Podcasts about video games

After two full days of Pokémon XP, we sit down and talk about our favorite parts of the "first ever Pokémon convention" here in San Francisco. This includes thoughts on the Pokémon Center, the Pin Rally, some of the shows and booths. We also talk about some of the events the week of Pokémon XP with early previews and some behind the scenes. Disclosure, The Pokémon Company International paid for my flight and accommodations for Pokémon XP. TIMESTAMPS00:00:00-Introduction00:02:30-Pokémon XP Thoughts 01:38:10-CreditsLINKS

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! So.. we (Alex & Jules) found ourselves in some heat over our video games after kids take from Friday, so we had to get a guy's POV.. and you guys? He may have even HOTTER takes. Turns out Harrison was a GAMER gamer back in the day (18-hour Grand Theft Auto Sundays.. we have questions), but as a dad he has rules: there are more productive ways to decompress, never let it eat family time, and play when everyone's asleep. Then Jules asks the question that will surely put us back in the comments: are video games just Cocomelon for adults?! But before ALL that: it's officially HYROX race week for the dads (we're heading to DC later this week!) We settle the great seasonal debate: when does summer ACTUALLY end? Alex says Labor Day, Harrison says September 21st because "the sun does not lie." Plus Saturn Return (why your life flips upside down between 26 and 29.. planets, maybe!) and Tinx's 3-articles-a-day challenge. We're in. On the home front: Tate had her first gymnastics class

FEATURING: (00:02:10) Switch 2 is about to get more expensive.(00:14:15) Listener Mail: Why not just make smaller games?(01:02:26) Launching early for success on Switch.(01:38:42) Nintendo and their soul.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Chipped beef on toast, scalloped potatoes with the cornflake crunch, Pong, and the Trash-80. We're firing up the home computer and video game boom of the '70s and '80s. We talk Atari, Intellivision, Commodore 64, Apple II, Nintendo, Pac-Man, Pitfall, stacks of quarters at the arcade, and the infamous E.T. game. Plus, why the watered-down games at home made the arcade that much more exciting. We talk about word processors, electric typewriters, scientific calculators, handheld football games, old-school cash registers, and the simple joy of pushing a button and hearing that click. Then it's broken joysticks on Christmas morning, toys without batteries, and the bleak day-after-Christmas return line. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with Trash-80s, Atari cartridges, computer clubs, retro toys, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, and a time when Pong really was enough. We'll Talk Shawtly!

In episode 587 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers point out that right now might actually be the best time to be an indie developer. They dig into why smaller, faster games are resonating with players, what the data from How Many Dudes tells them about market dynamics and visibility, and how studios can build sustainable businesses without burning themselves out in the process. "How Many Dudes?": https://howmanydudes.com"How Many Dudes?"

How much technology should kids really be using at school?

This episode examines the declining male labor force participation rate in America, which has fallen to its lowest level since 1948, with roughly one in three men no longer working or seeking work. While mainstream explanations point to manufacturing decline, an aging population, and the opioid crisis, host John Odermatt argues that a decade of DEI policies has systematically pushed men—especially white men—out of industries across corporate America, academia, media, and tech. Drawing on Jacob Savage's viral Compact Magazine article "The Lost Generation" and survey data from hiring managers themselves, the episode presents sector-by-sector evidence of documented hiring discrimination. Odermatt shares his own experience of being pushed out of corporate America and reframes the crisis not as a story of victimhood, but as a call for men to build income streams they control—through entrepreneurship, skilled trades, and commission-based work. The episode closes with a challenge to listeners: stop building your life on a foundation someone else can pull out from under you.

On this episode of Normies Like Us, your hosts ditch the main topic and catch up on all the movies, TV shows, video games, comics, books, and general pop culture nonsense that's been keeping them busy. What hidden gems have we discovered? What overhyped releases left us disappointed? And, most importantly, Whatcha been into lately? No homework. No main topic. Just friends hanging out and talking about the stuff they love. So grab a seat, catch up with your favorite Normies, and maybe walk away with a few new recommendations for your watchlist!

