Does it hurt to be reborn?

Rick is joined once again by Dave (Tales from the Backlog) and Matt ("Fun" and Games) to conclude the narrative analysis of 1000xRESIST. The themes of the games begin to coalesce as the origins of the Occupants are revealed and secrets of the AllMother are discovered. Sisters must burn. We hope you enjoy!

We sinned. We sinned and we are still paying for it to this day.

This week, Rick is joined by Dave (Tales from the Backlog) and Matt ("Fun" and Games) for a critical analysis of 1000xRESIST, a work that blends the aesthetics of theatre, philosophy, and lived, human experiences into a striking package. Part I features a broad, non-spoiler discussion on big picture ideas, themes, and mechanics, and continues into an in-depth analysis of the narrative. There's so much to say about this game, and it was clear it needed to be fast-tracked onto the show. We hope you enjoy!

You ever rage quit over a strawberry?

This week, Rick is joined by friends of the show Matt ("Fun" and Games) and Josh (Still Loading) to dive into Celeste, a beloved indie game that burst onto the scene in 2018. Celeste is a beautiful mix of narrative and gameplay, marrying a story surrounding the human condition with some of the most engaging (and difficult!) platforming the three of us have seen in a long time. In the episode, we talk all about the impetus behind the creation of the game, the game's thematic identity, the soundtrack, and so much more. I'm proud of this one - do it up!

Who says hotels are just for The Shining?

In this week's episode, Ben and Rick traverse the Seaview Hotel in the relatively recent horror game "At Dead of Night." This is a shorter episode with plenty of opinions from both parties; in addition to the game's mechanics, tropes, and story, we talk about what makes a horror game good to us, trick or treating, and even go down some tangents about the Star Wars Sequels. Peek around the corner, check down the hallway, and give this a listen!

"My name is Susan Ashworth. I live alone in this old two-bedroom flat. I rarely go outside. Some would say it's a lonely life... I only trust in my cats these days, and I will miss them dearly... but they will understand, like they always have. Teacup stays with me 'till the end. He watches me, as if he knew... Because, early tonight, I swallowed a whole bunch of pills. Any second now, I will be dead. I've only got one thing to say now. Thanks for nothing... Goodbye."

This week on Pixel Project Radio, Ben and Rick kick off their month of Spooky Games in October with The Cat Lady! They talk about the atmosphere and world building, music, and some real fumbles the game makes. All in all a great play, and we (sort of) recommend it! Check it out!

“Despite everything, it's still you.”

Knowing that Ben and Rick will cover Undertale, in all of its narrative, gameplay, and quirks...it fills you with DETERMINATION. We both have a lot of affection for this game, so we are thrilled to bring it to our platform!

For many of us, it's ingrained in our memories: opening up our very first game, booting it up, and hearing the iconic music greet and embrace us for a very special journey to come. Whether it's Super Mario, the Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, or more, music has become not only ubiquitous but integral to the creation and enjoyment of video games. In this episode, Ben, Rick, and Vince read off some of YOUR responses to your favorite music, talk about our very favorites, discuss the merit of engaging with culture, and more. And as you might expect, we edited a LOT of good music into this one.

"I don't understand."
"We don't need to, it'll happen all the same."
"Why?"
"Because it does. Because it has. Because it will."

Welcome to another episode of Pixel Project Radio! This week, join Ben and Rick as they talked, talk, and will talk about Bioshock Infinite! The two boys feel pretty differently about this game as a whole, and a LOT of healthy discussion is had! We speak to the game's narrative, talk about some theming choices and why we believe they did or didn't work, and Arrested Development makes an appearance. Oh, and did we mention the music, as usual for the Bioshock series, is terrific? Lots to love about this one - check it out!

"A man chooses...a slave obeys."

Join Ben, Rick, and Vince as they venture somewhere beyond the sea to cover one of the most well regarded games of all time, Bioshock. A game steeped in the logical conclusion of a hyper-free market and capitalist dystopia, you play as Jack, a silent protagonist who is navigating the landscapes of Andrew Ryan's underwater city of Rapture. In the episode, we talk about the world building and lore, how the ideology of Objectivism shaped the narrative, and of course *that* scene. Listen to this episode, would you kindly?
