Side B of our 3 sided launch extravaganza includes talk of level 100 carrots, MMO failures and bitching about 3D, micro transactions and everything in between
In the second part of our PixlTalk 2.0 launch series, Nate hosts with Matt R, Stanton and Jason H sitting in for a talk concerning modern gaming.
Nate and Stanton talk Portal 2, Rock Band's top songs, PSN Security and Dragon Ball Z. Nate also mangles metaphors and analogies while Stanton has an Epiphany.
Nate and Stanton hold the fort down this week. First on the agenda is a conversation about Portal 2 and the 'Potato Sack'. Indie developers were given unprecedented full use of Valve IP that will hopefully set a standard for future projects across the industry.
Space Marines don't have prejudice. They kill everyone equally.
TimeGate studios decided to release Section 8: Prejudice, their sequel to Section 8, as a downloadable game instead of a full retail offering and it feels like a wise choice.
Nick, Nate, Stanton, and Jason Ross discuss games that need to take the jump into 3D.
The second half of Episode 25 starts off a little off-topic, but soon enough, the discussion meanders to games PixlBit staff would enjoy seeing on the 3DS or in 3D. While the most notable franchise, Ice Climber, only gets a brief mention toward the end, several different franchises and individual games are given shout-outs and receive speculation.
Nick returns for this bold and daring episode of PixlTalk!
You read correctly! Nick, Stanton, Nate, and Jason Ross compose the cast of this week's PixlTalk, and discuss a wide range of industry ideas from the past week.
For some reason, the name of this half of the episode isn't as catchy as the original song.
After the bated breaths and maddening desire listeners experienced awaiting the conclusion of Episode 24, we finally have Side B! In this half of the podcast, the PixlTalk group discusses a wide variety of topics.
Stanton takes this week's hosting responsibilities as Nate Hascup and both Jasons join in for discussion.
This week's episode of PixlTalk comes in two parts. Catch "Side A" of the conversation today, and come back Monday for the next half, "Side B." This week begins with Stanton filling in as host for a driving Jason Ross. To begin, we recap everything from last week's podcast and hear some of Jason Hillhouse's viewpoints in key issues, as well as note changes from one week to the other in terms of incredible engines and seized European consoles.
Either shooters have gotten harder or I have gotten worse; my ego is going to go with the former.
Let’s get this out of the way: Hard Corps: Uprising by Arc System Works is hard -- unapologetically hard. All I could think every time I died was that they should have called it Impossible Corps, which made me think of that awful “This is not mission difficult” quote from Mission Impossible II which only made me angrier. To keep the story short, Arc owes me a new controller. Anyways...
Listen in as Nate and Jason... and Stanton(!) discuss various industry current events, from GDC to PS3s and everything in-between.
This week's episode of PixlTalk hails the return of a long-lost participant: Stanton Daries!
Freejack would have made a better video game.
I was very intrigued when I first read about Mindjack and jumped at a chance to review it. A sci-fi third person shooter where your main character has the ability to “hack” into anything that has a mind or computer, as well as the ability to jump into anybody else’s game seamlessly and either help or hinder them sounded like something that could be an amazing experience if executed correctly. It’s those ifs that always get you, though. Mindjack, while having a unique and intriguing premise, fails completely in its execution.
