Show Notes

You never know where it will start and, even less, where it will end up when Marco and Sean get together with Rafael & Carey. This episode marks the 5th time, and they talk about:

- The need to hype technology, sometimes even when there is not really much to talk about,

- The "real world" consequences of actions that take place in virtual reality/metaverse environments.

- Is there such thing as too many "play-time" choices for kids nowadays? And is that a bad thing?

- Are the new generation losing touch with reality, and is the concept of time too relative in gaming?

They get pretty philosophical but always with a touch of fun.

Join the conversation and put your thinking hat on! It is mandatory!

In this episode, we connect with author, Deb Radcliff, to talk about her new book, some of her real-life-inspired characters, and her Cy Beat podcast on ITSPmagazine. We end up getting very philosophical about the world of technology and it's connection to humanity.

About the book
Cy is still healing from injuries that almost killed her during Operation Backbone when she is called back for a very personal reason. Her son Michael is in the clutches of Damian Strandeski, former chairman of the GlobeCom board and kingpin behind all criminal syndicates operating on the dark web.

Cy quickly deduces that her son is collateral damage in Damian’s grab for the lead developer behind a new artificial intelligence named Telos, which is more powerful than GlobeCom was. As she heads to Europe on a rescue mission, Cy’s eldest son Adam enlists their clan’s rogue copy of Telos to aggressively search for Damian. Then the AI seems to take matters into its own hands…

As they execute their plan to save Michael and catch Damian, Cy and her team face unforeseen retaliation that endangers them all. Will they finally defeat Damian, or will he once again take control of the world through technology?

Learning should be fun, yet most of the time is boring — especially when we associate learning with the school system. The truth is that we are constantly learning, and when is not imposed education for a grade and a piece of paper, we are actually doing it right.

In this episode, we continue our conversations about gaming, technology, past, and future with our friends Rafael and Carey. As usual, we have no plans, and we go with the flow touching on technology, philosophy, storytelling, creativity, and the future we envision for our digital society. Oh, yes, and everything in between.

Join us as we talk about gaming as a learning tool: from books to toys, sports, music, video games, and virtual reality.

The Lazarus Heist – From Hollywood to High Finance: Inside North Korea’s Global Cyber War, is a book that sprang from the hit 10-part BBC podcast series of the same name, which our guest today, Geoff White, co-hosted and which immediately ranked number one in the UK Apple chart and within the top 7 in the US. Season 2 of the podcast will be out in late 2022.

About The Lazarus Heist
Meet the Lazarus Group, a shadowy cabal of hackers accused of working on behalf of the North Korean state. It's claimed that they form one of the most dangerous criminal enterprises on the planet, having stolen more than $1bn in an international crime spree. Their targets allegedly include central banks, Hollywood film studios and even the British National Health Service. North Korea denies the allegations, saying the accusations are American attempts to tarnish its image.

In this staggering, global investigation, award-winning journalist Geoff White examines how the hackers have harnessed cutting-edge technology to launch a decade-long campaign of brazen and merciless raids on its richer, more powerful adversaries. It's not just money they're after. The Lazarus Group's tactics have been used to threaten democracies, gag North Korea's critics and destabilize global peace.

From the bustling streets of Dhaka, to the glamorous studios of Hollywood, to the glittering casinos of Macau and the secretive dynastic court of Pyongyang, this shocking story uncovers the secret world of the Lazarus Group, their victims and the people who have tried - and ultimately, so far failed - to stop them.

It was a dark and stormy night … Ok, what happened? But, wait — How stormy? Lightning? Thunders? How dark? Where?

You could leave that to the listener/reader's imagination when you tell a story, but when you need to visualize it, how you render it will lead the audience into the story. 

In this episode, we welcome back Rafael and Carey to continue our videogame and storytelling conversation we started last month [  https://audiosignals.simplecast.com/episodes/games-blockchain-cloud-storytelling-and-metaverse-a-conversation-with-rafael-brown-and-carey-dsouza-audio-signals-podcast-with-marco-ciappelli-sean-martin  ]

We started with some old-school Arcade Games talks and how the evolution of technology has changed how we can build scripts and stories for games and movies. Of course, there are many parallels and divergences in the gaming and movie industry, but there is a big lesson on how knowing the technology you have at hand can help or damage the story you choose to tell. 

We also discuss the differences between large and indie projects and the best environment to promote creativity outside the box: budgets, time pressure, team size, available technology, a good story, and what else can add to the perfect mix that can promote innovation and genius?

Is the book always better than the movie? Or the game? Or what is it that makes great? Maybe it is the correct adaptation to the medium used, and sometimes maybe is even better to tell a partially different story — BladeRunner case, anyone?!

We can say that Marshall McLuhan was right: "The medium is the message" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message]

BTW, did you watch Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers? [ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3513500/ ]
Well, according to Rafael, it should be on your list!

Enjoy this conversation, catch up on the first one, and stay tuned for more!
