COL-LAB-O-RAAAAAAAAATION!

This week, your very stable hosts who love each other very much - ahem, Rick and Vince - take on a newer platformer/puzzler from EA, It Takes Two.

There's also talk of Inglorious Basterds within, too. Can't remember how we got there...huh. Anyways, enjoy the episode!

“What about you, cop man? You missing someone?”
Is that what it is — this feeling?
No. It’s scarier than that. You’re *pursued* by a hunter. Smelling of apricots and sorrow. And the past.

In this week's episode of Pixel Project Radio, hosts Vince and Rick take on the critically acclaimed CRPG "Disco Elysium." Disco is a game that is simultaneously delving into the complexity of the human condition while boasting an irreverence that simply must be experienced. From the World's Best Communist Builder to a Sorry Cop to someone searching for what pained him so deeply in the past, the tagline of the game says it best: What Kind of Cop Are You?

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

In this week's episode of Pixel Project Radio, Rick and Ben tackle a fan favorite of the Zelda series - and indeed both hosts' favorite in the franchise - Majora's Mask. Set on an incredibly tight schedule and making use of its predecessor's engine and models, Majora's Mask seemed doomed to fail from the start. Nevertheless, it defied the odds and produced one of the most depressingly charming games of the series. Which is the best dungeon? What's the best mask? Which is the best song in the game? Join us and find out!
