Pixel Pie Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode I meet and chat with Glenn from Pixel Crib, and Australian based globally shipping online store that focus's primarily on gaming soundtracks with the emphasis being on Vinyl LP and Compact Disc (CD).

Glenn tells how he went from collector to online vendor just wanting to share his fascination and love for gaming soundtracks with the wider public. From packaging on his kitchen table back in 2016 to now having a contractor collect his daily shipments from his business specific warehouse premises shipping all sorts of amazing and often rare and unique soundtrack merchandise both domestically and across the globe. We discuss the music the art and the just 'having' of this amazing media.

This episode I am super stoked to meet and chat with ‘Scruffy Lookin RGB’ of the same Youtube channel and Instagram. Scruffy has been living in Japan for most of his adult life. After a family visit at age 21 he realized that was where he wanted to be in the world and made it his goal to make residence in Japan and not long after discovered he has a liking for all things retro gaming. And being situated in a place some would call the motherland of retro gaming, Scruffy is on a constant hunt for games, consoles and overall retro junk to repair, restore and collect whilst sharing his hunts and finds via Youtube and Instagram.

Living the dream in the land of the rising sun.

This episode I chat with yet ANOTHER  Matt aka 'The Dpad dad' (Instagram). When I saw the words Dpad and Dad in Matt's Insta handle I had to catch up with him for a chat. Matt is a prime example of the chilled, creative and cruisy collector and modder that in my opinion, is the backbone of the Insta Gameboy community. Sure there's a lot of inovation and crazy genius modding going on, and there's plenty of breakthrough awesomeness being created, but without modders and collectors like Matt, the boots on the ground, doing the building and showing how the every day modder/collector can enjoy the hobby and really support the genius's in the community by demonstrating all said mods in action....well....to me...that is the community. It's the circle of life....Gameboy modding life that is.

This episode I chat with Mason aka 'Gameboys in the Wild' (Instagram). Mason is a casual Gameboy modder and very regular in my Insta feed with what I think is a bit of a genre defining if not at least 'refining' style of Gameboy photography...namely....Gameboys in the wild. Absolutley gorgous pics!!! Mason was born and bred in Arizona to where he will retrun with his family once he's completed his training as a dentist in Colorado. Its interesting to know what a Gameboy modder/collector does with their real life and why they are drawn to these dinky handheld gaming platforms. Mason and his partner have recently become parents and now are adjusting to a whole new level of time management, but Mason is one of those humans that just seems to always have a positive attitude and keeps his eyes on the big picture.....a really calming guy to talk to......and his Gameboy photography is very inspiring and pleasing to the eye.

This episode I chat with Matt from Jellybelly Customs. Jellybelly Customs is one of those outfits that from the outside appears to be a big complex multi personel machine, but in reality its just Matt, in his shed with his tools and kit, modding away and putting his skills to casting some very amazing buttons for Gameboys, buttons no extrusion machine can copy. Matt is one of those silent achievers that the Gameboy modding community has so many of and is full of experience and chat about doing it for yourself and sharing the creative overflow with others.

This episode I talk with Jonas, otherwise known as Retrogame.evo in the Gameboy Instagram community. Jonas is a super positive modder born and bred in Brazil but through his pursuit of academia found his way to Glasgow, Scotland where he now resides with his wife (and two cats). Jonas has an incredibly sunny outlook which definately comes through in his Instagram and has a very curious nature, always taking him a little further and further in to the Gameboy modding scene, as he adds more and more feathers to his cap.

This episode join me as I chat with Rob from R.A.W. Talent Art who does some of the most beautiful paint work refurbs on various consoles. Absolute eye candy in my opinion. Rob does not only external work but internal mods as well, all the good stuff to bring a dusty old loved classic console into the modern era both asthetically and functionally.

This episode I hang out with Jim Fontenont, also known as 'Kidshoryuken' on Youtube and Instagram. Jim is orignally from the US but is currently a residient of Tokyo and has spent a fair few years working and living in Japan and has solid insight in to the retro gaming scene and pop culture of Japan. Most of Jim's Youtube content is his experiences hunting around the various retro gaming reseller stores all over Tokyo and nearby districts and he shares with me what it's like to be surrounded by so much fantastic retro-ness. Definately living the dream of many retro gamers and collectors.
