Torna IL CORTOCIRCUTITO, con una super puntata bella scoppiettante come al solito; si inizia con chiacchiere leggere e teorie assurde che portano a varie digressioni comiche. Il tema centrale è il caso del videogioco italiano Horses, bannato da Steam, e il conseguente dibattito sul potere quasi monopolistico di Valve e sulla necessità di regole più trasparenti. Si discute poi della polemica di Tim Sweeney sull'obbligo di etichettare i giochi che usano l'IA, tra chi vede l'IA come uno strumento standard e chi difende il diritto all'informazione del consumatore. Nello spazio dedicato ai vocali, il pubblico interviene con domande ironiche e questioni serie, toccando temi di costume, provocazioni sul mondo delle recensioni e riflessioni sulla percezione dei reati sessuali, fino a chiudere con critiche sulle troppe discussioni sul conflitto di interessi.

Deze vodcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door NVIDIA. Alle meningen in deze vodcast zijn onze eigen. NVIDIA heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en ziet de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over het laatste nieuws uit de wereld der videogames. Immer vergezeld van een pittige mening. JJ wordt ditmaal vergezeld door Koos, die inmiddels van zijn jetlag af is. Hij zit dus fris en fruitig in de studio klaar. Getweeën praten ze over de prijs van de Steam Machine, die nu Valve niks zegt, gewoon ingevuld wordt door de experts. Ook kijken de twee wat vooruit op de aankomende The Game Awards. Want daar was opeens die vage tease van Geoff Keighley die een screenshot van een boom in de Mojave woestijn toonde. Voor welke game kan dit zijn? De antwoorden op deze vragen kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 1 december 2025.Steam Machine gaat volgens de kenners 699 euro kostenEen ander topic betreft de uitspraak van Konami dat ze nog niet weten welke Metal Gear Solid ze hierna gaan remaken. Plus de remake van Metal Gear Solid 4 gaat zeer, zeer lastig worden. Waarom dat is, hoor je in deze video. JJ en Koos spreken tot slot ook over Hollow Knight: Silksong dat nu al de handdoek in de ring gooit bij The Game Awards. Ze hebben gelukkig ook een leuke mededeling voor de fans. Plus PlayStation komt met een stablecoin.Pak honderden euro's korting op desktops en laptops met de NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPU aan boordOp zoek naar een dikke videokaart, een nieuwe PC of een laptop?

Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben!Vor kurzem sprachen wir hier im Podcast, wie fast alle in der Gamingbranche, über die von Valve neu angekündigte Hardware, speziell die SteamMachine. Dass Preis und Erscheinungsdatum weiterhin Objekt von Spekulationen bleiben, erfährt eine neue Bedeutung, seitdem, angeschoben durch einen Lieferdeal von OpenAI, die PC-Hardware-Preise weiter durch die Decke gehen und keine Wende absehbar scheint. Wir fragen uns also: Wo ist unsere Schmerzgrenze für den „Gabe-Cube“ und hatten wir evtl. doch eine falsche Zielgruppe im Blick als der Konsolen-PC-Hybrid vorgestellt wurde?In den Nachrichten aus der Spielebranche reden wir diese Episode über Nintendo, die ein Studio von einem Mitbewerber übernehmen, über Embracer, die wiederum zwei frühere Aufkäufe abgeben sowie über eine kommende Far Cry TV-Serie und offensichtlich schlechte Zahlen für Vampire - The Masquerades Bloodlines 2. Gespielt wurde auch, zumindest etwas…Aber hört selbst.Viel Spaß!Dies und das04:24 Stetig steigende Hardwarepreise und unsere Schmerzgrenze für die SteamMachine38:40 Müllermilch und die GamerWas wird denn hier gespielt?

De entre los escombros mentales renace Envicia Podcast. Como cada semana, tres señores de cierta edad intentan luchar contra la pérdida de energía propia del rodaje vital. No siempre lo consiguen, pero si su  intención final es brindaros lo último en actualidad, análisis y opinión sobre videojuegos, bien vale un poco de cemento cerebral, ¿no creéis jóvenes oyentes? Esta semana repasamos aquello que Valve ha decidido hacer con su nueva Steam Machine que nos gusta mucho, hacemos porrita de los GOTY de este año y comentamos alguna que otra noticia más de la industria. Pasamos a los análisis, o mejor dicho en el caso de Travol, a su experiencia con Arc Raiders. El título de Embark Studios parece que tiene muchas cosas buenas como para dejarlo pasar. Seguimos con The Game Kitchen y otra de esas obras de amor al pixel que tanto nos gustan. Ninja Gaiden Ragebound y JK son uno en los katazanos. Finalmente, cerramos como empezamos, con Valve, pero esta vez celebrando con RodoR los 27 años de Half-Life con la primera parte del dossier “Materiales Anómalos”, dedicado al desarrollo del título. Ahora a descansar. Echate la manta, ponte el podcast y observa los campos nevados. Esto último quizá no. Dadle al play!

