Ep. 124: Raise Hell, Praise Dale

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 14:55:54 GMT

What a way to start off the year, a whole bunch of basically nothing in January and then bam a whole bunch of stuff in February. Between the load of games that are challenging us here at the Hunting Pixels crew to forget our backlog and a load of announcements for coming showcases, we got news that Microsoft was planning on taking Xbox games multi-platform. This was potentially huge news and so Dylan and I sat down to talk about it for just a little bit a discuss what we think this potentially means for the future of the industry.

Ep. 122: 2023 Game Of The Year Day 3: The Predictions Show

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 09:00:00 GMT

Every year, it gets this time of year and everyone starts putting out their game of the year nominees and winners and we’re no different. However, in the interest of giving you smaller more digestible episodes we’ve decided that it’s more beneficial to break those things up, and as such we’re going to have separate shows for separate things. This week’s episode will be all about next year. That’s right, we’re already looking forward to next year. This will be our annual tradition going forward. The basic premise is that we’re doing a predictions show which we will tally up every year and the winner will be the king/queen of the podcast for the year. Each Person has come up with 5 personal predictions that we will all either say yes or no to and then tally those points when this episode arrives again next year. There will be one ultimate prediction worth 10 points to those who get it right but minus 15 if they get it wrong. So with all that out of the way, Let’s get into it!

Ep. 121: 2023 Game Of The Year Day 2: GAME OF THE YEAR

Sat, 27 Jan 2024 09:00:00 GMT

So We are here! It has come to this. Hunting Pixels is ready to get to you, the listener, our Game Of The Year! That said, We need to go ahead and explain our system and the ground rules. First, we’re using the system that was completely ripped off from Giant Bomb and Let’s Fight A Boss and we will be listing the games that we’ve played and then cutting them one by one until we get to our ultimate winner, the Hunting Pixels Game Of The Fucking Year!!! Now, to qualify for our list, the game had to have been released in a 1.0 release state after December 15th 2022 and before December 16th of 2023. Other than that, any game was fair play.

Ep. 120: 2023 Game Of The Year Day 1: Categories Show

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 09:00:00 GMT

Every year, it gets this time of year and everyone starts putting out their game of the year nominees and winners and we’re no different. However, in the interest of giving you smaller more digestible episodes we’ve decided that it’s more beneficial to break those things up, and as such we’re going to have separate shows for separate things. This week’s episode will be in service of the various awards that we’ve decided to give out that aren’t Game Of The Year. This includes a multitude of elements including Best Character, Best Music, and Biggest Shit Show. To be nominated for any of our given categories the games or events must have happened between December 16th of 2023 and December 15th of 2023. So without further ado, let’s get right into it!

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 08:00:00 GMT

Games are a unique medium in that the control is given to the observer. Within this structure, systems and mechanics must be built in order to offer control to the player. As such games must constantly innovate or introduce outright new systems and mechanics at a regular pace. That also sometimes means that good mechanics get left behind. That's what we want to discuss with the topic. What mechanics of old should have stuck around or should, in the modern age, make a come back.

Episode 103: Indie Games, Schmindie Games

Mon, 29 May 2023 22:27:11 GMT

The year, until relatively recently, has been a little light on the massive AAA releases that everyone clamors for and has mostly been held down by a ton of little indie titles. While there were some big titles sprinkled through the first 5 months of the year, They have been few and far in between. That got us thinking, with AAA games having their time to shine, when do Indie games really get any? There seems to always be heaps of praise on games like Resident Evil 4 Remake and The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom and when Game Of The Year comes around they’ll undoubtedly be sitting at the tops of most people’s lists. This is unfortunate for several reasons, namely because indie games can very often be better and more innovative than the big titles that win the awards. Hell we gave Elden Ring our nod last year (which we fully stand behind by the way), but our top 10 featured the likes of Immortality, Citizen Sleeper, Neon White, Stray, and Cult Of The Lamb. So We thought a great way to answer that question would be to talk about why Indie games are getting their moment in the sun right now and where they can go and maybe even what indie games are going to enter our lists at GOTY this year.

Ep. 101: Hungry Boys Say Bye

Mon, 08 May 2023 15:05:48 GMT

Similar to movies, Video Games often get blasted into the mainstream and achieve massive success. Other times they enter with a whimper and die out before anyone has had a chance to know what they're about. There is, however, a third, and often compelling, option. Some games come out with little fan fare and eventually grow a following. This can be seen in the Dark Souls series, many of the Suda51 creations, and Rockstar's Table Tennis. So what makes these games so beloved by those that play them and why did they never achieve the mainstream success that some believe they deserved?

Media Discussed:

Evil Dead Rise
Super Mario Bros Movie

Resident Evil 4

Special Ep. 020: Revisiting Our Favorite Games Of All Time

Mon, 01 May 2023 08:00:00 GMT

With some hindsight, we should have done this for episode 100, but we're idiots. As you can tell by the title of this episode, we did some recollecting. That's right, we went back to where it all began and we decided to look at our individual favorite games ever made again. That meant looking at our very first episode and taking a look at everything we've ever played to get to our top 10s. Some familiar names pop up and some out of left field entries pop up as well, but it's a fun ride the entire way through.

Ep. 090: 2022 Game Of The Year Day 3: Game Of The Year

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 09:00:00 GMT

So We are here! It has come to this. Hunting Pixels is ready to get to you, the listener, our Game Of The Year! That said, We need to go ahead and explain our system and the ground rules. First, we’re using the system that was completely ripped off from Giant Bomb and Let’s Fight A Boss and we will be listing the games that we’ve played and then cutting them one by one until we get to our ultimate winner, the Hunting Pixels Game Of The Fucking Year!!! Now, to qualify for our list, the game had to have been released in a 1.0 release state after December 15th 2021 and before December 16th of this year. So games such as Grounded and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion are completely acceptable for this list, but games such as Phasmophobia and Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon are not. Other than that, any game was fair play.

Every year, it gets this time of year and everyone starts putting out their game of the year nominees and winners and we’re no different. However, in the interest of giving you smaller more digestible episodes we’ve decided that it’s more beneficial to break those things up, and as such we’re going to have separate shows for separate things. This week’s episode will be all about next year. That’s right, we’re already looking forward to next year. This will be our annual tradition going forward. The basic premise is that we’re doing a predictions show which we will tally up every year and the winner will be the king/queen of the podcast for the year. Each Person has come up with 5 personal predictions that we will all either say yes or no to and then tally those points when this episode arrives again next year. There will be one ultimate prediction worth 10 points to those who get it right but minus 15 if they get it wrong. On top of that, Dylan has giving us our 2023 podcast challenge! We're in for a wild ride!

