    Sony May Stop PC Ports? PlayStation Exclusivity Returns | Pokémon Pokopia & Highguard Ep.137

    🎮 The Level Down Podcast – Is Sony Returning to Console Exclusivity? | Pokémon Pokopia Hype | Highguard Shutdown & Live-Service Game Failures In this episode of The Level Down Podcast, we break down some of the biggest gaming stories making headlines right now. Sony may be shifting its strategy back toward PlayStation console exclusivity, with reports suggesting that some future single-player games may no longer come to PC. We talk about what this could mean for the future of PlayStation, PC gaming, and upcoming titles like Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and Marvel’s Wolverine. We also dive into the Pokémon community hype around the new Pokémon Pokopia game that feels like a mix of Animal Crossing and Minecraft, plus a cool new collectible celebrating Pokémon’s history — the Pokémon Red & Blue Game Boy Jukebox that lets fans play classic tracks from the original games. Another big topic this week is the sudden shutdown of Highguard, the free-to-play hero raid shooter that launched earlier this year. Despite solid gameplay and strong early player numbers, the game is already closing down. We discuss what went wrong, the online backlash the developers faced, and whether internet negativity can kill a game before it truly has a chance. We also look at several other live-service games that struggled to survive, including Warface, Anthem, and Knockout City, and talk about why so many online games fail to build a lasting player base. 👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for weekly gaming news, reactions, and real conversations from the Level Down Podcast. 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms.

    TMNT Secret of the Ooze 35th Anniversary | God of War Series Update + Nicolas Cage Ep. 132

    Welcome back to the podcast! Today we’re diving deep into nostalgia, major entertainment news, and some legendary film talk that you won’t want to miss. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze is officially celebrating its 35th anniversary, and fans will soon have the chance to experience it the way it was meant to be seen — on the big screen. The special theatrical re-release runs nationwide from March 13 through March 19, 2026, with tickets on sale now. We break down why this fan-favorite sequel still delivers more than three decades later and how it captured the height of Turtlemania with bigger action, funnier moments, unforgettable villains, and a whole lot of pizza. From the mysterious mutagen that expanded the franchise mythology to the unforgettable arrival of Tokka and Rahzar, Secret of the Ooze helped define a generation of fans. And yes — we absolutely talk about the iconic “Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go” moment that no longtime Turtle fan could ever forget. We also shift gears to one of the most anticipated video game adaptations in development. Amazon’s live-action God of War series has officially received a two-season order and is currently in pre-production in Vancouver. Based on the critically acclaimed 2018 game and its sequel Ragnarök, the series will follow Kratos and his son Atreus as they journey through the Norse realm of Midgard. With a story centered on fatherhood, redemption, and the battle against powerful gods and monsters, expectations are already sky-high. Ryan Hurst has been cast as Kratos, bringing serious presence to the role after previously portraying Thor in God of War: Ragnarök. The project is led by acclaimed showrunner Ronald D. Moore, with Emmy-winning director Frederick E.O. Toye set to helm the first two episodes. While production is underway, the scale of the series suggests a premiere is likely no earlier than 2027. We also discuss Madden, the upcoming film starring Nicolas Cage that explores the incredible life of John Madden — from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders to building the Madden NFL video game empire and becoming one of the most recognizable voices in football history. To close things out, we highlight some of the best Nicolas Cage movies that prove why he remains one of Hollywood’s most unique and enduring stars, including Face/Off, Con Air, The Rock, and Knowing.

    Travis Orndorff Interview - "Mr. Wonderful" - Bonus Episode.

    Chondel and Devin from The Bury the Booking Podcast and The Level Down Podcast had the pleasure of joining Kevin Jefferies (aka “Lito”) and Keith Hayes (aka “Sinista1”) on the Turnbuckles and Spilt Liquor Podcast for a very special interview with Travis Orndorff — son of the legendary Paul “Mr. Wonderful” Orndorff. In this episode, Travis shares stories and insight into the life and legacy of his father, Paul Orndorff Jr. (October 29, 1949 – July 12, 2021) — an American professional wrestler and football player best known for his iconic runs in the WWF and WCW. After spending seven years competing across the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), Orndorff became a major star during the 1980s WWF wrestling boom. Managed by the legendary Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, he was heavily featured alongside Hulk Hogan, including main events at the first-ever WrestleMania and Survivor Series. In 1990, Orndorff jumped to WCW, where he captured the WCW World Television Championship and the WCW World Tag Team Championship alongside Paul Roma as the team Pretty Wonderful. Following his in-ring career, Paul transitioned into training the next generation of wrestlers. Despite arm atrophy caused by a long-term injury forcing his retirement in 2000, Orndorff’s impact on professional wrestling never faded. His legendary career was honored with inductions into the WWE Hall of Fame (2005) and the NWA Hall of Fame (2009). This is a must-watch conversation for fans of classic wrestling, wrestling history, and the legacy of one of the true greats — Mr. Wonderful.
