The universe is getting weird, and the gaming industry is struggling to keep up. In this episode of the OlderNDumber podcast, Carter, Hunter, and Joey tackle a packed lineup of current events. We are discussing the latest Artemis Launch and diving down a rabbit hole of crazy space theories—from what we might actually find out there to the mysteries NASA might be keeping under wraps. But that is not all. We are shifting gears to talk about the latest Fallout news and what it means for the franchise moving forward. We also pull back the curtain on the development cycle of AAA video games in 2026. Why are games taking longer to build, costing more to make, and often failing to launch? We debate whether the industry is headed for a correction or if the "AAA" model is officially broken. Join us for a high-energy pop culture discussion that bridges the gap between scientific wonder and the grim reality of modern gaming. GET THIS EPISODE A WEEK EARLY & BONUS CONTENT!
