Podcasts about Xbox Live

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho conversam sobre todos os consoles de Xbox. A história dos videogames da Microsoft é uma das mais marcantes da indústria, marcada por inovações, disputas e uma evolução constante que moldou o cenário dos consoles modernos. Tudo começou no ano 2001, quando a Microsoft, gigante do software, decidiu entrar no mercado de consoles dominado por Sony e Nintendo. O Xbox original foi lançado como uma aposta ousada: um videogame com arquitetura de PC, processador Intel e disco rígido interno. Ele se destacou por gráficos poderosos, conexão online via Xbox Live (lançada em 2002) e, principalmente, pelo jogo "Halo: Combat Evolved", que se tornou um dos maiores sucessos da história dos games e o símbolo da marca.Os consoles seguintes foram: Xbox 360, Xbox One e Xbox Series X/S. Mas a pergunta é: qual o melhor videogame de Xbox?Essa é mais uma edição da nossa série Meu Videogame Favorito!!===ALURA | Venha aprender programação DE GRAÇA na última Imersão DEV com Google Gemini de 2025! https://alura.tv/99vidas-imersao-dev-2025

Stop Killing Games: Una petición busca proteger el derecho de jugar lo que ya pagaste      Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo     Más de 1,2 millones de personas ya firmaron la petición “Stop Killing Games”, impulsada por Ross Scott, para evitar que las empresas borren videojuegos que ya fueron comprados. El caso de Ubisoft con The Crewdesató el movimiento.     Comprar un videojuego y después perder el acceso sin derecho a devolución. Esa práctica, que ya no es una excepción, ha generado protestas masivas. La campaña Stop Killing Games, creada en 2024 por el creador Ross Scott, denuncia cómo los contratos de usuario están permitiendo a las grandes empresas borrar juegos comprados. Ubisoft es el caso más discutido, luego de eliminar The Crew y exigir que se destruyan las copias. La campaña ya reunió más de un millón doscientas mil firmas en la Unión Europea, buscando una legislación que proteja a los jugadores. Pero no todo son festejos: también surgieron amenazas y conflictos dentro de la comunidad. ¿Qué está pasando con la propiedad digital de los videojuegos y por qué esta protesta se volvió tan viral?  Cláusulas que nadie lee, pero duelen: La letra pequeña de los contratos digitales encendió una batalla global.  Cuando compras un videojuego, parece lógico pensar que es tuyo. Lo pagaste, lo descargaste, lo juegas. Pero hay una trampa escondida: los acuerdos de usuario o EULA (por sus siglas en inglés) que aceptamos al instalarlo. Muchas veces incluyen cláusulas que permiten al desarrollador borrar el juego en cualquier momento, sin compensación. Una de las más polémicas es la de Ubisoft, que dice literalmente: “Debes desinstalar el producto y destruir todas las copias en tu posesión si se cancela por cualquier motivo”. Esta frase, que parece exagerada, es una realidad legal. Y como los juegos son ahora en su mayoría digitales, eso equivale a hacerlos desaparecer de tu consola o tu computadora.  Ross Scott, conocido por su canal en YouTube, decidió tomar acción cuando Ubisoft cerró los servidores de The Crew en 2024, haciendo que el juego dejara de funcionar, incluso para quienes lo habían comprado. Scott argumenta que esto es una forma de obsolescencia programada digital: vender productos con fecha de muerte no anunciada. Desde entonces, ha liderado la campaña Stop Killing Games, una iniciativa ciudadana europea que ya reunió firmas, presentó denuncias y ganó presencia en medios.  La campaña apunta a que la ley europea cambie, obligando a los estudios a mantener juegos accesibles, aún sin soporte. Algunos jugadores propusieron mantenerlos a través de servidores privados, como ocurre con juegos antiguos. Pero las grandes empresas se resisten, alegando problemas de seguridad, derechos de autor y costo. Aun así, el descontento sigue creciendo.  Uno de los argumentos más fuertes de la campaña es que los juegos no deberían tener fecha de vencimiento si se vendieron como productos completos. Hoy, el 87 % de los videojuegos lanzados antes de 2010 no son accesibles fácilmente, según un estudio de la Video Game History Foundation. Esto significa que miles de títulos han desaparecido por completo. Y eso no solo afecta a los jugadores, también a los archivistas, investigadores y quienes desean estudiar la historia del videojuego como forma cultural.  El caso de The Crew fue el detonante, pero no el único. En los últimos dos años, Electronic Arts ha cerrado los servidores de 61 juegos. Muchos más han sido retirados de tiendas digitales como Steam, PlayStation Network o Xbox Live, dejándolos inaccesibles para siempre. Y aunque algunas tiendas como GOG tratan de conservar títulos antiguos sin DRM, son la excepción. Además, las quejas han llegado a agencias de protección al consumidor en Alemania, Francia y Australia. La campaña plantea una pregunta difícil: ¿hasta qué punto lo digital es realmente nuestro?  