This week's episode of Digital Coffee focuses on Sons of the Forest, an update to reduce CPU usage from Nvidia, Discord's Game to AI, Rebel Cop, Rogue City, Outer Worlds Space Choice Edition, Returnals, and Overwatch 2. The Sons of the Forest update includes new features such as binoculars, hang gliders, defensive walls, and mid-game boss fights. It also adds new death animations, variations for cannibals, and regular puffies to drink from. The balance of the game has also been improved by increasing health on creeps depending on the amount of multiplayer players, and boosting the rest amount from 0.3 to 0.7.
The conversation discussed a variety of updates and fixes to the game, Kelvin Ketch fish order, and the Nvidia Geoforce 531.26 hotfixes nvidia container. The updates and fixes to the game discussed included shotgun damage, better AI responsiveness, and fixing a cave opening in late game. Kelvin Ketch fish order will end after a time, and the Nvidia update fixes the high CPU usage when exiting a game. Nvidia also has been having some issues with games stuttering and stopping for a moment. This conversation discussed the importance of these updates and fixes, as they ensure better gameplay and smoother running of games.
The conversation discusses the issues associated with the use of AI on Discord. It is noted that AI often takes credit for art without giving the correct credit to the original creator, and that Chat GPT is politically biased against conservatives. It is also pointed out that AI is new and fun, but the newness will wear off if people don't want it. The speaker expresses a desire for an opt-in option rather than an opt-out option. Ultimately, it is agreed that AI can be problematic and should be used with caution.
The conversation is about the growing presence of AI in our lives, and how it can be annoying to have to opt out of something instead of being able to opt in. It then moves on to the new game Robocop, and the speaker's excitement for it. They talk about how it looks like it will be true to the original version, but they are curious as to how the health system will work. Then the conversation shifts to the Outerworlds Spacer Edition and its performance issues. The speaker expresses their frustration about the frame rate issues, and how gamers expect their games to run smoothly. It is clear that the conversation is about the changing technology landscape and how it is impacting gaming.
Show Notes:
(01:25) Sons of the Forest update
(03:05) Nvidia hotfix for High CPU usage
(04:09) Discord going all in on AI
(06:49) Robocop Rogue City looks fun

Battlefield 2042 and Overwatch 2 are great games. BF 2042 took some time to get there but every season is making the experience better. Overwatch 2 for it's many problems is still fun at times, but could get rid of the map pool. I'm still excited to see what these seasons bring and future seasons.

In This Episode… Brett Deister talks about the Total War Warhammer series and the updates to Overwatch. He also talks about some Logitech gear and Death loop twitch. He then talks about the Nvidia press conference and why gamers are so mad at them. The conversation discusses the different gaming consoles that are available and the pros and cons of each. The Xbox and PC seem to be the most popular, but there are also options for the Pass and ultimate. The GeForce one is also mentioned as being a good option for gamers. The conversation then turns to discussing Overwatch 2 and the changes that have been made to the game. The biggest change is the new passive for the DPS role, which gives a speed and reload speed boost after getting an elimination. In the conversation, the speaker talks about the changes that are coming to the game Overwatch. They mention how some characters are getting nerfed, like Junker Queen and Bastion, while others are getting buffed, like Mercy and Sombra. They also talk about how some of the changes will be good, like reducing the cooldown on Salva's hack, while others might not be as good, like increasing the spread on Reaper's shotguns. The speaker argues that the current hack time for Sombra is too long, and that it should be reduced to 1.75 seconds. They also argue that her hacking ability needs to have a bit more lead time so that players have more time to react. In general, the speaker believes that Sombra's abilities need to be tweaked in order to make her more viable in the current meta. Also, talking about the Nvidia announcement of the 4000 series cards.

In This Episode… It’s that time of season again. Fall is in the air, and that means big releases getting announced. COD is back because it always has a new game. Overwatch 2 release some news about their new hero and battle pass, and Assassin’s Creed does not deliver the best message. Even though these are big announcements, I did not get too excited. Maybe because I’ve done it before, but I don’t think the big spectacle is where the budget should go. Give me the game updates.

In This Episode… I love gaming. It’s a great hobby. However, some people cannot distinguish between games and real life. I know that life is hard, but gaming is to escape for a time. Not make it your reality. This week I will talk about how we must stop thinking this way and live life.

In This Episode…It’s been an interesting week. Microsoft is in the beginning stages with buying or merging with Activision Blizzard. It was a complete shock to the gaming world, but Microsoft is not innocent of anything. They had the deal working on for a while and helped drive the stock down by statements from Phil. They are not clean in this deal and are getting this company at a discount. We will talk about this and why content creators need to do better at delivering opinions about something lengthy and still saying that Microsoft “bought” Activision Blizzard. Get those coffee cups ready for this one.

In This Episode…Pro Tip: Don’t lecture your fanbase. It never works and it basically makes them leave. G4 you were once a wonderful TV show to see game reviews. Now, after the reboot you’re are a terrible place to get awful hot takes on progressive politics. You neither fun nor insightful. Adam, the “sess” pool is the proper tile for where your mind is headed. You were once what I looked up to, now, I just shake my head at what you’ve become. I wish G4 you came back to your glory days, but, that’s all behind us. RIP G4

In This Episode…I’ve been a little late reviewing Cyberpunk 2077. However, I am ready to give my review on cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the RPG game on the Cyberpunk pen and paper game, which arose to fame thanks to legendary sci-fi author William Gibson’s novel.
In CD Projekt RED’s adaptation, you play as V, a mercenary who lives in Night City amidst a world of cyber enhanced street warriors, tech-savvy netrunners and megacorps.
V has to hustle his way up through fierce gangs, mega-corps, and other nefarious enemies. Is it any good? Find out in this episode of Digital Coffee!

In This Episode…Call of Duty has had a yearly release for over a decade. The unfortunate thing is that is there is no new innovation or they come very slow. The good thing is that you get a new game every year. However, most people are upset with Call of Duty and Activision Blizzard for recent events. I don’t think returning to WW2 will save Call of Duty. On the bright side, we get a remastered Quake game!

In This Episode…Ads are always inevitable when it comes to getting more revenue. Everyone does it and most of the time it’s bad. That has not stopped the gaming companies from trying to do it, too. EA tried in Battlefield 2142 and failed. This time it seemed like they were going to do it again, but, for now, no. I’ll discuss why it’s bad in full-price games, but, free-to-play is fine. Also gaming updates and Cooler Master making ridiculous products.

In This Episode…We have Computex going on this week and while AMD did have some great announcements; I feel tech and gaming influencers were hailing AMD’s praises and a little early for FSR.

Second, AMD is not using any machine learning or AI, so I am impressed with Overwatch and No Man’s Sky updates!

In This Episode…I discuss the latest new games, gaming updates and news. Personally, I like that GOG Galaxy 2.0 is in open beta. It’s the best game launcher I’ve used so far. However, Epic is terrible and so is the gaming and tech media for attempting to say it’s “saving the gaming world.” It’s not, the launcher is terrible, and the only thing going for it is the money they spend on developers. I more thoughts on that and the rest of the gaming industry. Enjoy!

It's getting ridiculous. The download file sizes for video games is insane. Call of Duty Modern Warfare is 128 GB. Red Dead Redemption 2 is 100 GB. There needs to be a new way to download games. I talk about this and why with data caps, it's getting difficult to download games. This episodes discuss a better alternative to these ballooning file sizes.

Another AAA game another controversy. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 have an image problem with gamers. However, it's a business decision to continue selling microtransactions. The problem is with gamers. We do buy them. The market is in a healthy growth with DLCs and microtransactions. Even if a group of gamers had this practice, its rising and has already overtaken the traditional model of gaming. Find out how much it's taken over and why Activision chose to do an exclusive to the Playstation 4.

I talked briefly about the two controversies plaguing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019. After seeing furthermore information about it's understandable why gamers are upset. However, I'm going to take a different approach and try to explain why the "higher ups" made the decisions they made. A disclaimer: I do not work for Activision Blizzard, but, I do own stock (one) to be exact.

Oh boy! Another dramafest for gamers. COD: Modern Warfare has one part of a mode that is exclusive. So? Why does it matter? I share my opinion on this episode. The reason I break from the rest of influential gamers is because there seems to be a narrow minded approach. I did play the COD Beta too. However, it's important to note that this industry is changing. Whether we like it or not. That's why subscription will be next approach most companies take. Buying anything will soon require a subscription or the product itself will be more expensive. That's why I go into further detail in this episode!

Before steam, getting new games on PC require a gamer to go to the store. It was yours after the transaction was complete. Now, we have several digital distribution sites, and, no one really owns anything anymore. Excluding GOG or Good Old Games, once you buy it from steam, a gamer must have an account and an internet connection. Now, comes the rise of subscription based gaming. Buying a new game requires a credit card, and an internet connection. Once a user stops paying, no more games. It's the new future every gamer will eventually live in. It will not just be downloading several launcher, it will be downloading one and choosing that one subscription package to the games you like. Publishers will be back in control of what gamers will or can play.

