Oh boy. Former writer at Valve basically spoils what Half-Life 2: Episode 3 would have been… if ya know… it was still being made.

Speaking of which, the Steam community is taking out Half-Life 3 frustrations on DOTA 2’s Steam review, now.

And speaking of DOTA 2, can you guess which game has overtaken it in concurrent users numbers?

Indie dev would rather you pirate the game (from their torrent) than go to a key reseller

Episode 101: A bowl of beer

Leave a reply

Look let’s be real. This is the podcast where we finally gush about Overwatch. Of course we do it when Matt’s away, but that’s okay. He’ll get to chime in next week. Tons of great news and a new sort of feature, where we bring in a beer and talk about it. Yup, this is now a hipster podcast where we drink craft beer and share our opinions. Ethan’s man bun is pleased by this.

Beer of the week: New Belgium Heavy Melon

Games we played:

Ethan: Overwatch, Hearthstone

Ricardo: Overwatch

Episode 100: Darkness Detectives

Leave a reply

It’s our 100th episode! (Confetti falls from the sky) Aaaand other than that it’s pretty much things as normal on the Pixel Podcast. Matt walks us through the slow and steady beginnings of Twilight Princess HD, Ricardo’s sweet feelings towards Star Fox Zero have a slightly bitter aftertaste compared to his meal of Dark Souls 3, and Ethan has made friends with his inner Italian house burglar (and murderer.) All that, plus a wealth of negative Nintendo news, a Rock Band multiplayer feature that we thought was included already, and some trailers that are out of this world (because one is in space and the other is in a digital world.)

Games we played:

Ethan: Hitman Episode 2: SAPIENZA, Hearthstone

Ricardo: Dark Souls 3, Star Fox Zero

Matt: Enter the Gungeon, Hyper Light Drifter, The Banner Saga 2, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

The NEWS HOUR News Topics:
