The new shooting game, Marathon, has had a solid start, reaching around 88,000 players at its peak on Steam. While that’s a good number for many games, it’s causing some concern because Marathon is a huge, ongoing live service game.

Given that massive investment, some are questioning whether Marathon can be successful in the long run.

Shows like The Bear, The Queen’s Gambit, Arcane, Succession, and Severance are now considered some of the greatest TV shows ever made. However, with so many popular and acclaimed series, other deserving shows often get overlooked. That’s what’s happened to I May Destroy You, which is arguably one of the best shows of the last ten years.

I first discovered The Glass Cannon podcast in 2015 while learning to play the Pathfinder roleplaying game. It started as a podcast covering a Pathfinder campaign, and I’ve been impressed to see it grow into the Glass Cannon Network, which now features actual play shows for many different tabletop RPGs. I was excited to talk with Troy Lavallee, the CEO and founder of the network, and Jason Charles Miller, a musician and cast member on Legacy of the Ancients. Our conversation covered the challenges of expanding from a single show to a full network, what makes an actual play podcast feel genuine, and how to capture the fun and teamwork of tabletop RPGs in a streamed format.
Many Marvel fans remember that the company faced serious financial difficulties in the late 1990s. This led them to begin talks with Sony in 1998, offering the rights to some of their popular characters.
