  • Destin’s great

    Always liked Destin; always thought he was a good host and podcaster - even if some of his takes can be a bit wild and fun 😉. Only a few eps in and he’s had some great guests. Def recommend giving it a listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marvel Rivals Dev Says Hero Shooters Are Just Getting Started
Q: How did Luna Snow come to life, and what was it like concepting a whole original character with a duality design and a K-pop influence?
We knew the hero needed ice damage and healing, there were no Marvel characters like that, so we created Luna Snow with a duality concept—light and dark— drawing from moon imagery and a Korean pop culture sensibility, and we collaborated with other creators to shape her identity.
Marvel Rivals Dev Says Hero Shooters Are Just Getting Started
Q: Let's hear what you had to say. When I'm editing this later, can you give me your name and title, and how you would like to be credited?
My name is Danny Koo, Executive Producer of Marvel Games.
From DayZ to Unity’s Drama Dean Hall Talks Indie, Media, & More
Q: You've agreed to discuss the story today. Can you tell me why it's concerning what is happening with these licenses and what's going on?
The core concern is that access to essential development tools can be remotely turned off, potentially blocking long-running projects and harming teams that rely on those licenses, which introduces a significant risk for indie studios and their ability to deliver to customers.
EVE Vanguard – First Look at Exclusive Gameplay + Dev Interview | Save State Plus
Q: Could you ever imagine a world where your existing EVE players recruit FPS fans to help them garner an edge in the political and economic landscape?
Yes, recruitment and cross-pollination have already started, with players forming corporations and Discord channels to mobilize for Vanguard, which demonstrates how integrated play and community-driven recruitment can influence both games.
Deadpool VR Dev Interview | Gamescom 2025
Q: What challenges do you face in VR development, and how do you balance comfort with fast-paced combat?