Video games get become the convenient scapegoat when horrific acts of violence happen. The problem is there are many studies but few find significant link between acts of violence and violent video games. It's fortunate that politicians seem to always want to link video games with act of violence. This week I will discuss why that's not the case. Spoiler: It may help reduce violence.
Politicians only care about easy convenient fixes. Video games fit that mold.

Time and again, we see marketing going off the rails. It's due to most agency being in major cities and not understanding the makeup of their audience. It can be to score awards or give some social points from the minority. MARKETING is about growing a business, then, why do they market to 8% of the population? It's because marketing has lost it's way. Everything changes in marketing, and influential marketers have tried to instill their ideologies instead of instilling solid tactics. I'll explain why being neutral has a big payoff. This is where NEUTRAL MARKETING comes in. Find out more!

Loot shooters gained popularity with the launch of the original Borderlands. It morphed the shooter genre to emphasis loot. It was a great game and the sequel made it even better. Then came the live loot shooters. Destiny tried to take the formula and make it better, but, there were problems. The Division made loot shooters 3rd person and they failed to push the genre to new heights. Now we have Anthem, Destiny 2, and Division 2 which are all live loot shooters. The problem, is they pale in comparison to single player experience Borderlands gave gamers. It's one of the reasons why loot shooters should be single player. Find out why it's a better spot in single player experience.

It's that time again! Apple has announced new products and new services for Apple fans to buy. 2019 is the year that Apple fully goes into the subscription-based model. Plus, the return of the iPad Mini. Many people thought this product was dead, but, Apple had other plans. Most of the new products are updated with little or no new advancements. Time will tell if the move to a subscription on media will pay off for Apple. The music service is going strong, but, with increased competition for video, Apple's chances of success are slim. Time is the best indicator of what will stick and what will bomb.

Loot shooters, they are a sub-genre of shooters that emphasizes on getting loot and has some RPG elements. Their premise sounds great, but, many developers do not make them great. We have Destiny, Division, and now Anthem. They have so many problems with a little fixing. It falls into the same problems from early RGBs, they are lots of repetitive missions and the end game content is very light. Loot shooters are not going away, but, they need to get better. Ubisoft seems to have learned from their mistakes, but, how many more of these games need to have terrible end game content? Find out the problems with loot shooters and how to fix, plus, my review for Anthem.

It's always a sticky situation when companies try to censor their users. It happened with Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Now it's Bumble's turn.

Banning an image does not make your community “safe.” I'll discuss the ridiculous statements and how ignorant it sounds on this episode.

SJWs takeover was a slow malicious turn to terrible writing. It has infected Bioware. Bioware was a great developer. Their stories were always top notch. The reason, they had a checklist.

BF1 DLC is finally here for premium members and it is interesting. I am not sure about the new mode, but, the maps are pretty good. They have a good mix of open tank battles and confined spaces for infantry. I still have to play more of it to get a feel if this is a good DLC. I am not a fan of the unlock system and I wish DICE would just leave it as a different unlock system. Oh well, there's are pros and cons to everything.

The AMD Ryzen chips launched this week to some interesting benchmarks. The funny thing is the benchmarks are not bad for gaming, they are not better than Intel. Every benchmark I have read has the frame rates above 60 frames per second. It's weird seeing people flip out over nothing.

BF1 or Battlefield 1 got its winter update. It was a great update. I personally do not care about ribbons. I think they are useless and people will get plenty of these ribbons. I never cared for them in BF3 and BF4. It's a personal opinion. I do think DICE needs to look at some other things they missed, but, they are doing a good job balancing for the most part. We will see what happens when the new DLC comes out.
Twitch released some stats about their site and streamers. Unsurprising, Finland is the friendliest place to game. Find out on this episode.

He has over 50 million subscribers on YouTube. Unless he does something so egregious, you are getting mad over nothing. Find out what I have to say about this in my show.
Also, Verizon brings unlimited data back. This is in response to what T-Mobile doing well. They finally have a response to losing customers to its competitor. I do not think it will be the same as before, but, it is a nice change. People loved unlimited data and that will always be a fact.

Google ads, they are effective. Even Google has figured out the right formula for their own products. However, Google ads to affect ads. This is going to be an increasing problem the more Google pushes into products. Companies should try to beat their ads. It's not right given that Google knows their system very well, but, that is the world we live in.
The funny part is seeing Facebook activity going down. This may be what most people were feeling. It has been felt for a while that people do not use Facebook as much as they use to. This is why Facebook has moved into developing countries. They know people use other sites or have canceled their accounts.

Today's Episode
Activision lays off some staff from its developers. This is because of Call of Duty and missing Q4 projections. It's sad and unfortunate to hear people losing their jobs. However, Call of Duty is in a rut. It has had some upgrades to the game, but, releasing games every year makes it boring. We shall see if Call of Duty in 2017 will be different and better. I do hope it does. Even though I do not prefer playing the game, I still like seeing competition from these developers.
I've been playing For Honor open beta a little. It's interesting. This could be a surprise hit for Ubisoft if they can keep it competitive and have an equal distribution between the factions. That was the problem with Planetside 2. In the beginning, one faction dominated. We shall see.

Netflix blunder is nothing new now. This is the same thing every business is doing. Hate a specific group because it is socially acceptable. The best argument is that if you did this to any other group, that would be horrible. However, why is it acceptable to do it to white people? Netflix should be prepared for some loss in subscribers and a hit in their revenue. People will vote with their wallets. Be prepared.
Twitter looks to be marching towards censorship. This is looking more like a full control on what people can say on their network. Funny thing, when they were new, they wanted public discourse. Now, they would rather tell you it's not good.

The Super Bowl. It's a time for people to get together and enjoy two teams fighting for a title. One of the reasons why the Super Bowl got so popular is because of the commercials. Businesses decided to make their commercials spectacles that were funny. Football brought people together. It did not matter what political affiliation you were, it was time to watch a great game… hopefully. Now, that seems like an impossible task. This year some businesses decided to go political.
However, it was not all of them. Some still showed their funny side, but, others missed the ball. In this tense time in America, businesses need to understand that it is getting worse. You can stand for something, but, be prepared to suffer some consequences for that. Audi is the best example. They decided to make a commercial about gender issues and forget they were selling cars.
This episode is all about the commercials and other things that happened at the Super Bowl. Mostly, it has to with the messaging and making sure you do not do something that will set a group off or a smaller group. Find out more down below

Today's Episode
Oh, tech media, what the hell is your problem. Yes, you should not bow to all of your reader's whims, but, berating them is not good for your business. If your readers are telling you to report on tech more than politics, that may be something to look at. If this same group grows larger and larger, then, it's time to listen. Writing an article about how they should shut up, means you should be doing the same thing. It's time to stop pretending you have the moral authority to tell your readers they are wrong. Stop.
This leads me to the tech companies. Stop. Your arguments are terrible about the executive order on immigration. First, it's not a ban. Stop calling it that. Second, no, your business was started by a White American. Last, we are not a nation of immigrants and stop using that argument. We were, but how long does it take to not be an immigrant?

Today's Episode
Starbucks virtue marketing. It's similar to virtue signaling. Too close from what I've seen. This is a way for a company to capitalize on a political controversy for monetary gain. They have done it before and will do it again. The problem with this is the company equates that every customer is a monolith. That is not true. No one agrees with you 100 percent. I do not care how close you are with your friend, there will be disagreements. Starbucks is painting itself into a corner, if they are not careful, their sales could drop.
The reason is my generation. My generation is the best virtue signaling group I have ever seen. It needs to stop. You are not making a change and you are forcing businesses into stupid decisions. Culture is a pendulum. One moment, one idea is popular, then years later, it switches. This is usually because of the next generation coming of age. I hope Starbucks weighs its risks, because this is a bitter fight in American culture, be sure you know what this means.

Resident Evil 7, what can you say about it? It was very different from Resident Evil 6. I played and finished the game this week. It scared the hell out of me. I was very gruesome too. If you cannot stand lots of gore, this is not the game for you. It is great to see the survivor horror back in Resident Evil. I talk about why I rather play games than watch movies. Hollywood you really make it easy to skip out on your movies. Your writing is lazy and you do not make new content. Do better. Find out what I think about it and more down below.

Facebook is doing it again! They are copying Snapchat, but, really, just taking Instagram stories and putting it on Facebook. So, they are copying, the copy. They are putting new ads in Messenger and doing away with a personalized trending topic. It's an interesting move for Facebook. I really do not know what to think about this. Then we have Ellen K. Pao. If you do not know her, she is the former CEO of Reddit. She's back on the censorship train. She is calling on Jack to ban the President from Twitter. The funny part is she disabled comments on her Medium post. Find out what I have to say about this and more!

