Matt and Ricardo ramble through their latest Zelda discoveries. Ethan did the unthinkable. Ricardo is mad at Street Fighter V. So all-in-all an average week on the Pixel Podcast. But this time we also talk about ARMS, which Mass Effect aliens are most bangable (hint it’s not the dog like ones) and of course how we all secretly want to work at Nintendo.

Episode 117: Spaceballs is a Good Movie

Leave a reply

While Matt and Amber have played barely any games this week, and Ricardo has been too busy with wrestling events to play anything that isn’t on his phone or a clicker, Ethan makes up for it by playing several games and recording an interesting experience during the Battlefield 1 beta test! We have a few serious business news items to get through before we get to the absolute glory that is one of this week’s Trailer Trash trailers. We’ll let you guess which one it is.

Games we played:

Ethan: Rimworld, Batman Telltale, Battlefield 1 kinda, WWE 2k16

Ricardo: Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits, Adventure Capitalist

Matt: Nothing!

Amber: Not Much!

Episode 114: No Country for Old Men’s Sky

Leave a reply

Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo have all dug into their versions of No Man’s Sky! And… it’s just OK. Well I suppose it depends who you ask. We discuss at length the different ups and downs of such an anticipated title, but also get some time to get an update on Monster Hunter, and learn how to die horribly and repeatedly as a king in Reigns. Besides the No Man’s Sky news we hear a lot about Nintendo shutting things down, Overwatch pumping things up, and some drug infused indie releases coming soon in this week’s Trailer Trash!

Games we played:

Ethan: No Man’s Sky (PC), MHG

Ricardo: No Man’s Sky (PS4), Reigns

Matt: No Man’s Sky (PC)

The NEWS HOUR News Topics:

The No Man’s Sky Rise and Fall (and now somewhere in the middle depending on who you ask) Section:

No Man’s Sky PC version sucks, and the PS4 one has it’s problems too

http://kotaku.com/no-man-s-sky-is-pretty-rough-on-pc-1785215657

Reviews like this are not uncommon

And more positive reviews also abound