Thanks to the likes of OpenAI, hardware manufacturers are scrambling to adjust prices amidst a shortage of RAM. As a result, things are about to become more expensive again! Unlike companies like Lenovo or PlayStation who seemingly bought stock in advance to help avoid price shock, Xbox appears to be ready to pass this one onto the consumer. Naturally, the "Xbox refugees" have turned their attention toward the Steam Machine which could fill a void in our gamer hearts. However, the Dukes find it hard to imagine a hero in this stock shortage story. Just how much will the Steam Machine be after Valve admits they will not be subsidizing and are just looking to make the device competitive? Will it look good beside a PlayStation 6 or next gen Xbox? We have a lot of questions, little answers, and even less money.

Should AI usage in games be disclosed or not? According to the CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, the answer is no because everybody is using it now. However, Valve feels differently and Steam still labels games that have used some AI during production -- including recent hit ARC Raiders.In a couple of years, gamers probably won't care -- for now, some do. So should we or should we not label this stuff?Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Happy Thanksgiving week! Just a few major stories to break down this week. FarCry is headed to television on FX with Rob Mac staring, which is the right type of chaos that show needs. Wicked went off to see the wizard with a big box office take, and it might not be, for good. Plus Rush Hour 4 is happening, and the reason why is pretty unusual. That and more on this weeks episode.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 2001's Pikmin. We set the game in its time and then spend a lot of time talking about putting Nintendo's spin on the RTS on a console. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The first few days Issues covered: a well-trod year, some MMO history, the GameCube at LucasArts, playing PC vs console, playing PC RTSes of the time, history with Pikmin, keeping an eye on Nintendo making and entering genre spaces, making a thing on controller first rather than jamming in a KBM game, Tim talks about his favorite controller again, inspirations, being embodied in the world vs the god's-eye view, the simplicity of the ship pieces and setup, Nintendo's open world game, meteors vs meteoroids, the puzzle RTS, making the environment more of the enemy than the creatures, lightly building an army, trading pikmin for time vs the heavy pieces, task-based challenges, spreading your army but limitations due to movement and level design, the Forest's Navel, moving to avatar-based RTSes and MOBAs, wanting to play the prototypes, forks in strategy games this year, the simplicity of verbs due to Olimar's centrality, limiting your verbs due to the controller, the cognitive overload of the PC RTS, diversions into Valve, where we're playing, letting go of accuracy and min/maxing, chunky buttons. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Calvin & Hobbes, Reed Knight, Halo: Combat Evolved, GTA III, Silent Hill 2, Ico, Civ III, Anachronox, Animal Crossing, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, MGS 2: Sons of Liberty, Final Fantasy X, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Super Smash Melee, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, Jak & Daxter, Game Boy Advance, Advance Wars, Max Payne, Black & White, Dark Age of Camelot, Everquest, Matt Firor, Zenimax Online Studios, Shigeru Miyamoto, Eternal Darkness, Baldur's Gate II, Andrew Kirmse, StarCraft, Blizzard, Halo Wars, Ensemble Studios, Microsoft, Homeworld, Paul Pierce, Haden Blackman, Behind the Magic, Starfighter (series), Republic Commando, Nintendo64, Warcraft (series), Legend of Zelda, Super Mario 64, Splatoon, Metroid Prime, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, GoldenEye, Nintendo Switch, Deadly Premonition, Blade Runner, Alien, Star Wars, X-Files, Twin Peaks, Breath of the Wild, The Witcher III, Assassin's Creed, Command & Conquer (series), Company of Heroes, Orcs Must Die, Dynasty Warriors (series), Calamity Nolan, Satoru Iwata, Peter Molyneux, Populous, Total Annihilation, DotA, Valve, IceFrog, Chet Faliszek, Wii, Chris Hecker, Outer Wilds, Far Cry 2, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Pikmin (or possibly something else) Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp  YouTube Discord  DevGameClub@gmail.com