It happened, LinkedIn update is a great step forward in 2017. They unveiled their new web design and it looks great. They were talking about it for months and now they are rolling it out. I will add that I do not have it yet. It's a really slow rollout. If you have not gotten it yet, just sit tight. The update emphasizes content. This is just the push to be more modern on their website. It needed to happen. It's the best gift for social media in 2017!
I also talk about the need for businesses to stay neutral. It is the best policy. Unless you can guarantee there is no backlash and you are on the side that wins, it's a bad idea. If you want to know, Target paid the price for this. The bathroom policy good or bad had a consequence. Their sales went down 20 percent. It was a bad business move. Find out why down below.

DICE had some teases for gamers with the BF1 DLC. It was a quick preview of a new tank and maybe a new elite class. I have and I am still enjoying BF1, I wondering what new items this DLC brings. What is known about the DLC is the French are coming. Probably weapons based on the French army and that's all everyone knows outside of EA and DICE. Halo Wars 2 beta finally reached the PC today. There is only one mode and it's interesting. I played a few rounds and I was surprised how fast and fluid it was. I was not impressed, but, I will give it some time.

Today's Episode
This week we say goodbye to Vine as a social network. It will only live as a camera app now. It's not surprising given that Twitter did not put enough resources into it after the initial buy. The main culprit was live video. Live video eclipsed Vine as the preferred media for social media companies to invest in. This is Twitter's way of finding a path to profitability. It has not done that yet. Will you use Vine Camera?

Today's Episode
Facebook announced new live features for brands. Now you can live stream through your brand page on the web. This means brands can do better live video with better equipment. My brand page does not have it yet, but, social media companies do slow rollouts. The good thing for users is there is a potential for better content. That's what digital marketers are all about! Also, be aware that more live streaming is going to happen. This could make it oversaturated in a matter of years. That means making a plan and calculating what is going to be the best content for your fans.
We now turn to the demise of App.net. I know many of you may not have heard about this, but, it was supposed to be the alternative to Twitter. It was an interesting platform, but, it was too similar. The problem now is new companies copying another platform. Never do that. Be your own platform. Find out more down below.

Twitter is on a roll. Not a good one, though. They announced Twitter dashboard will shut down. Yes, the dashboard app seemed interesting. Allowing brands and businesses to monitor, tweet and schedule all in one app. 2017 is not starting off on the right foot for Twitter. It was a business decision, but, maybe Twitter should focus on Twitter. No more other apps, just Twitter. Let's hope Twitter finds its way.
However, Facebook is finding a way to repair its relationship with publishers and reports. They have launched a new project dedicated to journalism. This gives them tools and a better way to live stream. It should be interesting to see if this pays off.

Vine is shutting down soon. This is not a surprise to anyone. The social platform was not supported by Twitter and it focused on live streaming. The audience dwindled and it is shutting down. It will live on as a camera, but, take a backseat to Periscope. It's a shame to how this all went down, but, six-second videos did not need a standalone platform. This is the best alternative. It is a reminder that everything can die and build your audience on different platforms is a wise decision. There are other platforms to do short video. There is no shortage of that. Facebook did a short update to brand pages. It's an interesting way to get business to post different content. I wonder if it will be any good. Only time will tell.

Today's Episode
It's January and that means CES is back! CES 2017 seems to be about the smart fridges and convincing people about making their homes smart. It's bigger this year. LG and Samsung are trying to persuade people into an always-connected life. Will people buy into it, is the question. There are some grave security questions about always connected devices. None of the companies seem too concerned about it either. This security concern does warrant me to hold off until they address this issue. No one should have their TV or fridge hijacked and told to pay money for it. However, I am hopefully these companies will wise up and invest time and money into it. This is the best way to get more customers and ensure they stay loyal.

Today's Episode
Oh, 2016. You had some memorable games this year. This episode I talk about my best of 2016 gaming list. I have my list and I did check it twice. This was the best game to come out of 2016. It was a good year for strategy and first-person shooters. I will miss 2016 because we got some great titles and the rise of VR. 2017 should tell us if VR is here to stay or a bust. Here's to more exciting games in 2017. I think 2017 is the year of the RPG.

It's funny how people got mad at Star Citizen for changing engines, when, they really didn't.
I hope this modder does finish his X-Wing project.

Today's Episode
Well, look at that, 2016 is almost done. Isn't it glorious? Yes! This episode is going to be looking ahead to the tech future! Plus, some tech news. I will look back at what happened in 2016 and what I want to see in 2017. There are just some things that need to die… Flash! Please finally go away! Plus, these dubious bullying rules and “fake news.” I'm looking at you Facebook and Twitter. I want these social networks to stop policing and get rid of tailoring feeds. Tailored feeds are what got us into this hyper drama culture we face. I always think fake news is subjective to the person. We want to believe in what most people deem true. Now, that doesn't mean I don't think there aren't some universal truths. I'm tired of one side calling the other side's reporting fake. That's not a debate and we need to be open to the opposing opinion. However, I do concede there are some sites that do misleading headlines and poor research skills, but, that is a minority. Let's hope some of this gets resolved in 2017!

AMD finally unveiled their newest CPUs. AMD seems to be on the rise and their stocks have been doing very well. The RYZEN processors have a chance to take on Intel. We won't know how good or bad these chips are until 2017. It looks like AMD is getting back to their competitive form next year. It started this year with their RX 400 series graphics cards. 2017 is shaping out to be a great year in CPUs.

Happy Holidays everyone! It's a great time of year. However, timed exclusives are the worst! They the scrooge of the gaming industry. I think it's dumb and publishers need to stop doing them. Just launch everything at the same time. I do not like this update is only going to be on platform A for X number of days. It does seem publishers are saying to not buy it on the platform you prefer. I say, “no more!” Anyways, I do like the festive updates that are coming to Hitman, Overwatch and others. Keep it coming!

The rumors were swirling for weeks about Pebble being acquired. Well, their tech was acquired. That means there no more Pebbles. Fitbit bought the tech and engineers but did not care about anything else. This means Pebble is refunding all the Pebble Time 2 and Pebble Core. It's sad to see a small company with a pretty good product go under. It's even worse to see another company not care brand or old products. Fitbit is going to make some enemies. Time will tell if this was a good deal for Fitbit.

The web is an everything changing environment. We are in 2.0 and now web 3.0 is upon us. It seems to be more about voice search and AMP. This could change, but, we are in an interesting. Yes, everything changes quickly; sometimes more so than we want. I go through why you need to know this and at least look into it. Also, Pinterest launched a new feature called showcase. This allows brands to showcase boards that may not be performing well and products your selling on Pinterest. I like this new feature. I think this could help brands show off their best content. This could bring more engagement to brands if they do it right. If you have not seen it yet, then you don't have a business page. You should probably get on that.

The Game Awards was on Thursday. I did not see it because I was busy. I do think most people do not watch this because of many reasons. They seem to be like all the other awards shows out there. I rarely watch any of them. Why? I really don't care about the awards. It's nice when a game you like get recognition, but, gamer's play games. We care about reviews. That's really about it. Award shows are for the industry. They may have been for the gamers at one time, but, gaming is mainstream now. Oh well, game on!

This is getting tiring. Reddit is becoming the place to never have a thought or a wrong thought. The CEO of Reddit did something wrong. He should be punished for his dubious actions. If he really wants to heal Reddit and the country; maybe you should not silence a group. The problem with these people is they do not understand hate speech. They do not understand free speech and they were riding on the goodwill of their users for so long, they forgot about the trust that was built for the past decade. People should be suspicious of these companies. They do not care about you or your speech.

Businesses care about their brand voice. It is the only thing customers know about the brand… usually. This is the way the company conveys its message to the world. Businesses spend hours on getting it right. However, have we gotten it all wrong? This election shows always being sorry for any perceived outrage may not be the best strategy. Maybe, just maybe, we marketers need to branch out and have a slight offending voice. We all know we cannot please everyone. Businesses do try, but, fail at it all the time. Pleasing everyone is never a great strategy. Losing customers is not either, but, you will lose some customers. I have never seen any business keep all their customers. The reason is, not all of their followers are loyal customers. They may be a one time purchase. It's important to know that and work to make a brand voice that speaks to your loyal customers.

Oh, the Twitter bans strike again! This time they ban their own CEO. I find this poetic justice for all the random bans they've been throwing out lately. People with the wrong idea get banned. Twitter, remember you became popular because of the idea of free speech. People flocked to these sites to share their ideas. Now, not all ideas are good, but, that's not the point. Twitter, it's fine if you ban people for acts of violence of the threat of violence. However, banning people because they are not part of the left is ridiculous. It's time to stop the madness and let people think for themselves. I do not care if you are right or left, I want the ability to share without worrying about being banned. That's ridiculous.

