Pixelated Sausage - The Pixelated Sausage Show

It's the end of an era. This is, for now and maybe forever, the final episode of The Pixelated Sausage Podcast. It's been quite the adventure and one hell of a ride, but I think anyone who's paid any attention has seen the writing on the wall for a while now; my heart just hasn't been in this show. My love and passion has been directed towards other projects--like Attack the Backlog and streaming-...

It's been an interesting week and the week that's about to follow it is going to be even more interesting. This episode is light on content because I both didn't play much and, on top of that, I completely forgot about this show (again). What does all this mean? It means I am now seriously considering retiring The Pixelated Sausage Podcast. I feel like it's been pretty obvious, especially as of la...

And just like that, the year is almost over. Was it good, was it bad? Who's to say, but it's definitely been had. I think I speak for only me when I say this year has been exhausting and I can't wait to start fresh with a new one that hopefully, eventually, finds us all returning to some kind of normalcy; however, the year is not over just yet and there are still games to talk about, including The...

Somehow, the year is almost over and yet it feels like it's only just begun, or maybe it actually feels like it's been multiple years despite it only being one. Whether you fall into the former camp or the latter camp, many games have come and gone in this here year of 2021 and this episode features a plethora of games that just came out only recently (or, at the very least, came out on a new plat...

The weight of the year is being felt and exhaustion is hitting us all, but Marc still manages to find the time to check out and talk about a few games this week, like always, including The Gunk (only their impression based off the first hour and a half or so), White Shadows (another one of those Limbo-likes), and DEEEER Simulator (a game all about--oh deer god...make it stop!), and more. Also, the...

Marc starts things off talking about their realization that they're allergic to Brussels sprouts and the adventure they had pooping all the poop. Once their bowels are empty, they dive deep into what they've been playing, including Hot Wheels Unleashed (finally!), Mini Madness (a game that wishes it was Hot Wheels Unleashed ), and Drizzlepath : Deja Vu (a walking simulator with controls that make...

After forgetting about the podcast last week, Marc is back in average form with a brand new episode full of games of many sorts. There's a first-person dungeon crawler with great art, a surprisingly good licensed 3D platformer, and one of the best visual novels Marc has ever played. There's also some crap too. If you want to know what's what--some are easier to guess than others--you'll just have...

The title says it all. It's been such a busy week that I completely forgot I even do this podcast, so as the evening of today creeped up, I remembered, "Wait...don't I do a weekly podcast about games and crap?!" So here we are with a thankful episode you can easily skip if you want, but if you choose to give it a listen, expect a shorty featuring a few things I'm thankful for, including you yourse...

Marc starts things off this week with a bit of backward compatibility talk, before diving into what they've been playing, including a party game that's no fun for parties of one, a resource management sim with oral and anal sex, and a visual novel with barely, if any, romance. If any of that sounds interesting to you, give this episode a listen and hopefully you have yourself a good time. Anyway.....

This week's episode is short, but sweet, with not one, but multiple treats. There's an RTS game on consoles that controls surprisingly well, a classic shmup that's good whether you're a fan or not, and a solid platformer inspired by 8-bit classics. If any of this sounds good to you, give this here episode a listen while you poo. You're sure to have a good time and, even if you don't, it'll at leas...

This week's episode has a couple of point-and-click adventures, a dreamy game that's sometimes a nightmare to play, a game all about fishing that finds me fishing for reasons to stick with it in its current buggy form, and a bloody Micro Machines -type game that's surprisingly okay (but just okay). Also, there's a new season and a new map for Apex Legends , so that's a thing too. Anyway...That's i...

This week's episode is a bit of a downer with a handful of disappointing games and only a few bright spots. From a remaster that feels more like a port to a cheap and ugly twin-stick shooter, there's not too much to get excited about this week, unless you like yourself some retro FPS action or metroidvania-esque games and, let's be honest, who doesn't? But that's it everyone. Here's to the end of...

