Unfortunately Jesse was unable to join us this week, but the show must go on. In his place PSTC welcomes Backloggers Anonymous host Angelo Grant and staff newcomer Justin Matkowski. Justin gets a chance to introduce himself to the community while the cast takes a look at a smorgasbord of topics including Nintendo’s recent actions, the insane success of EVO and summer gaming.

A great tragedy has befallen PixlBit.  Through the instability and craziness that is technology, all previous episodes of Push Start to Continue have been lost.  This calamity not only affects the denizens of PixlBit, but is considered a great loss to humanity as a whole.  We are all a little worse off because of it. 

But through this tragedy we must persevere, and Jesse and Mike are moving forward.  They may be back to ground zero, but sometimes starting over can be a good thing.  So take a listen to the new beginning of PStC – the Reboot Edition.

In this edition of Push Start to Continue the boys don’t spend any time at all talking about the newly announced Xbox One and Microsoft’s “One Device to Rule Them All!” market strategy…wait, that’s actually the opposite of what happens here.

So get to listening, and let us know what your thoughts on the upcoming generation are in the comments section below!

In this edition of Push Start to Continue Jesse talks a bit about the PixlBrew experiment and just a few impressions of his experience with BioShock: Infinite thus far.  And many games are discussed, like Star Fox 64 and its rumble pack, Soul Hackers, Professor Layton, Luigi’s Mansion and more!  And, of course, we couldn’t help but discuss how pizza delivery is better with Kinect.

This week’s episode of Push Start to Continue is all over the place.  Mike finally finishes a bunch of games over the weekend, Jesse succumbs and upgrades to the 3DS XL, they both share thoughts on the next Xbox, SquareEnix’s sales forecast folly, and that new Batman game.  Plus Mike gets all lovey on BioShock: Infinite (in a spoiler free fashion) and Jesse reveals his game of the generation.

All that and a bag of chips, just press that play button!

And at some point Jesse refers to an article he read about Spec Ops and Battlefield 4 on Kotaku.  Turns out he was completely wrong – it was on Destructoid.  Give it a gander, listen to Jesse’s thoughts and add your own in the comments section below!

In this exciting installment of PStC the guys talk about Lara's abrupt character arc in the new Tomb Raider, discuss evolving game review scores, and somehow end up on the subject of movies that made them cry as children.  Check the machismo at the door and prepare to get your cry on now, on Push Start to Continue.

And to our awesome community, if you have suggestions for topics for future episodes, let us know! If you want to hear about it, we want to deliver it!

And just because Jesse likes to see Mike cry, here's some emotional clips from Homeward Bound!

Alright, fair is fair.  Here's the scene from Land Before Time that made Jesse cry like a lost little girl....

There.  Now no one is happy anymore.

Holy crap! This has to be PStC’s most random episode yet!  We start off with some talk on Tomb Raider, Red Dead Assassins (or Assassins Creed 4), and Monday Night Combat – Segue into some Ninja Turtles talk – get serious with some talk on games in/as education – and then finish it off with some weird Sims social experimentation.

Curious about awesome hair physics?  Check out the below video that shows off the TressFx feature exclusive to the PC release of Tomb Raider.

They boys are back this week, and they mean business.  Jesse ruffles some feathers early by declaring Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch overhyped (but still good), before professing his undying love for all things Fire Emblem.  Then things get a bit ugly, as the boys prognosticate on the future of gaming, which may lead to some small amount of rage and depression.

No indie game spotlight this time around, but we promise it will return in our next installment.  If you have suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comments section below!

So the world didn't end.  Who'd a thunk it.  So let's celebrate with a special "Year in Review" episode of Push Start to Continue that sees the Hell Block Heroes reunite!  The guys guiltily admit how the Steam Winter Sale pilfered their wallets; Jesse explains away his Civilization V addiction; and the whole crew goes round and round on some of the best games and gaming moments of 2012.
