Sacred Symbols, Episode 391 | Our Favorite PlayStation Moments of 2025

The holiday season is here, which means we're off for a bit. But, of course, new episodes never cease rolling out! Thus, we've arrived at the first of our two Christmastime traditions: Recounting the most consequential 'moments' in the world of PlayStation and beyond for the past calendar year. As usual, we've each selected five choices for 15 total, and they touch on topics like the first concrete rumors surrounding PlayStation 6, Helldivers 2's surprise migration to Xbox as Microsoft itself...

Defining Duke, Episode 260 | Xbox Ends 2025 in a Scary Spot...

Xbox has seen a lot of changes in the last two years and that's putting it lightly. Everything from a disconnect with their own base to price hikes galore has led to a near complete disenfranchisement with the brand. Today, the Dukes gather and do their best to scrounge up the positives in a relatively down year. What shined so brightly in 2025 for Xbox? Well, I'm glad you asked...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 491 | Dagan Says Hello

It's me, Colin. Please welcome my brother Dagan to Sacred Symbols+, his first appearance on any Last Stand show since this past spring. To be sure, Dagan's departure was sudden and unexpected, and he's been eager to return to our 'airwaves' to talk about why he had to jet, what he's been up to, and when we might expect to see him again in the future. Does this episode of Sacred+ have anything to do with PlayStation, or even gaming at all? No, not particularly. But I couldn't figure out anothe...

A Much-Shorter-Than-Usual Holiday Message From the Desk of Colin Moriarty

Greetings and salutations! It’s me, Colin.

It’s my annual tradition to write a message to the audience at the end of each calendar year, and last year, I wrote you a borderline-insane 3,500 word novella. I won’t be doing that this time around, mostly because I’m so tired and burned-out that I’m basically running on fumes. Honestly, I also don’t have nearly as much to say. That’...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 390 | But Without Me, You're Only You

Let's be honest: This whole Light of Motiram thing was shady from the get-go. A game that blatantly rips off Guerrilla's Horizon franchise, created by the publisher-and-developer combo that was later revealed to have unsuccessfully pitched Sony a Horizon spin-off beforehand? They call that 'dead to rights.' And now it's official, because Sony's lawsuit against Tencent over this facsimile has been dropped with prejudice, and the game has been delisted from Steam. That's a win for PlayStation, ...

Defining Duke, Episode 259 | The AI Conversation Has Reached A Breaking Point...

As Lord Cognito long predicted, the AI conversation reached a breaking point online when people saw one of the industry's golden children announced that they'll be using generative AI for their game's development. That team is Larian Studios who is responsible for the Divinity franchise alongside the incredible Baldur's Gate 3. The CEO of Larian, Swen Vincke, said that it will be used for mostly pre-production stuff along the lines of whiteboxing or even company e-mails. However, he also let ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 490 | Netflix, Warner Bros., and You: A Useful Primer

Please welcome long time friend-of-the-show and LSM legal analyst Rick Hoeg back to Sacred+. Today, I (Colin) bring Hoeg into the breach for one simple reason: A proposed entertainment merger has piqued all of our interest. This time around, the proceedings don't have a whole lot to do with video games (though they're certainly involved), but instead a streaming behemoth and an Old Hollywood titan potentially on the precipice of becoming one big, bloated, unnecessarily large company. Who bene...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 389 | Something's Magnetic Here

The Game Awards have come and gone, leaving in its wake a whirlwind of game announcements, release date reveals, and fresh perspectives on our industry. Indeed, there's something for everyone, a draw for all comers. For starters, what's new? Two Star Wars offerings, Larian's secret Divinity project, Jonathan Blow's long-awaited Order of the Sinking Star, a sequel to Remedy's Control, Toshihiro Nagoshi's anticipated Yakuza rival Gang of Dragon, two Tomb Raider games in the form of a remake and...