Ep. 084: The Dark Side Of The Internet

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 09:00:00 GMT

Video Games do a ton of things really great. They tell great stories. They give us power fantasies. They give us incredible music. And they also give us unforgettable images. Part of that is due to the incredible place that graphics have come to, but even more importantly, the art design. Art Design is one of those aspects of games that gets overlooked in video games and while we have talked about it before, we haven’t really gotten into games that have incredible art direction and that’s what we’re going to do today!

Special Ep. 018: Where Oh Where Has My Playstation Gone

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 09:00:00 GMT

We did Xbox and now, we're tackling Playstation! While Sony has been the dominant leader in the console space for roughly the last five to six years, in recent memory, they have seemingly fumbled the ball repeatedly. There has been consistent mishandling of messaging, bungling of price points, and a seeming general lack of creativity coming from the Sony owned company. So what happened? Where are we sitting now? And possibly, most importantly, where is Sony headed in the near future? On this very special episode of the Hunting Pixels, I and special guests, Justin Ruiss and Shea Layton answer those very questions and more.

Video Games can encompass a ton of incredible elements. We've talked about them before in detail as well. We've talked about video game characters, we've talked about gameplay mechanics, we've talked about visual styles, we've even talked about music. In there's is something that we've only glanced off of and that is worlds. Video game worlds are often just as important as all of the other elements and there are plethora of great ones. So it is with that in mind that we wanted to think about the video game worlds that we love and which ones we would live in.

Ep. 079: Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Something that has become increasingly frequent in the entire entertainment industry is remaking classics from the medium. Hollywood has been doing this for years and it has increasingly stepped into the gaming world. Recent games such as Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Demon’s Souls have been the figureheads in this trend and it doesn’t look to be going anywhere. And, of course, we all have a game in mind that we'd love to see return, but that begs the question... how? Does Metal Gear Solid deserve a Resident Evil 2 style from the ground-up remake or am I just wanting to play it with updated visuals? What really is the purpose of a remake and a remaster, and possibly, more importantly, what exactly do we want from the two?

Media Discussed:

The console wars are dead. We all know this, but social media seems to not. Everywhere online there seem to be pockets of fanboys who are often throwing shade or outright vitriol at a console that they do not call their own. So why is this? The plan here is to take a look at why the console war sort of discourse has reared its ugly head again and what we can do as the global gaming community to nip it in the bud once and for all.

Ep. 074: No More Horny

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 08:00:00 GMT

In the spirit of debauchery and just down right fun, we decided that it was time to do a topic that we've been sitting on for over a month. That's right, you know it and you love it. VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS!!!!! Now, you might be thinking to yourself, "you've already talked about video game characters a lot, what makes this any different?" And the truth is that you're right. BUT! Here's the thing, we've never talked about how sexy video game characters can be. Nor have we ranked them based ON their sex appeal. So that's exactly what we did this episode! We also talked a little bit about what we've done and what we've played, but mostly we got all bricked up over video game characters for your entertainment! So sit back and relax and get your horny on because this episode is full of it!

Ep. 066: A Whole Bunch Of C U Next Times

Mon, 30 May 2022 08:00:00 GMT

This year has seen a ton of triple A releases that have dominated sales charts and come to define the year in gaming thus far. What has been missing, however, has been the top tier indie games that have been seen in years past. This year has, of course, HAD indie games with things like Trek To Yomi, Nobody Saves The World, and Weird West getting attention from press outlets and Nintendo having its indie showcase just over 2 weeks ago. However, just last year, by this point we had Cyber Shadow, Olija, Habroxia 2, Anodyne 2, Loop Hero, Mundaun, Before Your Eyes, and that’s just a few of the indie games to have come out. So with the relative lack of quality titles this year and a relatively nice lull in triple A releases coming right now, we thought it would be the best time to talk about some of our favorite indie games so that you, fine listener, can maybe try theme during the relative slow period of gaming this year. This is also our patron voted topic for the month of May. Every month our patrons decide what one of our topics for the month will be and we make that happen. If you’re interested in being a part of the show in that manner then go over to patreon.com/culturebop and consider patronage so that you too can be part of our show and community. So without further ado, let’s get into it.

Ep. 064: A Whole Bunch Of Tired Boys

Mon, 09 May 2022 08:00:00 GMT

It seems like every other day there’s news of a new video game company being bought by a gigantic corporation to stick in their portfolio of video game studios. This week brought us the news that Square Enix selling off three of its western-based development teams in, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, and Square Enix Montreal alongside all of their IP. Meaning that all of their teams and game franchises are gone with them. On top of this, these studios were sold to Embracer Group, a massive holding conglomerate based out of Sweden. While there are no apparent ties to gross political groupings as is the case with Tencent, the Embracer Group has over 124 gaming studios in its portfolio, with over 14,000 employees. This may not be as dangerous as a sell to the likes of Tencent, there still are worries to be had. And that is what we plan to discuss for you today!

Ep. 062: The Sexiest Episode

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Something that has cropped up recently in the land of video games is adaptations of those video games. While said adaptations were all the rage in the late 90s and early to mid-2000s, with the likes of Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and Doom receiving lots of attention. Then there was a seeming crash, but in the last couple of years, we've seen a sort of revival in that sphere of media with the likes of Uncharted, League Of Legends, Resident Evil, and Mortal Kombat all receiving adaptations in film or tv. So what we thought we would do for this episode is pitch our own adaptations of video game properties! So strap in because we've got some places to go!

Media Discussed:

Ambulance
Chainsaw Man
Community
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once

Video Games Discussed:

Ep. 059: Futbol Americano

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 08:00:00 GMT

We’ve been doing these little battle royale type episodes for the last couple of weeks and this week we wanted to do one more before we sort of turned away from that for a while. This week we decided it would be fun to do something similar to a Deadliest Warrior episode where we pit a bunch of characters against one another and see who comes out on top based on nothing more than their literal powers and prowess in battle. Something of a Super Hunting Pixels Bros if you will. On top of that, Josh has got some thoughts on The Batman and we will regale you with the picks of the week!

Media Discussed:

The Batman
Dress Up Darling
Attack On Titan
The Tragedy Of Macbeth

Video Games Discussed:

Elden Ring

Picks Of The Week:

Josh: (6) PITCH BLACK: Revisiting Vin Diesel’s Terrifying Monster Movie - YouTube

Bosses. We’ve fought them. Here are some favorites.

We’ve all brought some of our favorite and most memorable boss fights with us and we rank all of them! On top of that we've got a couple of animated films to talk about and we dive pretty deep into our feelings on Elden Ring! All of that and more!

