Is Metroid Prime 4 Worth It for the Busy Gamer?   Date: January 4, 2026 Podcast: Comm Talk by Geek Devotions Series: Everyday Gamer's Review Episode Summary Since 2007, gamers have been waiting for Metroid Prime 4. In this inaugural "Everyday Gamer Review," we look at this massive release from the perspective of a busy person with a day job and a backlog. We dive into the "beautiful visualizations" of the maps, the transition of the classic Metroidvania style into a first-person shooter, and whether the game's systems are too complicated for someone with only a few hours a week to play. We also tackle common community complaints regarding "bland" maps and the notorious scanning mechanic to see if they truly hinder the experience. Whether you are a die-hard fan or a casual player on the fence, this episode helps you decide if it's time to buy a new copy or start with Metroid Prime 1 Remastered instead.   Key Topics & Chapter Markers 00:00 The 17-year wait for Metroid Prime 4 00:28 What is an "Everyday Gamer Review"?   01:04 Story Setup: Samus and the psychic planet 01:31 Visuals and Performance: Switch 1 vs. Switch 2 02:14 Tutorial Mode: Is the game easy to learn? 02:52 The Sub-Menu: Tracking powers and controls 03:07 The Save System: Managing "real life" and save stations 04:58 Addressing the Critics: The Overworld and scanning mechanics 06:45 Final Verdict & Recommendations Call to Action Join the Community!

Hi again.Yes, it's another hour-long video.No, I'm not sorry about it.This one is simple on purpose. Just birds, wind, leaves doing their thing, water minding its business. No dramatic crescendos. No “you are now entering a portal” energy. Just the kind of sounds that remind your nervous system it doesn't have to be on high alert all the time.Long before playlists and apps and productivity hacks, people paid attention to this stuff naturally. Not to optimize anything. Just to sit, listen, and feel less alone in their own head. Nature didn't need to convince anyone it was healing. It just was.This hour of natural soundscape is here if you need a place to land.To study without silence feeling too loud.To nap without your thoughts turning into a meeting.To meditate without trying to achieve anything impressive.There's solid research showing that natural sounds can help regulate stress hormones, stabilize mood, and support focus by giving the brain something gentle and predictable to rest against. But honestly, you don't need a study to know that birds don't yell at you or demand immediate responses. That alone helps.If you're listening while resting or meditating, try this:Breathe in slowly through your nose.Let the exhale take a little longer than the inhale.No counting required. Just let the breath stretch itself out.You don't need to “do” anything while this plays. Let it be background. Let it be foreground. Let it be something you forget is even on until you realize you feel a bit softer than before.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/btb-100Yes folks it's here. Episode #100!! It's been an incredible time, 100 episodes over six years. Thank you so much to all our amazing guests and listeners for being with us on this journey. It's been rewarding, inspiring and many other things. And it feels like we're just getting started. 2026 is going to be full of great guests and more adventures. But for now sit back with a tipple of your choice and enjoy Sir John Hegarty counting down the greatest billboards of all time, as chosen by the people that write them. Our guests comprise conservatively over 2000 years of experience in the industry so in our humble opinion look nowhere else for your top 100.BBH features many times, so we took the opportunity to discuss BBH past and present with Sir John. Levi's was obviously prominent with the black sheep billboard at number 20. We got behind the story of when the world zigs, zag. Plus a funny bonus story told about the Richard Avedon campaign and how the scrawled headlines came about after Heg told art director Martin Galton his original typography was ‘fucking shit'. Martin left the review in a fit of rage and returned minutes later with three hand written headlines and slung them onto Heg's desk. And the rest is history.We did the no logo debate, discussing whether brands have gone too far in reductive executions.We chatted about how originating a campaign is like launching a rocket - it's the first 6 seconds that count. We went over long running campaigns such as Silk Cut, Economist and Specsavers and pondered why there's a lack of these any more.And of course Sir John revealed the winner.It's an immense collection of work and one sure to fuel debate. Feel free to agree / whoop from the sidelines / add heart emojis. Or rage at what isn't in there / or what was actually a press ad / or what actually ran or not?! It's a brilliant way to sign off the year.A few final thanks to Jon Jones for being a starDitto Rob. And of course huge appreciation for our sponsors:Bauer Media OutdoorView2FillSuper OptimalGAS Music

