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

Episode 142: Calamity Poppins

Now that the One True Game™ is out in Breath of the Wild, Matt, Ricardo and Ethan don’t have much to talk about… except for more Disc Jam and The Witcher 3! Plus: Ricardo yells about Snowboard Kids, Matt is wonders what mothers will think of gore in trailers, and Ethan just up and leaves the podcast for an indeterminate length of time! That plus the revenge of John Carmack, Playstation Now adds support for last gen, and the controversy surrounding plastic figurines while sprinting to fight Ganon.