El objetivo de Stop Killing Games no es simbólico: si la iniciativa alcanza suficientes firmas validadas, el Parlamento Europeo tendrá que considerar una ley. Ya hay más de un millón doscientas mil firmas recogidas, pero el propio Ross Scott advierte que muchas podrían ser inválidas, por errores en el llenado o firmas falsas. Por eso, están apuntando a llegar a un millón seiscientas mil. Tienen hasta el 31 de julio.  No todo ha sido celebración. El desarrollador indie Pirate Software, también conocido como Thor, recibió amenazas y fue blanco de acoso masivo luego de criticar algunos aspectos vagos del movimiento. Se retiró del estudio Offbrand Games y denunció ataques a su equipo. Esto abrió un nuevo frente: ¿cómo se puede protestar por derechos digitales sin cruzar la línea del odio? A pesar de estas tensiones, Scott dejó claro que esto es más que una queja: se trata de crear leyes que garanticen que lo que compramos no desaparezca de la noche a la mañana.  La industria ha respondido con resistencia. La organización Video Games Europe, que agrupa a estudios como EA, Nintendo y Microsoft, publicó un comunicado en contra de la propuesta. Dicen que forzarlos a mantener juegos vivos puede elevar los costos y limitar el diseño. Plantean que muchos juegos son online por diseño, y mantenerlos sin soporte sería inseguro. Pero eso no ha frenado al movimiento, que ya dejó en evidencia una discusión global: la brecha entre lo que compramos y lo que realmente poseemos.  El conflicto de Stop Killing Games no es nuevo, pero su impacto sí lo es. La Unión Europea ya ha intervenido antes en defensa de los consumidores, por lo que la posibilidad de legislar a favor de los jugadores no es remota. Si se aprueba una ley que prohíba la eliminación unilateral de juegos ya vendidos, podría sentar un precedente global. América Latina y Estados Unidos podrían seguir ese camino.  En paralelo, iniciativas como el Programa de Conservación de Juegos de GOG intentan rescatar títulos antiguos sin protección DRM, para garantizar que las personas puedan acceder a lo que ya pagaron. Más de cien juegos clásicos están disponibles allí. También surgen propuestas técnicas, como permitir que la comunidad mantenga servidores de juegos abandonados, algo común en títulos como World of Warcraft o Halo.  Esta campaña va más allá del videojuego: es una discusión sobre los derechos del consumidor en la era digital. ¿Tenemos derecho a conservar lo que compramos, o solo estamos alquilando por tiempo indefinido sin saberlo? La respuesta, por ahora, depende de leyes que aún no existen. Pero gracias a más de un millón de firmas, esa respuesta ya está en debate.  Más de un millón de personas piden que no se borren videojuegos ya pagados. Stop Killing Games busca cambiar las leyes en Europa. ¿Ya firmaste tú?Sigue el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify Más de un millón de personas firmaron para impedir que empresas borren videojuegos comprados. La campaña busca cambiar la ley en Europa.

In 2018, Mangione described himself as passionate about making video games, and helped to found a game development club at Penn that was quickly joined by roughly 60 students, according to a since-deleted article on the university's news hub. On a GitHub page believed to belong to Mangione, he shared code repositories that focused on machine learning and human-computer interaction. Among these is a project titled "Meccanoid-Imitate,” which apparently uses Arduino—an open source and easy-to-use electronics platform—and a programmable Meccanoid robot. The repository, last updated four years ago, includes animated GIFs showing Mangione in what appears to be a classroom, moving his arms while a Meccanoid robot behind him mimics his gestures. ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://www.wired.com/story/luigi-mangione-arrested-uhc-shooting/https://github.com/lnmangione/Halite-III/issues/10 ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo sobre a gloriosa história do Xbox. A jornada começou em um cenário improvável: uma gigante da computação, a Microsoft, dominando o mercado de sistemas operacionais e softwares, decide entrar na competitiva e lucrativa indústria de consoles de videogame. Nos anos 1990, a Microsoft já era um nome consolidado na tecnologia com o Windows e uma vasta gama de ferramentas de produtividade, mas a empresa via o crescente mercado de videogames como uma oportunidade de expansão. Com a chegada do Xbox, Bill Gates, chefe da empresa na época, viu no console uma maneira de competir diretamente com a Sony, cuja linha PlayStation estava dominando o mercado de consoles. No podcast nós comentamos sobre toda a trajetória dos consoles Xbox, passando pelo primeiro videogame, seguido do fenômeno Xbox 360, a evolução para o Xbox One e até as gerações atuais com o Xbox Series S/X. Além dos aparelhos, comentamos sobre a Xbox Live, Game Pass, jogos como "Halo", "Gears of War" e muito mais!

