One of my favorites. Always fun and easy to listen to.
Darren is locked in on all things pixels and polygons. If you are looking for some short but meaty dives into video games and video game consoles of this style and era give this show a listen!!!
Punchy and to-the-point, every episode of Pixels and Polygons is a fascinating look into the nooks, crannies, and corners of video games and the people who play them.
Darren’s as knowledgeable and passionate as anyone in the retrogaming scene, and Pixels and Polygons is as fun and informative a pod as there is. My highest rec!
Darren is a fantastic host and the convos are lively and fun with a variety of really entertaining topics. A great listen!

A concise, conversation-driven show focused on video games, especially retro and indie titles, hardware history, and personal origin stories in gaming. Episodes pair the host with a rotating cast of guests to explore niche topics, compare classic systems, and discuss how tastes evolve over time, often mixing nostalgia with contemporary perspectives. Notable strengths include short, punchy episodes that still dive into specific games, genres, or industry anecdotes, and a track record of engaging guests from diverse corners of gaming culture. This makes it appealing for listeners who enjoy deep dives into memory, design, and the cultural side of gaming, delivered in a friendly, conversational style.
