Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' Per usual, Kevin gets things kicked off with a quick recap on some of the games that he's been digging into recently — this week, he's leaning into a trio of arcade-inspired action games, each with their own unique brand of killer pixel art & addictive gameplay. John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we discuss all sorts of video gaming goodies — including proper etiquette & common courtesy at the game shop, the early days of 3D graphics, Mario's educational adventures, and much more...   Timestamps: Metal Slug Advance  -  00:03:19 Viral Reload EX  -  00:05:54 Chivalware  -  00:09:30   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the full trio in the house once again this week, and we're chock-full of gaming goodies to dive into, so let's get things started! Kevin gets things started off with one final update on his time with Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch 2, after grinding through the majority of the main campaign mode, and experiencing all 10 courses that the game has to offer. Randall takes the reigns from there, quickly steering us over into the retro realm, to shine a spotlight on a couple of arcade gems that he's been firing up lately on his Switch — including Gunbarich, another shoot 'em up (with a twist) from Psikyo, alongside the almost-never-released Clockwork Aquario from the folks over at Westone. Finally, John closes things out with some (more) thoughts on both of his resolution games for this year.  First, he's digging a little deeper into his time with DELTARUNE, followed by an update on Death Stranding, after recently putting some time into Metal Gear Solid V.   Timestamps: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:01:50 Gunbarich  -  00:13:16 Clockwork Aquario  -  00:17:58 DELTARUNE  -  00:28:56 Death Stranding (& Metal Gear Solid V)  -  00:34:18   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' As always, Kevin gets things started off with some of the games that he's been digging into recently — he's keeping the indie game train rolling this week, this time shining a spotlight on a couple of gems that he's recently discovered. After that, we've got the full crew in the house for the first time in quite a while (for a SIFTC episode, anyways) — and we're primarily digging into our first impressions on Nintendo's recent Zelda & Nintendo Switch showcases from early September (which aired the same day that we recorded this episode proper).   Timestamps: Coco's Revenge  -  00:02:26 Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake  -  00:09:42 Nintendo Switch & Zelda Directs (September 2026)  -  00:14:35 ↳  Kirby | Pikmin | Zelda | Metroid | Star Fox | Mega Man | Mario Kart   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  It's been a hot minute, but we finally have the full crew back in the house once again, and per usual, we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to dig into, so let's get things rolling... Kevin & John get things started off with a quick recap on some of the games that they had a chance to experience, after taking a recent trip "up north" with their band, Boss Fight, to record some new tunes after 10+ years away from the studio! After that, Randall & John are diving into the tail end of Kojima's involvement with the Metal Gear series, as they've both been playing quite a bit of Ground Zeroes & The Phantom Pain, respectively. Finally, Randall closes us out with a little FPS action, after taking some time to revisit the first game in Microsoft's flagship franchise, courtesy of Halo: Campaign Evolved, which was released earlier this year.   Timestamps: Gaming "Up North" (w/ Kevin & John)  -  00:02:36 ↳  Outlast  -  00:02:51 ↳  Nidhogg  -  00:06:24 Metal Gear Solid V + Ground Zeroes  -  00:13:48 Halo: Campaign Evolved -  00:30:11   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' Per usual, Kevin gets the ball rolling by ratting off some of the games that he's been digging into lately — this week, primarily focusing on a handful of bite-sized indies that he's been ripping through over on itch.io. After that, we're throwing it back to a recording session from the beginning of this year (2026) for a little more Randall action, before having the full crew back in the house again next week — and this conversation, we're digging into all sorts of Nintendo goodies, including Luigi's Mansion 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Mario Kart World, and much more...   Timestamps: Bite-Sized Indies on Itch.io  -  00:02:41 ↳  E.C.H.O. | 10SJR | Spookynakki | Gira Gira Tower | Zolf | Cleaving Caliber: Gold Nintendo Games & Goodies  -  00:17:42 ↳  Luigi's Mansion 3 | Kirby and the Forgotten Land | Mario Kart World | Pikmin 4   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  It's just Kevin & John in the house again this week, but we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to dig into, so let's get right into the action!  (Randall will be back in action with us for the next proper episode of the PP Podcast.) John kicks things off by spotlighting some of his recent 1-bit pixel art adventures on the Steam Deck — leading things off with some love for the Zelda-inspired Master Key, followed up by a quick shoutout to Minit Fun Racer (and the original game that it's based on). After that, Kevin revisits Untitled Goose Game from House House, after being inspired to fire it back up again by the hype surrounding their recently released, online-multiplayer-only adventure, Big Walk. Finally, we close things out with yet another "gush fest" (patent pending) for one of our all-time favorite indie developers, Ojiro Fumoto (aka "Moppin"), as John bounces back & forth between both Downwell and Poinpy.   