Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
First things first...the first ever Pursuing Pixels Community Jam is officially under way!
After that, Kevin does his best to keep the intro short & sweet, as he quickly revisits a few things he's been playings — and in the process, totally forgets to mention that he & John also dive into his resolution game for this year, Return of the Obra Dinn.
After that, John rattles off a whole bunch of the games that he's been booting up on his Steam Deck lately — which ends up leading us into a number of other discussions!

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded again this week, but John & Kevin have been doing plenty of video gaming lately, so let's get right into the action!
Kevin kicks things off with his first impressions of UFO 50 — a massive collection of "retro" games made for a fictional console from the 1980s — from the developer of Spelunky and friends!
From there, John & Kevin take a little time to shine a spotlight on 20 Minutes Till Dawn, after both getting pretty sucked into this one.  Is 20 minutes the perfect length for a roguelike/roguelite run?!Kevin's also been absolutely hooked on another roguelike in Shogun Showdown, which has an incredible blend of puzzle solving, turn-based strategy, and deckbuilding RPG elements.
Finally, John wraps things up with his thoughts on EVERSPACE, as he continues his quest to find a modern day on-rails shooter that lives up to Star Fox 64.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Kevin gets the ball rolling with a handful of the goodies that he's been digging into lately — including some brief thoughts on the recently released UFO 50, along with a few other highlights!
John & Randall join the conversation after that, as we dig into all sorts of various topics — including RSS feeds in 2024, gaming magazines, our various collecting hobbies & habits, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Everyone's back in the house once again, and we've got a jam-packed episode this week, so let's get right into it...
John gets things started with some various Monster Hunter talk, as he (and everyone else) gears up for the upcoming release of Monster Hunter Wilds.
Randall picks things up from there with some thoughts on both entries in the Rogue Legacy series, now that he's had a chance to explore the improvements of the sequel.
Kevin's up next, as he gushes about the demo for the recently released (in the West) BAKERU from the one and only Good-Feel.
Finally, John wraps things up with Whisker Squadron: Survivor, as he continues his quest for modern day "3D on-rails shooters," akin to the classic Star Fox games.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Per usual, Kevin gets things rolling with a handful of the games that he's been firing up on Nintendo Switch lately, with a bit of an unintentional focus on arcade action this week!
After that, we're veering away from video game territory and diving into some music chit chat, for a little change of pace this week — Kevin & John have been on a bit of a vinyl & CD collecting kick lately (respectively), which ends up leading us discussing a number of various artists & topics...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got everyone in the house once again, and a whole slew of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get things rolling...
Kevin gets things started off with a duo of indie games that he recently scooped up on Nintendo Switch, HYPER METEOR and Heave Ho, that he's been thoroughly enjoying.
Randall picks things up from there with an update on his time with Balatro, where he has continued to polish off virtually every challenge the game has to throw at him!
Finally, John wraps things up with a few games that he's been revisiting on his Steam Deck — which spins off into a more general conversation about the different types of gamers that we all are.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the trio back in the house once again, and we've all been doing a TON of gaming since we last sat down for a chat, so let's get this party started!
John gets things started off with some nitty-gritty decision making in Disco Elysium, which was his resolution game from this year.
After that, Randall gets into some retro gaming goodies, as dives into Elevator Action Retruns: S-Tribute, and finally gets around to opening up his physical copy of Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell.
Finally, Kevin wraps things up with a couple of neo retro indie arcade gems, Goliath Depot & VIVIDLOPE, that have made it tougher than usual to put down his Nintendo Switch.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
As always, Kevin gets things started off with a handful of the games that he's been firing up lately — including checking out the Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy on Xbox Game Pass, getting hooked on 20 Minutes Till Dawn on Nintendo Switch, and some quick first impressions of Dadish 3D and Super Fowlst 2.
Randall jumps into the conversation after that, and we dive into all sorts of retro gaming goodies — kicking things off with a handful of retro arcade gems, import games & fan translations, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back in duo mode once again, but that never keeps us from diving into some video gaming goodies, so let's get right into the action...
Randall gets things started with another update on his time with Balatro, as he continues to plow through the games various decks & challenges.
After that, Kevin shares some first impressions on one of the latest games published by Annapurna Interactive, Flock, after checking it out on Xbox Game Pass.
From there, we both dig into Ganryu 2, a sequel to a Neo Geo game that neither of us knew existed until we stumbled across this modern day sequel.
Finally, Randall closes us out with some thoughts on Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! on Nintendo Switch, one of the latest releases in this long-running series of arcade puzzle action games.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Kevin gets things rolling this week with some first impressions on yet another batch of awesome indie games that he's recently snagged on Nintendo Switch — this time around, leaning into a whole bunch of neo retro arcade action!
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dig into a whole bunch of gaming goodies — this week, we're veering into quite a bit of tabletop gaming, as we talk a little more Fire Tower, along with other classic board & cards games, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the full crew back in the house once again and lots of video games to discuss, so let's get rolling...
John kicks things off with an update on (the) Gnorp Apologue, now that he's seen the credits roll.  After that, he gives us his first impressions on ULTRAKILL.
From there, Kevin dives into some first impressions of his own, after a couple of his favorite indie games in recent memory were ported to Nintendo Switch  — FROGUE and Gun Rounds.
Randall closes us out with an update on his time with Balatro, which he has been going absolutely berserk on since the last time we discussed it (for nearly an hour!).

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Kevin gets the ball rolling this week with a spotlight on a few awesome indies that he's had a chance to livestream recently — and one more that he's hoping to get around to streaming in the near future.
John jumps into the conversation after that, and we dive into all sorts of various topics of discussion — primarily getting into even more indie action, as we touch on a handful of games that both have & haven't come up on the podcast before.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded this week, with Randall out thanks to a super hectic schedule over the last few weeks — but Kevin & John are here to hold down the fort with all sorts of gaming goodies, per usual!
Kevin kicks things off with a bit of a deeper dive into Wildfrost, after spending quite a bit more time with this deckbuilding roguelike since he last brought it up on a recent Save it for the 'cast! episode.
John takes the opportunity to dive a little deeper into a couple of games that had the hooks in him the last time we got together — (the) Gnorp Apologue and Hexle.
And finally, Kevin wraps things up with some rare board game action, after having an incredible first time experience with Fire Tower.

As always, Kevin gets the ball rolling with some of the games that he's been digging into lately.  This week, he's giving a couple of pre-emptive updates on FROGUE & Gun Rounds,  both of which were recently ported to Nintendo Switch — we've already recorded an episode where Kevin gives his first impressions on the ports, and that'll be out in a few weeks!
Randall & John jump into the conversation after that, and we get into all sorts of gaming goodies — including Randall's latest pinball adventures, more of John's thoughts on the incredible Gravity Circuit, some rapid fire sale snags from Kevin, and much more...
