    Forrest Byrnes — Up In Smoke

    Forrest Byrnes — Up In Smoke
    What if the in-world fire prevention mascot from Firewatch had his own licensed platformer back in the late '80s or early '90s? And what if in making that concept game, developer Nels Anderson and artist Christina-Antoinette Neofotistou actually re-skinned an older Japanese game—that had _already_ been half re-skinned as a game about fire prevention!—that Nels had found on some random internet ROM forum? It's the story of Forrest Byrnes: Up In Smoke!

    First Cup of Coffee - April 19, 2022

    Are those sleigh bells in the air? NO, IT'S A NEW EPISODE OF SCRIPT LOCK! After trudging through the hellacious year that was 2020, we're back with Cissy (actress whose voice you may have heard in such games as The Walking Dead, Life is Strange, Firewatch - for which she won a BAFTA - Horizon: Zero Dawn, and most recently Half-Life: Alyx and Call of the Sea) and Erika (actress, host, and producer whom you may have heard in such games as Dream Daddy, Destiny, 2, Fallout 76, Fortnite, Marvel's Avengers, and Cyberpunk 2077) to talk whether you need to live in Hollywood to be a VO actor, being recast, voice matching, auditions, secrecy around characters you’re auditioning for, the luxury of getting scripts before a session, how they like to receive direction, best and worst pieces of direction, vocal health and more!

    Episode 86: Oh, the humanity!

    Episode 86: Oh, the humanity!

    As pretty much everyone has stated, 2020 has been a dumpster fire of epic proportions. Danny, Blake, and Nathaniel decided that now is a great time to talk disaster movies. But is that a great a idea when one of them does not even like the genre?

    The show starts with a talk about the WandaVision trailer. Is this the show that will get Nathaniel and Danny back on the Disney+ hype train they once shamelessly rode? Plus, who is launching Tom Cruise into space and why are they not going to be leaving him there?

    On this week's What You Need to Know, the three talk about cinematics in games. From the latest cutscenes to VCR board games they guys talk about their favorite memories. Just this one time.

    The main segment is about disaster movies. Obviously, Airplane! is the greatest disaster movie ever, but there is so much more to talk about. The ones that did the best job, the stupidity of evil storm chasers, and Nathaniel's theory on 9/11 movies are all here. All buildings matter.

    Adventures in Movies! is hosted by Nathaniel Muir, Blake, and Danny. You can find Nathaniel on Instagram at nathaninpoortaste. Danny can be found on Twitter @default_player and on Instagram at default_player. Blake can be found on Twitter @foureyedhorror and on Instagram at foureyedhorror. You can reach us personally or on Twitter @AiPTMovies.

    A NEW YEAR means NEW GUESTS! Alex (former UI designer and current character concept artist at Naughty Dog, as well as a freelance children’s book author. Her credits include The Last of Us, The Last of Us: Left Behind, Uncharted 4, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and NBA Live 09) and Olly (Art Director on Firewatch, and graphic designer best known for his work w/ Mondo, Harry Potter, Star Wars, the Academy Awards, and much more) join us to talk about growing up on message boards, NBA Live 09 and the UI of sports games, whether knowledge limits your creativity, communicating a feeling through art, being critical of your own work, creating Garfields for fun, experimentation, UI in a background role, creating spaces in Firewatch that felt natural and not meticulously designed, how to lead the player without being too obtuse or explicit, creating Drake's Journal in Uncharted 4, misconceptions about work, why Breath of the Wild is great, and Tom Bombadil.

    #122. Cuphead, Star Trek och Nazister
    Det har varit en spännande vecka här i Göteborg fylld med dyra böcker och tokiga nazister. Mellan demonstration och bokmässor har vi ändå lyckats spela spel som Cuphead, Mass Effect: Andromeda och Firewatch och även kollat på den nya omdiskuterade TV-serien Star Trek Discovery. David har även samlat tittarkommentarer om TV-serien, Cornelius beställer wedgies och Christian gillar senap. Vi påbörjar även vår Achievements-tävling på Xbox och sjunger introt till Mumindalen! Enjoy galenskapen, kära vänner! Sitter du på något juicy spelämne som vi borde ta upp i podden?