Ep. 055: The Sad Boy Philosophical Blues

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 09:00:00 GMT

Every now and again an argument seems to arise between staunch defenders of video games as a medium and the high-class snobbery that is the rest of the art world. That debate being whether or not video games are considered art. One thing that I think all of us at Hunting Pixels definitely agree with is that Video Games are art. So when we get into the real meat of the argument it seems to come down to what video games provide. Most people who disagree with the idea of video games as art point to games such as Super Mario for their lack of artistic expression and pure entertainment value. While we can argue about that at some other juncture, there is one thing that argument leaves out and that is the wealth of video games that have told and are telling, impactful stories based on moral, philosophical, political, and down right human stories. And it is thanks to Austin, that we come to discuss some of them for you today and potentially as a recurring topic in the future. What we plan to do, for your listening pleasure, is to discuss one game a piece and break down the more articulate points of its story and design and determine where it sits with us today!

Alongside that we talk all about the media that we have consumed, the games we’ve played, and of course, our regularly scheduled, picks of the week!

Media Discussed:

The Oscar Nominations

Even more acquisition news comes from up on the mound this week and with the boys busy with real life stuff, it seemed best to forego a regular episode to instead get in another special episode where we can discuss the news of the moment. So that's what we did and we hope you enjoy.

Special Ep. 010: It Takes Zynga

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 09:00:00 GMT

This week was a whirlwind of things happening around the Culture Bop world and as such we weren't able to get out a regularly scheduled episode, BUT that didn't, of course, mean there wasn't something to talk about. Enter one Justin Ruiss, who some of you might now as the persona non grata of Culture Bop. He came to me with the idea to do a special on the acquisition of Zynga by Take Two and how it affects both parties, but more importantly, how it might affect gaming as a whole. So give it a listen because it's a pretty good time!

Ep. 051: The 2021 Golden Pixel Awards, Day Three

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 09:00:00 GMT

So We are here! It has come to this. Hunting Pixels is ready to get to you, the listener, our Game Of The Year! That said, We need to go ahead and explain our system and the ground rules. First, we’re using the system that was completely ripped off from Giant Bomb and Let’s Fight A Boss and we will be listing the games that we’ve played and then cutting them one by one until we get to our ultimate winner, the Hunting Pixels Game Of The Fucking Year!!! Now, to qualify for our list, the game had to have been released in a 1.0 release state after December 15th 2020 and before December 16th of this year. So games such as Griftlands and Chernobylite are completely acceptable for this list, but games such as Haven and Yakuza Like A Dragon are not. Other than that, any game was fair play.

On top of that we crown our first ever King/Queen of the show by determining the winner of last year's predictions show as well as give our final update to the 2022 challenge. It's all here!

Ep. 045: P Juice And Chicken

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 09:00:00 GMT

Gaming has grown in significant ways since its inception in the 70s. There have been vast changes to the way systems are handled. There have been changes to hardware that have allowed for more robust music and visuals. There has been the integration of story and character to video games. For all of those changes, there has been one thing that hasn’t changed and that is art design. Art design has always and will always be an integral part to the way games are made. So what we wanted to do for you today, kind listener, is sort of take a look back at the differences between old school pixel art versus the more modern looking polygonal age and talk about both and what makes them special and maybe even fight about which art design is better.

Media Discussed:

Last Night In Soho
The French Dispatch
Demon Slayer Manga

Ep. 044: If You Like This Episode You're An Idiot

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 08:00:00 GMT

There has been talk, including on this very program, that 2021 has not had games. I would wholeheartedly disagree on that front. We’ve had a ton of games and a ton of them have been quite good. I would even go so far as to say that some of them would be shoe-in for game of the year even in years like 2017 which is an outrageous amount of great games. But this year has also had some games that wouldn’t nearly make a top 10 list for some people but are fun little diamonds in the rough. I think I talked about one little gem just last week in Trigger Witch and am currently playing another. That got us thinking however, what are some uncut gems from yesteryear and so that listeners is what we plan to discuss for you today.

Media Discussed:

Halloween Kills
Freddy Vs. Jason
A Nightmare On Elm Street
It (2017)

Video Games Discussed:

Unmetal
God Of War
Death Loop

Picks Of The Week:

Josh: WHY I LOVE TENET: Make It Make Sense - YouTube
Austin: HAWK - Tolerance’s Paradox EP
Dylan: Kraven's Last Hunt

Ep. 042: When The Austin's Away

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 08:00:00 GMT

As is clearly evidenced here on this very show by our opening segment, We like more than just video games. I am the big movie guy, especially horror movies as this episode has no doubt spelled out for you. The anime king himself, Austin, is not here with us today, but if you haven’t gathered his love of anime from this show then maybe you haven’t payed enough attention to the show. Finally we have Dylan who loves nature and fishing and nothing else. Which is total untrue, because he is also a fan of certain media, especially Star Wars and The Shining. So am I telling you all this? Well it’s because, as we’ve talked about seemingly a lot over the last year, Gaming and other forms of media have been cross pollinating for a while now. So we thought it might be fun to take a look at some of our favorite properties and see if they could work as games. And that dear friends is what we plan to do for you today!

Media Discussed:

- Malignant

- Caveat

- Censor

Video Games Discussed:

- Dead By Daylight

- Persona 5 Royale

Ep. 041: Going Hard In The Taint

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 08:00:00 GMT

All stories no matter the medium have patterns set within them. Joseph Campbell’s 1949 book, The Hero With A Thousand Faces, showcased just how universal storytelling is. In fact, the entire Star Wars saga is based, in part, on the teachings of that book. So what does that all entail? Well, mostly, the book detailed a sort of structure that had been apparent in storytelling for centuries, one often referred to as the Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey is an extremely useful tool in realizing what can work within a given story. With that all said, the hero’s journey doesn’t work without a hero. Well what makes a hero? Or better yet, what makes a protagonist? And even better yet, what makes a compelling VIDEO GAME protagonist?

On top of that, the boys discuss some more wrestling, a couple of movies including my descent into the Evangelion Rebuild movies. We’ll also be discussing even more Persona thanks to Austin convincing Dylan to become a weeb. Then of course we have our regularly scheduled picks of the week.

Media Discussed:

Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed
Evangelion 2.22: You Can (NOT) Advance
Manifest
AEW All Out
Death Note

Video Games Discussed:

Persona 4 Golden
Persona 5

Picks of the Week:

Josh: Ryan Hollinger’s video on The Lost Boys Why THE LOST BOYS Has a Special Place in 80s Horror - YouTube

Austin: Turning Point 9/11 (1) Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube

Ep. 040: Making Friends And Talking News

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Gamescom happened this week and with it we got a bunch of news and so we thought it would be a great time to do a news episode and talk about all of the stuff that happened at Gamescom as well as some other news that we’ve been simmering on for a while. On top of that Josh got to some media this week and the boys got in some games.

