In this week's episode of Pixel Project Radio, Rick and Ben tackle a fan favorite of the Zelda series - and indeed both hosts' favorite in the franchise - Majora's Mask. Set on an incredibly tight schedule and making use of its predecessor's engine and models, Majora's Mask seemed doomed to fail from the start. Nevertheless, it defied the odds and produced one of the most depressingly charming games of the series. Which is the best dungeon? What's the best mask? Which is the best song in the game?

A lot of folks hear the phrase "walking sim" and roll their eyes, imagining boredom. Firewatch is a game that proves this notion to be false, as inside is a short little game filled with a atmosphere, ambiance, and character development. From the writers of "The Walking Dead" comes a game that explores themes of isolation, relationships, and honesty. Lots of good discussion in this one!

This week on Pixel Project Radio, Ben and Rick kick off their month of Spooky Games in October with The Cat Lady! They talk about the atmosphere and world building, music, and some real fumbles the game makes. All in all a great play, and we (sort of) recommend it! Check it out!

In this week's episode, Ben and Rick traverse the Seaview Hotel in the relatively recent horror game "At Dead of Night." This is a shorter episode with plenty of opinions from both parties; in addition to the game's mechanics, tropes, and story, we talk about what makes a horror game good to us, trick or treating, and even go down some tangents about the Star Wars Sequels. Peek around the corner, check down the hallway, and give this a listen!

We have all felt unfinished in one way or another - to feel so is to be human. The thesis of "The Unfinished Swan," the game that Ben and Rick discuss this week, deals with the idea of this being not only an important area of growth but one that must be embraced, for it is not a failing on who we are. Author note - this is the kind of game we made this podcast specifically to talk about, so we hope you enjoy the discussions within.

This week, Rick is joined by friend of the show and friend in real life Charlie Young as they tackle LISA: The Painful, an RPG described as "a life ruining experience." LISA is the story of a broken man seeking redemption in the face of an apocalyptic world - but that barely scratches the surface, as this game features irreverent, biting humor juxtaposed with at times upsetting thematic material. Nevertheless, it's all handled with poise - unlike the guy in-game who orders his drink BEFORE his combo meal. What the hell is that? Anyway, take a listen!

This week, Ben and Rick dive into the past in the almost stranger than fiction tale of What Remains of Edith Finch. This work deftly ties in themes of the past and death anxiety with nuanced writing, and the result is a walking simulator that you won't want to miss. What does it mean to live? Who is the true antagonist, if there even is one? How does this house maintain structural integrity? All of this and more - just through this door.

Join secret agents Ben and Rick in this week's episode covering the landmark FPS on the Nintendo 64, GoldenEye 007. This game was a major turning point for the genre, but how does it hold up today? And what about emulation - does that "count?" We discuss all of this and more - much, much, more - within.

It's our first birthday! As such, we decided we wanted to tackle on of the most well-beloved games in the canon: Valve's landmark sequel, Portal 2. Rick and Ben are joined once again by friend of the show Charlie Young, and the three of them discuss everything that makes this game so special. The humor, the timing, the writing, the impeccable level design - it's hard to overstate how great this game is. Thanks for sticking around with us for one year - here's to many more!

This week, Mikey Tabletop from the Big Drink Energy Podcast joins Rick to talk all things fighting games. It's no secret that PPR loves a good narrative, but Rick actually grew up playing fighting games primarily! In this episode, we cover a very abridged history of the fighting game community and talk about some of our favorites.

This week, Mikey Tabletop from the Big Drink Energy Podcast joins Rick to talk all things fighting games. It's no secret that PPR loves a good narrative, but Rick actually grew up playing fighting games primarily! In this episode, we cover a very abridged history of the fighting game community and talk about some of our favorites. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Smash, and even some new contenders like Nick All Star Brawl and MultiVersus. You know, we've heard that "play - rate - review - subscribe" is a great combo for beginners and - alright alright, I'll see myself out.

