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

Punished “Venom” Ethan has to endure Master “Kazuhira” Matt, Amber “Shalashaska” Ocelot, and D-Ricardo talk endlessly about how great Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is! We played him like a damn fiddle! But we do get the chance to talk about some non-Metal Gear madness, such as Mario Maker, Until Dawn, a new Nintendo president, and whether or not Pokemon are real.
