Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we’re talking about a bunch of stuff we’ve been playing on Nintendo Switch lately, before getting into a nostalgia-fueled discussion at the end of the episode.  Let’s get started!

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're trying something a little new this week, after announcing a slight change to the format of the podcast at the beginning of last week's episode!  We'll be bringing you our traditional, 'core' episodes on a bi-weekly basis, while every other week, we'll be bringing you a multitude of other gaming-related goodies—conversations from the cutting room floor, guest...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We’ve got a whole bunch of games to talk about this week of all shapes & sizes, so let’s get right down to business! John kicks things off with an update on his ongoing adventures in Monster Hunter: Rise —he’s seen the credits roll at this point, but that doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near being done with this game!  Sounds like there is ALL sorts of post-game goodne...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We are ALL over the map this week after celebrating our Two Year Anniversary, so let’s get this show on the road… First things first, John’s got a new laptop!?!  He hasn’t had a PC in ages and can’t wait to start combing through all of the (many) games he’s accumulated over the years through various bundles, crazy Steam deals, free Epic Store goodies, etc.  No Man...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  It’s hard to believe it’s been a full two years since we started up this project!?!  We’re gonna break the mold just a little bit this week and take a little time to discuss some of our favorite games that somehow haven’t come up on the podcast yet.  But before we get to that, we’ve got another franchise we need to revisit… On the very first episode of the podcast...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Can you believe we’ve been at this nonsense for (over) 100 episodes?!?  We’re not doing anything special for the occasion this week—we’ll be celebrating our Two Year Anniversary on next week’s episode—but we do have a bunch of recently released & relevant games to talk about for a change, so let’s dig into it! We kick things off with Pac-Man 99 , which surprisingl...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We’ve got ALL sorts of games to talk about this week, so let’s dig right into the action… We kick things off this week with a spotlight on Starjump , a brand new top-down precision platformer (you don’t see those everyday?!?) on the PICO-8 fantasy console .  The game even has its own atmospheric OST that you can pull up on YouTube while you play! From there, DJ fi...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We’re itching to dig into some ‘retro gaming’ goodness on ALL fronts this week, so let’s get right into the action… Kevin kicks things off with an awesome new indie arcade game, Satryn , that is heavily inspired by retro classics like Robotron, while simultaneously leaving them in the dust—this one is still a work-in-progress, so we’ll definitely be keeping you up...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  First things first, if you happen to notice John sounding a little different this week, his computer decided to record the audio from the mic built into the laptop—but we’ll just pretend he needed to keep his distance from his latest trek into the ‘Souls’ franchise, with Dark Souls III .  With that note out of the way, let’s get on with the show… Kevin kicks thing...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got all sorts of video game goodness coming your way this week, so let's start the show... John gets us started with his first impressions on Apex Legends after spending an entire evening syncing up with DJ, with only a small break for dinner.  Kevin also recaps one of his most recent streams, after getting completely hooked on Spinch , a super trippy 2D pre...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  First things first, you're probably going to hear a little bit of crackling in the background this week (particularly in the back half of the episode), due to a janky mic cable that has since been replaced.  That said, let's get to the video games! Kevin's been spending some more time hanging out in the  SELF discord, also known as 'the bugcord,' and couldn't wait...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the trio back together again this week with games of ALL shapes & sizes, so let's get started... Randall kicks things off with a couple of games that he's been going back to now that we can (sort of) see a light at the end of the COVID tunnel.  First, he dips back into Breath of the Wild and finally takes a stab at Eventide Island in earnest and is able...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  You're stuck with just Kevin & Randall this week, which means we're going to be veering a little further off the beaten path and into some more niche territory than normal, so buckle up! We kick things off with the latest release (and collaboration) between a couple of our favorite indie devs, mmatt_ugh & dev_dwarf , with Connor Grail cranking out some killer tune...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got a whole bunch of gaming goodness to discuss this week, so let's get right into it! John's kicks us off with his thoughts on  Downwell , which he's been digging deeper into after it came up on the podcast a few weeks back—it's all about that 'boulder mode' baby!  And while John makes his way down the well, Kevin tries to keep it from spilling over in  Ove...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We kick off the episode this week with a brief discussion about the most recent Nintendo Direct, which gave us some news & updates on first-party Switch titles for the first time in quite a while. From there, Randall fills us in on the latest beat 'em up on Genesis/Mega Drive, Paprium , from WM's Magical Game Factory.  This game sounds absolutely insane, and Randa...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded once again this week, but we're back as always to talk about some video games!

John & DJ get things started off with some more thoughts on Dark Souls II, which John booted up last week to share his initial impressions—and it seems like things are starting to turn arou...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we had some technical issues (aka some of our computers are super old), and we lost the audio from our first recording session.  Determined to get an episode out this week, we let the computers cool down for a bit and sat back down for take two, already a couple drinks deep..... Randall kicks us off with an 8bit retro nostalgia trip with his recently im...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Sorry if you can hear a little extra background noise on this week's episode—most of us are recording from older apartment buildings with antiquated heating systems.  That said, nothing's gonna stop us from us from talking some video games, so let's get rolling... DJ gets us started once again with another PS5 update, though he's moved onto Sekiro: Shadows Die Twi...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got another jam-packed episode full of video games this week, so let's jump right into it!