This week, Rick presents his first critical essay on an often pushed aside title, Final Fantasy X-2. It's a game that was the first direct sequel the series ever put out - and is unique in far more ways than just that. Former High Summoner Yuna is joined by Rikku and newcomer Paine as the trio set out to get to the bottom of a mysterious sphere. Their journey leads them into politics, war, and...hot springs. Hear all about what makes this game work, what makes it falter, and why it's a Final Fantasy title that may not be your personal cup of tea but is well worth a try.

This episode, Rick and Ben board the bus to Possum Springs as they tackle the 2017 indie hit Night In The Woods. A semi-slice of life, semi-platformer, Night In The Woods tackles the doldrums of small town living, the anxieties and troubles that come with it, and how capitalism causes and influences the difficulties therein. Also, there's a cosmic horror space god. Pretty cool! This game was DIRECTLY inspired by the area that we at PPR grew up in too. This game means a lot to both of us, and we hope you like the episode!

Turtletastic! On this episode, Rick is joined by Eric of The Unlockables Podcast and Mikey Tabletop from the Big Drink Energy Podcast to talk all things Turtle! Namely though, the conversation is focused on the hit new beat 'em up, Shredder's Revenge. Does this work as a love letter to the beat 'em ups of old? How do we feel about the music? And who's our favorite brawler? All that and more - press play, dudes!

This week, Dave Jackson (Tales From the Backlog) joins Rick as they discuss NieR: Replicant, the 2010/2021 action JRPG from the mind of Yoko Taro. Taro has a penchant for telling bleak stories with humanity at their cores - is Nier the same? We go over these thematic ideas as well as the mechanics, dev history, and story. Part 1 will cover up to the time skip, and part 2 will cover the remainder of the game.

This week, Rick and Ben are joined by Chris Coplien of the Retro Hangover Podcast to talk all about one of the most important JRPGs of all time: Final Fantasy 6. The final mainline FF title for the SNES, FF6 pushed the boundaries of what a JRPG could be, and set a new tone for the series moving forward; whereas 1 through 5 were somewhat more lighthearted, 6 marks the beginnings of the FF series tackling heavier, more mature topics and themes. In this installment, we cover all of the development history, talk about thematic material, the phenomenal soundtrack, and much more. This episode covers the story up to meeting Banon for the first time. This was the winner of our Summer JRPG Poll, so we also must thank you, the listeners, for voting!

We reach the exciting conclusion as Rick and special guest host Dave (Tales From the Backlog) finish the story of NieR Replicant. We go through endings A through D, touching on the differences between each route. We also tackle the newly added ending E, and parse out how it may or may not relate to NieR Automata.

The time has come to close out one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. The final stretch of the game is some of the finest it has to offer; join Rick and special guest Chris as they dig into a cornucopia of symbolism and religious iconography in Kefka's Tower. We also wrap up each character's scenario/arc. We hope you enjoy!

Rick is joined this week by Eric Gess, host of The Unlockables Podcast, as they parry, dash, and shoot their way through the 2017 smash hit, Cuphead! There's a lot to love about this game, but it isn't without its hangups - specifically, it's devilishly difficult! Can the loving charm of the animation and music save it? What about the puns?! We get to all of this and more. We hope you enjoy!

This week features the third essay on Pixel Project Radio, titled "The Thematic Elements of Catherine." Atlus released this cult hit in 2011, and it has always lived within the shadows of its much more successful and flashy siblings bearing the Persona name. This is a shame, as Catherine is a wholly unique game with a surprising amount to say about the human experience. This essay focuses on two themes present within the game's story. I hope you enjoy!

It's difficult to discuss the music of video games without encountering a few titans of the industry, and among the tallest stands Nobuo Uematsu, a veteran composer perhaps most well-known for the Final Fantasy series. Uematsu's influence and styles run so much deeper than what many of us might expect, though. In this episode, Rick is joined by Jameson of the barSILENCE Video Game Music Podcast to discuss the legend himself, as well as dive into three unique OSTs of his with which you may be unfamiliar. And of course, there's plenty of Final Fantasy talk. We hope you enjoy!