Ubisoft can we talk? Ubisoft hates stories? Apparently, they do not want to write narratives anymore. I cannot remember the last game I played where the story was good. Ubisoft hates stories. They do not want to create interesting characters. The problem with gaming stories is they all seem to follow a pattern. Yes, I know there are only some many ways to write a story. However, the gaming industry is not willing to risk that much. The problem is the best stories can come from those risks. I hope they find a way to do both.

Twitter hates ideas. This is a problem to me. I think the best of Twitter was they allowed people to express their ideas. It didn't matter if you were right, left, center, or didn't care. The problem is Twitter wants groupthink. It thinks that one political ideology is right. I think that if a business uses a free speech in their policies, they do thrive. However, private businesses do not have to follow a free speech model. Twitter needs to follow its own policy and only ban those that do terrible things. Disagreeing is not one.

Oh, GrubHub. This is not your week. The CEO needs better training from his PR team. This will be one of the worst blunders the company has done. I know you may not like political ideologies, but, having people not agree with you is a good thing. He should have seen this as a strength and not made it look like his employees that voted for Trump should quit. This should be a lesson for everyone. There is some backlash from his email. No one is immune to this. Anyways, Periscope is making some interesting moves. I like where they are going. They are not competing well against Facebook Live.

The interesting part I found this week was Pharah being able to fly throughout the match. They are testing it out on the PTR. That could impact the game in good and bad ways. Luckily, there are other heroes that could handle this. I’m fine with Blizzard testing things out on the PTR. Lastly, that Red Alert 2 VR game looks awesome!

Yes, I finally played enough of Battlefield 1. In this episode, I give my Battlefield 1 review. If you want a first-person shooter that is not set in the modern or future setting this could be a game for you. Yes, I’m still playing this and Titanfall 2 and Civilization 6. I will have those reviews later. Also, BlizzCon has begun. Yes, this year we have a new character for Overwatch. This could be a great addition or break the game. I know Blizzard does a pretty good job of balance, but, I know infiltrator classes can break games. I’ve seen it happen. We will see if this is a good addition or a game breaking addiction. Either way, it’s going to be interesting.
Plus, Polygon is crap. I really want to put that on. Scroll down to find out why!

Adobe announced the new update for their Creative Cloud. Some of it was cool, but the best updates, Project Felix. This new program will help us 2D/3D pictures to create something photo realistic. This is great news for graphic designers. Yes, fewer hours of making it perfect. Three more updates that I discuss in the episode. Microsoft is taking on Slack. Their new program Microsoft Teams are all about teams. Everyone in the business world does have to work for a team(s). Unless, you host your own podcast. Microsoft saw Slack taking people away from Skype. It was the go-to business communication tool. It’s great that there is more competition.
I do not see people using this unless they are team Microsoft. If you are not using Office, it is not the program for you. If this is a great product, Microsoft will have people not hating them too much. Let's be honest, they deserved most of the ire.

Social media plans are important for any business, brand, or personality. It's good to have a goal or plan for your business. Social media companies are fickle and they change all the time. It's a good strategy to be on more than one social network. However, not being on every social network. The biggest reason for this is any of these sites can shut down. They can pivot and do something different. There is no guarantee that the platform will not change or be there for a long time. It is unknowable. However, the site you can control is your own website. This is your best asset and something you need. Your website is the place you call home. Treat your home well.

The numbers for Titanfall 2 appear to not be good. The analysts are saying that it will not sell well. Titanfall 2 will sell. They are not denying that they are concerned about why they released so close to Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty. This could impact the next game. I mean, there might not be one. AAA games need to sell a certain amount of copies sold to make it worth for another game. However, Battlefield 1 sold more than projected. Everyone is enjoying a WW1 game. Who knew we wanted to play a game about WW1. Even though there is a funny glitch, people seem to enjoy the game.

The DDoS attack is a wake-up call. This happens quite a bit in the gaming industry. DDoS seems to happen monthly. However, seeing this happen on a bigger scale is scary. The other problem is a terrible security for wearable technology. These companies are sacrificing security for speed and ease. People want things to be fast. However, speed sometimes is not the best outcome. We need a better option. I do think that AI could help with that. I know this is a touchy subject. Movies have shown the darker side of AI. However, I think it could help with the problem. The problem is the sophistication of the DDoS. It’s going to get worse, but, I believe we can find a better way.

RockStar finally announced Red Dead Redemption 2. The first game was a great ride. It was one of the best western games out there. However, they need to bring this game to the PC. The first one never made it to the PC. It was a sad and a missed opportunity. I'm hoping they will bring this game to the PC at a later date. If they do not, then, that's just a dumb strategy. Plus, BF1 and Civ 6 are out now.

Oh, politics. You rear your ugly head. The tech industry and the tech media have been terrible about being balanced. They always go to the extreme left. I do not condone only subscribing to one side. However, California is blue. Yes, we are depressed, but democrat/progressive/regressive. That means talking about race, gender, sexual orientation. It’s an odd obsession. I want a balance. I did not start this because of that. I started to share my knowledge. However, I cannot sit by and watch a giant group-think happened. I want a balance, but, San Francisco is not. Anyways, I talk about a new stat about clown porn. Ladies, I’m concerned.

In marketing, content matters. It's important. It matters how you treat potential candidates. In the long run, they could be your future customers. That's if you treat them well. If you don't, they will never and tell their friends not to go there. It's important that your content is consistent with your words. HR people please stop writing words without looking at what you are saying. However, Google is updating their platforms. They are making sure every program/platform is material design. This is not a bad policy. It's going to make it look better and make analytics better to read.

Spectacles, that was not that big of a shock. It was an interesting move for Snapchat. This could help them boost their user base or turn into another Google Glass. There will be an issue with privacy and people not knowing if you are recording. I do not like the design of the glasses and think that might turn off some people. There is some innovation here and that should be noted. However, this is still an unknown. It should be interesting to see!

Ads, they are a valuable tool This is what will drive sales for businesses. Social networks have their ad programs. They are mostly good if you have a great marketer doing some great ads. We are at an interesting time. The better campaign you have, the more likes, the revenue you could get. The problem is the blockers people are using. Each year people install these programs. Marketers and advertisers are not doing their jobs. We can do better. However, Google launched Allo. This messaging app is interesting. The question is, will it capture a chunk of the market?
Next, I look at the tools that support Twitter “longer tweets.” This has finally been released. Many people are happy. Learn more below!

Today's Episode
Twitter has finally issued its “longer tweets.” That’s right, the media in your tweets will not account against your character count. It's been a long time coming. They should have done this years ago. Still, at least we get it now. It's better late than never. In that respect are some rules to it, but, for the most part, the media do not count against it. I am baffled at how long it took them to figure this out. Everyone that uses Twitter always hated that feature. It makes Twitter a little more utilitarian. No longer the anger fist of losing some characters to the media. Let’s rejoice and tweet just about more!

Gamers are an interesting breed. We crave excitement and a challenge, but, not all the time. It gets worse as time goes on. The older we get, the more we do not want to compete. Games are fun and sometimes you just want to have fun. Not compete, not have to deal with people. That's why single player is still a viable avenue for developers to do. It's a big surprise that the older you get, the less you want to compete. People change, you have more responsibilities and competing is not fun. It's great that single player games are still around. There will always be a market for it.

Data is air for marketers. It is what we need to run a business. Without knowing what is going on, we are lost. Guessing cannot be a major part of marketing. Even the smartest people can be wrong. Data and analytics are the tools every marketing department needs. However, some marketers do not use it correctly. They see what is doing ok and keep doing the same thing. That's now what is going to make a company successful. A friendly reminder! Always use data to your best advantage!

Battlefield is back, or, in beta form. It's great to see this series go back in history. World War 1 is rarely talked about. Most people do not even know who was involved and why the world was at war. There's only one other game that has touched this era and that was Verdun. It is a great game. Unfortunately, Battlefield will overshadow it. It some ways, that's sad. The great news, is we get to experience in some ways how the battle was fought. It's not going to be realistic, but, giving people a chance to understand a piece of history is a good thing.

Brand Voice, it's an important aspect of marketing any business. However, many companies do not seem to have it. The problem can be many things. The marketing person does not know about it.

The iPhone 7 will be announced next week. That's great news for a lot of Apple lovers. There are a lot of you too. However, Apple is in hot water over the “touch disease.” It is a nasty glitch for the iPhone. It basically makes the touch interface difficult to use or non-functioning. For a smartphone, that makes it useless. Some people are not happy about this. They have decided to bring a class-action lawsuit. They claim that Apple knew about this and has done nothing to help the situation. This is a sad turn of events for Apple. Apple has been on a slow decline for the past few years. It should be interesting to see how Apple handles this.

