Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

We have a jam-packed episode filled with industry news this week, among them being the fact that we are completely inundated with new game releases. Your hosts get philosophical (and a bit political!) as we cover this new phenomenon and try to map out what this means for the future of video games as a medium. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Doug Bowser stepping down as the president of Nintendo of America, updates for Mario Kart World, GBA Nintendo Classics, and Drag x Drive, the huge right-wing and Saudi Arabian buyout of EA and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

On this week's episode of Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie get real (and laugh a lot) about how often they wash their hair — and we're not sure we should have admitted this! But that's just the start. We dig into these hot topics:Sibling + Birthday Party Dilemma: Is it rude or smart to ask a parent if you can bring your other child to a party when only one child was invited? The internet is divided, and we've got opinions.Video Games & Kids' Brains: A study of ~2,000 children found that kids who played video games for 3+ hours a day scored higher on tests of impulse control and working memory than kids who never played. We debate whether we'll let our own kids game and where we draw the line.Food Dyes & Hidden Risks: Why are so many parents unaware of synthetic dyes in candy and snacks? Dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, etc., are linked to behavioral issues in some kids — and we have thoughts!!The Biggest Longevity Predictor — It's Not Diet or Exercise: After tracking people for more than 80 years, one of the longest-running studies found that the strongest predictors of a long, healthy life is something that might surprise you.Tune in for laughter, honesty, and actionable takeaways on motherhood, health, and doing our best in the messy middle.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Released towards the end of the Nintendo 64's lifespan in 2000, Perfect Dark was the culmination of several years of FPS development on consoles.  After Rare released Goldeneye in 1997, they wanted to take another spin at the formula, but this time with an original IP.  Enter Perfect Dark, featuring many of the cornerstones of FPS design that defined Goldeneye, but far more refined.The game featured more varied level design, a ridiculous selection of weapons, improved enemy AI (with a wider range of reactions to damage) and more advanced scripting.  No longer tied down to realism, Rare was free to throw in sci-fi weapons and surreal alien environments.  And this extended to the story as well, which went to some absolutely wild places.But for all its improvements upon Goldeneye, is there a fatal flaw at the heart of N64 FPS design?  Or is it just an awkward middle child, playing in the shadows of both the PC behemoths and the specter of Halo?On this episode, we discuss:Level DesignPerfect Dark retains the mission structure of Goldeneye, with multiple objectives set in short and sharp missions.  Do the improved and better explained mission objectives bring a clarity to the mission design that Goldeneye lacked, or is it still confusing and incoherent?GunsPerfect Dark has an absolute plethora of weapons, from guided rocket launchers to wallhack alien sniper rifles.  Does its wide variety of weapons provide a deep and replayable moment to moment gameplay experience, or is it undone by its identity as a hitscan FPS?EnemiesMost of the enemies you face in Perfect Dark are regular humans, who die in a single headshot.  What does the game do to add challenge and variety to the FPS hitscanning experience of clicking on heads, and is it way too easy with a mouse and keyboard?We answer these questions and many more on the 134th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherPerfect Dark OST: Grant Kirkhope—What was your favourite level in Perfect Dark?  Are there any indie FPS games coming out (or already out) that are evocative of its design?  Did you find there was anything at all remotely redeeming about the story?  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!

Nicole Jones-Dion, a screenwriter, director, and producer, shared her unconventional path into filmmaking, beginning in the world of video games and comics before moving into film. Known for her work on projects like Tekken 2, Dracula: The Dark Prince, and the SyFy thriller They Found Hell, she has built a career in genre storytelling that blends sci-fi, horror, and action. Her persistence paid off after writing more than fifteen spec scripts and seizing opportunities to rewrite and adapt existing material, which she says makes up most of Hollywood screenwriting.Nicole's approach emphasizes discipline, structure, and character-driven storytelling, ensuring her projects are both creative and marketable. She also found success with crowdfunding, raising nearly $20,000 for her short horror film Debris, which explored the legend of a cursed samurai sword. The campaign's popularity proved the power of a strong concept and led to festival recognition. With her directorial debut Stasis and other projects in development, Nicole continues to explore stories that challenge audiences while entertaining them. Her journey demonstrates the importance of adaptability, hard work, and never stopping the pursuit of growth as a filmmaker.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
