It’s another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media’s conversational podcast! Chris Ray Gun (tiny big-headed blind freak) is at the helm yet again, joined by MrMattyPlays (todd howard simp), Lord Cognito (xbox shill), and none other than Gene Park (beauty pageant judge)! Matty selfishly regales us with tales of his wedding and true love in front of three painfully single people. Gene swerves the conversation to our history with Ubisoft (stewards of the acclaimed Skull & Bones franchise) and how

It's time for a 'very special' one-on-one episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. It's me, Colin. Joining me today is storied game designer David Jaffe for an intimate (no, not like that) three-ish hour chat about a variety of topics. We dwell a great deal on video games, of course, touching on Steam, Concord, Freedom Wars, Bloodborne, Dragon Age, and much more. We even get into more philosophical ideas like visionary game design, bad opening sequences, and more. As

Welcome to a rare themed episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, I (Colin) welcome Punching Up co-host Micah Moriarty, Summon Sign host Brad Ellis, and LSM producer Ben Smith to the show, and I asked each of them to bring a topic centered around our recent experience at our live show in California. Brad kicks things off with a chat about San Diego itself, the host city of our event, a unique and special locale that has a lot to offer. What do we think of

Welcome to "a very special episode" of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, I (Colin) am joined by a duo of guests as opposed to our traditional trio: Punching Up's Gene Park and storied game designer David Jaffe. In an unusual (though not unprecedented) move, I asked the guys not to come prepared with any topics this week. Instead, I thought we'd just chat about whatever and see where that brought us. Perhaps not surprisingly, a lack of a concrete plan led us into

Uncharted Territory! Chris Ray Gun (Sacred Symbols) hosts this weeks episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. Joined by Micah Moriarty (Punching Up) and Lockmort (a foreigner,) this ever-winding episode gets nutty. Micah forces us to envision our own Freaky Friday scenarios and decide which celebrities and LSM cohosts we'd switch bodies with. Chris sets his sights on animals that the world will be better without. Lockmort asks us about the three dumbest things we've ever

This week, I (Colin) am joined by Punching Up co-host Micah Moriarty, Defining Duke co-host Lord Cognito, and Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun. As usual, topics are varied. Chris kicks things off with an inquiry into exotic animals. No, not cats, dogs, and the like, but far more unordinary fare. Do we want a weird creature companion? Next, Micah explores the wide world of salads. Are we excited

Rick kicks off this time around with a topic about mythological pantheons. From Roman to Greek to Norse and beyond, do we find ourselves particularly interested in or attracted to any of these ancient forms of worship?

We begin with my topic, a heady one no doubt, but a fun one with lots of threads from which to pull. Warner Bros. Discovery -- the owners of HBO, CNN, Cartoon Network, WB Pictures, WB Games, and much more -- is in freefall, with value dropping 70%. How would we save this storied

Matty kicks things off with a soliloquy for Game Informer, the popular gaming publication founded in the early-'90s, and inexplicably shuttered right before we began recording. How do we feel about its closure, and its impact on the industry? Next up is Micah, who inquires as

Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, I (Colin) am joined by Punching Up co-host Gene Park, Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun, and storied game designer David Jaffe. Indeed, this is the same cast that appeared on Episode 78 of our show, and we're back just a month-or-so later by popular demand, with another four hour-long heater.

Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. Today, I (Colin) man the host's chair, and welcome LSM coordinator Micah Moriarty and Virtual Legality's Rick Hoeg to the show for a trifecta of fun inquiries. Micah kicks things off with some "would you rather?" premises that she lifted from a magazine. Don't worry: Nothing perverted! Instead, would we rather see 10 minutes ahead of 150 years ahead? Would we rather be dipped in maple syrup or nutella? That sort of thing

Joining me this week are LSM executive producer Dustin Furman, coordinator Micah Moriarty, and special guest Rick Hoeg of Hoeg Law. As always, topics vary wildly.

Kicking off the discussion, Cog wants to commiserate about "that dude", aka that person in our lives that we just can't seem to gel with. Inevitably, we all have that one incompatible coworker, neighbor or friend of a friend that we'll probably never click with, and is it us or them? (Spoilers,, it's probably them). Weighing in next,
