Michael Mendheim, the creator of Mutant League Football and the proud operator of a brand spankin’ new Kickstarter project, joins the show to talk about everything from his original water cooler pitch his first Genesis game, what it was like to work at EA under Trip Hawkins, as well as his latest and greatest project, Mutant Football League.
Cinnabunny and Time is Honey are currently up to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter right now. They're both adorable.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
Loved that game, on the good old Sega genesis!
I want to see / learn more, but I would totally contribute to this I loved MLF. Favorite 2 teams were the skeletons (whichever one that launched their catchers over the DL) and the orcs (the gas, lol).
To everyone that commented here, I'll pass along your comments to Michael as I'm sure he'd love hearing how well his game was/is remembered.
Additionally, definitely tell your friends, family and random passers by about this kickstarter and we'll be sure to promote the ever-lovin-crap out of this on our show.
Thanks for all your comments and feedback and I'll let you know what he says.
I checked out the website, any chance it will get released on Xbox one or ps4?
