The Pixel Response

A whole lot of television watching this week as Nathan runs down a few series, including the new hotness True Detective while Paul watches Space Dandy and starts his catching up on House of Cards. Paul gets back into the MMO scene by playing some Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and… World of Warcraft?! Also, an exclusive voice mail from a special listener has us questioning our sexuality.

This week, Nathan gets annoyed about The LEGO Movie’s warm reception, finishes off Attack on Titan season 1 and is reinvigorated with Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward. Due to the new release “Because The Internet”, Childish Gambino gets some discussion as well as reviewing music as a whole. Speaking of internet, Paul and Nathan go back to their pasts and recall their very early internet memories...

Nathan has plans for Valentine’s Day so Paul calls in the SpaghettiCast. Just Cause 2 multiplayer is on the go but Ty finally gets into Borderlands while Paul tries out Blood Knights and loves the new Tomb Raider. Also, cheese on apple pie: good or bad?

This week sees our unlikely heroes talk with special guest Oni_Metsu from the Pixel Response community! Paul has been finishing The Office(U.S.) for whatever reason but not before watching Olympus Has Fallen. Nathan does some film-festing and watches Flash Gordon, Logan’s Run and Ghost in the Shell 2.0 on the big screen as well as continues the quest to watch more Attack on Titan. James (A.K.A. On...

Paul talks about doing a bunch of daily challenges for his favorite rogue-like games, Nathan gets really into 999 and Ollie Ollie. Paul gets his order of shirts and mugs while Nathan watches more Attack On Titan so we discuss anime as a whole and about how Simpsons was the only media to define culture at the time. Thrown in there are our thoughts on Jack Ryan, 21 & Over and World War Z. Also,...

Back like a John Hughes movie no one asked for, Paul and Nathan discuss the finer points of “Dude Ranching”, Nathan kind of hates Castle Doctrine and loves Attack On Titan  (so far, anyways) and Paul gets into Risk of Rain . After that, they answer a whack of voicemails from various people for the second half of the show! Also, please check out our new video presence on YouTube by clicking HE...

It’s the eve of the eve of a New Year and Paul and Nathan get together to recap the last little bit of 2013, including a very brief overview of their Games of the Year . Paul goes to see  The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug  while Nathan gets grumpy from seeing  The Wolf of Wall Street  and forgot all about Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Also, the two look back on some high...

In this very holy episode of the podcast, Paul and Nathan talk about Christmas, family and the best movie of the 90s… maybe. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and will see you next year! Also, Hack the Planet!

We’re happy to welcome Tony Pomposelli (from Inside The IceHL podcast) to the podcast to discuss State of Decay, the problems of fantasy clashing with real life, Christmas and baseball movies and the awkwardness of running into people you know at work. Also, do we need reviews anymore? Really?

Well, here we are. 100 episodes, almost 3 years of podcasting and it comes down to… basically more of the same! Paul watches The Wolverine, Nathan plays Saints Row IV and the Spike.com VGX Awards happened. Also, stay tuned after the outro for Nathan’s exclusive review of Titanfall! Special thanks to FoxytheKid for our special intro and outro roll this week!

We think the title says it all. All work, no play, something something… both Paul and Nathan are a bit more cynical than regular this week and unleash a four hour storm of call-outs and ranting. That being said, the get into some talk of State of Decay, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and bitcoins after a newly introduced segment where we dissect some of Nathan’s more snarky tweets! Also, we’re ki...

Nathan’s enthusiasm for Nintendo from last week gets fulfilled with the Super Mario 3D World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds releases this week. Paul plays through Gunpoint and the two talk about console wars. Also, Paul has some conspiracy theories about Sony guerrilla marketing.

Nathan revisits Nintendo’s past by reading Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America and looks into Deux Ex: Human Revolution and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons to mixed results. Paul has a surprisingly decent time watching We’re The Millers and the two discuss topics that will likely anger others. Also, sushi is kinda great. Right?

Nathan talks a long time on Call of Duty: ghosts and Assassin’s Creed IV (weird, right?) while Paul doesn’t enjoy Beyond: Two Souls a whole lot yet. Nathan gets snarky about the infamy people gain from causing tragic events and ponders why terrorists don’t do the same. The two discuss Remembrance Day and question why only the heroic moments are remembered when it comes to war. Also, how many penis...

Paul drinks too much while waiting for Nathan to come home from work this week and is pretty out of it from the get-go. Thankfully, Carlos (AKA Handsomefatman, AKA Specssrk, AKA Axelhander) from Two Fat Guys Talk Gaming podcast saves the day by bringing his own brand of hilarity to the mix as the three talk about Playstation 4, handheld games, Nintendo failures, Killzone 3, Rocky Horror Picture Sh...

Paul and Nathan share a lot of common ground this week. With the official, stand-alone release of The Stanley Parable, the two talk about the fallacy of subverting expectations of games by using the same expectations. Nathan isn’t impressed with The Wolf Among Us which gets Paul ready to argue (for whatever reason). Nathan loves Spelunky, Paul hated R.I.P.D. and the two talk about t-shirts with Na...

Nathan joins Paul and Jon again on this special Halloween episode to discuss the various games from our past that terrified us and defined what makes a video game scary.

Pat Kemp is a man who has worn his share of hats. Working on projects for Zynga, Gaslamp Games, Microsoft and now Spryfox, Pat is the first guest we’ve had to have an extensive indie career working for companies in their own buildings!

Nathan takes an unfortunate trip to another province and watches Carrie using the Cineplex VIP experience while Paul hosts a Pokemon Tournament and watches Pacific Rim. Also, more anger directed at random companies for no real reason.

This week, Paul jumps back into Pokemon with Pokemon X and will be hosting the Pixel Response Pokemon Tournament next week. Nathan plays Beyond: Two Souls to completion and describes David Cage’s new story-telling issues and whether or not he’d pay for Ellen Page. Nathan watches Rush, a boring movie about boring racing and the two talk about their distaste for Ron Howard and “Top 10” lists.

Alec Holowka has been a pillar of the indie gaming community ever since Aquaria came out to much critical acclaim in 2007, so Paul and Nathan were humbled to have him on this episode of Indie Talks. Indie Houses, Towerfall (which just hit a bunch of other platforms but we talk some OUYA too), the Infinite Ammo podcast and a really honest and open conversation about the development of Marian are al...

Paul catches up on some anime with the first season of Attack On Titan and the second season of Legend of Korra while Nathan watches some space and sci-fi movies like Gravity, Zardoz and Rollerball. In the same vein, Paul watched After Earth and struggles to say anything good about. Also, Limp Bizkit is rockin’ the set.. it’s like Russian Roulette…

Retro Killscreen is back to bring you the perfect culmination of our over 60 years collective experience, trials and tribulations in the Legend of Zelda series for the most insightful and important discussion ever recorded about the classic series. What better way to start it than some stupid dubstep?

After a ravagingly awesome, insightful and, dare I say, hilarious episode of Spoiled! in which Paul, Nathan, Peter and Ben talk for nearly two hours about Breaking Bad… the recording is ruined and our heroes are in disarray. Sorry about that. Anyways, Peter from SpaghettiCast joins Paul and Nathan to discuss brief Breaking Bad business before Nathan describes how he relates to Don Jon and how Paul...

Riding high from his break-out success Proteus, Ed Key talks to us about his game shortly after its initial release and a whack of random other details including the weather (?), Nathan’s fascination with Steve Coogan and what makes a game “a game”.