Another week, another meltdown over Xbox exclusives and "WhY ShOuLd I bUy An XbOx", all because Phil continues to say the same thing over and over for years. We also got confirmation that the Mass Effect Television show is full steam ahead! Lets hope Amazon repeats the magic it did with Fallout. Plus there are apparently a million star wars movies in development, and im sure only 4 will actually come out. Denzel teases his future in the MCU, and D23 Brazil brought the heat. That and a hell of a lot more.

Today, we're taking a look back at Microsoft's game-changing entry into the console market with the original Xbox, launched on November 15, 2001. We start by exploring how Microsoft, traditionally a software giant, was driven to create a gaming console in response to Sony's PlayStation 2, and how a team of engineers used Microsoft's DirectX technology to build a console that could compete. Then, we'll look at the Xbox's groundbreaking features, from its built-in hard drive to the introduction of online gaming with Xbox Live. Finally, we'll reflect on the Xbox's legacy, its impact on console design, and its influence on the gaming industry.

s real as Bobby Braddock’s melodic soliloquy "Time Marches On" gets, we are now on the other side of another digital sunset as Microsoft closes down the Xbox 360 Marketplace. The term "sunset" may not be the right choice here, though with all of Microsoft’s confusing cross-pollination between the last couple of Xbox generations, this “sunset” comes off more like a hasty “sweep under the rug” where front-end accessibility to the iconic storefront can still be accessed through weird exploits that are reminiscent of a secret-menu at your local drive-thru. The latest episode of Press Pause Radio is a full round-table of PPR pundits as George, Andrew, Ed, and Sean pour their hearts out on a post-mortem look at the Xbox 360 Marketplace and the ups and downs of what the service did in its prime and the legacy it holds into this weird twilight-esque second life on the Xbox One/Series era of Xbox Live. We also wax nostalgic on all the choice cuts the store had to offer, whether it was a delisted Konami Arcade port, a SEGA gem, or the HD re-release of the only decent thing that Doug TenNapel has ever done with his miserable existence—we get heavy into the gems that players could only find on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, and explore how these games helped shape Xbox into the household name that it is today.

With the official shutdown of the Xbox 360 store, Tyler and Mike decided to take an episode to talk about the Xbox 360 (again). They discuss the hardware, games, and features of Xbox Live that made the Xbox 360 kickstart online gaming as we know it today. The theme music is by RoccoW. The logo was created by Dani Dodge.

In this week's episode, we take a look back at one of 2022's most popular episodes and discuss how to use dialogue to create distinctive characters. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates (August 2024) Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 212 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is August 1st, 2024 and today we're looking back at one of our old episodes, specifically Episode 120: Using Dialogue to Create Distinct Characters, which I first aired back in May 2022. I am afraid I don't have time to record a new episode this week, so it seemed like a good idea to look back at one of the more popular past episodes and run it again, so that's what we're going to do this week. Before we get to that, let's have an update on my current writing projects. The final draft of Half-Orc Paladin is just about done. There's only a couple more tweaks to do and this episode, if all goes well, goes live on August 5th. I'm hoping to publish Half-Orc Paladin on August 6th, if everything goes well. So hopefully we'll all have that book before much longer. Like the first two in the Rivah series, it will be in Kindle Unlimited, and then once all six books are done in the series (probably next year sometime), then I will take it wide to all the other platforms. In audiobook news, the audiobook of Wizard-Thief is finished. That would be the second Rivah book, as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward. That is some very good timing because as I mentioned before, Half-Orc Paladin is going to come out shortly and Wizard-Thief is available at all the usual audiobook stores. Once Half-Orc Paladin is done, my main project is going to be Shield of Conquest. I am currently 5,500 words into it. Hopefully, that should come out in September, if all goes well. The two books I write after that will be Ghost in the Tombs and then Cloak of Illusion. So that is where I'm at with my current writing projects. And now let's have a flashback to May 2022 when we talked about different tips for creating distinct dialogue for your characters. 00:01:57 Episode 120's Introduction and Writing Updates (May 2022) Hello, welcome to Episode 120 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 6th, 2022 and today we're going to discuss how to use dialogue to help with characterization. I'm also going to talk about something I didn't think I would ever do: buy an Xbox. Before we get into all that, let's have some updates on my current writing projects. I am exactly 59,000 words into Dragonskull: Blade of the Elves, and I am definitely going to get to 60,000 before I have to call it a day. I'm also about 3,700 words into Cloak of Spears and that will be the book that hopefully comes out after Dragonskull: Blade of the Elves. I'm hoping to have Blade of the Elves out in June and Cloak of Spears out in July. I am also proof listening to Frostborn: The Shadow Prison the audiobook. I've listened to the first six chapters of it and I'm very excited to have that series complete in audiobook and available for you to listen to, and that should be probably June or July when that's finally done, hopefully sooner. 