Episode 143: The Sexiest Aliens

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. Also, why is Goat Simulator still a thing? 

 

Games we played:

 

Matt: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Ethan: Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hidden Folks

Ricardo: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Street Fighter V

 

Beer: Fremont Lush IPA, Trader Joe’s Simpler Times