This week's episode is another full one, but unlike some of the more recent episodes, this one features many games Marc enjoyed, including a fairly traditional rogue-lite with great art and great mechanics, and a linear survival game set in a surreal world that's both a joy to explore and discover. If you want some spice and variety in your life, give this episode a listen while eating a bowl or o...

Another week and another jam-packed episode full of many different games, from twin-stick shooters, to virtual reality survival games, and even a simulator all about fixing rovers. There are good games, okay games, and bad games, but which is which will only be learned by listening to the podcast, so grab them earbuds, turn on the hot tub, and enjoy yourself some good ol' fashioned podcasting. Any...

This week's episode is jam-packed and overflowing with games, games, and more games. Whether you're a fan of shooters, adventure games, puzzle games, platformers, or anything in between, there is something for you here (unless you only play racing games...sorry). Is what's here any good? Well, that's a whole 'nother story and something you'll only be able to answer by listening to this here episod...

Marc is even more out of their mind this week thanks to an unexpected death in the tech family that led to a surprise spending of lots of money. But who cares about that?! What you really care about are video games and video games they got, including one that talks way too much, thinks it's so funny, and is unabashedly inspired by Metal Gear , and a game named after a old lady wrestler that c...

Marc is ever-so-slightly out of their mind this episode as they talk about future projects they'd like to work on before eventually getting to what they've been playing, including yet another Overcooked -esque game, a game where YOU are fish, and a Pokemon clone that even kind of clones the name. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this here episode and hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. Cheers! Th...

Marc breaks hearts this week speaking the hard truth about SkateBIRD --spoilers: it's not good. In addition to crapping on SkateBIRD like birds crapping on StreetCURBS, Marc talks about a Resident Evil wannabe that gets one thing right, but everything else wrong, and a game where you make shakes on a plane that's surprisingly plain. Anyway, that is it, that is all. Do you know what season it is? S...

Marc feels nothing on this episode as most of the games discussed just don't click with them, from a game about shooting demons that was doomed to fail from the start, to a game that wants so badly to be classic Grand Theft Auto that you can't help but (unfavorably) compare the two. Anyway, that is it, that is all, if you hear the phone ringing, don't answer the call, just keeping doing what you d...

This episode is short, but sweet, and lacks any game that'll make you want to get on your feet, disappointing all of you Gloria Estefan fans out there. From a murder mystery, to an animal-filled adventure, and even a game that feels like Groundhog Day , not one of them stands out as something you need to play. That said, if you want to know why you shouldn't bother with any of these games, be sure...

This episode isn't quite as jam-packed as the last two, but there is still plenty to get excited about, like Marc going off on why the sharpening setting on TVs is garbage and a game played exclusively through audio cues. Anyway, as always, thanks for listening and I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful rest of your day. That's it and that's all folks. If you're feeling extra generous, you can bec...

This episode has it all, from romancing vampires and serial killers (but no romancing vampire serial killers) to wrestling with Boo from Super Mario Bros. and Shredder from TMNT ! Do you like card battling and Diablo -like games? Want a combination of the two? Well then... Do you like fantasy-themed tactics games of the non-final kind? If you said yes, then I've got you covered. There are games of...

This week's episode is full of highs and lows, from games that should be in a museum to games about mowing the lawn outside of museums. We've got kart racing in the sky and a game so cute you may want to die. A point-and-click adventure with telekinesis powers and a game so ugly, you'll want to take a shower. There are games for all so hold onto your butts, you may be sick of my rhyming, but I don...

A brand new jam-packed episode of The Pixelated Sausage Podcast is now! This one has something for everyone, from a game about taking pictures of wildlife and plant life, to a game about killing anyone and everyone with whatever weapon you can find, to a game about exploring the ocean and so much more. I'd be surprised if not one of the games discussed during this episode interested you in some wa...

Well, that experiment failed. After trying a few episodes of more focused content, I realized that really would be way more work and require time I do not have, so welcome back the return of smorgasbord episodes. This week's jam-packed episodes features many a game, including the very cool The Forgotten City and the still amazing Streets of Rage 4 .  hope you enjoy this return to form and, if...
