KnockBack, Episode 165: Home Cooking

Depending on who you are, who your parents are, when and where you grew up, and many other factors, your experience eating at home as a kid was... well... different. We Moriartys were quite lucky, indeed: Italian Long Islanders with an extended family of talented cooks constantly putting del...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 144: At Death's Door

The words are hard to type, but they must be typed nonetheless: Sony is pulling the plug on PlayStation Vita. Beginning in late August, you won't be able to buy any games anymore (though you'll still be able to download what you own). The same goes for PlayStation 3, though its ignominious date c...

Defining Duke, Episode 13: Is It Time To Get Rid Of Games With Gold?

The monthly embarrassment has arrived! While Game Pass kills it to the point of saying it yet again feeling redundant, Games With Gold continues to meander.

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 87: What the Hell Happened to Games Media?

Journalism is broken, full-stop. Not just enthusiast press; journalism, generally. The evidence is all around us. What's interesting, though, is that its breakdown may have at least partially begun in our very own industry, and that's perhaps why today's games media is completely unrecognizable w...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 143: Pirates of the PSN

Recent (still unsubstantiated) rumors indicate Sony may be considering a full shutdown of its digital stores for PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, and -- perhaps most tragically -- PlayStation Vita. While we don't yet know what Sony's plans are (if any!), such a possibility raises a lot o...

Listeners of our show always ask us (well... me... Colin...) about game development.

What's it like dealing with the pla...

KnockBack, Episode 163: PlayStation Portable

Nintendo has long dominated gaming's lucrative handheld scene, vanquishing foes who dared enter the space, one after another, from Atari to SEGA to SNK. But then 2004 rolled around. It was late in that year (and into the next) that Sony launched PlayStation Portable, or PSP, the only non-Nintendo...