00:03:03 Thoughts and Reader Comments on the Xbox Now for our first of our topics: the Xbox. I recently joked that it was old enough for a midlife crisis now. I thought about it and I bought an Xbox. Other than the Nintendo Switch, which I got in 2019 to celebrate my 100th book, which was Dragontiarna: Knights (the audiobook book version of which is now free to Audible members). It's the first traditional game console I've used since 1998, and I didn't play any console games at all from 1998 to 2019. The technology has changed just a little bit since 1998. The reason I got an Xbox is because back in the old days, one of my jobs was doing tech support for college dormitories. I used to get very annoyed when students complained about connectivity problems with their Xboxes and PlayStations- college is expensive, and I thought at the time was you should be doing homework and networking career opportunities, not playing games. But I'm older now, maybe marginally wiser. Traditionally, a midlife crisis is when you reflect back on your life and try to relive your youth or experience things that you missed out on the first time around. That said, I'm pretty happy with how my life turned out, and I think I'm blessed to be able to say that. If Doc Brown pulled up in his DeLorean and offered me a chance to go back and change something, I'd tell him nah, I'm good. Also, I've seen enough time travel stories to know that if I tried to change something, one of the people who complained to me that Xbox Live was running slow would wind up becoming the tyrannical supreme leader of the dystopian imperium of global harmony or something, so no going around messing with the past. That said, I did wonder if I missed out on something in terms of console gaming. Perhaps I denied myself what would otherwise have been an enjoyable and enriching experience, so I got an Xbox Series X brand new game console. What's the first game I play? Skyrim, obviously. I have to admit playing Skyrim this way is very comfortable and I'm going to finish a quest I never played on PC or Switch, the Imperial Storm Cloak Civil War. I flipped a coin and it landed on Empire, so I sided with the Empire. Once I win the Empire's war for them, it will be on to the Dawnguard expansion. I have to admit the Xbox ecosystem is very impressive. Granted, I still remember playing PC games by swapping out a stack of five and 1/4 inch floppies and very carefully configuring emm386.exe, so maybe I'm easily impressed, but still. When I talked about this on Facebook, a couple of people had opinions. William said: the original Halo is the only Xbox game I've ever really played, but the pace is very good and goes well with the sci-fi story. I have tried Halo since it came with Game Pass. So far I've managed to figure out how to run in circles while shooting at the wall and how to accidentally roll the car down the hillside into the stream. Hopefully if I have time to play it more, I will get better at it. Scott says: Elden Ring is currently popular. You may enjoy if you like Skyrim. I play Elder Scrolls Online on PC, however, so I can't vouch for the console experience. I've heard good things about Elden Ring from many different people, and I was considering giving Elder Scrolls Online a try next month after I'm a little less busy. I don't really like multiplayer games because to be perfectly frank, computer games are where I go when I get tired of people and I want to unwind a bit, but I've heard there's a ton of excellent solo content in Elder Scrolls Online, and if you want to, you don't ever have to interact with another human while you're playing the game. I may have to give that a try. Jesse says: Dawnguard was excellent. Dawnguard is one of the expansions for Skyrim, and unfortunately it turns out I won't be able to play it on the Xbox because I finished the Civil War plot line and then I tried to start the Dawnguard plot line. However, there's a bug in the Xbox version of the game where if you find the location of the vampire lord's castle before you come there for the quest, the quest line breaks and doesn't continue, so I don't think I'll be able to play Dawnguard on Xbox. If I want to play it, I'll probably play the Switch because of my Switch save state for Skyrim. I haven't visited the vampire lord's castle yet, so I think I'm going to play Dragonborn instead once I have a little more money in game saved up. 00:07:12 Main Topic: Dialogue and Characters Now on to the main topic of this week's show, which comes from a question that Scott asked. It was a very interesting question that got me thinking, which is why it's now the topic of this week's podcast. Scott's question is: “a question on making dialogue for individual characters unique to them. It's very common for all characters to sound so homogeneous that attribution is the only way to know one speaker from another's. Awkward accents