The intro to art is often the most important part. Video games are no exception. If a dev team can pull off a good intro, they likely will be able to pull off a good game. To craft the perfect intro takes a lot of coordination between the directors, producers, musicians and the dev team. When it's done right, it almost always spells success for the rest of the game. In this episode, we dip back into many of the games we've covered on this podcast. Games like Xenogears, Bioshock, Vagrant story and more!

Top 10 Intros That Make Games LEGENDS | State of the Arc Podcast

Freunde und Nachbarn,

ein Jochen hat mal zu viel getrunken und trinkt jetzt gar nichts mehr, der andere Jochen hat noch nie was getrunken und trinkt immer noch nichts – also die Idealbesetzung für einen Podcast rund um Alkohol in Videospielen. Mal erhöht eine Pulle Schnaps die HP, mal die Stärke, dann sinkt die Intelligenz, der Bildschirm wird verschwommen oder die Steuerung macht wilde Sachen, die dem besoffenen Herumtorkeln ähneln sollen … so richtig zu fassen kriegen Spiele den Alkohol meistens nicht, und das ist schade, weil die seltenen guten Beispiele zeigen, was man damit (und der Sucht danach) alles anstellen könnte.

Außerdem sprechen wir natürlich über bierbäuchige, saufende Zwerge (männlich! *Grunzlaute*) und – vermeintlich – weibische Elfen, die ihr Quellwasser dekantieren und sich überhaupt nicht blöd dabei vorkommen. Und wir stellen die Frage aller Fragen: Warum schließen Männer eigentlich nie beim Kuchenessen Freundschaft?

Freut euch!

ART BY @odraudbass

MADUBZY - WONDERFULL (DIRECT DL)

In this episode the boys dip back into the world of video games for a retrospective on the Bioshock series. Starting with Bioshock 1 & 2 The first game, an art-house horror dressed up like a Triple-A FPS and it's flawed but fun enough sequel. Also talk of Trump's tariff insanity, what makes a sequel good or bad, our thoughts on gooners and how capitalism will always turn into fascism.  

#80: Bioshock 1/2: Objectivist Son or Collectivist Daughter

A mix based on the video game "Bioshock" by 2K (2007). I interpret Bioshock as a critical commentary on the novel "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand (1957).

A Tribute to Bioshock: A Critique of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand / DnB/Open Format Mix

Hi ! my name is Zaba the Frog. 

I’m a genre-blending DJ with an unbelievable passionate love for music. 

I specialise in drum and bass, but I’ve never confined myself to one style. I focus on open-format sets that feature everything from jungle, electro-swing, trance, house, and garage and try my best to craft something touching and beautiful that also pushes boundaries.

Beyond mixing, I am an English teacher that tries to bring literature to life through music, transforming iconic works like The Great Gatsby, 1984, War and Peace, The Legend of Zelda, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and War of the Worlds into dynamic, storytelling-driven DJ sets. I’ve landed guest mixes for Circuit Sounds, Burton Bass, She Beats, Full Spectrum Bristol and Secret Rave Society, with upcoming features for other collectives on the way. Books and video games were very special to me growing up, as much as music, so I like to bring them to life.

DJ wise, I have opened for Nicky Blackmarket, won the Shape Up Sounds DJ competition with my dark/minimal blends, and I try to bring fresh energy to the scene. I will be opening for Kara for Impulse Audio/Dubsquatch Recordings’ event in June and am due my debut for Reload in May. I stream weekly for MetaHertz Radio, have been recently involved with Dubsquatch Recordings, I’m an admin for Off The Track Recordings and have a residency for Evolution Radio UK. 

As the founder of Croakheads, a grassroots DJ collective (dedicated to creative control and injecting new ideas into drum and bass - and other genres), I am all about pushing the culture forward into new, creative and exciting, experimental directions. I feel like the scene could really do with a breath of fresh air and I want to try to encapsulate that.

With a background in orchestra, theatre, and musicals, plus playing the clarinet, flute, guitar, and singing solos/choir, my passion for music runs deep. I try to blend technical precision with raw creative expression. 

Whether behind the decks or behind an instrument, one thing is clear: I just really, really, really love music.

Also Liam reviews Jake Tapper's Biden book, Trump going full boomer, how fucked up early 20th century America was and reveling in the simple joy of shooting everything that moves.

Interesse an 100% unabhängigem Spielejournalismus - ohne Werbung, direkt finanziert von den Menschen, für die er gemacht wird? An einem Spielemagazin zum Hören? An Bier? Dann schauen Sie doch bitte mal hierher: “Auf ein Bier” ist zwar der zigtausendste Podcast über Computerspiele – aber der erste und einzige (und beste), in dem das Gespräch von einem Bier (oder sieben) unterstützt wird. Wem das nicht genügt, um Stammhörer zu werden, der kann seinen deutschen Pass beim Weg nach draußen an der Garderobe abgeben. Für die wird übrigens keine Haftung übernommen.

Die drei Menschen, die da über Spiele reden, sind Andre Peschke (ehemals Krawall.de, GameStar), Jochen Gebauer (ehemals GameStar-Chefredakteur Print) und Sebastian Stange (ebenfalls ehemals GameStar... man erkennt ein Muster). Zusammen haben sie circa 40 Jahre Branchenerfahrung als Journalisten in der Spielebranche. Jochen muss man sich als distinguierten, belesenen, gutaussehenden (Anm. d. Red.), aber desillusionierten zynischen Print-Journalisten vorstellen. Und Andre … Andre stellt man sich besser gar nicht vor. Wer es trotzdem nicht lassen kann (für unbeaufsichtige Selbstversuche wird übrigens noch weniger Haftung übernommen als für die Garderobe), denke sich einfach ein Glas, das gleichzeitig halb leer und halb voll ist, und haue sich anschließend einen stumpfen Gegenstand auf den Kopf.

Spelfarsan med vänner är showen för dig som vill få ut det där lilla extra i din relation till spel. Vi pratar nyheter, har spännande gäster och snackar gaming.

Spelfarsan med vänner finns också på Youtube och har ett Instagram-konto.

Our podcast breaks down the techniques of great storytelling across our favorite games, movies, literature, and music. I also occasionally upload music I've arranged or composed!