Ep. 039: Media Depression Blues

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 08:00:00 GMT

During the last several months there has been a weird little rabbit hole of the internet that I have been traveling down. The hole in question involves an unknown dutch developer known as Blue Box Game Studios and a project known as Abandoned. And as we discussed last week the internet did what the internet does and the entire thing began to morph and become something that it was never intended to be. Or at least from the outset. As we dove deeper and deeper into the entire Blue Box Conspiracy, one thing became abundantly clear and that is that there was a complete mismanagement of expectations. Part of that was on the devs in question and part of that was on us as fans of the medium.

On top of that topic of the show, we're going to be talking about some wrestling news, Mental and Physical Health, and what we've been playing over the last week. It's a fun episode full of twists and turns!

Ep. 038: Sssssssssnake Noise

Mon, 23 Aug 2021 08:00:00 GMT

During the last several months there has been a weird little rabbit hole of the internet that I have been traveling down. The hole in question involves an unknown dutch developer known as Blue Box Game Studios and a project known as Abandoned. Enter… well, the internet… and what started as a video game trailer appearing on youtube warped and became something much bigger. The prevailing theory of this was that this was another ARG type marketing gimmick for the next Hideo Kojima game and that brought me down a different rabbit hole and to the topic of the show. So strap in because we’re about to do a deep dive into ARGs.

On top of that we’re going to be talking about couple of really really excellent movies in Sound Of Metal and Evangelion. We’ll have some thoughts about some games as well with The Wild At Heart, Splitgate, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake!

Ep. 037: Blood, Guts, and Shenanigans

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 08:00:00 GMT

On one of our previous episodes, we did something that was a little bit of fun where we sat down and crafted our own stable of studios from which we would create our own fictitious game publishing company. And on another episode we sort of crafted our own horror game from story to mechanics and then laid that out for everyone as a sort of Halloween present. Recently in our discord, one, Justin Ruiss posed an idea that sort of melded those two ideas together but with a twist. We all love music and are constantly talking about it, so why not throw in the addition of having a musical artist provide the music for our fictitious game. So that dear listeners is what we plan to do for you today!

On top of this, There is also talk about some big name movies that currently playing in the theaters with Josh giving his thoughts on The Green Knight and The Suicide Squad, there are several games talked about including more Ratchet and Clank now that Dylan has a PS5, as well as what has become Austin's regularly scheduled Persona talk. And we wrap it all up with our picks of the week. All of this and so much more!

Media Discussed:

The Green Knight

The Lady And The Dale

The Undertaker: The Last Ride

The Suicide Squad

Games Discussed:

PS5 impressions

Ep. 035: Absolute Degeneracy

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Everyone has opinions. “Opinions are like assholes”, goes the famous quote. That said, some opinions are seen as controversial and by some people even flat out wrong. And today, we’re going to be expressing some of those opinions for your entertainment. As a full disclaimer, this topic is meant in good fun. We’re in no way saying that your opposing views may be wrong, more so that this is just how we all feel.

The other things we talk about this episode are cool as well. Josh finished up the Fear Street trilogy and has some thoughts about that! He also got out to the theaters again this week to see A Quiet Place part 2. Then there are some games to talk about. Austin continues his descent into Persona land. Dylan played a cute Cat game called... Cat Quest. Oh and we have some picks of the week! So strap in because it's one heckuva ride.

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Well it's been a year and we didn't kill each other. Jokes aside, it was one year to the day one week ago that we sat down to record our very first episode of the show and we wanted to reminisce and talk about the year that we've had and potentially what's to come! We also sit and talk about a bunch of horror movies, some anime, and of course games. On top of all of that we have our picks of the week and the Patreon Shoutouts!

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 08:00:00 GMT

As of today, our recording date, The year has just hit the halfway point and while we have several topics that we would love to get into, we thought it might be best to do a quick check in on what’s going on in the world of gaming. So we’ll cover several topics here, what we’ve thought of the year thus far, our reactions to some of the biggest stories in gaming, how we think the rest of the year will play out, and, of course, we’ll take a look at our current GOTY contenders as well as where we currently sit in our quest to each complete 20 new games throughout the year. On top of this, there's talk of some movies, Ratchet And Clank Rift Apart, and of course our regularly scheduled picks of the week.

Ep. 032: Bulgy Wulgy

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 08:00:00 GMT

We’ve talked about games from the past many a time on this here podcast and it’s because we really love the games that we either grew up with or were formative experiences in our tastes. We’ve talked about our favorite games of all time and we’ve talked about games that we want to see return or even get remade. But what about games that are perfect as they are, but we want more? Well listeners, we’ve decided that that’s what we want to talk to you about today and we’re going to talk about games that we’d like to get sequels to and why.

We also discuss some more movies. Josh has been at it again with the hot takes. We'll also discuss what we've been playing including Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart. And of course, we'll get out our regularly scheduled picks of the week!

Special Ep. 05: While The Josh Is Away... The Boys Will Talk About Pokemon

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 08:00:00 GMT

With Josh gone on vacation for the first time in forever, Dylan and Austin sat down to do a special episode all about their favorite topic, Pokemon. Over the course of two hours they sat and ranked their favorite pokemon games from least to most favorite and pontificated on what makes Pokemon such a great series.

Ep. 030: When You Give A Podcast Technical Issues...

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 08:00:00 GMT

As everyone who has listened to this podcast will note, I am a pretentious film kid that loves TV and Film more than almost anything. Somewhere near the top of that list is video games. I’ve had arguments before, and I’m sure we’re about to have them again, about how storytelling between the two mediums differ. While I’m not the only one who feels this way, the two mediums draw from one another over and over. And the biggest way that this is done is adaptations. Now video games have adapted movies since the earliest eras of the artform, but game to movie adaptations have been a relatively new phenomenon. In more recent years, more and more games have been receiving the adaptation treatment and we’ve decided we want to tackle that subject for you today.

On top of this, The boys talk about A Promising Young Woman, How much moving sucks, and whether or not Austin has a Digimon problem. All of that and so much more.

Special Ep. 04: What's Eating Gilbeezy?

Mon, 17 May 2021 16:46:17 GMT

As of late, Xbox has been the media darling in terms of PR. They've been saying the rights things and doing the right things. Their main competitor in Sony Has been... Less so. But even with Sony being some sort of PR Disaster and Nintendo continuing to march to the beat of their own drum, you have to wonder, what state is Xbox really in? They have 23 studios without a whiff of a first party exclusive coming any time soon. They are rocking with Game Pass, but is that enough for long term dominance in the console space? What about their work with outside publishers? Just what the heck is going on with Xbox?!? Well that's what Josh and special guest hosts Gilbeezy Kitchens and Justin Ruiss are here to discuss with you today! So strap in, because it's one heck of a good discussion!

