In this episode, I dive into the excitement around Valve's newly announced Steam Machine and what it could mean for the future of handheld gaming. I talk about the rise of hybrid console–portable systems, why shorter and more interactive games fit better into my life now, and why the GTA VI delay honestly doesn't bother me. I also break down the controversy surrounding Rockstar's recent employee firings and share my thoughts on the gaming community's obsession with nostalgia. It's a mix of tech talk, gaming culture, and personal reflections on how I play today.   Finally after a work injury kept me home for three months(late last year), I dove into music production, inspired by Marc Rebillet's improvisational style and the gear he uses.   In this episode, I share the audio from my first beat video using this gear.   Thoughts?

This week we're breaking down fresh showcases and early impressions of Cursed Companions, The Time I Have Left, Altered Alma, and more—each bringing something bold, stylish, or downright weird to the world of video games. From surreal time-based adventures to neon-drenched sci-fi chaos, we're covering the standout concepts that prove indie studios continue to push gaming forward in ways the big publishers never could. We'll talk about what makes these games unique, why indie hype is stronger than ever, and which titles might quietly become the next cult classics in video games.

In this holiday episode, Melanie Hempe and Dr. Stacey unpack the #1 screen mistake parents make at Christmas: giving in and gifting devices. They reveal the hidden blind spots that cause even the best parents to rationalize smartphones and gaming systems as “good gifts,” especially during the emotional pressure of the holidays.Together, they explain why teaching teens to “use social media wisely” isn't the solution, why willpower can't beat persuasive tech, and how guilt drives parents to hope their kids can handle technology they're not developmentally ready for. Melanie and Dr. Stacey offer simple, practical alternatives: what to give instead of screens, how to plan a healthier holiday, and how to lead with confidence rather than emotion.A timely, encouraging conversation to help families avoid Christmas regret and give their kids the gift of a healthier, screen-strong childhood.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

RAM prices are skyrocketing, are you ready? CD Projekt Red has a release schedule for its next Witcher Trilogy, Clair Obscur did even better than we all thought and Gamestop fights back against haters. Plus Zootopia laid waste to the 2025 box office, Netflix went to the upside down and Predator isnt stuck in the badlands anymore.

Warner Bros. could get sold to the Ellisons at (Paramount Skydance) with the Saudis going in on it, and the leftwing media is NOT happy. They're already having a hard time coping with Bari Weiss being in charge of CBS News, and this could potentially put her in charge of CNN as well. OOF.Another contender is Netflix, and James Cameron isn't happy about that one because he thinks that will be the end of theatrical.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.

In episode 549 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers dig into how short-form video fits into indie game marketing and why it should be part of development from the start. They talk about tools, storytelling, and the strange logic of YouTube Shorts and TikTok, then get into what engagement metrics actually mean and how to use them without overthinking it. The conversation focuses on experimenting, learning from the data, and using community feedback to shape both your game and your marketing.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:25 Introduction and Welcome02:47 Creating Engaging Short-Form Content05:34 Tools and Techniques for Video Editing08:39 Understanding YouTube Shorts11:50 Crafting Compelling Stories in Shorts14:39 Experimentation and Iteration in Content Creation21:19 Engagement Strategies for Video Launches26:21 Understanding Video Performance Metrics28:38 The Importance of Stick Rate32:14 Algorithm Behavior and Video Longevity40:31 Translating Engagement into Sales44:38 Engagement Challenges with YouTube Shorts46:49 Analyzing Video Performance and Viewer Retention49:07 Understanding YouTube's Algorithm and Game Discovery54:11 The Importance of Video Structure and Viewer Engagement59:44 Identifying Signals of Success in Game Development01:03:46 Community Insights and Sharing Data for GrowthTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness. If you want to get more involved in the Butterscotch community, hop into our DISCORD server at discord.gg/bscotch and say hello! Submit questions at https://www.bscotch.net/podcast, disclose all of your secrets to podcast@bscotch.net, and send letters, gifts, and tasty treats to https://bit.ly/bscotchmailbox. Finally, if you'd like to support the show and buy some coffee FOR Butterscotch, head over to https://moneygrab.bscotch.net. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode, host David Taylor dives into one of the most eventful stretches the Fortnite Creative / UEFN ecosystem has seen in months. Epic has rolled out a wave of major updates — from monetization changes to discovery shifts — and today we unpack what they mean for creators, studios, and the future of the platform.David is joined by two fantastic guests. Chad Mustard, COO of JOGO Studios, returns to the show after another breakout year as one of the top 10 developers on Fortnite by total plays. Chad brings a studio-level perspective on building hit experiences, navigating updates, and scaling inside a fast-evolving ecosystem. He's joined by Jon Jungemann, better known as SleightedSloth, a leading creator in the Tycoon genre and one of the most thoughtful voices on systems design, monetization, and the economics of UEFN.Together, the group breaks down the rise of Steal the Brainrot and what that breakout moment signals for developers — from production trends to player behavior to what “success” looks like in today's marketplace. They also explore the wave of M&A activity beginning to emerge inside Fortnite Creative and what kinds of deals are actually happening behind the scenes.From there, the conversation shifts to the biggest structural changes Epic has introduced: in-island item sales (and why they might be the single biggest unlock for creators to date), the rollout of UA Rewards and Paid Campaigns, and the latest adjustments to Discovery. We dig into how these tools reshape studio strategy, how developers are adapting their designs, and what all of this means for long-term sustainability on the platform.We'd like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!

Gen Z workers aren't looking for a boss -- they want a collaborator. And they want to work on their own terms. Being late and wearing flipflops is cool. And you just need to accept this is who they are, boomer.Because of these stereotypes, Gen Z is now woefully underemployed. But did they perpetuate it, or did boomer execs and consultants?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.

Watch on YouTube » Read this newsletter » I played (too many) videogames in college and often sank a lot of time into "character creation" – where you get to pick what kind of character you'll build for the game. Game developers knew players would obsess over getting it "right," so they built in something called a respec — a way to wipe your build, reassign your points, and start fresh without losing your progress. Turns out, businessa and life can work the same way. Today, I share how I've been re-specing my own habits, business, and direction. You might be overdue for a reset yourself.

Like many of us, the urban planning strategy game "SimCity" was an obsession for Diana Regen growing up. When she published YouTube videos about a modern incarnation -- "Cities: Skylines" and its sequel -- she grew a loyal audience around the games. But she was more interested in using these sims for social commentary about urban design, capitalism, politics, and absurdist online culture. One problem: Her audience HATED it. That is until one of her TikToks about corporate cities went viral and inspired her to return to YouTube to expand the work into robust video essays. These days, Diana works full time as a video creator, covering a wide range of topics and painting with all sorts of surrealist brushes: video games, travel videos, memes, archival footage, and AI-generated voices of historical figures saying the darndest things. Diana sits down with Matt to discuss her singular creative style and how she overcame the limitations of social video platforms that only reward you for doing the same things over and over.

The creators of Stranger Things, the Duffer brothers, admit that they didn't play Dungeons & Dragons as they were pretty young during its heydey in the 1980s. And... it kinda shows. But Dungeons & Dragons wasn't supposed to be so central to the show, and now that it is... they're under a microscope to get it right.But IS Stranger Things getting the details about 80s pop culture right or not? Well, it's a mixed bag. So let's talk about this and some other mistakes that should've probably been caught given the high profile of the series.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.

Amazon was busted using experimental AI English dubs for the anime 'Banana Fish,' and the results are hilariously awful. After getting called out, Amazon seemingly removed them without much fanfare. AI critics point to these dubs as a reason to avoid using AI for voiceovers, but it's only a matter of time until the technology improves.
