Episode 103: My Girl, Keilbasa!

Leave a reply

Matt, Ethan and Ricardo are joined by Amber to discuss the some more games and a new beer! With everyone in the world from Tokyo to New York playing Overwatch we dip our toes into that, but don’t think we only focus on that mirage, as other games have taken up plenty of our game sessions like DOOM, Factorio, Stardew Valley, Star Fox Zero, Pocket Card Jockey and more! We’ve got more news than you can shake stick at, like Nintendo’s restaurant business and Apple’s anti-political messaging. That and some of the weirder trailers we’ve seen in a while…. #FE

Games we played:

Ethan: DOOM, Factorio, SFV

Ricardo: God of War III Remastered, Pocket Card Jockey

Matt: Star Fox Zero, The Banner Saga 2, OVERWATCH

Amber: Stardew Valley

Episode 102: Two Beers and a Bean

Leave a reply

Despite reocording problems and actually having to edit, Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo all return to bring you more of the Pixel Podcast you crave. We review a new beer, talk about some Indie darlings as well as the 3rd latest game in the Uncharted series, and then take some time to review some news and trailers. Some sad Disney news, some weird Nintendo news, and a very stark trailer for Civilization VI await! Word of advice: don’t buy beer that’s 8% ABV for use while recording a podcast.

Episode 101: A bowl of beer

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.

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:

Nintendo only has one game at E3

Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing on phones
