 1994, na faia se polokalame a le Ekalesia RCCG i Lagos e taua 'O le taua o atua'. O se tasi o tama na auai mai i le polokalamane, na sau ma ni ma'i matautia se fa, o le toto maualuga, suka, fiva o le faiai ma le ma'i fatu. Na fautua e fomai e sii ma'i i fafo mo togafitiga, ma ao sauni atu e malaga, na filifili e sau muamua i se matou plokalame. Na pai ia te ia le mana o le Atua Matautia, na faamaloloina i nei ma'i uma e fa ma ua tuuina atu e le Atua ia te ia se pese fou. Fai mai le Salamo 126:1-21Na fa‘afoisia mai e le ALI‘I o Siona nai le tāfeaga, ‘ona tusa ai lea o i tatou ma tagata ‘ua fai a latou miti. 2‘Ona tumu ai lea o tatou gutu i le featani, ma o tatou laulaufaiva i le leo fiafia; ‘ona latou fa‘apea ane lea i nu‘u ‘ese, “‘Ua faia e le ALI‘I mea tetele mo i latou.” O se tasi o faailoga ua suia e le Atua saisaitiaga o tagata, o latou laulaufaiva ua faatumulia i le loe fiafia. O pese fou e momoli faatasi mai ma le faasaolotoga, faaolataga ma vavega. I le faitauga o le Tusi Paia o le aso, ina ua maea ona sopoia e le fanauga a Isaraelu le sami ulaula, ma vaavaai i le maleleo o latou fili, na latou pepese i pese fou i le Atua. Na tusia e Miriama ma Mose ni pese fou, ma na pepese uma ai tagata e vivii i le Atua mo vavega matagofie. Na pese foi Tepora i se pese fou ina avatu e le Atua le manumalo iai latou mai ia Sisera ma Iapino le tupu o Kanana (Faamasino 5:1-31). O Hana leisi tagata na maua se pese fou mai le Alii ina ua maea ona fanau mai Samuelu (1 Samuelu 2:1-10).