Two of the most anticipated games came out this month. Deus Ex and No Man's Sky. They were talked about with enthusiasm. However, reality has set in and people are not happy about them. People had high expectations for No Man's Sky and it did not deliver. I disagreed with those assessments, but, people have opinions. Deus Ex is another story. They changed their pre-order items.

This latest news just proves how awful you are. I do hope the FCC and FTC investigate your sleazy practices. I'm pro business, but you guys are on another level of awful.

The latest blunder in a long line of blunders in the gaming industry is Metal Gear. What the heck? I do not understand why they made it a co-op zombie game. This just sounds slapped on.

It's tough to be secure in the tech world. We hear about big companies being the target of another hack. Even the government cannot stop people from hacking their servers. It's tough for people to know who to trust. However, there are many great options out there, too! I hope that you backup those important files. They can be locked away by an attacker and then used against you. If you backup your files daily, you'll have nothing to worry about. It's the people that do not which is the issue. You may think you'll never be hacked, but that is a mistake. I hope you take you cyber security seriously.

Ad blockers, the necessary evil of online browsing. Most people use it to do anything on the web. Ads have become a problem. They are disruptive to the flow of posts. There are full-page ads that disconnect the consumer from the content. Publishers and marketers created this mess. This is a big problem. My professional pushed people to use ad blockers. Now, Facebook has to do something drastic. They need to make sure people are seeing ads. This is where the majority of their revenue comes from. More ad blockers used, then no money generated. I may not like Facebook, but, I understand why they are doing it. I also talk about the state of social media marketing. It's similar to tech. There's a lot of new tech being used and video is the dominant medium for this space. The future is interesting.
Anyways, listen from more of my insight.

Tech, it's an interesting topic to discuss. There's always something great and terrible happening. It's in a constant state of change. It is the best analogy of life. We are all in a constant state change. Life demands us to change or die. Tech is at a major crossroad for change. If you know anything about it, this does not happen that often. We've seen some great innovations and some small ones. We have VR and AR coming of age. We have cars that will drive themselves. AI development is leading to some interesting experiments. I will predict that AI will be deployed to be our cyber security. They will be way more efficient than how we do it today.
Now, businesses are going to need to care about security. We've seen too many examples of hacks that lead to lawsuits. There have to be better protocols for stopping most of these hacks. This should not be happening once a month. This needs to stop. Companies need to find a better way. Please, back up your data.
Anyways, enjoy this episode!

Today’s Episode
There’s been an explosion of news coming from QuakeCon. Today, they revealed Prey and Quake Champions gameplay trailers. They got me excited for these games. Quake is bringing back the old school shooter vibe. This is lacking in many first-person shooter games. The reason, Call of Duty influence. This game has enhanced or infected first-person shooter games for years. Many developers tried to replicate their success. This usually led to clones that were not good. It’s great to see these old games coming back. It reminds all the old gamers about the heyday. It also makes you aware how old you are. It’s a great time to be a gamer!

I've said it before, marketers and advertisers do not make great ads. They are usually ok, but, mostly bad. The new reports show that publishers and marketers care about the impressions than trust. If we do not find a way to make them better, there go the profits. However, Facebook is doing well in that aspect. They also love to stuff anything with ads. They are ad happy. That's a problem. It's why people use ad-blockers. The problem is, it's only going to get worse. We need to find a better way. I hope we can strike a balance between revenue and trust. Trust is hard to get back.
Marketers know that trust is everything. Let's continue to build that trust between our company and customers. Anyways, on with the show!

Gather around techies! Let me tell you a story about Instagram. They made a Snapchat clone. The very least copied a feature. It's called Instagram Stories. Yes, now Instagram has a 24-hour destructible picture. This story does not end. Not to be outdone, Snapchat released geostitchers. The battle is heating up! LinkedIn finally added a video feature. This is not big news because every other social network had a feature. It's great to see LinkedIn finally jumping into it. I feel like LinkedIn is behind with lots of features. The website is a mess and needs a refresh. They have a piecemeal website. Some of the pages are modern and others are not.

Valve is in a terrible situation. CS:GO is a great game and has made Valve lots of money. However, this betting scandal is not good. It has hurt Valve's reputation and gained them a lawsuit. The problem is Youtuber's. The fact that they gamed the system and conned people out of their money is terrible. I do hope some legal action gets taken against them. However, No Man's Sky is in the news. This time, it's bad. Sean Murray took a patent and used it in the game. I'm glad the company does not want to halt the release of the game. The problem is, patents are so hard to track, you may never know you are infringing on one.

Pokemon Go, who would have thought it would be such a huge hit. It's so big, that hackers want to take it down. Now brace yourself, you will not have it for one day. I know, there's some tissues in the bathroom. This is a credible threat. Hackers love to do Dedicated Denial of Service attacks. It's the most common one used. Now, some hackers get more sophisticated in how they do it, but, they still do the same thing.
Great news for people on Twitter! You can now ask to be a verified account. Now, this might now happen to everyone, but, at least the process is easier. This might make more people verified.

He was easy to kill and this will help make him effective. D. VA is getting a buff too. This should help make her more of a tank. Before, it was easy to deal with her.

Once, again I am talking about Pokemon Go. Marketers are wanting in on the action. They see a goldmine in the popular game. Even though I am skeptical about how popular it will remain, there's big business in it. This idea is not new. Ingress was the predecessor of Pokemon Go. Pokemon is actually an updated version of Ingress. The reason marketers want in is the amount of people playing it right now. There are millions of people playing. It's more popular than Tinder, Twitter, and has better engagement than Facebook. That's huge!
However, I do caution that early result can wane. We've seen it before. Vine is struggling with that right now. Even though it is an interesting platform. There is not a lot of interest in it anymore. I hope Vine can right the ship, but, I think it may fold into Twitter.

Who knew people wanted to catch virtual pets? Well, Pokemon Go is a hit and people want to it, more than go on dates. So Tinder, you have met your match, and it has swiped left. There were some privacy concerns with Pokemon. The biggest concern was the Google Accounts vulnerability that is patched. However, a senator wants to look at what data is being collected with this game. A game about finding virtual pets in the real world. I get a feeling they need lots of data to know where you are and to show you where to find the next Pokemon. Just be sure to never share your password. Yes, that is now a federal crime. Password sharing is a big no-no to the government!

Social media these days, its always seems like we are being duped as businesses. Even the future of social media can be murky at times. Facebook is the worst offender. Facebook was great for businesses in the beginning, but, since they are so big do not care. Make no mistake, they are there to make money. The best way is to limit the exposure of a business, then implement an advertising scheme. Facebook has once again proved that every business needs to diversify. Never put all your resources into these companies because their strategy and business plan will change.

Again, the government fails. It has made Android weak and compromised the encryption all for law enforcement. It's just another example of the government failing to recognize its shortcomings. We also have a potential president not being prosecuted for carelessness. I do not care how high up you are, if you mess with national security, then you should be fined. Instead, she is just told how careless she was. We all knew that. We want justice. I, like many others, have lost all faith in the government. I do not think they know how to govern. Maybe we should give them a dummies guide to governing. At least the FTC is doing something useful. They are investigating Ashley Madison. I do think that site should be investigated. Not for what they do, but, for the practice. Pretending to have women on that site is deceptive.

Overwatch is a huge success for Blizzard. It beat out League of Legends. Blizzard announced its competitive mode. Most gamers were waiting for this since launch. It's a competitive game, so it is a perfect match. It will be interesting to see if the community likes this version of the mode. I suspect Overwatch will be popular for years if Blizzard maintains this game. That means, new maps, characters and modes. If they can keep that up, this game will be played for years. Blizzard did a great job, now they have to keep tweaking to make it even better.

It's happened again. Another company hacked. A hack or hacking is a factor in business. No business is immune to it. However, Acer was the worst. A tech company not aware their system was compromised is pretty bad. A whole year! The hackers also got a lot of data too. Businesses have a duty to protect customer data. If they want to be in business. Businesses need to take these acts seriously and beef up their security. Another shameful act is from the government. They always want to spy on us more. They claim its for our safety, but, they have never made us safe. In fact, they were powerless to stop someone from killing 49 Americans. The government is never going to stop either. They know little about technology and still do. It's time they cared about the 4th amendment. It's time they start acting like they care about too.

E3 is always a hype train running on extreme hype. E3 2016 is no exception. There were many memorable moments, as well as, forgettable ones. Publishers and developers spend countless hours creating the best demos and trailers for gamers to consume. Some are great, others, need some work. Publishers spend large sums of money to make their shows extravagant, or overdone is a better word. The shows become their own concerts and, at times, lose their focus. When E3 should be about the games, Publishers find new gimmicks to throw at gamers. The good things are, even with all the bright lights and marketing speak, some gems stand out above the crowd. It's still a great time to be gaming. This is shaping up to be the best year in gaming. We are seeing more diversity in the genres, especially first person shooters. New techniques and new technology coming out.