Ep. 028: The Horniest Episode

Mon, 10 May 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Video games are known for a lot of different reasons. There’s the interactive storytelling. There’s gorgeous computer rendered graphics. There’s the various systems that coalesce into a fun gameplay loop. But perhaps the thing that has arguably defined video games in pop culture more than any other aspect has been a little thing called the Boss. Bosses and Boss battles are one of, if not, the most recognizable phrases in all of pop culture. When you say the phrase boss battle, people inherently know what you’re talking about. It has become ubiquitous, but still bosses are something somewhat unique to games. So today, we’re gonna deep dive into video game bosses. Where did they come from? What makes a good boss? And possibly the most important question of all, what are some of our favorite bosses?

On top of this topic of the show, Austin and Josh have watched Mortal Kombat and have some thoughts about that. Dylan has embraced his inner weeb and dived back head first into the Kingdom Hearts series. And, of course, we have some media we want to share with you in our picks of the week. All of that and more!!!

Ep. 027: The Unofficial Microsoft Bing Podcast

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Remakes have been around for quite a while at this point. Whether it be developers and publishers trying to extract as much money as humanly possible from their product or a move to gauge interest in possible sequels or reboots, Video Game remakes have remained in vogue for quite some time. Most of these are ports or upresed remasters, but every now and then something comes along that makes you think, huh maybe this could be a cool move. Take for example the studio Blue Point. Blue Point is a porting studio known for their excellent quality ports and more recently remakes. With the critical and commercial reception of their PS5 remake of Demon’s Souls being a sticking point, many fans of the souls/borne games began to wonder if the series could be taken over by Blue Point. That has triggered the topic for this show. There are many a dormant property for publishers to dust off and give new life to and we want to talk about those properties and which talented studios deserve to get shots at them. And that dear listeners is what we will now discuss for you.

On top of that topic of the show, We're joined by special guest host Gilbert "Gilbeezy" Kitchens AND We've got some exciting news about the future of Culture Bop and Hunting Pixels. We'll also be diving into some opinions on Falcon And The Winter Soldier and Digimon Adventure Reboot. Josh is having some trouble playing Habroxia 2 and ... . And Dylan is now 5G enabled! All of that and more on this jam packed episode.

Ep. 026: Ass Lemonade

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 02:58:12 GMT

It is absolutely no secret to anyone that listens to this show that we love a good Role Playing Game. Whether it be Austin’s gushing over Pokemon, my continued support of Final Fantasy, or even Dylan’s consistent love of The Witcher, it’s very clear that we care a lot about the genre. But one thing we have yet to do is dive deep into why that is. Why do we love the genre? What makes it so special? What even makes a good RPG a good RPG? Well, strap in folks because that’s what we plan to discuss for you today.

On top of the RPG talk, Josh has a couple of great games to talk about, Austin continues his long descent into the land of Gundam, and Dylan ponders the meaning of life and more.

Ep. 025: I Can't Read... Still...

Fri, 16 Apr 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Videogames are an ever-evolving medium and we’re constantly finding new ways to play. Whether it be new streaming techs like Amazon Luna and Google Stadia or Virtual Reality coming from the likes of Valve’s HTC headsets or Sony’s Playstation VR. On top of that, there are constant innovations in tech that bring the scope of what video games can do into a massive new world. At the forefront of these conversations in recent years has been Microsoft’s Xbox brand. With the Xbox One X being a powerhouse at the time of Launch, the Series X being the most powerful console ever created, and the adaptive controller giving disabled people the ability to play games, Microsoft has been pushing tech into new frontiers. Even with all of that said, possibly Microsoft’s biggest innovation has been Game Pass, its Netflix-style gaming library. The subscription service has taken the world by storm, amassing a gigantic subscriber base in just a handful of years, and the recent acquisitions such as Outriders and MLB The Show, it is only getting bigger. With it becoming a hugely popular service, Game Pass is making leaps towards changing the video game industry forever and that’s what we plan to talk about for you today.

Special Ep. 03: Nintendon't

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 17:51:00 GMT

One thing is probably clear to anyone who listens to our podcast, Austin is the Nintendo guy. Josh loves his switch to death and is very nostalgic for the NES and SNES era of Nintendo, but he is not as ingratiated into that community as really either Austin or Dylan is. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t pay attention and as such, he has some thoughts about where Nintendo is sitting currently in comparison to the other two giants of the industry, Xbox and Playstation. That said, to keep him in line and to get a more unbiased look at the company and how it is currently sitting, he brought in Austin and Barry Carenza of NintendoFuse in order to really get into the weeds on where Nintendo currently stands and what may be on the horizon.

Ep. 024: Pancaking

Sat, 10 Apr 2021 23:58:51 GMT

Music is as integral to gaming as it is to any other form of visual media out there. Without music, you couldn’t have the same feeling of intensity in the boss battles of The Witcher 3. Nor could you have the feeling of adrenaline pumping vigorously through your veins as when the chase music hits in Metal Gear Solid. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you couldn’t have the same feeling of immense sadness as you would when Sniper Wolf tells her life’s story at the end of her boss fight or the death of Aerith is Final Fantasy 7. And as Austin said in his intro on the special episode, it’s a little bit sad that music is often overlooked in favor of narrative or gameplay and so today, we’re going to talk about our favorite video game soundtracks.

Special Ep. 02: Everyone's Horny Now

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 04:11:08 GMT

Video games are such a wonderful medium for storytelling. They combine tons of variations on different mediums. They can entice with their visual splendor. They can evoke emotions through incredible narratives. They can even give you the tactile feeling of overcoming an obstacle. There is one part of gaming, however, that is often overlooked and that is the music. While it needs to be stated, that isn't true in every single instance, when you go to tell someone about a video game, music will not usually be the first or second thing that you talk about. So today, Austin and special guest Johnny McLain, of the Atlanta metalcore group Ghosts Of Evergreen, talk about music in gaming. What can music do for a game and even some of their picks for favorite game soundtracks ever.

Ep. 023: Good Night Sweet Prince

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Video Game Preservation is a topic that at one point became a big issue of discussion for most gamers. In the lead up to the more modern age of gaming old games made for old hardware were often lost if the rights holders didn't make sure to preserve them. This led to many games being lost to time forever. In the dawning of the new digital age of gaming, that question persists with perhaps an even renewed vigor. What happens to our games if it's just a digital copy? The recent rumor of Sony shuttering the digital stores for the PS3, PSP, and PS Vita has only gone on to spark even more discussion about the preservation of games.

