CGMagazine Presents: The Pixels & Ink Podcast

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, Konami looks like its imploding, and unfortunately, it’s taking Silent Hill with it, so this podcast just turned into a wake. Canadian game prices are shooting up to $80 in some cases, so you’d better start tightening that wallet. And hey Broken Age got finished! And it’s an adventure game! By Tim Schafer!

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, Joss Whedon speaks out in a surprisingly candid way about the way the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going. Phil has watched Ex Machina and it’s a pleasant little bit of hard science fiction before the summer begins.

You had to be there.

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, beloved comic fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett passes away and that’s both sad and totally not okay.

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, GDC is happening and so there’s been a ton of news. Both Valve and Sony have big virtual reality updates.

Also, Resident Evil HD is surprisingly still good, so you should play...

No, really. Finally, Phil has seen a satanic movie, but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up—or down—to the promise of all hell breaking loose.

Finally, no one’s been playing anything new, because nothing new has come out, but we all like Grim Fandango.

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, it’s the look back at 2014 to see which game ends up being the CGM game of the year.

On this week’s CGM podcast, we actually get a new name! It’s Pixels & Ink , and it’s still all about the comics and games, although this week… it isn’t. Since it’s Halloween, we go over all the scary things in the geek kingdom, the scariest games, scariest comics and of course, scary movies and TV shows. It’s a lot of ground to cover, but we manage.

On this week’s CGM podcast, the GTA San Andreas might be coming back, but there’s still a question of what form it will return in.
