PixelCast 50 – Pixel Past Twelve




PixelCast show

Summary: Another year, another milestone. That's just how the PixelCast rolls. Somehow, we've taken this formerly formless entity and whipped it up to a good half-century worth of numerical content. Will it continue on to a full three-digit number? We'll have to wait and see, but for now we're pushing forward with as much gaming talk as ever. This fortnight sees Tim joined by James 'Jickle' O'Connor, Sir Nathan Cocks and the lovely Lady Jessica West. Surprisingly, despite the dearth of new releases, none of the four have had any trouble in finding things to play. Actually, that's not a surprise at all – the world of today as flooded with games, to the point where we're always playing catch-up. Or, in Tim's case, playing HD remakes of old favourites and struggling to articulate the brilliance of the dis-congruity between pure, love-driven motivation and the evil deeds that this sews that Shadow of the Colossus portrays with such a deft hand, instead falling down on nonsense words such as grey. Oh, and everyone talks about their personal favourite games, too. ____________________________________________________ You can listen and download the podcast directly (.mp3 file) through the player below, but please also subscribe to the Cast on iTunes!
