So I got this EPS16+ sampler now, and it did come with a sample library, but unfortunately that sample library was mostly the official EPS and ASR libraries plus a couple of fancy sound sets (OB8, bosendorfer, etc). Also an FX library that I haven't looked at yet.

I was hoping to find some of the common floppies that were going around in the day, like rips of AoN's "Hey" and chainsaw samples and Trevor Horn's "Doh"s. Alas, no luck. (I guess it's feasible that I sampled those myself?) But also there were a bunch of FX ones floating around for Mirage and EPS.

Anyone have a pointer to existing good-quality versions of that sort of thing?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 Mutant Nightmare with Pierce Lydon (Spawnography)

By 2005, Konami had made three TMNT beat-em-ups based on the 2003 animated series, which is the kind of commitment usually reserved for tax filings or long-term relationships. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare landed that November on GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo DS as the trilogy’s closer, and Konami sent it off in style by giving it the series’ first E10+ rating, as if four years of shell-based violence had finally crossed some invisible threshold of Too Much.

The game loosely adapts the show’s third season across four “Episodes,” which means the Triceratons invade Earth, Agent Bishop kidnaps Splinter for reasons that presumably made sense to somebody in a government facility somewhere, and Shredder shows back up to remind everyone that retirement isn’t really a thing that happens to ninja warlords. Along the way you can pour experience points into skill scrolls, transform into a Dino Turtle or an Ultimate Turtle depending on the mood, and, if you clear the first Episode, unlock a modified version of the 1991 arcade classic Turtles in Time, which is Konami’s way of saying “here’s the good one, in case this one doesn’t land.”

Joining me to sort the Triceratons from the Foot Ninjas is Pierce Lydon of Spawnography, the podcast where he and George Marston work through Todd McFarlane’s entire Spawn mythology one hellish arc at a time. Pierce has already survived one trip through the Play Comics gauntlet with me on Spawn in the Demon’s Hand, so they know exactly what they signed up for this time: showing up, being extremely knowledgeable, and getting talked into yet another licensed beat-em-up nobody asked for.

So grab a ninja scroll, pick a turtle, any turtle, and let’s find out whether Mutant Nightmare sent Konami’s turtle trilogy out on a high note, or whether the Triceratons should’ve just stayed home.

Learn such things as:

• When is it appropriate to make a game without the most iconic villains?
• How much can you cram into a game when you know it’s your last one?
• What magical things can you find at your public library?
• And so much more!

You can find Spawnography on BlueSky, and Instagram, and of course those Apple Podcast, YouTube, and Spotify places. Or you can find Pierce as a wonderful human on Instragram @lapsed.punk.

If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

If you want to help support the show check out the Play Comics Patreon page or head over to the Support page if you want to go another route. You can also check out the Play Comics Merch Store.

Play Comics is part of the Gonna Geek Network, which is a wonderful collection of geeky podcasts. Be sure to check out the other shows on Gonna Geek if you need more of a nerd fix.

You can find Play Comics @playcomics.bsky.social on Bluesky, @playcomicspodcast on Threads, @playcomics on YouTube, or the Play Comics website.

If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

A big thanks to Glitterjaw Presents and Byrds Eye View Comics for the promos today.

Renoncer à être heureux

T’es-tu déjà demandé si tu atteindras un jour le bonheur tel que tu l’as toujours imaginé ?

Dans cette vidéo, nous plongeons dans la philosophie d’Arthur Schopenhauer – l’un des penseurs les plus lucides et impitoyables concernant la nature humaine – pour comprendre pourquoi nous restons prisonniers d’une illusion façonnée par le désir.

Découvre pourquoi le bonheur promis par la société n’est qu’un mirage… et comment la souffrance pourrait être la clé d’une vie plus consciente, plus silencieuse, et paradoxalement, plus libre.

Schopenhauer et la vérité dérangeante sur le bonheur

Sound of Smoke – Mirage
(Psychedelic Rock, Hard Rock, Blues Rock / Tonzonen Records)
by Thomas

Beim Hören entsteht eine klare visuelle und körperliche Assoziation: Man findet sich Gedanklich in einer staubtrockenen Wüstenlandschaft wieder, die Hitze flimmert auf dem Asphalt, ausgetrocknete Wasserlöcher liegen in der Ferne, und man meint förmlich, das Salz auf den Lippen zu schmecken, kein Scherz.

Mirage, the startup behind AI video editing app Captions, has raised 75M USD in funding from General Catalyst. The company rebranded from Captions to Mirage last year to position itself as an AI lab creating models for advertising and marketing. It has trained a specialized model for video pacing, framing and attention dynamics, and recently launched an audio model that preserves user accents in generated videos. The app has been downloaded 3.2M times in the past year with 28.4M USD in revenue, and over 200M videos have been created on the platform. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/mirage-raises-75m-to-continue-building-models-for-its-ai-video-editing-app-captions/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AgenticAI #Mirage
