Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded this week, but Kevin & John still have all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it!
Kevin kicks things off with a little bit of a retro recap of a handful of things that he's been playing since rigging up a new "gaming setup" in his kitchen — including a few Dreamcast games he recently dusted off & an update on Metroid Fusion, after finally spending some legitimate time with the game.
After that, John closes us out with a conversation about indie sequels, and also gives his first impressions on two of the most highly-anticipated indie releases in recent memory — Hollow Knight: Silksong & Hades II.

As always, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a quick recap of some of the games he's been digging into lately — including a couple of neo retro indie gems, along with some first impressions on a few later games in the Mega Man & Mega Man X series.
John & Randall join the conversation after that, as we dig into a handful of other gaming goodies — including semi-forgotten Nintendo DS games (and the Rumble Pak), SNES Drunk videos, the comeback of the Virtual Boy, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the full crew in the house once again & we're chock-full of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get things rolling!
Randall kicks things off with his first impressions on the latest kart racing endeavor from Sega in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
After that, John takes us on a  couple of (mis)adventures in outer space, as he tries to satiate the corporate greed machine in Deep Rock Galactic & Hardspace: Shipbreaker.
Finally, Kevin wraps things up with a trio of NES games available via the Nintendo Switch Online service.

As always, Kevin kicks things off with a quick update on a few of his recent snags at one of his go-to local game shops — and also gives a quick shoutout to Blaster Master Zero, which he plans to save for an episode of the podcast proper.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we proceed to hearing their first impressions (on fairly opposite ends of the spectrum) on the recently released Hollow Knight: Silksong, along with a few other video gaming goodies to round things out for the week.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back to full strength this week and we've got all sorts of video gaming goodies to dig into, so let's get things rolling...
Kevin gets things started off with his first impressions of ANIMAL WELL, after getting a chance to check it out over at our buddy DJ's place (from the early days of the podcast).
After that, he shares some quick thoughts on Chibi-Robo!, which was recently added to the GameCube selection of games available via the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass.
Randall keeps us in GameCube territory after that, and gives us an update on his time with the original Luigi's Mansion, after recently polishing it off with his daughter.
Finally, John closes us out with a quadruple threat of townbuilding games that he's been bouncing between on his Steam Deck.

Kevin kicks things off with a quick spotlight on a couple of UFO 50 games that he's been playing, following by a shoutout to a couple of his favorite indie developers, sirmilkman & sarn of Team Bugulon.
Randall & John jump into the conversation after that, as we veer into all sorts of various gaming territory — including retro game collecting, modern remasters & remakes, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded for the first time in quite a while, with only Kevin & John in the house today — but we've still got plenty of gaming goodies to discuss, so lets get right into it...
We get things started off with a recap of our various gaming sessions, after heading to the mountains of Tennessee for a recent bachelor party — including Snipperclips, Killer Queen Black, and Halo 2 on the original Xbox.
After that, John talks a little more Halo after digging into The Master Chief Collection, before moving onto some Splatoon 3 to close things out for the evening.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
As always, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a few games that he's been playing (and recording YouTube videos for) over the past week or so — including a couple of "guest games" from PUNKCAKE Délicieux, along with the demo for a highly-anticipated upcoming neo retro indie from Yacht Club Games.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into a variety of other gaming goodies — including digging out the semi-forgotten Ouya console, reminiscing about WiiWare games & the original virtual console, a little podcast episode coordinating, and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got everyone in the house once again, along with a few games/topics to dive a little deeper into this week, so let's get things rolling!
Randall & Kevin get things started off with a little more Sega action — carrying the momentum over from our last proper episode — after checking out the demo for the upcoming Shinobi: Art of Vengeance "reboot."
After that, they also pair up for a little UFO 50 talk, after it was recently shadow dropped on Nintendo Switch during the most recent Indie World presentation.
Finally, John wraps things up with a little NieR: Replicant action — and spins off into a conversation about fishing mechanics in various games over the years.

Sorry we're a day late this week, but Kevin's 2009 iMac (which he's been using for editing the podcast since day one) finally gasped its last breath over the weekend...
After a quick update, Kevin gives a shoutout to Bye-Bye BoxBoy! (and the entire series), after polishing it off while travelling last weekend.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into all sorts of video gaming goodies — including a little roguelike/roguelite chit chat, Donkey Kong Bananza (and more Nintendo Switch 2) first impressions, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the entire crew in the house once again, and a whole bunch of video gaming chit chat to get into, so let's get things rolling!
Randall & Kevin gets things started off with a whole bunch of shoot 'em up action, after Randall dusts off his copy of Cannon Spike & convinces Kevin to dig out the Dreamcast.
John keeps things in Sega territory after that, as we get into all things Sonic the Hedgehog, spanning the entire history of the franchise.

Kevin gets things started off with a quick round-up of a bunch of the games that he's been playing lately — including a couple of gems he's been checking out for the first time on his little ol' laptop, along with a few games he's been revisiting on Switch.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, and we get into a whole bunch of various gaming goodies — including the changes made to Super Mario 3D World on Switch, Wii U exclusives & physical copies, Sega Genesis games developed by Treasure Co., and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the entire crew in the house once again this week, and all sorts of video games to discuss, so let's get right into the action!
John kicks things off with a dive into some of the PS2 era games from Nippon Ichi Software, with a primary focus on the Disgaea series & other games of a similar ilk.
After that, Kevin digs out his New 3DS once again and dives into Metroid: Samus Returns, which he is hopeful to see through (but knows deep down that it's unlikely).
Finally, Randall wraps things up with a smatter of games that he's been bouncing between lately — the original Luigi's Mansion on GameCube, along with a trio of games he's still been chipping away at.

Kevin tries his best to keep the intro on the short & sweet side, but still winds up rattling off a handful of games that he's been digging into — and even teases a couple of games that we plan to discuss on future episodes of the podcast.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, and we are truly all over the map this week — including reliving the early days of "next gen" gaming, various Wii U exclusives, quick Cuphead & Tetris Effect updates, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Everyone's back in the house once again this week and we've all been doing plenty of gaming lately, so let's get rolling!
Kevin gets things started off with a little Lonely Mountains: Downhill action, and is having a much smoother experience on Nintendo's new console.
After that, Randall digs into his resolution game for this year, after getting some quality time in with Yakuza 0, which he's also playing on his Switch 2.
John picks things up from there, and has a wonderful time poking around & making music in the adorable ODDADA.
And finally, Kevin closes things out with Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines — the sequel to one of his favorite indie platformers in recent memory.
