On this week's Game Deflators podcast episode, John and Ryan are back with a packed lineup of gaming chatter, industry hot takes, and a double dose of Highguard discourse. The episode kicks off with fresh gaming updates as the guys break down what they've been playing, what's caught their attention. From there, they dive into Highguard's rocky reception, comparing its early reviews to other notoriously low‑rated titles. Is the criticism fair, or is this another case of the internet dog‑piling a new release? The conversation then shifts to censorship in gaming, with Nintendo's recent decision to censor Dispatch taking center stage. John and Ryan break down why this move feels out of step with the company's own history, especially considering similar or even more provocative titles that previously launched on Nintendo platforms without edits. They explore what might be driving this sudden change and whether it signals a new, less predictable approach to content approval going forward. Next, the duo speculates on Switch 2 pricing, weighing hardware rumors, and market trends. They also turn their attention to the future of PlayStation 6, discussing delays, shifting expectations, and what Sony needs to do to regain momentum. Finally, the guys return to Highguard for a full hero shooter review and critique, breaking down gameplay, design choices, and whether the title has the potential to grow—or if it's destined to fade fast. 00:00 Introduction to the Game Deflators Podcast 03:12 3D Printing Adventures and New Gear 06:03 Gaming Updates: Plucky Squire and Feedback 09:11 Voice Acting in Games: A Discussion 12:14 The Impact of AI in Gaming Voiceovers 15:12 Speedrunning and Community Dynamics 18:04 High Guard and Game Reception 21:10 Censorship in Gaming: Nintendo's Decisions 26:57 Nintendo's Innuendos and the Switch 2 Price Predictions 33:16 The Future of PlayStation: Delays and Expectations 44:08 Highguard: A Hero Shooter Review and Critique   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

Imagination, storytelling, and the human voice are at the heart of this conversation I shared with voice actor and coach Linda Bearman. We talked about her journey from early acting to decades in voiceover, why audio drama is finding new life, and what it really takes to build a career in a changing industry shaped by home studios and AI. Linda offered honest insight into training, discipline, and the business side of voice work, along with a clear reminder that technology cannot replace lived experience, emotional truth, or imagination. More than anything, this episode is about staying human, staying kind, and following the passion that brings stories to life, no matter how fast the world changes. Highlights: 00:10 – Hear why sounding natural and emotionally present matters more than performance tricks in voice acting. 02:52 – Learn why audio drama is resurging and what today's audiences are craving from storytelling again. 10:48 – Understand how voiceover evolved into a true craft and why it demands respect, discipline, and training. 20:17 – Get a clear look at how AI has already changed the voiceover industry and where human voices still hold the edge. 30:18 – Discover why imagination is a muscle that must be trained to bring stories to life through audio alone. 55:22 – Learn why preserving classic radio techniques is essential to developing the next generation of voice actors. About the Guest: Linda Bearman has amassed decades of experience in the performing arts beginning as a child actress and continuing into adulthood.

Later, while working for Landmark Productions she was offered a position at the esteemed commercial talent agency, SBV,Inc (Sutton, Barth & Vennari). Becoming a VO agent was a pivotal point in Linda's career as it was there that Linda discovered her passion for voiceover, an art form that perfectly aligned with her acting background and business acumen.  Following seven years at SBV, she relocated to Utah and worked in the casting department of Leucadia Film Corp. while also voicing regional radio and TV commercials. Recognizing the need for a professional full service talent agency in Salt Lake City, she established, co-owned and operated the successful TMG,Inc.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I'm diving into my journey into voice acting with the incredible Kris Keppeler. It all started when I was searching for more acting opportunities in Seattle, and someone suggested I try voiceover. I never considered it before, but once I found a coach, I discovered how much I loved combining my singing and acting skills. Voice acting has become a joyful partnership for me, giving me the chance to express emotions and bring characters to life in a unique and powerful way.Transitioning into voice acting came naturally thanks to my background in singing and acting. I learned that voiceover requires conveying emotion without relying on body language—everything comes through the voice. I often visualize a character's posture or state of mind to help me connect with the role.I also share my experiences voicing a wide range of characters, from a beefy crime boss to a heroic ex-thief. Each role demands its own emotional depth, tone, and vocal texture, and I love the challenge of finding what fits. My opera training has been invaluable, teaching me vocal control and how to project emotion effectively.Voice acting is about feeling your way through a script and connecting personally with the character. It's not just reading—it's performing. I encourage aspiring voice actors to embrace their uniqueness and let their experiences shape their work.If you're interested in voice acting, remember: practice is everything. I'm always exploring new characters and finding joy in narrating unusual stories. Whether you're a beginner or looking to grow, keep going and enjoy the ride. Please like, share, and subscribe for more insights into the world of voice acting.

Blumhouse grabbing Something Is Killing The Children shows horror's momentum in both live action and adult animation. The Emiru assault at TwitchCon highlights the need for tighter security and better creator safety guidelines. Halo on PlayStation feels like the final shot in the console wars and a nod to platform-agnostic futures. Gen V Season 2 keeps The Boys universe sharp with character-first chaos. It: Welcome to Derry starts strong with mood and mystery, even if the spectacle is still ramping up. Eliah Mountjoy frames Bucky as a survivor balancing light and dark, focusing on grounded choices over super-heroics. Quotes "Hook is the box office flop I will defend to my last breath." "Stranger Things going to theaters is a victory lap and a thank you to fans." "It feels like the end of the console wars." "Acting is reacting."