It's a big week over here, full of visiting parents, cosmic philosophy, and at least one host wrestling with the concept of leftovers. Let's get into it. Real Life  Ben is officially in pre-Thanksgiving hype mode because his mom is coming to visit (hi Martha!). There may or may not be a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on the table—Ben is thinking about it, which is basically the same as committing, right? He's also deep into a full-spectrum Percy Jackson immersion program: watching the movie, reading the books, and watching the new show. You can check out the show's current score here: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/percy_jackson_and_the_olympians This leads into Ben's latest tech spiral: trying to explain Valve to explain Steam to explain their new announcements. Yes, we're talking Steam Machine, Steam Frame, Steam Controller… all the greatest hits of "Valve makes hardware for some reason." Devon is dealing with some extended-family logistics involving his sister-in-law and also took a firm stance this week: he hates Thanksgiving atmosphere. The vibes? Bad. The leftovers? Worse. Respect the honesty. Steven stayed indoors and educated himself by way of extremely good YouTube movie documentaries. First up: a look at how Jurassic Park pulled off its groundbreaking effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWtlIhVDl-M And then a deep dive into the behind-the-scenes of Interstellar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH6qRaOr8YY Not a bad way to spend a weekend. Future or Now  Devon brings us the most brain-melting story of the week: physicists have now mathematically proven that the Universe is not a simulation. A team from UBC Okanagan used Gödel's incompleteness theorem to demonstrate that reality requires a form of "non-algorithmic understanding"—something that no computational system can replicate. In other words: if this is a simulation, it's not one any computer could run.

Which is cool, unless you were really hoping to blame your life choices on a bored cosmic programmer. Book Club  Next Week We're jumping into a choose-your-own-adventure-style sci-fi story with "Welcome to the Medical Clinic at the Interplanetary Relay Station" by Caroline M. Yoachim. It's weird, funny, sharply written, and perfect for discussion. Read it here: https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/welcome-to-the-medical-clinic-at-the-interplanetary-relay-station/ This Week We're covering "City Grown From Seed" by Diana Dima. Content warning: domestic violence / domestic abuse. This one is dense, metaphorical, unsettling, and beautifully written. It explores generational trauma, identity, and rebirth through surreal botanical imagery. Definitely one of those stories that sticks with you long after reading.

Valve has provided the strongest indication yet that the Steam Machine price will be set with similar performance PCs in mind, and confirmed it has no plans to subsidize the hardware like console manufacturers do by eating a big loss on each unit sold.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit! As the holiday season kicks into full swing, our homes start working overtime, whether we're hosting guests, cooking festive meals, or just trying to keep the utility bills manageable. This week, we're here to help you get your biggest investment running smoothly – from laundry room prep and crucial plumbing repairs to dealing with smoke damage and rescuing your holiday budget. - Laundry Room Maintenance: We discuss preparing your laundry room for the influx of guest linens and cozy sweaters by sharing smart maintenance tips for washers and dryers. - Safe and Effective Cleaning Solutions: Bruce Yako, the CEO of Jaws International, joined us to explain how their Just Add Water system uses reusable bottles and concentrated, EPA Safer Choice-certified pods to provide streak-free cleaning while reducing plastic waste. - Holiday Budget Plan: We offer a Holiday Budget Rescue Plan, suggesting simple actions like lowering your thermostat by a degree or two to save on heating costs and switching traditional holiday lights to LEDs, which use up to 80% less energy. - Water Valve Precautions: As a crucial safety measure, homeowners should locate and test the main water valve to ensure it works properly, and always remember to turn off the water supply valves to the washing machine when leaving home for an extended period to prevent burst hoses.   Q & A: - Jackie from Michigan is converting an old tub into a tile shower and needs to know how to handle the pipe that previously went to the tub faucet. We advise that she cannot just cap the pipe; she must install a shower valve to get water to the shower head, and should also include a pressure balance valve to maintain constant water temperature. - Richard from Illinois has dealt with a damp spot in his brick chimney for 50 years, despite having previously replaced the flashing and chimney liner. We suggest that the highly porous brick is likely absorbing heavy rainfall, and he should apply a vapor-permeable masonry sealer to slow absorption. - Brenda's 1908 Kansas home has crumbling poured concrete basement walls, and she cannot lift the heavy block house to replace them. We stress that because this is a significant structural issue, she must hire a structural engineer who will design the precise fix, create specifications for contractors, and inspect the repair upon completion. - Jack emailed us about copper pipes in his apartment buildings that are developing pin holes and leaking. This deterioration is caused by highly acidic water, so he should consider replacing the damaged copper sections with PEX piping, which better resists acidity.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help! Call the show 24/7 at 888-MONEY-PIT (888-666-3974) or post your question here: https://www.moneypit.com/ask. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As was originally reported, Xbox brought out a Partner Preview in November. It was chockful of everything strange like a co-op alien shop simulator or a thuggish rabbit beating up baddies to more traditional first person horror titles. The catch was that every game we saw throughout was a Play Anywhere title, a program that many of Xbox's players still yearn for the platform to leverage more. All in all, the Dukes enjoyed the show, especially given it dropped ahead of the biggest show of the year in the Game Awards where announcements are typically prioritized. Beyond that, we dive deep into the Valve rumor mill. Half Life 3 is everywhere! Is it finally happening and are the Dukes believers? We get into that plus updated thoughts on the Steam Machine now that we've had some time to digest the triple-whammy Valve hit us with last week.