Game server hosting is the layer nobody thinks about until it breaks. In this episode, Kalie Moore sits down with Max Podkidkin, Co-Founder and CEO of BisectHosting, to unpack how a Minecraft server that went dark for three days turned into a 15-year infrastructure business serving hundreds of thousands of customers across more than 140 countries. Max put the first hardware on a credit card, recruited a co-founder he met in his own Minecraft community, and built the company to nearly 100 employees without ever raising outside capital. They get into what those early years actually looked like, including hiding a laptop on a cart at a factory job to answer support tickets, the two years he and Andrew worked together over text before meeting face to face, and how a US and UK split gave them 24/7 coverage with a team of two.The conversation also covers how the hosting business really works, from the economics of renting out resources to why running a server at home costs more than most people think. Max explains why BisectHosting has turned down repeated acquisition offers while private equity consolidates the market around them, how the team gets into a studio's Discord and pre-tests server files before working with a game studio, and what 15 years of hosting communities has taught him about why modding and UGC keep games alive long after launch. He also shares the studio's approach to AI, including Biko, the assistant built into their server panel that has cut support tickets by double digits without a single person losing their job.Big thanks to Heroic Labs for making this episode possible.

On this episode of Random Encounter, we're talking about the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn…Yeah, we're sure that you've heard the marketing meme before, but here at RPGFan, FFXIV is one of the most beloved RPGs of all time (At least, the 2.0 version. 1.0 was a notorious disaster). And now that it has been released on the Switch 2, we figured this was the perfect time to take a deep dive into this critically acclaimed MMORPG (okay, fine, we'll stop) and see why it is so loved. Mike and Caitlin, two of the most passionate FFXIV players on the site, are here to try to convince Jono to play it. Will they succeed?Featuring: Jono Logan, Caitlin Argyros, and Mike Salbato; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Final Fantasy XIV – Review Journal 1Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – 1.

CannCon kicks things off with a genuinely sweet detour, sharing his 17th anniversary and the tribute video his wife made, before the guys steer hard back into manly territory with talk of keeping your nuts warm in a fifty dollar coffee mug. Football is nearly here, so the crew serves up a tightly curated highlight reel: Harrison Butker launching a 69-yard field goal with room to spare, a debate over where field goals are actually measured from, and a jaw-dropping one-handed high school grab that draws a celebration flag but no pass interference. There is also fatherly wisdom about sons leaving the nest and Alpha's contingency plan for his kid crossing the southern border. The centerpiece is a Marine Corps slang quiz with Cam playing the clueless civilian, decoding scuttlebutt, pogue, Smokey Bear, and Semper Gumby. It wraps with a "video games are getting too realistic" segment and a wildly un-PC vintage commercial someone wants clipped for Badlands Daily.

FEATURING: (00:04:36) Retroactive - Sonic Mania.

If you have ever stood in the doorway wondering whether your child is spending too much time gaming, this conversation is for you.This week I am joined by Andrew Fishman, a licensed clinical social worker who has spent more than a decade working with autistic kids and teens and is the author of Parenting a Gamer. We talk about why autistic kids and teens with autism are drawn to video games at nearly twice the rate of their peers, what those games actually provide that the real world often does not, and how to tell the difference between a healthy hobby and a genuine problem. Andrew also shares practical strategies for making the hardest part of gaming, the moment it is time to turn it off, go more smoothly for both of you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why autistic kids play video games at almost twice the rate of allistic kids, and why that is not automatically a bad thing;What video games offer that the real world often does not: predictability, fairness, and a social space free of eye contact and unspoken rules;Why the transition from a preferred activity to a non-preferred one triggers so many autism meltdowns, and a simple planning shift (like the "no new game after 8:30" rule) that reduces the conflict;The two signs Andrew looks for when assessing whether a child's gaming has become a genuine problem, as opposed to a hobby that looks intense from the outside; andHow to build respect for your child's gaming world, even if you do not understand it yourself, and how to use what hooks them there as a bridge into new interests like art, music, or coding.Resources mentioned:Parenting a Gamer: Help Your Child Build Healthy Habits, Make Positive Choices, and Find Balance in Virtual Worlds.Schedule a consultation with Lisa

Australia gave the world pioneering adventures, cult classics and global hits,but much of its gaming history has been left out of the story.
