highlights from Sony's PlayStation Showcase (streamed on 25th May). And Topic of the Week "The Importance of QA on Modern Games " with our special guest Tom Brown (UGL QA Lead).

Special mention to Chin Stroker Vs Punter, I paraphrased their Superman IV comment and kind of butchered it 😜 - FYI 15 years of podcasting and still going strong! Check them out here.

*Apologies to any Trek fans out there, I have incerted a cheeky little nod right at the end 🖖

This week we have been chatting with our special guest Tim Chaney, who was there at the start of video games becoming mass market, having brought Virgin I from $1M to 250M in 3 years. And discussing the rise of video games becoming the predominant platform in the world of home entertainment.

This week we have been chatting about Free-to-Play-to-Earn with Special Guests Chris and Maciej Founders of Wizarre.  Wizarre is a worms-style game where you upgrade your wizard characters and battle them out in 1v1 battles, you can also trade your wizards, lands and other enhancements as NFTs.

We explore the advantages of blockchain gaming and address the concerns of non-web3.0 game players by creating a good and fun Free-to-Play game with the option of embracing the web3.0 game features. And address the importance of removing any barriers and providing a seamless onboarding experience and eliminating any apprehensions. Players should have the choice to embrace blockchain elements, should they desire to elevate their gaming experience to the next level.

Apologies for the background noise during the first minutes, it does only last for about a minute.

Footnote: I am writing this description on the Glorious 25th May, and as a Terry Pratchett fan I am fighting the urge to call the Wizarre characters Wizzards as an ode to the great Discworld Creator. But instead, I thought a cheeky footnote would be equally fitting. ;)

This episode was recorded on (you guessed it!) May 4th! So obviously we had to take advantage, and since we are fans of that specific franchise it seemed churlish not to :)

So, this week we discussed Movies vs Video game tie-ins and, of course, Star Wars video games! We hope you enjoy it :)
