Leave Game Devs Alone (Ep 431)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/07/07

Brad is joined by a special guest this week, and our main point of discussion is why gamers need to settle the hell down and let game makers make their games in the wake of Monkey Island and God of War dev harassment. Brad gives his very early impressions of the Live A Live demo, and we talk the games coming soon and recently released we're most interested in. Nintendo brought forth a pretty good Nintendo Direct, and what is the best condiment? Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We

Running on Empty (Ep 430)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/06/29

It's been an oppressively bad week of real-world events, but Sony's stable of developers put a smile on our face sticking it to Jim Ryan. Activision-Blizzard is being pushed by their shareholders to show their work, Ted Cruz is as odious a gamer as he is a human, and we definitely mention the Nintendo third-party Direct.

Nothing to See Here! (Ep 429)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/06/21

Good news! Activision-Blizzard has declared they did nothing wrong, courtesy of an investigation paid for by...Activision-Blizzard. In Diablo Immortal news, we discover the exact wrong way to protest Blizzard's gross monetization practices. We also talk surprising Final Fantasy VII and Dragon's Dogma drops, whether Saudi investment in video games will - or should - affect our buying practices, and the insanity currently going on in WWE.

It Really Didn’t Have to Be This Way (Ep 427)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/06/07

Diablo Immortal is a really fun Diablo game! Too bad it also happens to be a really predatory mobile experience more interested in making all the money instead of just putting out a great product! Sony had themselves a real good State of Play and we are positively buzzing about Final Fantasy XVI and Street Fighter 6. Epic Games isn't interested in NFTs except when they are, and why bad leaders create mass exoduses in retail. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! -

Swealtearing for No Reason! (Ep 426)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/05/26

It's a pretty somber week in world events, and that holds true for the games industry with the Saudi government buying a share of your favorite video game company and former cops taking para-social relationships with their favorite streamers way too far. Fortunately we have some good news with Raven Software giving the US games industry their first union. Then in the Post Office, Carrie and Micah manage to completely flummox Brad yet again.

Happy Birthday to Jim Ryan’s Cats (Ep 425)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/05/17

Sony Worldwide Studios VP Jim Ryan's cats were in the news this week, and if you missed the original story you'll never guess why! We discuss the delays of Starfield and Redfall and if it negatively impacts the value of Game Pass. We also review Sony's initial offerings of their enhanced PlayStation Plus plans, discuss Activision-Blizzard's corporate plans for diversity in their games, the WATA lawsuit, and why we don't need to see 73-year old Ric Flair in a wrestling ring ever again.

The Pies That Divide Us: Part 2 (Ep 424)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/05/10

A slow week breeds tangents! We do talk about FIFA making a hilarious blunder, the FTC taking a sharp look at the Sony-Bungie deal, and Monster Hunter Rise's new expansion. But then Micah gives his initial Drive to Survive impressions and pontificates which driver and team he should support. And finally, the great baked goods debate returns as we argue about cake vs. pie and the dessert that binds us together. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! -

Who Needs Games When You Have Blockchain (Ep 423)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/05/03

SquareEnix has unloaded all of their western developers for a song...and it's so they can go full steam into Blockchain?! We certainly have our thoughts on that as well as Reggie Fils-Aime getting decidedly less cool. Sony is catching some heat for doing something Steam has been doing for years. Twitch is pissing off their creators for silly reasons. Finally, Micah talks about his very first viewing of Tony Scott's magnum opus.

The Brighter the Picture, the Darker the Negative (Ep...

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/04/27

It's a surprising political gaming news show as the Governor of California may have flexed his political muscle improperly in the Activision-Blizzard lawsuit and Nintendo is the latest company accused of union-busting practices. We found what is likely to replace NFT's as the latest money-grab in gaming, and it's the return of an old foe. Brad has been playing not one, but two rogue-like deck builders on Switch and Micah himself has a secret shame that he's been playing. Gameboy Advance games on

It’s a Blunt Object! (Ep 421)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/04/12

Yes, there sure is another Kingdom Hearts game in development, but why (for the love of god!)? We also dance on the grave of NFT's in video games, hopefully not prematurely (for the love of god!). Activision-Blizzard employees have shown us how organizing works, and you are treated to an extended Post Office segment thanks to a light news week.

