  • Pixel Perfection

    Pixel Project Radio is a wonderful show about some great video games. The host, Rick, is very well spoken, insightful, and just a joy to listen to. He and his guests do a great job not just talking about a game, but analyzing the parts and pieces of it in such a way that are insightful and never in a way that alienates the listener. Give this show a listen and I promise you'll see your favorite game from a new perspective. - Nomad

Xenosaga Episode I Analysis, Part II (Ep. 110)

Learning to Love Souls Games and FromSoft (Ep. 127)

Learning to Love Souls Games and FromSoft (Ep. 127)
Q: How did you get started with Souls? Did you have a similar situation to me where it had to click at the right time or was it just love at first sight for you?
It was love at first sight in a lot of ways. I first played Dark Souls back in 2013 and just fell in love with it right off the bat, despite some early struggles with character building.
