Pixels and Polygons

Welcome to Pixels and Polygons, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is a conversational podcast hosted by Darren Hupke. It features a rotating cast of guests each week and captures a conversation on a set gaming topic. Each episode starts with an introduction of the guest and an icebreaker; then, we answer a single gaming question. Short and sweet! It’s the perfect “podcast-between-podcasts!” This week’s topic is…

What is an average game (or below) that you love that doesn’t get enough attention?

My guest this week is:

KaL from the HG101 Top 47,858 Games of All Time podcast! KaL is one of the regular hosts, and you can listen to him weekly. You can find it wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Like, subscribe, and give him a follow on BlueSky!

Tell us one of your “console” stories. When you got it, what games did you have, what memories, special moments, etc.?

My guest this week is:

Just me! This is a solo episode, so get ready to listen to me and only me talk about games. Exciting. The audio quality has a weird, faint static to it here, as well. Sorry.