I checked out the Atari 50 Namco DLC and was pleasantly surprised about how well it treated the Atari 2600 Pac-Man port as the programming masterpiece that it is. Valve has announced three new pieces of Steam Hardware to come out in early 2026 - a new Steam Machine, a new Steam Controller, and the successor to the Index VR device, the Steam Frame. Then we talk to Rob about Atari 50 and finally watching the end of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection "dokumentary" and who was left out of the stories.

Is Sony Ditching its PC Strategy For Valve's Steam Machine l The Game Awards GOTY Predictions Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PSTrophyroom Discord: https://discord.gg/wPNp3kC BSYK: https://tinyurl.com/3e24bn7y Store: https://tinyurl.com/ktbsdw3s This week on The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast hosts Teegan, Kyle, and Joe talk about... This week delivers one of the biggest news drops of the year across PlayStation, Xbox, and the wider gaming industry. We break down PlayStation's massive Black Friday 2025 deals, including $100 off PS5 consoles (Standard, Digital, and Pro), major discounts on PSVR2, PlayStation Portal, DualSense controllers, Pulse headsets, and more. We also cover the huge PlayStation Plus sale, plus deep cuts on hundreds of digital PS5 and PS4 games—just in time for holiday shopping. But that's only the start. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is stumbling hard out of the gate. UK physical sales are down 61% compared to Black Ops 6, Steam concurrency is far below expectations, and Activision appears to be quietly hiding player-count data. We look at what's causing the drop—AI art controversy, campaign reception, franchise fatigue—and what it means for Call of Duty going forward. We also dive into the Game Awards 2025 nominations, where indies dominate the field. With Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades 2, and Hollow Knight: Silksong going head-to-head with Death Stranding 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, this year's GOTY race might be the most competitive ever. Meanwhile, an Xbox insider claims PlayStation is pulling back from PC releases, contradicting earlier reports of day-and-date launches. With Steam Machines, cross-buy rumors, and shifting exclusivity strategies across the industry, we break down what's real—and what's noise. Plus rapid-fire FLASH NEWS: – Mafia: The Old Country gets a major free update – PS5 Welcome Hub adds stats, seasonal backgrounds & new widgets – VatiVidya announces an official Elden Ring lore book – Twisted Metal renewed for Season 3 – A massive Ghost of Yōtei update arrives next week with New Game+, new vendors, new cosmetics, replayable content, stat tracking, armor upgrades, Photo Mode enhancements, accessibility options, and more If you love PlayStation, industry analysis, and real-time gaming news breakdowns, this episode is absolutely packed.

PlayStation 5 has officially turned five, giving us much to reflect upon. Has the console lived up to its potential, left folks disappointed, or fallen somewhere in between? We get into that -- alongside new Sony financials that paint an admittedly rosy picture -- before getting into the meat of our show. Two new Sony-aligned games have been revealed, but they've left many potential players puzzled, as neither offering is actually on PlayStation hardware. For starters, NCSoft's long-rumored Horizon MMO is real. It's called Steel Frontiers and it actually looks really nice. But it's only on PC and mobile. Meanwhile, a new Ratchet & Clank game has also been showcased, an online arena shooter called Ranger Rumble. But it too eschews PS5 and PS4, instead going straight to mobile platforms only. What gives? Why does Sony seem half-in on these off-platform initiatives, all the while neglecting their core audience that could give these respective titles the boost they need? Is it time for them to break old habits and embrace a more cogent multiplatform direction that centers PlayStation first and foremost? Plus: Sony's new 27" gaming monitor has people intrigued, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Spirits is getting another closed test, Elden Ring: Nightreign is receiving some much-needed DLC, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What do we think of Valve's new Steam Machine PC-console hybrid? In any given game's menus, where should subtitle options be nestled: General, Audio, or Graphics? Does ARC Raiders success potentially benefit Marathon? Is Dustin wielding his power over Brad in unsavory ways?
