Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

I can't believe it has already been 20 years since the Xbox 360 came out. This was Microsoft's most successful platform to date. It is the platform many fans wish Microsoft would go back to when it comes to guiding their approach to the gaming industry going forward. This platform marked the beginning of a lot of changes to the status quo in the gaming industry, both for good and for bad. Developers could now patch their games more regularly on console, DLC and expansion content expanded the life of games, but also added extra costs to the consumer as well. On top of all of this, some great games were introduced during this generation, and thanks to the focus on Xbox Live Arcade, and the famous "Summer of Arcade" during the 360 era, lots of indie games got a well deserved spotlight and were launched into major success! Tune in to hear what games really marked this platform as a serious contender and gave Sony a run for it's money.

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

If your home game is anything like mine, at this time of year, with Christmas rapidly approaching, your groups availability for gaming starts to become more and more unpredictable. What happens if your group cancels with little notice, but you really have that itch to game? I have explored that very question on an earlier episode of Saving Throes, but this week I wanted to revisit it again. This time I am focussing entirely on the video games that can kinda fill that gap, albeit temporarily. There are so many video games out there that aim to emulate the tabletop experience, and not just D&D. They might be able to help you if you are feeling stranded. Tune in to hear what surprising non-D&D video games actually exist, and see if they might be of use to you.

It's that time of year again, Geoff Keighley's Game Awards are just around the corner, happening later this week. I like to do an episode of predictions on who the big winners will be and also to put my 2 cents in to state whom I'd like to se win, based entirely on the list that the TGA crew has prepared for the show. To be clear, these awards and my predictions do not have any weight or impact on the games I will be recognizing later on in January for the Red Rooster Game awards, they are just my opinion on what is being shown at the TGAs. Tune in to hear my predictions and then next week I will see how accurate my insights were (or were not)!