Do you ever feel like marketing is becoming a daily event of catching up with new features, rules or programs coming out? I know I sometimes feel like that. The good news is, there are places like this to help. I also found businesses like Buffer and Hootsuite to be great resources too! It's great to see Youtube creating apps for small businesses. This allows them to create their own videos or ask for help. Sometimes, SMBs do not have the time or energy to put in videos. Even though it is the most popular media consumed on the internet, it does take a lot of time. However, businesses should be figuring out how to do it well. There are so many apps out, you have options.
Anyways, let's get the show start!
Marketing News Analyzed:
Snapchat is upping its game on ads and analytics
Twitter is letting brands target ads based on emojis
Youtube reveals Youtube Director. A way for small businesses to make video ads
A new social intelligence tool that lets brands search organic and paid posts
Facebook released new tools for location advertising and analytics

Tech buyouts, they happen. Tech companies see they cannot compete with the big guys, or are offered a great package. Either way, the user is forced to with find another app. LinkedIn was acquired yesterday, and it seems like a good/puzzling move. LinkedIn is a social network refusing to die and Microsoft is taking advantage. This is a great acquisition for Microsoft. It will push them into the business sector even more. I do hope they help LinkedIn's website. That site needs some love. It looks like, but, there are some things that need a change. Twitter has an odd update. They are letting users retweet themselves. I have never been of fan of this. Facebook has allowed users to do this for a while. It's a terrible idea. Twitter, do use all a favor and stop. the. madness!
In other news, the FCC won their court case! This is great news for net neutrality. The FCC can regulate internet service providers and hopefully, make them upgrade their network. I will not hold my breath on that. However, the lawsuits are not done yet. The internet companies will file an appeal, so, I'll let you know of any more updates. Anyways, on with the show.

E3 is right around the corner and that means games are going to announce for the first time to the public. This is usually the preemptive strike for holiday games. We all know that Call of Duty is going to be released in November, that is always a given. However, there are plenty of games we do not know about yet. This is an exciting E3 because Bethesda is doing another show. They did say last year that it would be on a year-to-year basis, but they seem to have enough games to make another show. I'm interested in seeing what they are cooking up. They usually make great games. The next thing I want to see is what Ubisoft is going to do with The Division, Ghost Recon, Watch_Dogs and Rainbow Six. Some were better received than others and I would like to The Division be a better game. I'm hoping CD Projekt has some announcements for everyone too. Other than that, August cannot come soon enough! Now the show begins!

Social media designs are always changing. Pinterest, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook all go through it; some are better received than others. However, it is a fact of technology. Another fact is how much traffic each site brings. Some are better than others and some drive awareness better than others. Ads are another industry that is going to change. Many people do not like ads. Digital ads have been terrible for years and now companies are starting to take notice. Ad blockers and some browsers are going after these bad practices and it's going to hurt companies. The problem is, it's our fault. We let this happen and now we pay the price for it. People can only take some much before they start taking action. It's always better to make great ads and take your time with them. Throwing ads out there is not going to cut it anymore. We have to make the best ads possible if we want people to buy our products. Final thought, there are many tools out there pick the right tool that you are comfortable with. Tools are meant to be used.
Marketing News Analyzed:

New things are coming. In the age of technology we all want shiny new things. Twitter redesigned its Android app and it is great. Twitter finally realized it was better to use the strengths of Android. I do like the new design. Switching accounts is a lot easier. It's better in general. Even though Twitter is not as popular as it once was, it is still a better platform. The problem is, it still has not reached it's full potential. Snapchat came out with a new Discovery Tab and it looks interesting. It gives more information on what people may be clicking on. It also allows users to follow the publishers. Them there's Swarm. Swarm is interesting. It was once Foursquare, but Foursquare didn't want Swarm, so, they split it up. That didn't go over well and we have slowly seen Swarm become the old Foursquare again. I'm not sure if the strategy to split up Foursquare was a good one. It's proving to be a mistake. Anyways, on with the show!

History is not our strong suit. That seems to be the reason why Battlefield 1 was considered to be risky. EA thought that younger people did not know we even had a World War 1. Yes, the reason for the war is complex and many complicated reasons for why this war happened. I am glad that DICE convinced EA to make this game. It looks great and may be one of the best games of 2016. I don't know for sure, but, it could be. Another weird announcement was for Sims 4. Maxis released a statement talking about inclusiveness and all the SJW rhetoric. They did not need to do a full-on media blitz for this, but, the news reported it anyways. That does include me. This may not be a popular opinion, but, if you hate there are only two sexes, then blame nature. This whole, you can be anything you want has gotten out of control and transgender is not a gender. I'm sorry, but, that is completely made up.

Today's Instagram is finally getting their business together… er releasing business pages for its platform. Instagram business was unveiled yesterday and most brands are going to love it. It's a long time coming and should help brands understand how their content is doing. The only problem is this signals the end of organic reach for Instagram. We are going to see a shift to Facebook telling you what you want to see. This is mostly because they want businesses to pay. It has worked very well for Facebook, so why not do the same to Instagram. The problem they could run into is the community. Most people went to Instagram because what Facebook was doing. Now, they will have to deal with it, or move on. We are also in an interesting time for businesses doing business on the internet. Facebook wants websites to be dead. They want everything to be through Facebook. The problem is businesses have no say on the changes to Facebook. They have to deal with it. Business websites are going nowhere and Facebook needs to get that.

Instagram launches their new business pages and analytics
Why I don't think press release should be blog posts

Social media companies have a problem. They were once the champion of free speech and no they only give it lip service. I am fine if they do not adhere to the strict code of free speech, but, claiming you are for it and then not backing it up is wrong. The problem with social media is that no one forgets what you said. Even the companies that run it are tied to this. These tech companies need to stop saying they are for free speech and then police it somewhere else. The bad side of free speech is people are allowed to say things others do not like. The alternative is to police what we say, but, that will not make the unsavory nature of human nature go away. People will be less aware of it, until, something bad happens. This is, for the most part, how ISIS got started. Another odd thing in tech is Atari getting into the Internet of Things industry. It's an odd move for them, but, they are not the once renowned game developer anymore. They have been looking for a way to stay relevant. This may be their way in, but, it's still an odd move. Scroll down to hear my show.

The month of May has seen a few games released. We had Doom, Battleborn, Overwatch, Total War, and Homefront. Then announced this month we had the new Witcher DLC and Hitman episode 3. That's six high-profile games released this month. It almost feels like November, but it's not! I played a lot of Overwatch this week and it's a great game. It's very surprising because Blizzard is not known for making fps games. Yet, it seems they can make any type of game and make it work. The sad news here is No Man's Sky may be delayed. This is an interesting game. The game is all about exploration and has little to no story. I hope it's not, but, it could be. There is no official statement from the publisher or developer yet. Listen below for more gaming news.

These days games seem to be getting more expensive. Not only do gamers need to by the base game, but there are season passes. The problem is developers and publishers seem to make less content for the game released and wait for the DLC to “add value” to the game. That's not how this is suppose to work. Developers should be making their base game as feature rich as possible. Then, add more content in the future. However, that's not how this is working. They seem to withhold content for the sake of more money. If gamers want the complete experience, they have to buy two games. That sounds absurd, but, its our fault. If the consumer did not rush to buy all those COD DLCs when it began, we would not have this problem. This is our fault in a way, but, some developers get it. Unfortunately, not many do. Next time, maybe we should not buy DLC. There's still more to see below here!

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine has a new trailer!

Google io is here! The best part of it was the announcement of Firebase 2.0. It is shaping up to be a great tool. There are a few great tidbits. One, there is an analytics tool optimized for mobile. Two, it can be used for iOS and Android and it's free! The demo's today show how powerful it can be. Dynamic links will help developers get people to download their apps with fewer clicks. They can also track who's clicking on them too. Messaging users are simple as well. Firebase allows developers to target their customers and hopefully convert mover with some timely messages. Firebase should help developers and marketers find better ways of getting those eyeballs. Let's see if Android developers respond. On another note, I do like the change Pinterest has made to measuring the reach of pins. Instead of only counting what has been liked, repinned or saved from the source. It also counts other's that have done the same through other accounts. Things are looking interesting in 2016. Now, on with the show!

Open source, it is what drives tech. However, some companies would rather say they “champion,” open source only with their words. Oracle is one of those companies. I have never been fond of them, but, their litigation-happy company needs to readdress what it means to be a champion. Their fight with Google is purely for financial gain. I'm all for projecting your properties, but, when you buy a company that made a program/language open to all you're fighting the wrong battle. Oracle knew how valuable Java is to the tech industries and is trying to capitalize on it. Android is one of the most popular mobile OS out there. If Oracle can get a fraction of the money they think they are owed, they will. This is not to save a company, this is them thinking they are owed something. This not the first time Oracle has done something like this, and it will not be the last. However, I hope they lose. Now onto the rest of the show!

