The Pixel Response

Jurassic Park is a classic to many, but how does it hold up 27 years later? We spend some time checking it out again, for one of us the first time EVER, and discuss the finer points of how the book differs, kid actors, special effects from the 90s and who we would cast in a remake. This week's hosts are: Paul: https://twitter.com/exfauxsure Hank: https://twitter.com/ComicPanels JunkyGS: https://tw...

Hot off some more info about where some Mandalorians might be, Mando is given a task to drive a Frog woman and her eggs to her husband. Of course, shit happens. 

We did it! We survived long enough to see season 2 of The Mandalorian! Fresh on the run to find Baby Yoda's people, Mando gets some info that a rogue Mandalorian may be hiding out in the dunes of Tatooine. Too bad a giant sandworm has other plans for him, a small mining town he's visiting and the local Tusken Raiders...

Shown in 2019, Cris Tales is a visually stunning JRPG-style game that was due to come out this year that involved in-depth time manipulation mechanics, a frog companion and a whole lot of charm. I talk to Sebastian Villarreal, lead art director on Cris Tales, about life and representation of Colombia in gaming, thinking of time mechanics in video games, developing a game during a global pandemic a...

What would happen if you were a monster? Devoid of any humanity, how would you escape a lab you woke up in, only a mass of blood, guts, teeth and viscera? How would you integrate yourself into society when all you know is how to eat and grow? Maybe we're overthinking this a bit. I talk with Krzysztof Chomicki of Phobia Games Studio about the finer points of being a blob of biomass, how he would ma...

*** NOTE: There are plenty of original Final Fantasy VII (1997) spoilers that come up but, as you'll see pretty quick, they won't matter too much except to provide theorycrafting.*** It's finally here. Hank's favorite RPG growing up and one of the most iconic games of all time for anyone at the time, Final Fantasy VII has come out again. And man, there is a whole lot to talk about. Feel free to hi...

In which our heroes talk completely candidly about the pandemic, how it affects them and their lives. Welcome back, listener.

This movie had everything going against it; it's a video game movie with a rabid fanbase and the first look at it introduced some nightmare monster of a humanoid hedgehog. Here we are 4 months later and it's out. What do we think about it? Find out as Paul and Nathan dive down deep into Sonic like never before. ------------------------------- Intro: Green Hill Zone - Jon Batiste

Nathan finished Death Stranding and this is the moment Paul has been waiting for. Together they formulate a spirit bomb against the bullshit ending of Death Stranding and breakdown everything that drove us crazy about the experience of a fun game-play loop being thrown into an art-house pretentiousness fire. If it wasn't obvious, this is a huge, HUGE spoiler alert! Intro from "I'll Keep Coming" by...

Here it is, the season finale. Will Baby Yoda stay captured? Will the Mandalorian take his helmet off? Will Cara Dune die in a blaze of glory? One thing is for sure, we're sad to see the show end but happy to know more are coming. Be sure to tune in next year as we likely continue talking about each episode after they come out!

It's finally out. After the abortion that Rian Johnson decided to throw out there 2 years ago, J.J. Abrams has been sent in to pick up the pieces. So how did he do? Was the series too damaged for the limited scope J.J. generally can pull off or will the fanboy strike gold? Either way, it's all over now. Hank and I spoil the hell out of it.

Only 1 episode left until the series is done, and the lead up to it was a doozy. There is a lot of stuff going in this episode and we try to break it down, but a bunch of old faces are back and a big, new problem.

The Mandalorian contacts an old "friend" for a job and gets a bit more than he was expecting.

The Mandolorian needs to do some repairs to his ship on a familiar planet when he meets up with a bounty hunter that needs his help. What could possibly go wrong?

Finally! The moment a lot of us have been waiting for, we get introduced to the character played by the wonderful Gina Carano; Cara Dune, a ex-Rebel shock trooper. Hope you like Seven Samurai as we dive into the weakest (but still good) episode yet!

The Mandalorian has his bounty and heads back to hand it in to The Client. After getting some much needed upgrades however, he has a change of heart and realizes fans of the series love Baby Yoda too much.

After a great first episode, The Mandalorian continues his journey to deliver his bounty to his employer. He just has some trouble with Jawas along the way... Follow Hank here: https://twitter.com/ComicPanels

Disney+ is now out, and with it one of the only "original" content things I personally care about. The Mandalorian is a series based around a bounty hunter 5 years after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in the Star Wars universe.    We talk about it. Big spoilers.   Follow Hank here: https://twitter.com/ComicPanels   ********************************** This was from a...

Hank and I went to see the finale of The Avengers Marvel movie story arc. How does it fare? We run it down completely! Paul: twitter.com/exfauxsure Hank: twitter.com/ComicPanels

Resident Evil 2 has always had a special place in a lot of horror fans’ hearts. While the first game became an unexpected success, Capcom had to follow up with something bigger and, in doing so, created an instant classic back in 1998. With expectations being at an all-time high on the announcement of a remake, it couldn’t be possible that Capcom could make lightning strike twice under the same na...

Hank went to see Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Paul wanted to talk about it. So we did. A bunch. You owe it to yourself to check it out in theaters. Some of the things we mention to check out: Comics Ultimate Fallout(2011) #4 www.marvel.com/comics/issue/3996…te_fallout_2011_4 Spider-Men (miniseries) www.comixology.com/Spider-Men/comics-series/8068 Spider-Gwen www.marvel.com/comics/series/2...

Venom has a long history with Paul and Hank's childhood. A new movie focusing on Venom just came out. So how is it? Paul: twitter.com/exfauxsure Hank: twitter.com/ComicPanels

In which our heroes discuss a hotdog eating contest in a busy restaurant.

So, Ben read about the story beats from God of War. Paul played through the game. Both love Norse mythology, but how did they feel God of War did?

Here it is. 10 years of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally come to their culmination. Will Thanos overcome all odds to bring balance to the universe or will those pesky Avengers foil his plan once again? Paul: twitter.com/exfauxsure Hank: twitter.com/ComicPanels
