Elden Ring Nightreign is onder de motorkap nog altijd een échte Soulsborne, maar voegt in tegenstelling tot zijn voorgangers een compleet co-op-systeem, classes en rogue-like-elementen toe aan de bekende mix van zo'n beetje iedere FromSoftware-games. De focus ligt daarbij niet op een diepgaand en ambigbu verhaal, maar op zo snel mogelijk bazen verslaan met maximaal twee vrienden tegelijk om progressie te maken. Of dat (ook voor nieuwkomers in het Souldborne-genre) leuk is, bespreekt Joe van Burik met Niels Kooloos in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Elden Ring Nightreign is nu te spelen op Windows PC, PlayStation 4 en 5, Xbox Series S en X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch en later dit jaar op de Nintendo Switch 2. Over All in the GameOnder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Wesley Schouwenaars. Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio.

In Date Everything krijg je de kans om alles wat los en vast zit in je huis te daten. Van de loopband (Troy Baker) en de voordeur (Ben Starr), tot de droger (Neil Newborn) en de verhuisdozen (Ashley Johnson) - die je trouwens nooit hebt opgeruimd. Date Everything is de zoveelste toevoeging aan het datingsimgenre, maar wil zich onderscheiden van de rest met een sandboxelement, een flinke dosis metahumor, en een leger bestaande uit 100 bekende stemacteurs. Of Date Everything daarmee harten weet te veroveren of juist breekt, bespreekt Joe van Burik met Niels Kooloos in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Date Everything is nu te spelen op Windows PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S en X, en Nintendo Switch.

As a blind or partially sighted person have you ever thought about setting up your own recording studio and producing your own music? Well RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Shaun Hayward, a blind musician and ballroom dancer who in the early 2000s set up a basement studio in Leeds with his blind musician friend Joe Kenny which was very much an analogue studio recording on to a Windows PC with JAWS and the audio software package Sonar. After working and producing music with Joe for almost 10 years Shaun took some time away from music making but recently decided to get back in to music again and this time has gone down the route of setting up a home studio using the digital audio workstation Pro Tools on an Apple Mac computer.  Shaun began by giving Toby an overview of the studio he and Joe set up in Leeds, a bit about how they worked together producing and making music and why he decided to step away from music making after almost 10 years. Then to what made him want to get back into music again and what it was like having to get to grips with not only learning to use an Apple Mac computer but also working with Pro Tools.  Shaun also gave Toby an overview of his home studio, the kit he has for making music at home along with some helpful tips and advice for other blind and partially sighted people who would like to go down a similar route and make and produce their own music at home.  Some useful online resources for blind and partially sighted people who want to get in to recording and music making: Sound without Sight - an online community hub that has a wide range of information, articles, blogs and podcast about getting in to recording and music making which can be found by visiting - https://soundwithoutsight.org If like Shaun you are thinking of using Pro Tools on an Apple Mac computer there is a great online Pro Tools tutorial produced by a number of blind musicians and producers in America which can be found by visiting the following link - https://ptaccess.github.io (Image shows RNIB logo.

""Wieża" considers themes of change, stasis, motion, stillness, and meditation, as suggested by the original field recording. The footsteps that explore Wieża Ratuszowa in that recording become a percussive pulse in this composition, exploring convergence, tension, loss, and progress: people, events, ideas, emotions, structures, melodies, instruments, elements of arrangement, all arriving, departing, returning, remaining constant, changing in each other's presence, and disappearing. Throughout this, the steps maintain a grounding presence, akin to the passage of time, or the presence of an architectural monument in the lives of those around it.  "The piece was recorded at home with a Windows PC, a Shure SM-58, a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, a collection of instruments, and a cat who provided invaluable support, company, and audio editing assistance (read: walking across the keyboard and randomly changing settings in pursuit of scratches)." Wieża Ratuszowa reimagined by Ross Reilly. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

Craig Peterson shows up again to tell Jeff WHY he should stay away from Windows PCs.