aside, what are some techniques that help separate social classes and regions in speech?” I think Scott's absolutely right- accents aren't a great way to differentiate characters in books. That's different in audiobooks, of course, but that's a whole different kettle of fish. There's this example in HP Lovecraft's short story of The Color Out of Space of a farmer talking a phonetic accent, and it's so bad in what's otherwise a very interesting horror story. And everyone should read that story just to read that farmer's dialogue as an example of how not to write phonetically accented dialogue. That said, I've found in my own writing, in my own experience, that varying sentence structure and length and vocabulary are better as a method of distinguishing characters' dialogues from one another. Like a teenage girl might talk in long, rambling sentences that usually reference the opinions of her friends, while an elderly farmer might speak in laconic sentence fragments. A college professor might have more complex sentence structure with a greater vocabulary, while a human resources professional might talk entirely in business jargon like this: “I'm reaching out today to touch base on performance evaluations.” An actor or a standup comic or performer might talk entirely in motive based language, such as when offering opinion, they'll say “I feel that” or “my feeling is that.” They'll have very emotion-based language. A doctor or accountant might be more clinical in their speech, such as, you know, “the prescription is”, or “the evidence suggests”, or “the numbers say.” Police officers and members of the military will often have their own jargon with a lot of acronyms that can be impenetrable to outsiders or people unfamiliar with that specific kind of culture. So if you're writing characters who are in the military or are police officers, it might be worthwhile to learn the common terms they use and work that into your dialogue. Profanity is a tricky one. It's very easy to distinguish speech patterns among characters using profanity. But profanity often grabs readers, though in one way. I recently had someone complain that Nadia in the Cloak Mage book says “goddamn” a lot. And the truth is I kind of dialed down her profanity. I think that if Nadia existed in real life and was a real person, every third word would be a profanity once she got ticked off and when she got really mad, she'd swear a lot more than she really does in the books, where I do dial it back a bit. When reading dialogue, it's also important to remember that people rarely give direct answers in conversation and frequently go off in tangents, like I just did when I was talking about Nadia and profanity. For that matter, the subtext of a conversation is often more important than the actual words that are actually being said. You can frequently see that at major life events or traumatic life events like a funeral or a mass layoff, where people will spend a lot of time discussing trivialities about the weather or how the drive was or minor matters, rather than the enormous glaring fact in front of them of the funeral or the mass layoff or the other unpleasant event they're at. Now on to examples. Let's imagine a detective is investigating a murder in a bank lobby and asks five witnesses where they found the body. The way that the five witnesses talk can differentiate them from each other and provide insight into their character. In this example are Tanya (a teenage girl), Braden (a teenage boy), Rick (an imperious bank executive), Janet (a candidate for state senator), and Robert (an elderly farmer). So here is what Tanya, the teenage girl said to the detective:  “like, I came inside because I need to withdraw some cash in the stupid ATM wasn't working like again, and oh my God, this dead guy was just on the floor in the middle of the bank. So I texted Zoe and Zoe was like, we need to get this on Facebook Live like, right now. But then Zoe's mom heard what was happening. She told me to call the police, so I called 911 and the guy was like, “what's your emergency?” I'm like, dude, there's a dead guy on the floor.” And as you can imagine, she'd go on in this vein for quite some time. By comparison, this is what Braden the teenage boy would say while mumbling and looking at the floor. “People started screaming. I saw this guy on the floor. He was like, dead. Can I go now? This is what Rick the bank executive would say: “I heard a commotion in the lobby and I got up to see what was happening and the dead body was on the floor. I want to assure you that Mutual Fidelity Credit Banking takes all criminal matters very seriously and cooperates with the authorities to the fullest extent of the law. However, any further questions will need to be referred to our corporate counsel, and I'm afraid I have several other meetings scheduled this afternoon. Good day, officer.” So you can see this is a very distinctive and precise way of speech for Rick the banking executive, while providing insight into his character. Our next response is from Janet, the state senate candidate: “The thoughts and prayers of my family and I are with the victim's family in this terrible time. This tragedy only further proves that the policies of my opponents are actively harmful for the most marginalized communities in our state. When I'm your state senator, I will proudly stand for all communities.” She pauses. “Wait, is that the victim's parents? I