It's one of the longest running media franchises out there, and is absolutely ubiquitous in our culture. Gen 2 games were particularly well-beloved, and the same can be said of these remakes. We talk plenty about the originals, what worked and what didn't in the remakes, and the franchise as a whole. We hope you enjoy!

This week, Rick is joined by Aaron (Super Pod Saga) and Chris (A Novel Console) to dive into the digital world as they cover Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth! This was the first Digimon game the US got after the series had been more or less dormant since 2007. While it has plenty to like about it, there is much holding it back. In this episode, we go over the facts and figures of how the game was made and who was involved, the writing and narrative, and the crunchy, stat-based goodness that is the farming system. All of this and more - no digivice required!

This was the first Digimon game the US got after the series had been more or less dormant since 2007. While it has plenty to like about it, there is much holding it back. In this episode, we go over the facts and figures of how the game was made and who was involved, the writing and narrative, and the crunchy, stat-based goodness that is the farming system. All of this and more - no digivice required!

A genuinely unique marriage of JRPG and survival horror, Parasite Eve is a special game in the catalogue of Square.

In this episode, Rick is joined by Ryan (List Off Podcast) to venture into the woods of Burkittsville, Maryland in the 2019 horror game Blair Witch. Set only a couple of years after the events of the movie, players are tasked with finding a missing 9-year old boy armed with nothing but a flashlight, a walkie talkie, and your trusty companion, Bullet the dog. Immersion and exploration play a huge role in this game, as Bloober Team - the minds behind Layers of Fear - flex their psychological horror chops. How does this game stack up to the other horror giants? You'll have to tune in to see. Do it up!

RE7 pays homage to many of the horror greats that came before it, in both mediums of game and film. The result is a montage and cornucopia of tension and atmosphere (...and I didn't even THINK about playing it in VR!). We talk all things mechanics, lore, dev history, sound design, and more. Also, I do a bayou accent. It's bad, it's no good. Do it up!

This week, Rick is joined by friend of the show Thrak (The 3DO Experience Podcast) to dive into Lost Odyssey, somewhat of a hidden gem of a JRPG exclusive to the Xbox 360. What does it mean to live - to truly live - when one cannot die? This question lives at the core of the story being told - by none other than Hironobu Sakaguchi - as players take control of immortal Kaim Argonar, seeking for the stolen truth of his past. In part 1, we go over development history, the score, overall thematic concepts, and a portion of the story; if you're playing along, we conclude today's episode after getting captured by General Kakanas. This was such a blast to put together - do it up!

Our three-part series on Lost Odyssey comes to a close in this final installment. The threads of the plot come together in an exciting conclusion - but is it earned? What do Rick and guest host Thrak (The 3DO Experience) think about the ending as it relates to the thematic identity of the game itself? Tune in to find out - it's an exciting ride!

Our three-part series on Lost Odyssey comes to a close in this final installment. The threads of the plot come together in an exciting conclusion - but is it earned? What do Rick and guest host Thrak (The 3DO Experience) think about the ending as it relates to the thematic identity of the game itself? Tune in to find out - it's an exciting ride!

Get ready for some 90s pop culture quips and a whole lotta Tail Time, because this week Rick is joined once again by friend of the show Charlie Young to talk all things Gex: Enter the Gecko! This is the essence of the 1990s distilled: pop culture references, a mascot character with attitude, and questionable camera controls. This was a heck of a fun episode that really felt more like shooting the breeze with a good friend - and we hope you enjoy that kind of vibe here!

This is the beginning of a miniseries on Final Fantasy IX, one of the most important games in my life. This is the first time the show is revisiting a game that has been covered previously. In this personal essay, I explain why I made this choice, give some background history on the game, and speak about why this game means so much for me. This is part 1 of 5. We hope you enjoy this series - it has been deeply moving and rewarding to put together.