After the massive breakthrough of Night One—two funerals, the collapsing skyscraper, the dissolving of old fears—I walked into Night Two believing the work was done. I felt complete, emptied, reborn. I even considered not drinking at all. But Ayahuasca loves to laugh at certainty, and the shamans gently suggested a tiny “check-in” dose. Just a sip. Just enough to see if anything remained. Fifteen minutes later, the medicine hit me with the force of a spiritual hurricane. What followed was not enlightenment. Not beauty. Not cosmic revelation. It was overstimulation on a scale I had never experienced—violent fractals, exploding geometry, unraveling mandalas, and the infamous Transformer-Mickey-Mouse-Jiffy-Pop-Clown-Show that appears when the mind begins to collapse under its own fear. My nervous system short-circuited. My breath vanished. My intention dissolved. Everything became too loud, too fast, too much. And the only thing attacking me was my own resistance. Guided to the “bad boys' corner” of the maloca, I spent hours trapped in a visual and emotional hurricane, praying for release and finding none. No purge. No relief. No escape. Just chaos. Shame. Fear. A distorted carnival spinning out of control. Until one quiet moment changed everything. When I finally remembered the real question—the IRS question, the Dragon's question:Hmmm? What is actually happening here? What is this showing me? The answer landed like a whisper:Time. Your forgotten ally. Your secret weapon. The truth that dissolves all suffering.This too shall pass. The visuals didn't stop. The nightmare didn't soften. But my relationship to it changed. And the instant fear lost its authority, Grandmother stepped back in respect. She hadn't been punishing me. She had been teaching me the one lesson I didn't know I still needed: Nothing permanent can harm you. Only fear convinces you otherwise.Everything—anxiety, worry, panic, uncertainty—is just passing weather. In this episode, I take you inside the hardest night of my life, a night where the medicine became the mirror, the storm became the teacher, and time revealed itself as the true healer. Through Alan Watts, the IRS, and a collapse that turned into clarity, this chapter is a reminder for anyone drowning in fear: It's rarely the situation that hurts us. It's the meaning we've assigned to it. And when we zoom out—beyond our stories, beyond our worries, beyond this tiny spinning rock in a universe of trillions—everything softens. Everything shifts. Everything passes. Night Two wasn't a failure.It was the teaching beneath the teaching.The darkness behind the breakthrough.The reminder I didn't want… but desperately needed. This too shall pass.And the next morning, Day Three began—with sunlight, stone ruins, grounded earth, and a much-needed return to the outside world.

“Bologna was unique in championing the professions of women. The home of Europe's oldest university, which has supported female students since the thirteenth century, the city considered women artists integral to its development” - Katy Hessel, The Story of Art Without MenWelcome to Episode #128:Bologna is one of those places that has that quintessential Italian feel. A medieval city with wonderful heritage and a place where tradition and conviviality are maintained. Many people love to visit for the food and there is a lot to say about the glories of the table in Bologna. I went there for art, food and wine and found myself lured by the beautiful porticoes that dominate the city and a significant visit to Santa Caterina. There are UNESCO World Heritage sites and al fresco ambience like no other. I often wonder why more people don't visit this city. It has so much to offer in terms of the magic of travel in Italy.Visit Bologna MichelleJohnston.life for the Shownotes and Visuals!A Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksMusical Scores by Richard Johnston© 2025  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show

Have you ever shared something genuinely valuable… and it feels like nobody cares? You post content that could literally help people — and it gets ignored. You speak up at work or in your community, and it's like your voice doesn't matter. Meanwhile, someone with half your wisdom and half your experience gets all the attention. Here's the uncomfortable truth: In this world, people don't respond to value first. They respond to signals. And if you don't understand that, your message will never break through. Let me show you why this happens — and what the Bible actually says about it.

Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter. Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. This does not mean you shouldn't use slideshows or PowerPoints. They are still the standard for a reason. But they are also not the only form of visual aid that works at conveying your presentation to people in the audience.Mixing it up with things like posters boards, props, samples, handouts, or videos can spice things up a bit and, in many cases, are actually better than just going with the safe slideshow.Show Notes: 101 Public Speaking Tips For Delivering Your Best Speech(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/101-public-speaking-tips-for-delivering-your-best-speech/)

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-98-peter-heyesEpisode #98 feature Pete Heyes, award-winning creative, creative director, top northern lad and United fan.Pete has worked in the business for over 30 years at some of the very best agencies, including DDB and Leo Burnett. He's won awards on huge brands such as McDonald's, VW, Marmite and Harvey Nichols. People often talk about Pete as ‘one of the nicest guys in the business'. Which we can vouch for. Fun Pete fact: he was once a Media Planner on P&G.We started as usual with the billboard at the end of Pete's street, which is from the recent British Airways campaign. So yes, you guessed it, we had yet more ‘logo v no logo' chat. Then we jumped into another topical debate, the potential demise of the DDB name.And all this before the work, of which Pete has loads. We distilled it down to four clients in the end:VW, Marmite, Magners, and McDonald's.For VW we got behind the story of the classy and minimalist Touareg campaign shot by Giles Revell.Magners was an exercise in collaboration with Illustrator/Artist: Noma Bar, who seems to be everywhere atm, but Pete was the first to use him in advertising.Marmite was the Christmas lights, a bit of love ‘n hate for the festive season. Most apt!While for McDonald's there were many campaigns which Pete worked on both as a creative and a creative director. We managed to cover McNuggets, Lights on McDelivery / Iconic Stacks (Creatives: Andrew Long & James Millers), See One, Want One / Search (Creatives: Phillip Meyler & Darren Keff)Thanks so much for coming on Pete. It was a real pleasure talking about your work and the current state of the industry. Apologies for not having a pint. But hopefully we can fit one in before Christmas.Thanks to our sponsorsBauer Media OutdoorView2FillSuper OptimalGAS Music

Structure isn't a formatting exercise. It's the foundation of every clear, persuasive communication. Whether you're giving a presentation, writing an email, or leading a meeting, structure is the difference between an idea that gets ignored and an idea that creates action. In the latest episode of Conversations on Careers and Professional Life, we explore why structure matters so profoundly — and how leaders, students, and professionals can use it to communicate with more clarity and impact. Why Structure Matters Human beings aren't wired to process information in random fragments. We make sense of the world through stories — beginnings, middles, and ends. As you put it in the episode, we're not "data digesters"; we're storytellers. And when communication wanders, attention wanders with it. A clear structure reduces cognitive friction. It guides your audience through the idea. It shows respect for their time and sets you apart as someone who thinks and leads with intention. The Universal Arc: Beginning → Middle → End The classic story shape applies perfectly to business communication: Beginning: What's the point? Middle: Why does it matter? End: What should we do? In practice, this means starting with your main idea — the recommendation, insight, or conclusion — and only then walking people through the reasoning. This mirrors the Pyramid Principle, but it also aligns with how executives think: give me the destination first, then show me the path. A Simple Structure That Works Everywhere: What → So What → Now What You referenced Matt Abrahams' framework from Think Faster, Talk Smarter: What: The headline or central idea So What: The significance — why it matters Now What: The implication or action This structure keeps communication focused and future-oriented. It helps audiences quickly understand context, importance, and next steps. And when you use it, people stop interrupting with "What's your point?" because you've already answered it. Slide Structure: One Idea, One Message Every slide should tell a mini-story: A clear title that states the point, not a topic A single idea supported by one graph, chart, or set of bullets Visuals that reinforce your narrative rather than compete with it The slide is scaffolding — not the building. Your voice delivers the narrative; the slide supports it. Meeting Structure: Avoid the Rudderless Hour Unstructured meetings drift. Structured meetings decide. A simple three-bullet agenda can turn an hour-long discussion into a 20-minute decision. Before any meeting, ask: What's the goal? What's the sequence that gets us there? What decisions or actions do we need? Structure creates momentum, momentum creates clarity, and clarity creates action. Editing as Structural Discipline Editing is structuring. This is where Chekhov's Gun becomes a communication tool: remove anything that doesn't serve the message. Ask: If I cut this sentence, slide, or data point, does the meaning change? If not, remove it. Editing isn't erasing work — it's generosity. It gives your audience time and brings clarity. Remember the ABCs! A Simple Method for Structuring Anything Identify your main point. List two or three reasons that support it. Add only the evidence necessary to prove those reasons. Arrange it in a natural sequence — then cut everything else. It's deceptively simple, but rarely done well — and that's why it stands out. The Leadership Signal Ultimately, structure is more than communication mechanics. It's a leadership signal. Structured communicators show that they think clearly, respect their audience, and understand how decisions get made. The episode closes with a reminder worth repeating: Structure isn't just a communication tool. It's a mark of how you think. And it matters more than most people realize.

We just watched The Last Spark of Hope on Amazon, and it's one of the weirdest, most visually impressive post-apocalyptic films we've seen. The story follows Eva, possibly the last human alive, trapped outside her compound by her guardian robot Arthur, a machine programmed not to harm humans, but also incapable of saving her or bending the rules to help.Arthur's logic becomes both a lifeline and a prison: it won't kill Eva, but it also won't act to prevent her death, and watching this robot navigate the rules of (in)humanity is equal parts frustrating and fascinating. The film's depiction of rigid AI programming as a metaphor for broken bureaucracy is confusing, sometimes slow, but deeply thought-provoking. Some moments don't add up, how can a robot refuse to help but not intervene to save a life? Still, every frame looks amazing, with cinematography and practical effects that punch above the film's indie budget.Were you as baffled by Arthur's inaction as we were? Did you love the visual style but got thrown by the story? Let's talk sci-fi ethics, bad logic, and whether a robot's programming should ever outweigh human survival.
