Welcome everyone to the very first episode of the Grown-Up Pixels Podcast!

Introduction

Hello everyone, and welcome to the first ever Grown-Up Pixels Podcast. This is episode 1 and my name is Mario. I have been playing video games since the 80’s, starting with the NES. Ever since then I have been playing non-stop. In addition to playing video games, I also enjoy video game music.

What is Grown-Up Pixels?

Grown-Up Pixels was originally created to document my video game life. Since then I have slowly changed what Grown-Up Pixels is really about. It’s now about creating a community around people that enjoy video games. More specifically, people that grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and are now adults, Of course, everyone is welcome, but because I was a kid during those years, I relate more with that generation of gamers. Many of us now have tons of responsibilities that require most of our attention but still very much enjoy video games. Some of us might not even get to play games as much as we used to, but still enjoy keeping up with the news, music, watching videos, listening to podcasts and passing down our love for games with the younger generations. If you could relate to some of that…your definitely Grown-Up Pixel!

Episode Frequency

I think, for the time being, the podcast will be a weekly podcast. I’m currently a one-man show. Once I get things in check and get into a routine, I might be able to do two episodes a week. I’m really not sure how much work this podcast is going to require, so we’ll see.

Question to the community:

What and when was your first exposure to Video Games?
