Pixels & Ink

With 2022 coming to a close, Brendan, Dayna, Chris and Jordan look back on the year sharing their favourite games, films, and shows, as well as a look back at some of the biggest headlines in gaming and tech. Heading into 2023, the team shares their hopes for the year with thoughts of E3 and some major game releases like Final Fantasy XVI on the way.

This week Brendan, Dayna, Eduard and Jordan chat about their favourite announcements from The Game Awards and touch on a few of the major winners from the event. With the year coming to a close, the cast is joined by Chris to talk about their personal criteria for Game of the Year and who they believe should hold the title of GOTY 2022.

On this week's Pixels & Ink podcast, the CGM crew talks all things Game Awards, giving a taste of all the categories and what deserves to walk away the winners.

This week on Pixels & Ink, Brendan, Chris, Dayna and eventually Eduard talks about God of War Ragnarök and if it lives up to the hype. Waiting on The Game Awards nominees, the cast discusses their picks and predictions while chatting about games they have loved this year, like Marvel Snap, Cult of the Lamb and more.

With Elon Musk now the new owner of Twitter, the Pixels & Ink crew sit down to discuss what this means going forward. But things don't stop there, with the cast discussing the latest in the Helena Taylor situation, the newest Call of Duty drama, and since Halloween is now over, it was time for a catch-up.

On this very spooky edition of Pixes and Ink, the crew is joined by Cody Orme, as they dive into all the exciting news and events of the week. This was a big week for Horror, as both Silent Hill and Resident Evil have streams showing off all the new things coming two both iconic franchises.

Things don't stop there, though, with the Bayonetta 3 voice over situation still raging on, with a back-and-forth between Hellena Taylor and the studio. It is unclear what the real truth of everything going on is, but the Pixels and Ink team are here to break down the facts the best way they can.

New York Comic Con is almost here, and that means trailers of everything you can imagine, along with a few bonus ones just for fun. The Pixels and Ink crew dive into the trailers for Super Mario Bros. Movie, Wakanda Forever, Velma, The Mayfair Witches and more. With Overwatch 2 now out in the wild, the crew also dives into the launch, the review and how the game is looking now that people are playing. 

On this week's Pixels and Ink Podcast, the crew explore Stadia shutting down, Game delays and how they change expectations, and the latest series of trailers for the new series and movies that are sure to excite gaming and comic fans everywhere. 

It is a big week for leaks, with Diablo IV and GTA 6 videos appearing online. With this the CGMagzine crew dissect what these leaks mean, how the games are looking and what this means for development. This leads to a bigger discussion about embargoes, how some creators try and break agreements, and how there has been a major series of events that makes many people in the industry question how insider information really gets out to the public. 

While there may be plenty of leaks, Twitch.TV is making waves this week with the new rules about gambling, and a mix-up in how it shares revenue on the platform. Moving away from a more favourable split, into a 50/50 model that has many bigger creators very upset. 

To wrap things up for the week, the crew look at all the new peripherals that are coming out, and how they at times can cost more than the consoles or the games they are meant to work with. From $1000+ racing wheels, to high-end controllers, it is an interesting time to invest in gaming. 

With the fall now here, TIFF is back, and so are the many movies that come to the festival. With Brendan and Dayna both on site for the festival, they join the cast to discuss the best and brightest that people should look out for. They also discuss how some films they walked in excited about managed to let them down in different ways.

But TIFF did not dominate the news this week, with both PlayStation's State of Play, and the Nintendo Direct releasing a range of news that should excite gamers everywhere. From news about Golden Eye making its way to modern consoles, to the details about God of War Ragnarök, this is a cast you won't want to miss if you are excited for all the new games coming this fall.
