You damn kids with your rock music and your electronic doodads.

Grab the Metamucil and adjust your Depends, folks: PixlTalk is officially old! Your normal crew 2 Tri-Force (Julian, Rob, and Patrick) decide to celebrate the big 5-0 in style. How? By ranting like old men about the way gaming used to be, dammit! You'll learn that Julian does a terrible old man voice, but Patrick does an amazing one, balancing out the insanity of this episode. Before that, we talk about what we're playing now, with some discussion on Mass Effect 2, Skyward Sword, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Asura's Wrath. So sit back, crank up those hearing aids, put on your rose-tinted glasses, and enjoy!

Welcome to the second episode of PixlTalk Crew 2! Jason (of PB & Jason fame) sits in with the traditional trio of Julian, Rob, and Patrick. We discuss the maturing of story in video games, starting with the intriguing target footage of Rainbow Six: Patriots. That leads us into some debate over the merit of the Call of Duty series before things get really heated over Heavy Rain. Then we put on our silk robes and crank some Barry White as we discuss romance in games, with a focus on Half Life, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and...Zelda. Wait, what?
