Game On: Scam Games, Revivals and Convention Heists

NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast

What happens when a classic game like Sony's Wipeout gets a second life, thanks to a passionate programmer, and why do such games continue to resonate with fans even years after their release? That’s one of the intriguing discussions we have in store for you today! Weaving between the worlds of gaming and cyber crime, get ready for an exploration into bulletproof hosting services, which are increasingly playing a significant role in facilitating global cyber crimes.
Switching gears, we put the spotlight on the worrying issue of security at gaming conventions, brought to sharp focus by a recent theft of rare Magic the Gathering cards. Can you imagine the impact such a theft might have on the gaming community? We go beyond the headlines to explore this incident in detail, and also muse over how security measures at these conventions could be fortified to prevent such occurrences in the future. We also share our thoughts on Modern Warfare 3, while drawing comparisons with its predecessor, Modern Warfare 2.
But that's not all! In a market inundated with games, we discuss the challenges posed by scam games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, as we ponder over the repercussions for the gaming community and the responsibility of platforms like Nintendo. And in an unexpected turn, we explore the world of Roblox and the implications of offering jobs to minors within the gaming platform. We also have a lively discussion on the culture of cosplay, before wrapping up with a rousing freestyle from DJ C Money. This episode is a veritable smorgasbord of engaging conversations on gaming, cyber crime, and unique personal stories, and we can't wait for you to join us!