The saga continues, as once again Rick and Eric return to go through the entirety of Final Fantasy IX. This episode picks up after what we learned in Black Mage Village and sees us continue until we return there later - meeting a new Chocobo friend! This episode has us go through the beginning and majority of disc 3. Traditionally, this is seen as the part where the narrative tends to "drag" - but is that a fair assessment? Join us to find out. Do it up!

In this episode, Rick is joined by friend of the show Mikey (0-2 Heroes) to talk all about The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo, a short, surrealist point and click adventure game! Created by animator Nacho Rodriguez (A Life Story, 2013), this game has you trying to get poor ol' Mr. Coo back together again after being lopped into thirds by a nasty croc. This game is light on narrative, so we get into the weeds about surrealism and why interpreting art can - and should! - differ between people.

Join us as we talk about the dev history, how the mechanics compare to previous/future titles, the phenomenal score, and more. Genuinely had a great time - do it up!

This week, Rick is joined by friend of the show Ryan (List Off Podcast) to talk all about the Wii smash hit, Super Mario Galaxy! Endlessly creative, this game was seen as the true successor to Super Mario 64 and kicked off a new era of creativity in the mainline Mario games. Join us as we talk about the dev history, how the mechanics compare to previous/future titles, the phenomenal score, and more. Genuinely had a great time - do it up!

This week, Rick is joined by friends of the show Matt ("Fun" and Games) and Josh (Still Loading) to dive into Celeste, a beloved indie game that burst onto the scene in 2018. Celeste is a beautiful mix of narrative and gameplay, marrying a story surrounding the human condition with some of the most engaging (and difficult!) platforming the three of us have seen in a long time. In the episode, we talk all about the impetus behind the creation of the game, the game's thematic identity, the soundtrack, and so much more. I'm proud of this one - do it up!

This week, Rick is joined by Chris (Retro Hangover Podcast) and Jon to focus on one of the black sheep of the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XIII. The game certainly has a reputation - but is it earned? In the episode, we go over the presentation, the fantastic score (NOT by Uematsu!), the controversial datalog, and the troubled development. Is XIII worth a reexamination? You'll have to tune in to find out - do it up!

This week, Rick is joined by Chris (Retro Hangover) and Nick (Friday Night Gamecast) to dive into a cult classic from the minds of Tetsuya Takahashi and Soraya Saga, Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht. This ambitious JRPG from the 2000s is a spiritual successor to the masterpiece Xenogears, and shares some DNA in its thematic identity and story concepts. In this episode, we explore the development and its troubles, the score, set a general foundation for the game, and discuss a few hours into the story. We hope you enjoy - do it up!

The final installment of our miniseries on Xenosaga Episode I is here! We reach an exciting conclusion, but are ultimately left with more questions than answers: Who were Albedo and Junior in their pasts?; What is Abel's Ark?; and why is Shion being drawn to Old Miltia? We unfortunately do not see these answers play out until episodes II and III. In this episode, we discuss the final areas of the game, see Albedo's true ruthlessness, and more. Do it up!

This week, Rick is joined by Nick (Friday Night Gamecast) to begin a critical analysis of Pentiment, a 2022 narrative adventure game from Obsidian Studios. Taking the role of journeyman artist Andreas Mahler, players will navigate the small Bavarian town of Tassing as havoc sweeps the town in the form of murders. A quest to discover who is behind these insidious acts leads to struggles of faith, clashes of class structure, and a reckoning with how history is written - and who writes it. Episode I will cover all of Act I and the first portion of Act II. Please enjoy!

Every human society in recorded history has games. We don't just solve problems out of necessity. We do it for fun...Games are part of what makes us human. We see the world as a mystery, a puzzle, because we've always been a species of problem-solvers." 