If you had some free time and a Windows PC in the 1990s, your mouse probably crawled its way to Minesweeper, an exciting watch-where-you-click puzzle game with a ticking clock and a ton of “just one more game” replayability. Originally sold as part of a “big box” bundle of simple games, Minesweeper became a cornerstone of the Windows experience when it was pre-installed with every copy of Windows 3.1 and decades of subsequent OS updates. Alongside fellow Windows gaming staple Solitaire, Minesweeper wound up on more devices than nearly any other video game in history. Sweeping through a minefield of explosive storylines, Journalist Kyle Orland reveals how Minesweeper caused an identity crisis within Microsoft, ensnared a certain Microsoft CEO with its addictive gameplay, dismayed panicky pundits, micromanagers, and legislators around the world, inspired a passionate competitive community that discovered how to break the game, and predicted the rise of casual gaming by nearly two decades. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design at the IU International University for Applied Science, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence has significantly increased demand for developers who can create new AI-powered programs and applications. But processing, analyzing or training with vast amounts of data can strain even a powerful PC's bandwidth, making it difficult to multitask with other applications working in the background. It's a pain point that can be solved by connecting two computers. Intel's Thunderbolt Share software lets users easily connect two Windows PCs to share screens and to control using a single keyboard, mouse and storage. Using a PC's existing Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 5 port, a single cable provides secure high-speed, low-latency compute for file-sharing and screen-sharing. One of the PCs or accessories needs to be Thunderbolt Share-licensed. "AI uses language models, and those models are huge. So maybe you're working and tweaking a model, but then you need to send it over to another PC to test it. This whole idea of developers and AI and moving mass amounts of data is huge for Thunderbolt Share," said Lyle Warnke, technical marketing engineer at Intel. "It's not having to go over my Wi-Fi network, which is slow, or the cloud, which is even slower, or use an external drive, which takes time and is not very efficient. This is private. I'm not going to the cloud, no one will ever see my data because it's simply going from one PC to the other over a cable." Most computers, Windows and Apple, are equipped with a Thunderbolt port. It looks the same as a USB-C port and is designated by a lightning symbol. While it can be used as a USB-C port, which typically has a 10 gigabit per second bandwidth rate to transfer information, the use of a Thunderbolt cable boosts the speed 4x to a 40 gigabit per second bandwidth or 8x to an 80 gigabit per second bandwidth with Thunderbolt 5. Thunderbolt Share software can be downloaded and installed on Windows PCs with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 5 ports. The software checks that at least one PC or Thunderbolt accessory, such as a dock, monitor or storage, is Thunderbolt Share-licensed by the manufacturer, then allows the connected PCs to share resources. The first licensed PCs and docks are available now, with more coming in 2025. More Jobs Require More Than One Computer Using multiple computers is more common than many think. But before the introduction of Thunderbolt Share in 2024, there was no easy method to connect two Windows PCs directly with a cable. "This is the productivity part that we see for business users that's so great," Warnke said. "Maybe I have a desktop and it's doing my finance stuff, but I've got my laptop that's doing email and PowerPoint, but I just want to use the one desk monitor area." Enthusiast gamers and professional creators often use two to three computers for more flexibility, reduced system strain and the ability to dedicate machines to specific tasks. The more computers used, the better the workflow and the fewer bottlenecks. For example, a visual artist will have a powerful desktop for intensive tasks like video editing, AI video creation, 3D rendering or graphic design. Those applications take most of the desktop's bandwidth to run smoothly. That creator will likely also have a laptop for portability in attending client meetings, presentations or on-location shoots. And they might have a third, older PC in use as a dedicated server. Ben Hacker, general manager of Intel Client Connectivity Division, explains it this way: "If I'm a creator, I have a laptop and a desktop simultaneously running multiple applications; my laptop may be running different applications than my desktop, but I want to use them together. Thunderbolt Share allows me to utilise my high-resolution, large monitor with both computers without having to buy a KVM to switch between the two." Everyday Uses of Thunderbolt Share Screen sharing is among the most powerful operations for Thunderbolt Share, comprising over 50% of Thunderbolt Share's usage, Hacker s...

Sechs Jahre ist es inzwischen her, dass Fabian und Gunnar über den Horror-Klassiker Resident Evil gesprochen haben (in Super-Stay-Forever-Folge 13). In der Zwischenzeit haben wir gleich zwei der Silent-Hill-Spiele behandelt, also wird es höchste Zeit, dass auch die Resident-Evil-Serie nachzieht. Denn die hat noch jede Menge hervorragende Episoden zu bieten. Zum Beispiel der zweite Teil, den viele Menschen noch mehr lieben als das Serien-Debüt. Woran das liegt, ergründen Gunnar und Fabian in diesem Gespräch. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Resident Evil 2, 1998 Plattform: PlayStation, Windows-PC, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, GameCube, Game.com Entwickler: Capcom Publisher: Electronic Arts Genre: Action-Adventure/Survival Horror Designer: Hideki Kamiya, Shinji Mikami, u.a. Musik: Masami Ueda Podcast-Credits: Sprecher: Fabian Käufer, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Johannes DuBois, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik) www.stayforever.de

Hospitals, banks, airports, airlines and broadcasters worldwide were impacted by a massive, ongoing IT outage Friday. Thousands of Windows PCs, which many companies and organizations rely on as part of their critical internet infrastructure, were hit by the CrowdStrike outage. Perhaps most concerning, several US states reported that their emergency 911 call centers were also hit. The outage was blamed on a faulty update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. The company handles the security of many Windows PCs and services around the world. In a statement Friday morning, CrowdStrike said the issue had been "identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed." Jimmy discusses the shameless TV interview given by casually attired CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, who refused to answer basic questions or take any responsibility for the global tech catastrophe his company caused. Plus segments on loony Rachel Maddow's conclusion that Trump VP pick JD Vance is a far right wacko because he's a fan of Lord of the Rings, the Teamsters' Union president addressing the RNC and wild accusations that Iran was behind the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!