Alongside that topic of the show, Josh got his hands on a PS5 and has some thoughts on the system as well as a few games that he's been playing on there. Austin rewatched FLCL for the first time since high school and has some thoughts on it and Dylan... Well, he's still Dylan. All of that and more on a jam-packed episode of Hunting Pixels.

Ep. 022: Sugar And Waffles

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Have you ever had an experience so impactful that you’ve never forgotten? Some people will remember their first kiss with the most vivid clarity that it’s like they’re reading from a book. Others may remember a really awful break up. These experiences strike right to our core and we remember them forever. Media can also do that. Many of us can recount the very first time that we saw our favorite movie of all time. Some will remember the concert that was “like a religious experience”. And for some of us, that moment comes from video games. So strap in guys, it’s time for us to get back to our buzzfeed listicle roots and we’re going to talk to you today about the moments in gaming that have stuck with us, not only to this day, but may stick with us forever.

On top of this, the boys have some media to discuss with Josh giving his thoughts on the 1984 classic A Nightmare On Elm Street and the Netflix original, I Care A Lot. Austin has been watching even more anime. And there's game talk as well. Lots of Dark Souls 3 talk and Zelda. Who knew?

Ep. 021: The One Where The Boys Go Live

Fri, 12 Mar 2021 20:00:05 GMT

This week was a weird one for the boys as they decided to do something a bit different and live stream the show. Well how do you integrate the entire capabilities of livestreaming with a podcast about a designated topic? Easy, you just talk about the News. This week the boys break down rumors about the Nintendo Super Switch, the dissolution of Sony Japan Studio, and Marvel's Avengers XP restructure. All of that and so very much more.

Ep. 020: Dogs Barkin' And Bitches Squakin'

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 21:05:35 GMT

They did it. They finally did it. The good ole peoples at Gamefreak and Nintendo gave us our first Pokemon Direct since January of last year and our first direct with information on mainline entry games since February of 2019 when Pokemon Sword and Shield were first announced and they blew the event out with some pretty big announcements. The direct was a gigantic boon for some long-time fans of the series and was a slight disappointment for others. With that all said, there was no denying that this was a much bigger and better showing for Switch fans than the Nintendo Direct of just two weeks ago and we have some thoughts about it.

In addition to this Josh has watched some television and has some thoughts about that. Dylan has turned from getting hit in Spyro 3 to getting hurt in Hollow Knight. Austin has weirdly no anime to talk about! All of that and more.

Special Ep. 01: Dr. Shealove, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Play The Game

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 22:48:00 GMT

As many, if not all, of the listeners, are aware, I try my best to keep our show as politics-free as I possibly can. The main reason for this is that I genuinely believe in bringing as many people together as I can because I think the world is a better place when we can all come together to converse and share our individual experiences and passions together. That said, there has been a news story percolating within the last couple of weeks that has gotten me thinking. The news story in question was the recent announcement of the reemergence of the once canceled game, Six Days In Fallujah. The game was originally mired in controversy in 2009 and subsequently lost its publishing deal with Konami and was canceled soon after. Its reemergence has only caused more controversy. The entire news story surrounding this game has led me to think more about what we expect from our games and their politics as well as what we are willing to accept and what we are willing to censor.

To do that, I have brought in my two guest hosts, the Sword Chomp Elite, Shea Layton and Rich Meister, to talk about just this subject for you today. We dive deep on our thoughts on Six Days In Fallujah. We consider what politics in gaming even means and whether or not gaming needs them. And of course we talk a little bit about censorship and that entire quagmire. All of that and more on this very special edition of Hunting Pixels.

Ep. 019: All About Assholes

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 09:00:00 GMT

Difficulty in games is a topic that has been discussed pretty much ad nauseum for a good long while at this point. We can look back to the days of NES Classics such as Megaman and Castlevania for their punishing difficulty, or we can take a look at more modern games such as the From Software IP/Souls series of games. But what happens when that just isn’t enough? What if you want more? Certain games will offer this in the form of higher difficulty offerings and others add it as gameplay modifiers, but sometimes even that just isn’t good enough? Insert the challenge community of gamers. This group sets out to challenge themselves in a number of ways whether it be setting a new world record for beating the game in the fastest time or by beating the game without taking any hits from enemies. The challenge running community has become a mainstay in modern gaming and we would like to discuss them and all their great efforts here for you today!

Also in this episode, Josh talks about some movies as he is want to do. He talks about Freaky and Lars And The Real Girl. Austin not only talks about anime shows, but he also talks about anime video games. Dylan continues his descent on the small town of Twitch town. We also talk about some Daft Punk and the Nintendo direct. All of that and so much more.

Ep. 018: Mobile Suit Baymax

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 09:00:00 GMT

Innovation. It’s a term that’s tossed around an awful lot and despite it having a tangible definition, it is often far more nebulous in conversation. What do we actually mean when we say innovation, and even having said that, what are the parameters that we place upon that definition. Is The Last Of Us Part 2 the most innovative game of all time because it’s minute attention to detail with every single animation being painstakingly detailed? Or is Hades and innovative masterpiece because of all the tweaks it made to a genre thus spinning it on it’s head? What about Final Fantasy IV that invented an entirely new way of enhancing turn based RPGs? Innovation is something that is rarely ever discussed in any detail, but it’s exactly what we plan to do for you today, so strap in and let’s get ready for some philosophical rambling!

On top of that I have an anime to talk about that Austin hasn’t seen. Dylan has a broken memory. Austin, would you guess it, watched more anime. And, of course, we talk games, such as Spyro, Gundam Breaker 3, and The Medium. All of that and more.

Ep. 017: Zero Preparation

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 05:32:25 GMT

We had several topics ideas that we were tossing around this week, some of which I think we’ll get to in the near future, but one kept sticking in my head. Dylan has asked me repeatedly what my sort of “gimmick” will be for twitch and I think I’ve figured it out. That will be PS1 games. That has gotten me in the headspace of retro games and when Austin came forth with the topic of this particular show, well, how could I not resist. So what pray-tell is the subject of conversation this week? Well, we’ve decided to come together and talk to you about games that we love that we believe need remakes/remasters/rereleases.

Also in this episode, we talk about Wonder Woman 1984, Wandavision, and Locke And Key (Guess who's talking about all of these). Also Dylan is now a Twitch Affiliate and he gets to talk about how awesome that is. Austin has some thoughts on more Gundam properties. And of course, we talk about what we've been playing, including Josh's preliminary thoughts on The Medium. ALL in a jam packed episode for your entertainment.

