    It is absolutely no secret to anyone that listens to this show that we love a good Role Playing Game. Whether it be Austin’s gushing over Pokemon, my continued support of Final Fantasy, or even Dylan’s consistent love of The Witcher, it’s very clear that we care a lot about the genre. But one thing we have yet to do is dive deep into why that is. Why do we love the genre? What makes it so special? What even makes a good RPG a good RPG? Well, strap in folks because that’s what we plan to discuss for you today.

    On top of the RPG talk, Josh has a couple of great games to talk about, Austin continues his long descent into the land of Gundam, and Dylan ponders the meaning of life and more.

    Videogames are an ever-evolving medium and we’re constantly finding new ways to play. Whether it be new streaming techs like Amazon Luna and Google Stadia or Virtual Reality coming from the likes of Valve’s HTC headsets or Sony’s Playstation VR. On top of that, there are constant innovations in tech that bring the scope of what video games can do into a massive new world. At the forefront of these conversations in recent years has been Microsoft’s Xbox brand. With the Xbox One X being a powerhouse at the time of Launch, the Series X being the most powerful console ever created, and the adaptive controller giving disabled people the ability to play games, Microsoft has been pushing tech into new frontiers. Even with all of that said, possibly Microsoft’s biggest innovation has been Game Pass, its Netflix-style gaming library. The subscription service has taken the world by storm, amassing a gigantic subscriber base in just a handful of years, and the recent acquisitions such as Outriders and MLB The Show, it is only getting bigger. With it becoming a hugely popular service, Game Pass is making leaps towards changing the video game industry forever and that’s what we plan to talk about for you today.

    Special Ep. 03: Nintendon't

    One thing is probably clear to anyone who listens to our podcast, Austin is the Nintendo guy. Josh loves his switch to death and is very nostalgic for the NES and SNES era of Nintendo, but he is not as ingratiated into that community as really either Austin or Dylan is. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t pay attention and as such, he has some thoughts about where Nintendo is sitting currently in comparison to the other two giants of the industry, Xbox and Playstation. That said, to keep him in line and to get a more unbiased look at the company and how it is currently sitting, he brought in Austin and Barry Carenza of NintendoFuse in order to really get into the weeds on where Nintendo currently stands and what may be on the horizon.

    Music is as integral to gaming as it is to any other form of visual media out there. Without music, you couldn’t have the same feeling of intensity in the boss battles of The Witcher 3. Nor could you have the feeling of adrenaline pumping vigorously through your veins as when the chase music hits in Metal Gear Solid. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you couldn’t have the same feeling of immense sadness as you would when Sniper Wolf tells her life’s story at the end of her boss fight or the death of Aerith is Final Fantasy 7. And as Austin said in his intro on the special episode, it’s a little bit sad that music is often overlooked in favor of narrative or gameplay and so today, we’re going to talk about our favorite video game soundtracks.

    Video games are such a wonderful medium for storytelling. They combine tons of variations on different mediums. They can entice with their visual splendor. They can evoke emotions through incredible narratives. They can even give you the tactile feeling of overcoming an obstacle. There is one part of gaming, however, that is often overlooked and that is the music. While it needs to be stated, that isn't true in every single instance, when you go to tell someone about a video game, music will not usually be the first or second thing that you talk about. So today, Austin and special guest Johnny McLain, of the Atlanta metalcore group Ghosts Of Evergreen, talk about music in gaming. What can music do for a game and even some of their picks for favorite game soundtracks ever.

    Video Game Preservation is a topic that at one point became a big issue of discussion for most gamers. In the lead up to the more modern age of gaming old games made for old hardware were often lost if the rights holders didn't make sure to preserve them. This led to many games being lost to time forever. In the dawning of the new digital age of gaming, that question persists with perhaps an even renewed vigor. What happens to our games if it's just a digital copy? The recent rumor of Sony shuttering the digital stores for the PS3, PSP, and PS Vita has only gone on to spark even more discussion about the preservation of games.

    Alongside that topic of the show, Josh got his hands on a PS5 and has some thoughts on the system as well as a few games that he's been playing on there. Austin rewatched FLCL for the first time since high school and has some thoughts on it and Dylan... Well, he's still Dylan. All of that and more on a jam-packed episode of Hunting Pixels.

    Have you ever had an experience so impactful that you’ve never forgotten? Some people will remember their first kiss with the most vivid clarity that it’s like they’re reading from a book. Others may remember a really awful break up. These experiences strike right to our core and we remember them forever. Media can also do that. Many of us can recount the very first time that we saw our favorite movie of all time. Some will remember the concert that was “like a religious experience”. And for some of us, that moment comes from video games. So strap in guys, it’s time for us to get back to our buzzfeed listicle roots and we’re going to talk to you today about the moments in gaming that have stuck with us, not only to this day, but may stick with us forever.

    On top of this, the boys have some media to discuss with Josh giving his thoughts on the 1984 classic A Nightmare On Elm Street and the Netflix original, I Care A Lot. Austin has been watching even more anime. And there's game talk as well. Lots of Dark Souls 3 talk and Zelda. Who knew?

    The One Where The Boys Go Live

    This week was a weird one for the boys as they decided to do something a bit different and live stream the show. Well how do you integrate the entire capabilities of livestreaming with a podcast about a designated topic? Easy, you just talk about the News. This week the boys break down rumors about the Nintendo Super Switch, the dissolution of Sony Japan Studio, and Marvel's Avengers XP restructure. All of that and so very much more.
