"My name is Susan Ashworth. I live alone in this old two-bedroom flat. I rarely go outside. Some would say it's a lonely life... I only trust in my cats these days, and I will miss them dearly... but they will understand, like they always have. Teacup stays with me 'till the end. He watches me, as if he knew... Because, early tonight, I swallowed a whole bunch of pills. Any second now, I will be dead. I've only got one thing to say now. Thanks for nothing... Goodbye."

This week on Pixel Project Radio, Ben and Rick kick off their month of Spooky Games in October with The Cat Lady! They talk about the atmosphere and world building, music, and some real fumbles the game makes. All in all a great play, and we (sort of) recommend it! Check it out!

“Despite everything, it's still you.”

Knowing that Ben and Rick will cover Undertale, in all of its narrative, gameplay, and quirks...it fills you with DETERMINATION. We both have a lot of affection for this game, so we are thrilled to bring it to our platform!

For many of us, it's ingrained in our memories: opening up our very first game, booting it up, and hearing the iconic music greet and embrace us for a very special journey to come. Whether it's Super Mario, the Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, or more, music has become not only ubiquitous but integral to the creation and enjoyment of video games. In this episode, Ben, Rick, and Vince read off some of YOUR responses to your favorite music, talk about our very favorites, discuss the merit of engaging with culture, and more. And as you might expect, we edited a LOT of good music into this one.

"I don't understand."
"We don't need to, it'll happen all the same."
"Why?"
"Because it does. Because it has. Because it will."

Welcome to another episode of Pixel Project Radio! This week, join Ben and Rick as they talked, talk, and will talk about Bioshock Infinite! The two boys feel pretty differently about this game as a whole, and a LOT of healthy discussion is had! We speak to the game's narrative, talk about some theming choices and why we believe they did or didn't work, and Arrested Development makes an appearance. Oh, and did we mention the music, as usual for the Bioshock series, is terrific? Lots to love about this one - check it out!

"A man chooses...a slave obeys."

Join Ben, Rick, and Vince as they venture somewhere beyond the sea to cover one of the most well regarded games of all time, Bioshock. A game steeped in the logical conclusion of a hyper-free market and capitalist dystopia, you play as Jack, a silent protagonist who is navigating the landscapes of Andrew Ryan's underwater city of Rapture. In the episode, we talk about the world building and lore, how the ideology of Objectivism shaped the narrative, and of course *that* scene. Listen to this episode, would you kindly?

"I came out here for a breath of fresh air and adventure."

A lot of folks hear the phrase "walking sim" and roll their eyes, imagining boredom. Firewatch is a game that proves this notion to be false, as inside is a short little game filled with a atmosphere, ambiance, and character development. From the writers of "The Walking Dead" comes a game that explores themes of isolation, relationships, and honesty. Lots of good discussion in this one!

In this week's Checkpoint!, Ben and Rick are flying solo. We wonder wistfully where Vince might have gone, Ben speaks in hushed tones over his increasingly hostile tomato plants, and...oh yeah, we announce our August schedule! Great times - AHOY!

I don' t know... Fear? I don't want to stop. And maybe I want to run away from it all. But living in the village with everyone fills me with joy. The joy of living with them far outweighs the fear of death. Isn't it the same for you? Traveling with your friends gives your life meaning.

The saga continues as Ben, Rick, and Vince wrap up Final Fantasy IX...for now. FF IX is a game that excels at many things, but as is the case with so many games in the series suffers from a weak underbelly in the middle to late middle of the journey. Nevertheless, we progress forward and experience more of this quintessential JRPG.

You don't need a reason to help someone.

The saga continues as Rick, Vince, and Ben make their way through Final Fantasy IX. What happens after the Evil Forest? Why did Tantalus kidnap Garnet? How do we feel about Joe Rogan? You can find out all of this and more on this week's episode of Pixel Project Radio!

"I have to find out who I am... I'm scared... What if I'm not even human...?"

It was the swansong of the Playstation 1 and a love letter to the series. It aimed to be an amalgamation of everything that made the series what it had become. And yet despite this, it has never lived up to the hype of it's brethren installments of VI, VII, and X.

We think that's ridiculous.

Join us on this three-episode special of the infinitely charming Final Fantasy IX. This first episode will primarily be generalities, background, and mechanics, along with just a little bit of the story.