Ep. 016: Blood Sucking Demons

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 09:00:00 GMT

We’ve done a look back at our takes on the best games of 2020. We’ve done a look forward at the games we’re most anticipating. We also made a big predictions for this year. The last thing that we now need to do is take a look back at the last generation and that, kind listeners, is what we plan to do for you today. We aren’t going to rank these or argue or anything like that. No, instead, we just plan to celebrate what made the last generation great. We do have to set some ground rules first however. We decided that in order to be eligible for this list the games in question had to have been released between November 13th of 2013 and November 22nd of 2020. That’s it. What games do we pick? Well, we'll get to that.

Also in the episode, We’ve got some thoughts on Wandavision and Game Of Thrones. On top of that, Josh has dived head first into his first Civilization game since CIV Revolution on the 360, Austin played an unhealthy amount of persona, and Dylan gets to talk about finally completing his challenge run. All of that for your amusement.

Ep. 014: Hunting Pixels' GOTY 2020 - The Golden Pixel Awards Part Tres!

Fri, 01 Jan 2021 09:00:00 GMT

So We are here! It has come to this. Hunting Pixels is ready to get to you, the listener, our Game Of The Year! That said, We need to go ahead and explain our system and the ground rules. First, we’re using the system that was completely ripped off from Giant Bomb and Let’s Fight A Boss and we will be listing the games that we’ve played and then cutting them one by one until we get to our ultimate winner, the Hunting Pixels Game Of The Fucking Year!!! Now, to qualify for our list, the game had to have been released in a 1.0 release state after December 15th 2019 and before December 16th of this year. So games such as Hades are completely acceptable for this list, but games such as Telling Lies is not. Other than that, any game was fair play. The Fights are many and furious and there's a couple of shocking moments that you don't want to miss!!!

Ep. 013: The Golden Pixel Awards 2020 Edition Part Deaux (Also Dick Jokes)

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 09:00:00 GMT

This week’s episode will be all about next year. That’s right, we’re already looking forward to next year. This will be our annual tradition going forward. The basic premise is that we’re doing a predictions show which we will tally up every year and the winner will be the king/queen of the podcast for the year. Each Person has come up with 3 personal predictions that we will all either say yes or no to and then tally those points when this episode arrives again next year. There will be one ultimate prediction worth 3 points to those who get it right but minus 5 if they get it wrong. It's quite the shit show as you've come to expect!

Ep. 011: Losing The Plot

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 03:13:07 GMT

Every genre of art seems to have its own sort of awards showcasing excellence within it’s given field. Music has The Grammys, the American Music Awards, and the Billboard Music Awards. Television has the Golden Globes and The Emmys. Hollywood and Film, in general, have a metric ton of awards with probably The Oscars, the Golden Globes, and The BAFTAs being the most well known. The biggest difference between those genres and video games, however, is that those awards garner prestige and as much as the DICE Awards are comparable to The Oscars or The Grammys for their respective genres. The thing is though, they’re not prestigious in the least in the eyes of gamers. Enter Geoff Keighley. Keighley began becoming a household name during his run on G4 and eventually becoming the host of the Spike Game Awards. Keighley, however, thought the awards should be as prestigious as The Oscars and would break off to develop his own awards show for video games, simply titled, The Game Awards. Now, in its 7th year, The Game Awards has become many things to many gamers, and that is in essence what we want to talk about for you today.

On top of all of that, Josh has some thoughts on The Queen's Gambit and the first two Friday The 13th films. Austin regales us with anime talk when he discusses Attack On Titan and Demon Slayer. Both of the boys played more Ghost Of Tsushima and they discuss that as well as a couple of gundam games and Josh's first impressions with Yakuza: Like A Dragon.

Ep. 010: Untitled Gooch Game

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 01:25:03 GMT

Every year, around this time, it never fails that people crawl out of their beds after a long day of eating turkey, and go out to do holiday shopping. Whether or not this is an ideal thing is not really debatable because people do it regardless. So we’ve decided, in the spirit of being as obnoxious as possible we would feed into the horrible reality that is Black Friday. So we’re going to run through the sales for video games and give our feedback and hopefully give you something to think about for the holidays. On top of this, Austin has been getting his Spider-Man on in multiple ways, while Josh has been delving deep into True Crime.

Ep. 09: The Broken Arms Boy

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:00:00 GMT

This week's show wonderful and somewhat unorthodox. With Austin out this week, it's just Josh and Dylan bringing it home. We’re going to talk a little bit about the new and current generation because Josh managed to get his hands on an Xbox Series X. We’ll also get into some new games like Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War, the longest video game title ever. We also talk about a little game called Ikenfell, that people are really sleeping on. We’re also going to talk about the stuff we’ve been doing like watching Class Action Park and taking Day Trips. It’s a fun show!!!

Ep. 08: Empathy Time Is Over

Sat, 07 Nov 2020 00:08:46 GMT

Due to some technical issues that were out of our control (Josh was without power for a full four days due to the hurricane), we didn’t really get a chance really pontificate on a weekly topic this week the way that we usually would and so we’ve decided to forego that topic and just go really in-depth with what we’ve been doing, what we’ve been playing, and some rather disheartening news for many gamers. Josh talks about a bunch of Friday The 13th Content. Austin tells us about Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. Dylan has finally tackled Hades and will have some thoughts as well.

Ep. 07: Going Primal

Fri, 30 Oct 2020 08:00:00 GMT

As listeners may already know, Josh is a massive horror fan. I mean, all he's been talking about for the past couple of episodes is the horror movies he's been watching. That said, Dylan also has an affinity for some horror-based video games such as Resident Evil, and Austin also tends to like horror as a genre. So with Halloween literally right upon us, we thought it would be fun for us to do something a little different for this episode and keep it themed around horror. Today we’re going to pitch our very own horror games to one another. We’ve planned it all out. We’re going to talk about the narratives, the characters, the game mechanics, all of it. All for your entertainment.

On top of that, we’re going to talk a little bit more about some horror films that Josh has been watching. Dylan and Austin have been working on some new content and they’ll talk about that. We’ll also talk about what we’ve been playing and give you something to take a look at with our picks of the week.

Happy Halloween!

Ep. 06: Digimon Incest

Fri, 23 Oct 2020 05:00:00 GMT

2018 was a gigantic year for games. Between the heavy hitting stories of Red Dead Redemption 2 and God Of War, the narrative front was covered. There were also two gigantic collectathon checklist games in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Far Cry 5. Indie games flourished with wonderful little titles like Dead Cells and Celeste being amongst big triple AAA titles for Game Of The Year. That’s not even mentioning the really fantastic Tetris Effect, the addictive madness of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, or the impeccable looking racer Forza Horizon 4. All of these were fantastic games, but for me personally, there was one game that just hit different that year and it was Insomniac’s open world super hero title, Marvel’s Spider-Man. With our third chair out this week, and with Spider-Man Miles Morales right around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to do a little bit of a deep dive on the 2018 classic and so that is what we plan to do for you today.