need to get a picture with them for my Twitter.” So you can see, Janet talks very much like a politician. I think her dialogue period pretty much has been copied and pasted from Twitter. And it also provides insight into her character. Our final example is Robert, the elderly farmer, who says to the detective: “Came in. Fellow was on the floor. Poor bastard looked like he'd been shot in the head. Checked his pulse anyway, and then called the cops.” That's all he has to say. So these five characters, as you can see, all talk in very different ways. I didn't use any fancy accents or slang, only a little bit of profanity, but not all that much. But those were five distinct speech patterns, and the dialogue actually provides further insight into their characters. We can see that Tanya likes to talk. Brayden doesn't like to talk. Rick has a high opinion of himself if he thinks he can brush off police officers conducting a murder investigation. Janet, the state senate candidate, is pretty ruthless and willing to exploit someone's personal tragedy for her advancement. Of the five, Robert, the elderly farmer, was the only one who actually tried to help the guy who was dead on the floor. So I hope that is a good example of how to differentiate characters using different vocabulary and speech patterns. When I talked about this on my blog, Grace said, “this is where stereotypes in writing come in handy. Even if you had only given the list of characters at the beginning and attributed each paragraph, I would have been able to guess who was speaking, because in this case each one is a basic stereotype. Obviously, not all characters fall exactly into a stereotype (see Tythrilandria from Cloak Mage), but it probably helps for one appearance characters.” That is true. A longer-term technique, I think, is to subvert the expectations produced by the first impression of characters. Maybe the banker is secretly obsessed with graffiti or the teenage boy shovels the driveways and mows the lawns of his elderly neighbors without payment. Or the teenage girl is massively into Bitcoin mining. That makes for more realistic characters because in real life people often possess many different contradictory qualities, though for characters who have just one scene, you can probably get away with just the initial impression. William asked about this (going off on a tangent like we did earlier): Where did Nadia pick up the habit of swearing a lot? I know Morvilind assigned some rather rough ex-military types to train her. So I guess it might have started there and grown worse issues left on her own and started mingling with criminals in general. It's one of those things no one seems to have pointed out to her and she hasn't self-reflected on it. William is exactly right. That is where Nadia picked up her habit of swearing, because most of her teachers when she was a child were very rough people. And then when she got older and started out going out and doing missions for Morvilind and she met even more rough people. That said, Nadia isn't particularly self-reflective but she does have enough self-control to dial back profanity in appropriate situations, whereas you know, sometimes you meet people in real life who have gotten so much in the habit of using profanity to pepper their speech that they can't shut it off even when it's like grossly inappropriate, like at a job interview or a situation like that. Nadia doesn't have that problem. She is able to switch off profanity on her off as necessary, but if she is really angry then that's when it will come out. So that's it for this week, and I should mention as a final one for this episode, the podcast will be going on hiatus until the middle of June or so. The reason for that is I need to finish Dragonskull: Blade of the Elves. I also need to proof the audiobooks of Frostborn: The Shadow Prison and Cloak of Shards. I also have a ton of real-life stuff I gotta do in May, so I need to prioritize, which means we'll have a break from podcasting until mid-June when things calm down. So thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show this week. I hope you found the show useful. If you enjoyed the podcast, please leave your review on your podcasting platform of choice.

If you're an older player of video games, you know that 2007 was an historically-insane year for the medium. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Super Mario Galaxy, BioShock, The Orange Box, God of War II, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Mass Effect -- amongst others -- all launched within 9 months of each other. And then there was Halo 3, arguably the king of them all. Halo 3 is the Xbox brand's single best-selling game by a mile, and it's an emblem of Microsoft's most successful era both commercially and critically, when it was a completely dominant force with its boot on its competitor's neck. Short and sweet at only eight hours (or so) long, Halo 3 is a thrill to play, though it does lack its predecessor's emphasis on story and lore, which is a bit of a bummer. And it of course thrived via online play via Xbox Live, which isn't at all what our podcast is about. Instead, we focus on its action movie-like campaign, which we both had a blast with. And we reminisce about a time when Microsoft nearly won the so-called Console War, before it somewhat befuddingly dropped the ball and gave the crown away. Learn more about your ad choices.
