“Well… I don’t believe in curses either, but to incur the grudge of a woman is a horrifying thing.”

This week features the third essay on Pixel Project Radio, titled "The Thematic Elements of Catherine." Atlus released this cult hit in 2011, and it has always lived within the shadows of its much more successful and flashy siblings bearing the Persona name. This is a shame, as Catherine is a wholly unique game with a surprising amount to say about the human experience. This essay focuses on two themes present within the game's story. I hope you enjoy!

Don't fuck with a witch.

This week, Rick is joined by Nicholas - better known as TripleSMoon - in an effort to get stylish and sexy, because this episode is all about the character action classic, Bayonetta. This game is a study in all things excess, but don't let the over-the-top presentation fool you: there is a complex and deeply satisfying battle system under the hood. In this first episode, we go over all of the background to the game, examine the mechanics, smile at (and with) the visuals, and gush over the music. The episode went much longer than we were expecting, so expect a part 2 immediately after this episode. We hope you enjoy!

This is a BONUS EPISODE that I'm uploading to the main feed. It was our patron-exclusive back in February, and Ryan from the List Off Podcast joins me to talk all things Marvel Snap! This game has lost a bit of steam at the time of writing, but it's still going plenty strong. We hope you enjoy!

FINISH HIM!....Friendship? Again?

This week, Rick is joined by Zulgeek (aka Jake) to talk all things Kombat - particularly of the Mortal variety. We dive into the game that started it all and its competition with Street Fighter II, the 1993 hearing that created the ESRB, favorite kharacters, and more. We hope you enjoy!

Now this is a high-class 'cast!

Rick is joined this week by Eric Gess, host of The Unlockables Podcast, as they parry, dash, and shoot their way through the 2017 smash hit, Cuphead! There's a lot to love about this game, but it isn't without its hangups - specifically, it's devilishly difficult! Can the loving charm of the animation and music save it? What about the puns?! We get to all of this and more. We hope you enjoy!

"Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?"

The time has come to close out one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. The final stretch of the game is some of the finest it has to offer; join Rick and special guest Chris as they dig into a cornucopia of symbolism and religious iconography in Kefka's Tower. We also wrap up each character's scenario/arc. We hope you enjoy!

"What's up? Sorry, mun—if it's a pep talk youer after, I'm a bit short of wise words at the moment. Got a few unwise ones if you fancy them..."

This week, join two pure-hearted podcasters as Rick and special guest Jared (PlayAlongPodcast) explore the magical world of Level 5's Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. This has been a JRPG a long time coming to the show, and one look at it is plain to see why: animations by Studio Ghibli, music by Joe Hisaishi, and writing from Level 5 all come together to create a genuinely magical experience. Hear us talk all about the battles, the puns, and more. Don't be a cry-baby-bunting, click play 'init?

Ugh...family drama.

This week, Rick is ferried by the Stygian Boatman down the River Styx along with good friends Nick and Will, of the Friday Night Gamecast. The destination? None other than Hades! This smash hit from Supergiant Games was many's GOTY choice, and it's clear why: a satisfying gameplay loop, blistering music, endearing characters, and more. Hear about our thoughts on the narrative style, the gameplay choices...and Rick's bad David Bowie impression. All of this and more - we hope you enjoy!

"Judge me not by my head, but by the deliciousness of the soup inside!"

This week, Rick is joined by Alex from Low 5 Gaming to talk all about Devolver Digital's indie hit, Death's Door! Part Zelda-like, part Souls-like, Death's Door takes the concept of mortality and tasks players with reaping souls as their job. No, really - it's like a 9 to 5! There's so much that is special about this game, and we really hope that you enjoy listening to this episode. We sure had fun talking about it!
