The boys manage to complete not one, not half of one, but TWO video game brackets in honor of March Madness this episode. The trick to actually accomplishing this was using entirely pre-made brackets to do 90% of the work for us. As a result, you get two heated discussions that you're not going to want to miss.

Ken also shares why and how hard it was that he had to press pause on his upcoming Character demo.  Also we hear more about how sick Jozlyn really was, how she still had to power through a Director call back, reschedule a voiceover client meeting and manage her family & biz from bed!   Lloyd was singing too much due to Epic reasons, we might of lost Sandy in her booth because it was so dark in there, why are we crying at kids movies, Jozlyn's kid bought latest GTA (he's 11!), what we will not do for our 1st kids verse your 3rd and why is Sandy trying to cover butts in her class!  Join us at the Chaos table for some real conversation about life outside the booth and beyond the camera!Hi thx for listening in on the Creative Chaos conversation!

In 1998 Bioware changed the gaming landscape with Baldur's Gate, a Dungeons and Dragons inspired adventure.  Taking cues from second edition D&D and the many stories written about it, Bioware wrote a low level adventure that jammed everything they could find inside it.  They attempted to copy mage spells directly from the manual, and even added in famous characters like Drizzt. It was exactly what the fans had been waiting for.  Not only were they able to see everything come to life, the game used the radical real time with pause system, allowing combat to flow far more freely than other turn- based games before it.  Fights were fast and frequently deadly, adding a thrill to RPG combat, even if it came at the cost of precision and control.But CRPGs are now a dime a dozen.  Not only are there later games in the series, Baldur's Gate now has to compete against Pathfinder, Warhammer and Divinity, to name a few.  With all the advancements in tech, in UIs, in skill systems, can the original Baldur's Gate really compete?  Has it stood the test of time, or has it been made obsolete by the wave of modern RPGS that came in its wake?On this episode, we discuss:ExplorationMuch of the early-mid game of Baldur's Gate 1 is spent exploring the environment around the towns and keeps that are dotted around the Sword's Coast.  Is this exploration enjoyable to engage with intrinsically, and does it provide enough extrinsic rewards to motivate you to continue?CombatBaldur's Gate's combat is scrappy, disorganised and messy.  There is a high level of vulnerability on both sides, spells have unclear areas of effect, and high rolls can produce instant-death in many circumstances.  Does this combat system lead to  dynamic and novel encounters that allow for tactical depth, or does it just encourage reloading until you get the outcome that you want?Character CustomisationBaldur's Gate is a very complex game under the hood, but those calculations, and level up decisions are mostly hidden from the player.  Does the game give sufficient options to the player to customise their character with skill choices and gear, or is it all predetermined the moment you first select your character? We answer these questions and many more on the 128th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast? Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherBaldurs Gate OST - Michael Hoenig Are you meant to eventually multiclass everyone to a mage in DND?  Is Sanctuary really as overpowered as it seems?  When will you play Baldur's Gate 2, you pair of sniveling cowards?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!You can support the show monetarily on our Buy me a Coffee Page!

The Warrenton, MO native has gone from the stage to the recording booth, bringing life to animated characters like Marvel's Spider-Man, Japanese anime fan favorites including “Sailor Moon” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” and a host of video games across several genres.

Ever since the podcast started in 2021, I always knew I'd do an episode about Unpacking (Witch Beam, 2021) someday. John Fogerty sang that someday never comes, but here we are, and Unpacking is on the show! Unpacking is a great example of using the interactivity of video games to tell a story in a unique, gameplay-forward way. Through the ONE SIMPLE TRICK of unpacking boxes and organizing your stuff when you move, a life story is told, and it's fantastic. Listen in for the deep-dive conversation!

Are video games just distractions, or can they be powerful learning tools? In this episode of Education Monsters, we sit down with Robby, a gameplay programmer and teacher from Québec, to challenge the stigma around gaming. Robby shares his journey from growing up as a gamer to making it his career, and how he reassures parents that video games can foster creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork—when used mindfully. He also discusses how he'd approach gaming as a parent and what it takes to break into the gaming industry.

Pets. They're the best part of living! We love them, we care for them, they eat us out of house and home. Some people love cats. Some people love dogs. Some people love greasy cephalopods on fire. Some people love dinosaurs that spit lightning. Today, we set out to decide who the people love most and "which Monster Hunter monster would make the best pet?" Todd is bringing the heat. Matt is bringing the skulls of his enemies. Kyle is bringing the coolest combination of words you've ever heard.

This week we got a bunch of news, we review Sanderson's Top Ten games, and Peterson reviews A Game About Digging a Hole

The widespread infection of roughly four million virtual characters all started with a giant snake demon. In 2005, the massively multiplayer online video game World Of Warcraft introduced a special event raid, where groups of players could team up to fight a giant snake demon named Hakkar the Soulflayer. Hakkar would cast a spell called “Corrupted Blood” on players, which would slowly whittle down their health.The effect of the spell was only supposed to last inside the raid arena—when players returned to the main world of the game, the spell would dissipate. But thanks to a software glitch, that wasn't the case if the player had a pet companion. When the pets returned to the main world, they started infecting players and non-playable characters with the Corrupted Blood spell. If the player wasn't powerful enough to heal themselves, they would die and erupt in a fountain of blood before turning into a skeleton.What followed was a virtual pandemic that startlingly resembled today's COVID-19 pandemic, from the spread, human behavior, and cultural response. Blizzard, the developer of the game, wanted players to social distance. Some players listened, but others flouted the rules, traveling freely and spreading the disease with them. Conspiracy theories formed about how the virus was engineered by Blizzard on purpose, and others placed blame on players with pets as the cause of the outbreak, mirroring the racist anti-Asian attacks and rhetoric surrounding COVID-19 today. Coincidentally, two epidemiologists, Nina Fefferman and Eric Lofgren, were there to witness the World Of Warcraft outbreak unfold. They studied and used the incident to model human behavior in response to a pandemic. Their findings were published in The Lancet in 2007. Many of their observations came to pass in 2020 when COVID-19 appeared. Today, we're revisiting a 2021 conversation that SciFri producer Dee Peterschmidt had with Eric Molinsky, host of the podcast Imaginary Worlds, who reported this story for his show. He talks about the epidemiologists who studied the outbreak and how it prepared them for the public responses to COVID-19.Universe of Art is hosted and produced by Dee Peterschmidt, who also wrote the music.

Sloan Foundation.Do you have science-inspired art you'd like to share with us for a future episode? Send us an email or a voice memo touniverse@sciencefriday.com.

In this episode, host Niko Vuori interviews Justin Stolzenberg, co-founder of Metica, a startup aiming to revolutionize gaming analytics through AI-driven insights and personalized experiences. Founded by ex-King and ex-Apple employees, Metica's approach is a unique combination of King's iterative, hyper-data-driven approach and Apple's high-polish culture. The company recently announced their $9 million seed round. The episode covers the challenges of launching in the saturated analytics market and how Metica differentiates itself by focusing on actionable insights rather than just data collection. The conversation also explores the role of AI and machine learning in gaming, the importance of personalization, and the future aspirations of Metica in the gaming industry.We'd also like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!