We also give our thoughts on some more horror films, almost definitely some talk about Breath Of The Wild 2 or whatever obscure anime game that Austin is playing this week, AND we give our pick of the weeks! We’re also going to discuss some Dead By Daylight news. All of that and more on a jam packed episode of Hunting Pixels.

Ep. 05: Toaster Bath

Fri, 16 Oct 2020 05:00:00 GMT

Video games have not always featured stories. When we go back and look at the very first games in the arcade and on home computers, stories were an afterthought if they were even thought of at all. Eventually Stories would worm their way into arcade games in primitive form and with the advent of the home console market, stories began becoming more and more integrated into game development. Eventually they would become the norm especially with the rise in popularity of the RPG genre. It does seem, however, that in recent memory, stories have become slightly less in favor with the general populous. Games such as Fortnite and other battle royale type games, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and Among Us have taken the world by storm. Twitch, the world’s premier video game streaming site, seemingly pushes these titles as well. It is becoming increasingly more obvious that single player narrative based games are being slowly phased from public consciousness and that’s what we intend to talk about today.

In this episode the boys also talk about some anime in the form of Pokemon Journeys and Digimon Last Evolution. Josh brings us up to date on a couple of horror films he has watched as part of his month long horror movie bonanza, as well as his preliminary thoughts on The Haunting Of Bly Manor. Austin gushes just a little about Persona 5 Royal and Dylan talks about how much fun he's having going through Pokemon Shield again! There's also the boy's picks of the week as well as some exciting podcast updates!

Ep. 04: The Unofficial Playstation Vita Podcast

Sat, 03 Oct 2020 00:44:29 GMT

Company acquisitions aren’t new to any business, let alone the gaming industry. The recent news, which we will get into later, of Microsoft’s purchase of Zenimax media was gigantic. Not only, did they garner alot of attention, they also managed to gain additional value for their netflix style gaming service, Game Pass, AND bolstered their first party teams. It’s this part that we found probably the most intriguing game room of the acquisition and got us thinking about a ton of things, including what other studios could be bought by the big three. Another thing that Josh talked about with the guys was something along the lines of what our dream first party line up of studios would be. That eventually spun into our topic of today’s show. As some of you know, Josh is a big NFL guy and a massive packers fan. So He proposed the idea of doing something similar to an NFL draft where we take turns picking studios until we have a solid portfolio of 7 studios a piece. So with that said, let the war begin!

Alongside all of this, the boys talk about the roll out of the PS5 and it's preorders. Josh is just a little bit incensed. They also talk about the gigantic news of Microsoft buying Bethesda. There's a little bit of contention in this discussion. The boys also go over, their thoughts on the 3DS and it's official cancellation as well as whether the Vita is a better console and boy does it get heated. Is American Horror Story Asylum still good? Dylan gives us his thoughts, while Austin talks about preparing for his heart to be crushed by the FINAL Digimon Adventure movie. There's some talk of a month long horror movie fest that Josh plans to embark upon and the boys change things up for their pick of the week and all give some musical recommendations! All that and so much more!!!

Ep. 03: A Bee's Butt Juice Pt. 2

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 12:56:37 GMT

One of the great things about gaming is its ability to connect with us on some level, whether that be narrative, gameplay mechanics, music, art design, or any other number of factors. One particular way has been through the use of characters. From Mario to Link to Commander Shepard to Geralt Of Rivia, characters are some of the most well known aspects of gaming. So we decided to talk about that today, but with a fun little twist. As a sort of nod to the recently announced Mario 35 and perhaps a look at how we plan to do our game of the year discussion episodes, we decided to talk about our favorite characters in gaming and then count them down in a fight to the death. Who will win our coveted spot as number one video game character, we’re about to find out!

Part 2 of this 2 part episode is dedicated to fighting our characters, picked in the last episode, to the death and picking Hunting Pixel's number one video game character of all time. On top of that we've got some gigantic news to go through. Microsoft finally revealed the price, release date, and pre-order date for the next gen Xbox systems. Ubisoft had another showcase and announced a remake of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time. Nintendo had a showcase for Mario's 35th anniversary and it was wonderful. On top of that the boys talk about that little game called The Avengers, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remake, and Overwatch. This episode is packed full!

Ep. 02: Incriminating Evidence

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 20:32:01 GMT

The Console Wars as we know them have quietly deteriorated since the initial console war of the early 90s between the likes of the powerhouse Nintendo and the brash newcomer Sega. The following generation saw a new competitor enter the fray with Sony and their mega successful console, the Playstation. The following generation saw the end of Sega and brought another new competitor in Microsoft’s Xbox, and then came the mega successful generation where all three titans of the industry did incredibly well. Last generation, this seemed to flame out with Nintendo going in a completely new and different direction with their mega successful hybrid console, The Switch, and with Playstation jumping out to and holding an enormous lead over it’s chief rival in Microsoft. For many, the console wars remain unabated with fanboys being diametrically opposed to another team. However, for another sect, the console wars have died out. With a new console generation on the horizon, we are here to talk about the next generation of consoles and whether the “war” between the consoles is still here or whether it has gasped it’s last breaths.

Also in this episode, Josh talks about Relic, a fantastic little Australian horror film. Austin regales us with some Pokemon talk, and the boys discuss some news topics. Is Titanfall coming back? According to EA conference call, possibly. Splinter Cell isn't coming back as a video game it would seem, but it's still got life as an animated series. All this and more on this episode of Hunting Pixels.

Ep. 01: A Wild Sea-Foodie Appears

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 22:37:05 GMT

Review Scores have been around in gaming for a very long time, going as far back as the trade magazine Play Meter. While these reviews weren’t exactly the same as you would see in modern gaming publications, the DNA was there. The entire reviewing process would evolve over time and eventually get to where it is today with a variety of outlets having different interpretations of what reviews are, with some even doing away with the standard review score. Recently, gaming journalism and the entire reviewing process has come under fire with movements such as the early days of GamerGate taking issue with journalistic malpractice and more recently, the entire controversy over The Last Of Us Part 2’s review scores. This has led many to question whether or not reviews and their related scores are in fact even necessary. The boys dive deep on this topic.

Alongside that discussion, what's going on with Ubisoft? Despite having a huge showing with its Ubisoft Play event, the news was overshadowed by a awful string of allegations of sexual misconduct and an eventual firing of three massive figureheads. What We Do In The Shadows is a movie from 2015 and a currently running FX show and Josh has watched them, what are his thoughts? And what makes fishing a second job? We also delve deep into The Last Of Us Part 2, what do we think? Find out all this and more on this episode of Hunting Pixels.

Spoilers for The Last Of Us Part 2 begin at 1:26:23 and end at 1:32:40.