The march to E3 continues! We are less than a month away from E3 2016. However, many game developers have decided to announce their games prior to the big event. Civilization 6 was announced this week and it looks to be another great game. The way they are tackling cities and AI leaders should make the game better than the last one. Western Digital is going to buy SanDisk. That should make SSD's cheaper and, hopefully, better. Doom is coming out tomorrow and I am reviewing it. Let's see if it can capture the best parts of the old game. There is a lot riding on this game. One reason is the old id team is long gone. This is a new id software. Let's see if this new team can continue leaving a legacy that the old id team has left. There's more witty banter and raging going on in this podcast. Listen below!

Chatbots, they are going to take over social media. They are the new customer service automation. Instead of calling a machine, the customer, is going to chat with a machine. It's the natural evolution of automation. Where be canned response should be organic language. They are not yet, but, they will get there eventually. Businesses are scrambling to make the next great hit on social media. Customers and users should except to see more of these. Some will be great, others, not so much. Facebook and Instagram now hearts ads. They have announced plans to use more retargeting ads. This may seem like a win for marketers, but, more people are turning towards adblockers. It is no surprise people are doing this either. We are bombarded by ads. It gets to be too much and people are turning to programs to turn them off. Most ads are not good. Most are annoying and most people would rather skip them. However, this is how a business survives. The problem is, advertising has not changed very much. As technology has advanced, the way we advertise has remained the same. Snapchat is the only social network I know of that is doing something different. Now it's to see what other topics I will discuss today.

Periscope new updates and why you should be on it

There always seems to be a lot going on in tech these days. Microsoft is going to stop bugging you to update to Windows 10. The biggest drama is Facebook silencing conservative views. Facebook has denied these charges, but, I would not be surprised if it was doing that. Tech companies are at an impasse right now. They all seem poised to be more liberal. For better or worse, this can become a headache. The government is looking into why it takes so long to get updates for phones. This is a big problem for consumers since there are some vulnerabilities that can cripple phones. Rendering them useless and a security threat. This is interesting for one reason, the government has said it wants weak encryption, which means weak security. I feel like the government does not know what it wants and keeps changing it's mind just because. However, it's good that the FCC and FTC are looking into this. This is a long show, so enjoy an hours worth of funny lines and rants. Enjoy!

We are in the month of May. That means several high profile games are coming out. It also is the month of big reveals. Activision has released a trailer for the next Call of Duty and Sega has released a trailer for Dawn of War 3. Tomorrow we will see what Battlefield 5 is all about. This is shaping up to be an interesting year for gaming. First off, there are going to be more Star Wars games; let's hope it is better than Battlefront. The Division is finally going to give better drops, that has been a problem. I am interested to see how Doom is going to be. Luckily for you, I am reviewing it once it comes out. It is interesting to see if the free-to-play model will be around. There have been some games ditching that model for the standard one. Now if only we could get rid of Call of Duty for a year, that would be an even better year! Read further and listen to the full episode below.

Creating content can be tough. It is, to me, like chasing the sun. We are always trying to find/create the best content to get noticed. However, everyone is doing that. That is tons of competition and how does a small business do it well? I think it all starts with knowing your brand. This is cliche, but important. You, the owner, are the expert on the brand. You know it like no one else. Now, how can you convey that to your audience or future customers? This strategy comes in handy. I would sit down and write three characteristics of your brand. This is the best way to figure out your brand. Then, craft your personality based on that. After all, that is done, create a few samples to show to people. Find out which one best hits your audience. Create about three templates. Once you have a feel for it, figure out your hashtag. Be sure no one is using it. Then create a social media calendar. Then, test and keep on testing.

Today's Episode
I learned a valuable lesson this weekend, that is if you want to update your BIOS in your computer, flash it. This weekend I wanted to install a new graphics card; the problem was, the motherboard did not like it. I was not booting to Windows and there was a problem with the motherboard. I searched the web trying to find a fix and found one. I had to update the BIOS. I found the manufacturers new program and it gave me an update. I decided to update the BIOS that way. Well, that was a big mistake. Windows crashed, there was no way to repair it. I had to buy a new SSD and install Windows fresh, which that lead to more problems. There is a happy ending, I did get my new graphics card installed and everything is working fine, but, I lost all my old files. The lesson here, always flash your BIOS. Never, I mean, never do it through a program on Windows. Let's get on with the show!

DISH will repair your iPhone at your house

Today's Episode
No Man's Sky looks poised to become an incredible game. The tech behind it is worth a playthrough. It is interesting that they went with no story in the game. I agree with their decision to not add a story. The whole point of No Man's Sky is to explore the universe. A story, no matter how good it would be, is going to get in the way. We will find out if having no story was a wise choice. Doom is coming out soon and adding a permadeath to the hardest level should make it brutal. The game does go back to its roots. They have eliminated regenerating health and brought back the twitch shooting. I am intrigued if this game plays well and is fun. The new episode of Hitman came out recently and it shows how great the franchise can be. This is the best I've seen of Hitman in a while. Hitman fans should be delighted. There's more I talk about in the podcast. Check it out!
Gaming Topics I Discuss:
Doom is so hard the developer has not beaten the hardest difficulty
The Division needs a network rewrite says one professional
It looks like Steam sales are down from last year, but more games are coming out
No Man's Sky does not have a story, but lore
Call of Duty is going to remaster COD 4
Deus Ex is getting new and better augs
Games you should get

Today's Episode
There's a new trend going on in tech. It has only recently started in the last 2 years. The need to police speech. Social Autopsy is one of those bad platforms. They claim it's to keep people “safe,” and making sure people are held accountable for their actions. Except, you can report people anonymously… For business, having your employees on this can be bad. It can hurt your business and maybe keep some bad press. The only solution is to encourage people to have dummy accounts to share their real thoughts without a threat of losing their jobs. In America, we have the first amendment, but we also have people wanting to curb speech. Anything that can be deemed, “hateful,” is silenced. The problem is modern society is so thinned skin. We crave controversy too. It speaks to our lives. We are bored, we hate our lives and try to fill it with the next “outrage.” Unfortunately, businesses can be caught in the middle. Advertising for a popular show that an actor or reality star says something unpopular. Your business could get the public's ire. On the bright side, there's more Marketing Blend. Find out more below!

Today's Episode
Cheating, exploits, hacking, they're all a part of gaming. The Division has been in the news lately about different exploits. You can do a quick Google search of any game and find companies offering cheats. It's fine if it's a single player game, but a multiplayer game can be frustrating. Playing someone that can see through walls or do headshots all the time makes any gamer rage. The problem can be a bad anti-cheating system or a lack of admins. I have never been a fan of anti-cheating programs because they do not work. Using admins can be the best way of combating cheating and they can abuse their power too. The other problem is the gaming industry is doing a bad job of limiting exploits. Every new patch comes with a few more exploits. The cycle never ends and I feel most developers are rushing to get patches out. Maybe they do their best to have quality control. It does seem to be getting worse too. I don't know if there is an easy answer, but there needs to be better quality control. Find out more about this discussion below.

Mirror's Edge is delayed

Doing business today can be a complicated mess. That's not to say it has never been complicated. However, businesses have to be careful about what they say, do, think, feel and place. Even employees have to watch everything they do. Snapchat came under fire today for their “blackface.” Now maybe, it was not the best idea, but if it was in partnership with the Bob Marley Estate, then, who is to blame? This is the problem businesses face. As a marketing professional ideas are going to have to be thought about. You are going to have to tear them apart and reassemble them. Find out if there is an “outrage” in your idea. I will say, that you cannot make everyone happy. That does not mean you should not just throw up your hands and do whatever ideas comes from your head. However, businesses should take risks, but, they should be calculated. Be sure you are equipped to handle the outrage. If you need to, update your crisis communication plan. As the boy scouts always say, “be prepared.” Now, onto the show!
Marketing News Discussed:
Storyful crowdsource video for journalist
Facebook is looking to get you paid in your posts

It's already been an interesting week in tech. We have LinkedIn's new app, EFF going after the government, EU fighting with Google and its only Tuesday! I think it's great to see LinkedIn courting young adults. They really need to figure out a way to convert them over. I know when I was in college, LinkedIn was not a priority. Facebook (because it was still cool) was the priority. Evert college student was on it. Today there are even more choices than I had. I do think LinkedIn can find other ways of courting the younger generation, but this is a good first step. I really hope they push into video and live streaming. I believe they need to find a way to do this if they still want to be relevant. I have said it before, buying Blab is not a bad route to take. Blab has a nice community and it's geared towards being more professional than the rest. Find out what other tech news I talk about below!

