Rocksteady's long-in-development multiplayer-centric Suicide Squad project has finally reemerged in anticipation of its February 2024 release on PlayStation 5, and the reception has been mixed at best. Kill the Justice League is entering a tough market wielding an oft-failed commercial strategy, but it's also true that DC products have the potential to be huge, and WB yearns for this style of game to truly hit. There's another possibility too, though: That everyone involved has made a ve...

For the fourteenth year in a row, Xbox is not going to be part of the Game Of The Year conversation. From fanboys to game developers, it feels like the industry has hit a boiling point when it comes to the way particular nominees are handled. Is it time for separate committees to be established for each category? Is it time to see The Game Awards for the marketing show is really is? Does any of this matter at all? We received a staggering amount of write-ins on the subject from all walks of l...

Please welcome writer and producer Nick Calandra back to Sacred+ for his third visit to our show. Indeed, they say the third time's a charm, and thus Nick's timing is impeccable. We speak with the ex-EIC of The Escapist fresh off the launch of his mega-successful new Patreon endeavor Second Wind. And I say 'we', because I'm (Colin) also gratefully joined by The Washington Post's Gene Park, who requested to be co-pilot alongside me as we dive into The Escapist's recent exodus, the loyalty...

This Is Dustin. We have created a new episode of Punching Up and it’s ready for you to listen to right now.
The Legend of Zelda movie is real, but there are some deep concerns. First, is live action the right approach for the franchise? Second, are the people attached to the project the right choice? Lastly, Nintendo has opted to make the film with Sony instead of their recent partner, Universal. Let’s break down all the details and see what we can glean from the information we cu...

It's time for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by the cast of Defining Duke, MrMattyPlays and Lord Cognito.

Matty explores the ways his life has morphed, and how it needs to continue to adapt if he's to sustain his perfect pocket of happiness. Spurred on by something Chris Ray Gun noted in passing on Sacred Symbols a few ...

While KnockBack typically revolves around the video games, films, TV shows, and so on of the past, some of the most-popular and most-requested episodes of the show over the last six-ish years relate to Moriarty family stories. Today's release is one such episode. Using a certain recent wedding as a jumping-off point, we thought we'd go a level or two deeper and discuss the physics and chemistry of a typical family gathering in the Moriarty family, both yesterday and today. After all, endless ...

Lockmort has become a legendary figure in the Last Stand community. For years, he's been taking the piss out of us with hilarious edits of our content that somehow always get better. So, who is the man behind the edits? In this episode, Ben and I (Dustin) sit down with Lock to delve into his history, his career as an editor, and the magic behind his process of creating edits.

Sony Corp's quarterly financials have finally arrived, and they carry within good news for the PlayStation brand. PS5 is selling briskly, third party games are moving, monthly active users are steady, and so on. But this recent report portends rougher times ahead, too, especially when it comes to PlayStation's vaunted dozen-or-so 'games-as-a-service' that once promised to help shepherd in a new era of Sony exclusive. And all of this against the backdrop of a mysteriously-exiting CEO? With Con...

It was a bit chilly this weekend as a Blizzard seems to have blown through Xbox. That works, right? Anyway, during Blizzcon, we received a close up look at what's to come for the likes of Diablo, World Of Warcraft, and much more. More importantly is Phil Spencer's stage presence and the subsequent interview done with Blizzard President Mike Ybarra that has grown the expectations of "old Blizzard" making a return. Blizzard Entertainment has long been under the thumb of Activision with much of ...

PlayStation 5's meteoric sales year has largely been missing something very specific: A major AAA first party exclusive. Coincidentally, Sony's prolonged silence literally couldn't have happened during a more premiere year for third parties -- so, bullet potentially dodged -- but still, we've been left wanting in this regard. Finally, Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 has swung in to capture our hearts and minds, and capture them it did. A sequel to 2018's Spider-Man on PS4 and 2020's Miles Morales on...

Thanks to popular demand, Sacred Sweethearts is back! Micah and Holly return to the mics to discuss your write-ins questions, comments, concerns, thoughts and ideas. Is the ability to turn off the PS5 startup beep a godsend, or is the complaint unwarranted in the first place? Is fan service something to seek out, or is a necessary byproduct of anime? Why do women love Stardew Valley? Please enjoy the episode.
