Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back to full strength once again this week, and we've all been doing a whole bunch of video gaming since we all sat down together, so let's get right into it...
We kick things off with a discussion on a trio of games from the wonderful Team Ladybug — a studio that has continued to perfect their craft of both bullet hell shmups & metroidvanias (with another brand new game on its way)!
Randall takes the torch from there, and gushes about his time spent with Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, after ripping through the game with his wife (and itching to fire it up again!)
Finally, Kevin wraps things up with LocoRoco: Remastered, which he's been playing quite a bit of after recently dusting off his PS4 again.

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 some of the games that he's been firing up lately — this week, digging into a handful of goodies on his Nintendo Switch.
John joins the conversation after that, as we graze on all sorts of various gaming topics — including a few PlayStation exclusives, control scheme muscle memory, re-imaginings versus faithful remakes, and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're limping into the new year shorthanded without Randall this week, but we've still got plenty of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it!
Kevin kicks things off with a trio of games that he's been enjoying on his Nintendo Switch lately — including an incredibly fun & fluid 2.5D platformer & a couple of fantastic pixel art, bullet hell shmups.
It's all things Bethesda RPGs after that, as John revisits (and in some cases, boots up for the first time) a handful of classic games from the AAA giant!

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 typical trio back in the house once again, and a whole bunch of video gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it!
John gets things started off with his thoughts on Loddlenaut, as he ignores the adorable Axolotls and still manages to see the credits roll.
Randall picks up the torch from there, as he continues to dump A TON of time into SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash on both his Analogue AND Neo Geo Pockets.
Finally, Kevin wraps things up with his thoughts on the latest Kingdom: Two Crowns DLC, Call of Olympus, after seeing the credits roll while our old pal DJ was in town for the weekend.
