  • Save it for the ’cast! — Issue #20

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

    This week, Kevin gets things started with a trio of games that he's been digging into lately, before Randall the show to extend the conversation from last week.

    We kick things off with a spotlight on Clockwork Kingdom, an incredibly stylish top-down exploration puzzler from our pal Jamie Rowan.  From there, we shine a spotlight on Super Star Duck, which is undoubtedly going to end up being a future PP Potpourri selection.  Finally, he gives a quick shoutout to Princess Farmer, a super cute & fresh take on the match-three puzzler genre!

  • 126: A Common Gripe From Us...

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're down to just two this week, but Kevin & Randall have a whole bunch of goodies to get into, so let's dig into it...

    Kevin gets things started with a few puzzle/strategy games that he's been absolutely hooked on lately — Shotgun King, Stacklands, and Crown of Pain — and enjoying from the comfort of his recliner!

    From there, we dive into some of the latest additions to the Nintendo Switch Online service, including the new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC tracks, and a whole bunch of Sega Genesis classics that are currently available on the platform.

    Finally, Kevin wraps things up with some thoughts on the Early Access release of Peglin, which is poised to be yet another classic pick-up-and-play roguelike!

  • Save it for the ’cast! — Issue #19

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

    As always, Kevin gets things started with a roundup of the stuff he's been digging into as of late, kicking things off with Revita, which just came out of Early Access.  And for a little more roguelike action, he also finally dove into Going Under, which has been sitting on his Nintendo Switch for ages now.

    After that, he gives a quick shoutout to Tanuki Sunset, which effortlessly combines raccoons & longboarding, alongside a healthy dose of new wave synth pop!

    From there, John & Randall join in on the conversation and we get into all sorts of basketball nonsense, including March Madness, NBA Playoffs, and much more...

  • 125: Elden Ring ’Remastered’

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we've got a trio of games to discuss that all share some very similar DNA, which leads to some super fun back-and-forth conversation, so let's get right into it...

    Kevin kicks things off with a spotlight on the Hori Split Pad Pro controller for the Nintendo Switch — which Randall has been raving about for years — before we dive into the Zelda-meets-'Soulslike' conversation!

    Kevin & John get things started by digging into by Tunic and Death's Door, and it's easy to see that each of these games draw heavy from both of the aforementioned series.  After that, Randall dives into a spoiler-free discussion on his time with Elden Ring so far, and we have a blast comparing & contrasting this trio of games and their influence(s).

  • Save it for the ’cast! — Issue #18

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

    This week, Kevin kicks things off with an update on the latest games that the folks at PUNKCAKE Délicieux have been continuing to crank out — including a spotlight to Shotgun King, their entry to Ludum Dare 50 — alongside a couple more quick shoutouts!

    Once we get into the chit chat, John kicks things off with some of his thoughts on the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Kevin digs a little deeper into Unpacking, and much more...

  • 124: Journalistic Excellence

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got an absolutely jam-packed episode this week, so let's get right into the video games!?!

    Kevin kicks things off with a couple of games that he's been absolutely loving lately — OlliOlli World + Dodgeball Academia — one of which is a potential contender for his ever-changing favorite game of all-time!

    From there, Randall digs into Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, a collection of two beat 'em up, retro-arcade 'classics' that don't get anywhere near enough love in modern times.

    Finally, we wrap things up with a deep dive into Dicey Dungeons, which all three of us have been playing lately — and was also John's resolution game for this year on our most recent holiday episode.

  • 123: Activate Pancake Mode

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the trio back together yet again, and all sorts of video game goodness to dive into, so let's go...

    Kevin kicks things off with some love for Shroomchitect, the latest release from the wonderfully prolific folks over at PUNKCAKE Délicieux.

    From there, Randall & Kevin spotlight a couple of recent gems they've been checking out on Xbox Game Pass, digging into the incredible experience that is Exo One, before giving a quick shoutout to Olija.

    Finally, we head on over to the retro realm to discuss a plethora of various controller adapters that Randall has scooped recently, alongside the Nintendo 64 classics that John has been playing on Nintendo Switch!

  • Save it for the ’cast! — Issue #16

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

    This week, Kevin kicks things off with a couple of games from Wired Dreams Studio, including a spotlight on their upcoming roguelike, Undergrave.

    He also takes a little time to highlight the Bundle for Ukraine on itchio, which has already raised nearly $5 million...and there's still four days left to go!?!  He's been absolutely loving the highly acclaimed ZeroRanger so far, which is just one of nearly 1,000 items included in the bundle!

  • 122: The Biggest Lush We Know

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the usual trio back together this week and we've got all sorts of video game goodness to dig into, so let's get right into it...

    Kevin kicks things off with a brief discussion about a handful of games that he and our pal Mikee kicked around a few weeks back, including classics like TowerFall, alongside classics-in-the-making like Samurai Gunn 2.

    From there, Randall & Kevin dive into the recently released Grapple Dog from Super Rare Originals, which we've both been absolutely loving—along with our thoughts on the demo for Rusted Moss, which also features a grappling hook!

    After that, Randall appears to have found his latest sports-simulation obsession, this time digging into Retro Bowl, which recently made its way over to the Nintendo Switch.

    Finally, John closes us out with his initial impressions on Pokémon Legends: Arceus, after swinging over Kevin's apartment for a quick livestream a few weeks back in an effort to talk him out of succumbing to his latest case of FOMO...