The Murderer of Trade Shows (Ep 420)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/04/06

I don't know if it's possible to do a true post-mortem on Elden Ring after a month, but Micah has earn a platinum trophy so we talk about why it's so special and why it's unlikely to be replicated. Geoff Keighley (and COVID) may have killed E3 forever. Another Microsoft studio is experiencing some turmoil. The game industry needs to figure out accreditation. Brad started - and finished - Hyper Light Drifter. And we give the briefest of WrestleMania impressions. Subscribe to our YouTube

We Are Merely Whelmed (Ep 419)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/03/30

On this week's show we talk the new PlayStation Plus tiers and why a lot of folks are approaching the news (or lack thereof) from the wrong standpoint. Brad is also relatively pleased with the olive branch extended by Polyphony for Gran Turismo 7. Grand Theft Auto Online is finding ways to get even more money from players, we aren't feeling WrestleMania this year, and yes, more Elden Ring talk. We also discuss if 2022 could very well have the greatest ever slate of Game of the Year contenders.

Syphon Filter Man (Ep 418)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/03/23

We really hope you enjoyed last week's video game love-fest because we're back to the miserable news around the game industry. Sony gets a two-fer thanks to Polyphony making Gran Turismo 7 intentionally grindy and the exposure of sexual harassment within PlayStation. The Initiative has been dealing with a ton of turnover and we talk about what should be expected from the new Perfect Dark. We can scorn on Elden Ring trolls, and get sidetracked on the topic of quality of life features in video games

We Can’t Stop Playing Elden Ring (Ep 417)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/03/16

We're almost entirely ignoring the news this week because we just want to talk about Elden Ring. Micah is hooked, and he and Brad rave about what makes Elden Ring just so damn transfixing. Brad would have played much more, but he's also been sidetracked by Gran Turismo 7 - perhaps the most earnest game he's ever played. Brad discusses Puzzle Quest 3, we talk video game companies pulling out of Russia, and if Capcom is shooting themselves in the foot by putting out some very restrictive organized

This is a FromSoftware Podcast Now (Ep 416)

Brad is transfixed by Elden Ring in the first dozen hours he's spent with the game. The real question is - can Micah resist buying it during the show in the face of such praise? We got the surprise announcement of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet which is coming out this year! The rumored features of PlayStation Spartacus is as underwhelming as we expected. And Gabe Newell is out here spitting hot truth about NFTs. TGS returning to in-person showFinally, some good fucking foodSpartacus might be soon and

This week, Carrie talks about her continued thoughts on Pokemon Legends Arceus now that she's completed it, and how they truly make you a Pokemon big game hunter. Of course we have thoughts on the Street Fighter 6 reveal and the new character designs they are rolling with. The SEC filings that Activision had to turn over for the merger have seen the light of day and we get some interesting tidbits on Phil Spencer moving quickly to buy Activision...and Bobby Kotick's secret Republican donation

The Worst Time to Release This? (Ep 414)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/02/16

We have a Cyberpunk 2077 next-gen update sighting...and it's here to download! We can't fathom why it's coming out just ahead of Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring, but at least it's here. We had a hell of a Nintendo Direct including exciting Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mario Strikers Battle League news! There's also NFT's backfiring on Team 17, possible Sony censorship, and is Street Fighter 6 imminent? Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! -

The Ultimate Bad Idea (Ep 412)

Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews ·

2022/02/03

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming of industry-shaping acquisitions and NFT's! We discuss what Sony is actually buying in Bungie and generally about consolidation in the game industry. We also have a ton of NFT stories; both encouraging - like some early converts like Troy Baker and EA seeing the error of their ways - and massively depressing in what Ubisoft and Atari are bringing to the news.