Today's Episode
Games and gender, it's a tricky subject. Everyone wants to feel like their character is an extension of themselves, but, that means developers have to spend time and resources to make that happen. For big developers, that's not a problem. For indie developers, that's time and money being used that could be used for other things. The simple answer is, you are not going to make everyone happy. Rust came under fire for deciding your gender for you. This is an interesting move. I would not have expected a developer to do this. It's bold, against the norm and people hate it. It's 2016 people! We hate everything. We get offended about the smallest offenses. It will be interesting to see what happens and if other developers will try this. I was a little upset, then, thought about it, and do not care.
There's that issue and then there's BattleBorn. It's a great game. I am enjoying it. The gameplay is fast, and for the most part, balanced. Listen to my podcast to hear more about BattleBorn.
Gaming News I Discuss:
Witcher 3 gets a new picture for their final DLC

Welcome to another change is social media. Yes, live streaming is going to be the new “darling” of social media. 2016 is the year that we see brands divert more resources into live streaming. This means most brands cannot sit on the sidelines and watch anymore. You are going to have to choose the platform. There are a select few out there. The live streaming platforms are Periscope, Facebook live, Blab, and Google Hangouts on Air. They are mostly different from each other. Facebook is trying to own everything on the web and they are dong a good job of showing why. Facebook's dominance will be around for years. 2016 is shaping up to be an interesting year for marketing and social media.

Today's Episode
Today we get to hear all about how Facebook is going to take over the world! Or, the internet is probably where this is going. Facebook's Conference or the F8 conference is back, and it has nothing to do with Facebook. What? Yes, Facebook talked about VR/AR, Messenger, photo tools, a “save” button, but, there was not mention of cool features for Facebook. Facebook has slightly abandoned its first love… being a place for friends. Messenger is now the Facebook of 2004. It's the cool thing to do. Oh, we all get bots. Yes, bots are the new thing in social media. Instead of talking to a real person, we will enjoy talking to a robot. There's a bright future in anti-social, social media. Facebook, you were once a great social network, now, I think you're just a digital wasteland or a hub. Time will only tell which one is true.
Facebook's Confere and other topics I talk about:
Facebook has a 360 camera if you 30k
Facebook adds a “save” button to the web
Facebook has a live hub, but normal people cannot go live
Facebook adds bots to it's Messenger
Facebook will add sponsored messages to Messenger
Facebook wants you to upgrade your profile pic with their apps
Instant Articles is open to all publishers
Google ramps up security for those “social engineering” websites
Twitter adds playlist to moments
Smart homes have terrible security
and more!
Apps to try:
Restokitch
Messenger Platform (beta)
Bot hunter bot
Journie

Question:
Is there any way Facebook could be saved? Should it be?

Today's Episode
Gaming news aside, the Doom closed beta was last weekend and I had fun trying it out. It was great to get back to the old arena shooter feeling. It has been sorely missed. There is some aspect of the game id needs to fix, but I do not think it is game breaking. The Division is another story. The developers need a better fix for the game than what they have been purposing. The main problem is the fact that they keep calling it an RPG. It has some RPG elements, but there's really only one stat that really matters, DPS. Roles do not matter in The Division. It is wasted potential. The Division is running into the same problems Destiny has faced. I do not think they will dig themselves out of it either. The PC community is harsh on boring, bland games. Battlefront is learning from this and, I think, The Division will too.
Gaming news debated:
Fallout 4 wins best game at BAFTA
Beamdog backtracks on some politically charged dialogue
Doom open beta lands on April 15th
Battleborn open beta pre-loading begins
Fallout 4 updates survivor mode

It's time to talk about your e-newsletter. Yes, I know, you've got it under control. The thing is, you may not. I talk about what it takes to start one and maintain it. There are few key points to doing an e-newsletter. I would start with a great name. The most important part of this process is if it fits with your brand. My e-newsletter, Digital Brewer, fits well within my brand. It combines tech and coffee. It is the perfect fit. Plus, I can call all my subscribers digital brewers. I do believe starting with a great name is the best step forward. This will help create or maintain that brand personality and build a community around it. Want to know more? Listen to this episode.

It seems like every day, we get more and more bots. Slack was one of the companies that made them popular. Now, other companies are implementing bots. Skype is doing it, and now, Kik. I think we are beginning to see the consumer side of AI take hold. I know, we have had Siri for a while, but this is a much bigger step. Siri was only on one platform. Bots are being implemented on multiple platforms. They are becoming the next “apps.” Soon we will say, “there's a bot for that.” It will be interesting to see what evolution comes about from these bots. I am excited to see that. I may be the only person to say that, but, it's true. Now, time for the curious case of tech news!
Discussing the curious case of tech.. or the stories I'm talking about:
Kik now has bots and it's serious
Microsoft is testing out a premium Outlook
Etsy launches patterns.
Twiter scores a big deal with the NFL
Twitter adds a DM button on tweets
Microsoft may launch surface phones in 2017
Facebook has a new AI to describe pictures to blind people
Sawyer wants you to schedule classes for your kids

Today's Episode:
Diversity. It's all the talk in every group in America. The conversation is usually about the lack of it. Gaming is not impervious to these one-sided arguments. Rarely researched, people throw out diversity for the sake of news. The way most people talk about it is, on a superficial level. There's a mental checklist of what diversity should include. The main points are race, sex, and sexual orientation. A diversity of thought is always left out. We are not concerned with different opinions. Different opinions are bad. Unfortunately, some developers are riding this train too. Talking about a”lack of diversity,” it always revolves around race, sex, and sexual orientation. Writers should be more concerned about the depth of their characters.

Today on Marketing Blend, I talk the social media news that matters. Snapchat's update and the impact it will have on social media as a whole. Snapchat is getting popular with brands. I have seen more and more brands jump into this space. It will be interesting to see the impact it will have on the industry. Marketers will have to figure out a strategy around using the different options Snapchat offers. Snapchat is growing up and the user is going to be as well. Snapchat is growing and Instagram is having trouble. Since their announcement of a feed change, the users have not been happy. Many have turned to doing some strange tactics that may hurt them in the long-run. Only time will tell if what they do will work.
Marketing Topics worth discussing:
Pinterest adds, “How-to” pins
Snapchat goes 2.0 on their chat
Snapchat made QR codes popular again
Google Adwords redesign
Twitter's new picture description
Instagram adds 60-second video
Instagram tries to quell anger over feed change

There's a lot of new updates floating around today. Snapchat has unveiled it's newest version of chat. This makes it easier for people to chat with each other and adds more engagement too. Snapchat is becoming the go-to for many young users and brands. Then there's Instagram; they have their users in an uproar. The announcement of a change in their feed has made many users beg their followers to turn on push notifications. We have to understand that Instagram is a business. They are in it to make money. We may not like the idea of a Facebook newsfeed on Instagram, but, they have to pay the bills. The Facebook model is the most successful, so, that's what they are going to do. Instagram announced a new update to their videos but that still did not quell the anger the users have for the newsfeed. Now users can shoot up to 60 seconds of video. That is quite a jump from 15 seconds. Instagram is trying to jumpstart their videos. They have had little success and photos are the most popular, but they are trying. Anyways, onto the tech news!
Tech News I talk about Today:
SnapChat Chat is now 2.0… meaning better
Why SnapChat bought Bitstrips was because of Chat

Today on Marketing Blend I talk about the algorithmic feeds. Yes, they are taking the social media world by storm. It's as big, loud, thunderous feed, full of things you may “like.” The free gravy organic reach train is coming to an end. Facebook started the trend and now Twitter and Instagram have followed. They claim it's for the user, but, the purpose it for more money from ad revenue. Facebook is profitable because of this tactic and Instagram has followed. It has not gone smoothly, though. There are people unhappy with this move. The great thing about social media was discovery. People went to these sites/apps to find interesting content. Now these companies are taking that away. This is in favor for making more money. This does put pressure on small businesses. These spaces are going towards the big brands that can afford big budgets. This means that small businesses need to be sure they are creating quality content that people want to share. It is also a great way to try some creative/risky strategies. 2016 is turning out to be an interesting year.

Warning: Rant Incoming!
Gamer's Cafe hates bad storytelling and demands better! When making a game, storytelling is important. I feel most games do not try or do not give enough time to develop a great story. Gaming is not the only industry with this problem, movies have a tendency to follow a checklist too. This is good at times, but for truly amazing storytelling, this is not the best way. Checklists can help drive storytelling, but, it lacks that creative element. Game developers should try to find a balance in this process. I'm not saying have no deadlines, but give enough time for developing a story. Stories are great in an abstract form, but sometimes developers lose something in the process. This is of time constraints or budget. I think it's time to look at the story again because your game suffers from terrible a story.
