Welcome to Pixels and Polygons. This is a conversational podcast centered around gaming, where my guests and I answer a question based on the episode topic. This week’s episode is…

WOW III w/ Rusty and Nicole

What is a “wow” moment you had with a game? What was it that impressed you?

Rusty is an artist and illustrator you can find online on bsky as @rustyshackles.bsky.social. You can also see him on hardcoregaming101.net, 1900hotdog.com, and 80s Mania Wrestling Returns.

Nicole is my wife and likes to garden.