Timestamps: John's Recent 1-Bit Adventures  -  00:01:26 ↳  Master Key  -  00:01:50 ↳  Minit Fun Racer (and the original Minit)  -  00:07:37 Untitled Goose Game  -  00:13:32 Mobile Masterpieces from "Moppin"  -  00:25:46 ↳  ​Downwell & Poinpy   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' As always, Kevin gets things started off with a quick rundown of some of the games that he's been digging into recently on his Nintendo Switch 2 — including a couple of games that are more than just a little bit grindy (for better or worse), along with a couple of indie gems that he recently recorded gameplay videos for. We're throwing it back to a recording session from early April after that (since we'll be missing Randall on back-to-back "proper" episodes of the PP Podcast), as he & Kevin dig into a bunch of various gaming goodies of all shapes & sizes — including non-distinct spines on physical game cases, controllers & arcade sticks, Atari games (both retro & modern), and much more...   Timestamps: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:03:03 Disney Speedstorm  -  00:06:47 Boomerang X  -  00:10:03 Aegis Defenders  -  00:14:45   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded this week while Randall has some family in town, but John & Kevin still have plenty of gaming goodie to dig into, so let's get right into it... We get things started off with a bit of a gush fest for a couple of our favorite indie developers, after John recently spent some time with the games from both Sokpop Collective & PUNKCAKE Délicieux!?! Kevin takes the reigns after that, and shines a spotlight on Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots, albeit a somewhat dim one, as we dig into the many pros & cons of the newest game in the series. Finally, John closes us out with a few indie games that he's been spending some time with recently — including an all-time mobile gaming classic from Vlambeer, along with a duo of bullet heaven inspired roguelikes from Heather Flowers.   Timestamps: Sokpop Collective + PUNKCAKE Délicieux  -  00:01:42 Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:12:32 John's Indie Score Chasing Adventures  -  00:25:24 ↳  Ridiculous Fishing | Snake Farm | Fish Fear Me   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Everyone's here once again this week, and per usual, we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into the action! John kicks things off with a couple of games that he's been bouncing back & forth between over the recent weeks — primarily focusing on the recently released Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, with small dose of Saints Row IV on the side, to round things out. After that, Randall takes us into the retro realm, as he's been spending some quality time with Master Higgins in Adventure Island II on the original Game Boy. Finally, Kevin closes things out with a little more retro goodness, after recently snagging a copy of Sega Bass Fishing on the Nintendo Wii, and getting "hooked" on the classic arcade action.   Timestamps: Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!  -  00:01:29 Saints Row IV  -  00:12:58 Adventure Island II (Game Boy)  -  00:15:44 Sega Bass Fishing (Wii)  -  00:30:19   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:    🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' Per usual, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a couple of the games that he's been digging into lately — this week, leaning into a couple of quick first impressions for both Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots & Yoshi And The Mysterious Book. John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, and this week we're all over the map, with a bit of a focus on movies & TV shows this week (though we still get into some video game action, as well) — including the pros & cons of digital vs. physical media collections, finnicky triggers on PS4/PS5 controllers, Nintendo Switch GameShare, and much more...   Timestamps: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:03:10 Yoshi And The Mysterious Book  -  00:07:08   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back to full strength again these week, and we've got a trio of games to dig into this time around, so let's get right into the action! Randall & Kevin get the ball rolling with each of their first impressions on the recently released Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2 — a completely overhauled remake/reimagining of the Nintendo 64 classic. After that, Kevin & John dig into their thoughts on Cast n Chill — an indie fishing game that has a boatload a potential, but left both of us wanting just a little bit more from the overall experience. Finally, John & Kevin slather some praise onto Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain — a bite-sized 3D collectathon platformer, released to celebrate the original game's sixth anniversary!   Timestamps: Star Fox (Nintendo Switch 2)  -  00:01:36 Cast n Chill  -  00:21:55 Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain  -  00:30:58   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:    🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels
