Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Kevin kicks things off this week with a few games that he's been playing on his PS4, after dusting off the console (again) in preparation for getting an early start on his resolution game for this year.

John & Randall join in on the conversation after that, as we stick around in PlayStation land for the majority of the discussion, along with a little retro gaming chit chat, as well.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Kevin frontloads the intro this week with a handful of video gaming goodies that he's been playing on Nintendo Switch lately — (mostly) switching gears from his recent physical copy obsession, and veering back into digital download territory!

After that, John & Randall join in on the conversation for a bit of a "hodge podge" discussion — as we share a little behind-the-scenes episode coordinating, while primarily hanging around in Nintendo territory.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got everyone in the house once again this week, and a whole slew of video gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get rolling!

Randall gets things started off with his thoughts on the recently released Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket on his shiny new mobile device.

After that, John & Kevin spend some time gushing about the incredibly slick & stylish arcade roguelike Swordship — followed by a handful of other arcade/puzzle gems they've been each been checking out independently.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Kevin kicks things off by rattling off a handful of physical Nintendo Switch games that he scooped up the other day.

He follows that up with a few indie gems he's been anticipating, that recently released on the same platform — along with a few games that he's actually been playing!

The rest of the gang joins the conversation after that, as we dive into all sorts of video gaming goodies — including even more recent physical Switch purchases (and actually opening them), our various gaming habits, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the entire crew in the house once again, and a whole bunch of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get things started!

John gets the ball rolling with with some more Monster Hunter talk, as he spends some time revisiting Generations Ultimate on Nintendo Switch.

Kevin picks up the ball from there, and gives his first impressions of Mario & Luigi: Brothership — the first game in the series to be released on consoles!

John closes things out with a couple of RPGs from yesteryear that he's been going back to — including Old School Runescape on his phone, and .hack//G.U. Last Recode on the Steam Deck.

Kevin gets the ball rolling with a short & sweet shout out to a few shoot 'em ups that he recently scooped up on Nintendo Switch in physical form.

John & Randall join in on the conversation after that, and we get into all sorts of video gaming goodies — including (but not limited to) a little pinball chit chat, controllers & control schemes, and Nintendo consoles of the past, present, and future.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the usual trio back in the house once again, along with a trio of video games to discuss, so let's get right into it!

We get things started of with some more 20 Minutes Till Dawn talk, as the game has gotten its hooks into Randall now, as well.

John takes the torch from there, and dives into some more Monster Hunter action, after finding a workaround to get Frontier up and running on his Steam Deck.

Finally, we wrap things up with a proper discussion of Return of the Obra Dinn, which was Kevin's resolution game for this year.

Randall keeps the retro theme rolling after that, as he discusses his recent trip to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, and spotlights a handful of his Sega snags.

John wraps things up with a few arcade-y indie games that he's been firing up on the ol' Steam Deck — including Genome Guardian, FLERP, and Whackerball.
