Avsnitt

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We've got the whole crew back in the house once again, and a whole bunch of various video game series to discuss this week, so let's get right into it...

    John kicks things off with a bit of a Dark Souls discussion, after primarily spending a bunch of time replaying Dark Souls II on his trusty Steam Deck β€” and in turn, experiencing the "online" elements of the game for the first time!

    After that, Randall moves onto the second chapter of his resolution game for this year, as he begins to tackle Ys: Book II on his Analogue Duo.

    From there, Kevin digs into (quite literally) the NSMB series as a whole, after recently snagging a copy of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on Nintendo Switch.

    Finally, John closes things out with a little "Tales Talk," as he's been replaying Tales of Symphonia; and also firing up Tales of Arise for the first time!

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

    Kevin gets the ball rolling this week with a brief update on all things PP, as we quickly approach the five year anniversary of the podcast β€” and gear up for our third annual PPJJGG game jam!

    After that, he quickly digs into a couple of games that he's been playing via Xbox Game Pass lately β€” including getting his golf game on with EA Sports: PGA Tour, and scaling a gorgeous & mysterious mountain in Jusant.

    Randall joins in on the fun after that, as we dive into all sorts of video gaming (adjacent) nonsense β€” including a little TurboGrafx-16 talk, some of our favorite arcade-inspired games & series, being in the market for a new TV, and much more...

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. It's our first duo episode in a little while, as we've only got Kevin & Randall in the house this week β€” but we've still got plenty of video gaming goodies to dive into, so let's get things rolling!

    Randall gets things started up with a quick update on Diablo IV, as he and his wife have been getting back into the couch co-op grind before bed lately.

    After that, Kevin digs into a couple of puzzle games that he's been really enjoying (and also making him do some serious thinking) on Nintendo Switch β€” Railbound and Upaon: A Snake's Journey.

    Finally, Randall wraps things up with another update on his resolution game for this year, Ys: Book I & II, as he slogs through the final bits of the first chapter, and continues onto the next!

    **Sorry for the extra background noise this week, and the resulting handful of choppier-than-usual edits!**

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

    Kevin has been going HAM, snagging virtually every game that goes on sale on his Nintendo Switch wishlist these days β€” including a trio of fantastic 2D platformers, and a buttery smooth 3D platforming adventure!

    John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into Randall's recent retro purchases, go over Kevin's first Balatro victory, and listen to John gush about his latest Monster Hunter adventures...

    Kevin kicks things off with a couple of games that he's played during some of his recent livestreams β€” ITTA and Solar Ash β€” and has nothing but great things to say after his first hour or two with each game!

    John's up next with a pair of games he's been digging into lately, including a bit of an iffy experience with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, follow by a full blown gush fest in regards to his time with Outer Wilds.

    Randall wraps things up with a whole bunch of games that he's been plopping into his three new Analogue Pocket Adapters, which now allows him to collect for even more obscure retro platforms!

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

    Kevin gets the ball rolling with another batch of indie gems that he snagged for ridiculously cheap on Nintendo Switch over the last couple of weeks β€” and even makes time for a quick shoutout to the incredible OSTs for Mario Golf & Mario Tennis on the Game Boy Color!

    John & Randall jump into the conversation from there, as John shares some gripes with his Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order experience so far, before he digs into it fully on next week's proper episode. We also discuss a couple of classic scenes (and their TV edits) from The Big Lebowski & Happy Gilmore, a few classic toys & board games from our childhoods, and more...

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. This week, we've got only one game to discuss, and that game is the incredibly addictive (and recently released) Balatro!

    It's pretty rare for us to dedicate an entire episode to a singular video game, but Balatro's got the hooks in all three of us at this point, and something tells me at least one of us will be bringing this one up again at the end of the year...

  • Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. First and foremost, apologies for the little bit of extra background noise on this week's episode, mostly courtesy of a rattling mic stand β€” but absolutely no apologies for the adorable cameo from John's cat, Regis. Now let's talk about some video games!

    Kevin kicks things off with a couple of games that he streamed recently, each from a different prolific PICO-8 developers β€” The Shadow King from Johan Peitz and Fungus Reaper from Sebastian Lind.

    Randall picks up the ball from there, and digs into his experience with the recently released 'Special Edition' of (Mr.) Gimmick! on Nintendo Switch β€” and you know he snagged the collector's edition​, which is sadly no longer available. :/

    Finally, John wraps things up with a duo of games that he's been swapping back and forth between on his Steam Deck β€” Lonely Mountains: Downhill and Monster Hunter: World.

    Kevin played through the recently released demo for Princess Peach: Showtime right before sitting down to record the intro to this week's episode and gives some quick impressions!

    He also ripped through the demo for Pepper Grinder, one of his most anticipated upcoming 2D platformers; and gives a quick shoutout to Attack of the Karens, a stylish & hilarious roguelite bullet hell shoot 'em up!

    John & Randall join in on the fun after that, as we get into all sorts of retro gaming goodies this time around β€” including John's experience with Ys I & II: Chronicles+ so far, the TurboGrafx-16 console, more of the games from XSEED Publishing, and much more...

    Kevin gets the ball rolling this week with a trio of indie gems that he's snagged recently on Nintendo Switch for super duper cheap β€” including Aggelos, ITTA, and Jetboard Joust.

    After that, John dives into a couple more games that he's been replaying on his handy dandy Steam Deck as of late β€” including Dark Souls III and the Final Fantasy VII: Remake.

    Finally, Randall closes things out with some thoughts on It Takes Two, after finally getting over the emotional hurdles in the opening bits of the game, and getting into the couch co-op action!

    Kevin gets things started this week by ratting off a handful of the games he's been dipping his toes into over the last week or two β€” including a recent session with the latest Madden release, a couple of arcade-y precision platformers, a super vibey & heady puzzler, and more...

    After that, Randall & John join in on the fun as we dive into all sorts of video gaming goodness β€” Kevin & John still can't get enough Lonely Mountains: Downhill, Randall worries that he won't be able to play all the games before the clock runs out, we skim through the catalog of games from XSEED Games, and much more...

    Kevin gets things started off with some first impressions on Lil Gator Game after ripping through the opening hour or so, and immediately falling in love!

    After that, Randall hits the ground running, and dives right into his resolution game for 2024 β€” and shares some quick thoughts about his new Analogue Duo, as well.

    ​Monster Hunter: WorldJohn's been spending a whole bunch of time playing Monster Hunter: World on his newly acquired Steam Deck, and experimenting with all sorts of different weapons.

    We kick things off with a little online multiplayer chit chat, after playing some Fall Guys with our bandmates recently.

    John picks up the reigns from there, and digs into some thoughts on Earthbound, which he's been playing via the Nintendo Switch Online service.

    Kevin finally cracks and picks up a physical copy of Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle, and couldn't be happier about adding this neo retro arcade gem to his collection.

    Finally, John closes us out with a quick gush session, after scooping up the newly released Risk of Rain Returns, and falling in love with the series all over again.