This week, Rick is joined by Alex (Low Five Gaming) to approach the brinks of phenomenal consciousness and transhumanism in The Talos Principle, a 2014 puzzle game by Devolver Digital. Though the storyboarding and "plot" are fairly light (and reminiscent to the Book of Genesis), the implications of the story are far reaching: what is the fundamental turning point into the notion of Qualia, or phenomenal consciousness? And what of free will - do we have it? Join us as we discuss this, the Garden of Eden, how games can foster community, and much more. Please enjoy!

We do it for fun...Games are part of what makes us human. We see the world as a mystery, a puzzle, because we've always been a species of problem-solvers." 

This week, Rick is joined by Alex (Low Five Gaming) to approach the brinks of phenomenal consciousness and transhumanism in The Talos Principle, a 2014 puzzle game by Devolver Digital. Though the storyboarding and "plot" are fairly light (and reminiscent to the Book of Genesis), the implications of the story are far reaching: what is the fundamental turning point into the notion of Qualia, or phenomenal consciousness? And what of free will - do we have it? Join us as we discuss this, the Garden of Eden, how games can foster community, and much more. Please enjoy!

Join us as we discuss what makes a Souls game, how fighting game knowledge can improve your experience, and why success in these blisteringly difficult games lies, perplexingly, within Zen.

"Seems like only yesterday you joined the space program, and suddenly here you are, leaving on your first solo voyage."

This week, Rick is joined by Josh (Still Loading Podcast) to begin a three-part analysis on Outer Wilds, a 2019 adventure game that captivated audiences (and me) with creativity and heart. Taking the role of The Hatchling, players explore a vast - and occasionally hostile - galaxy to gather data on the Nomai, an ancient race that disappeared under unclear circumstances. Mysteries abound, and with themes encompassing existentialism, religion, science, and community, Outer Wilds goes places players may not expect. We're both thrilled to be talking about this game. Please enjoy!

"The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."

The critical analysis of Outer Wilds continues this week as Rick and Josh (Still Loading Podcast) continue through the solar system! In this episode, Giant's Deep, Ember Twin, Brittle Hollow, and the Interloper are explored at length, and insight is gained into the Nomai - how they lived, what they valued, and their untimely fate. This ended up being a terrific discussion that spans not only the game, but how we can extract the lessons into our own lives. Please enjoy!

"Do you know that Black Panther?"

This week's episode is all about The Bouncer, Square's debut 2000 title on the Playstation 2. Along with Phil (Deleted Saves Podcast), we tackle this...ambitious game, top to bottom, encompassing mechanics and narrative. This game is lauded as infamously bad, but is that reputation earned? Take a listen to hear our thoughts on THE BOUNCER.

As you might expect, the answer isn't black and white. Join us as we discuss the game's hurried history, the (very pleasant!) music, what could have been of the story, and more. Please enjoy!

Quest 64 2: Quest Harder. 

Quest 64 Official joins the show once again to discuss the oft-forgotten Game Boy Color game Quest: Brian's Journey! Sitting as a combination of a sequel to and expanding/demake of Quest 64, Brian's Journey brings the Saga of Melrode to the handheld - and in some ways, shines a bit brighter than its predecessor. Join us to hear the (very brief) dev history, how the games differ from one another, musings on retro soundfonts, and much more. Please enjoy!

Nothing can now be ruined. We are the guests of someone gone.

This week, Rick is joined by Chris (1 Hour 1 Decision Podcast) to talk Gris, a 2018 work exploring grief, loss, and acceptance. Though initially unassuming, there's more to Gris than meets the eye. Our conversations focus on two themes: Prescriptivism vs Descriptivism; and that of the title, interpretation being a co-creation between the viewer and creator. Please enjoy!

How far would you go to bring back a loved one?

This week, Rick is joined by Michael (Bits of Time Podcast) to consider the premise of Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. Part visual novel, part adventure game, and part mystery thriller, Paranormasight opens with the question at the core of its story: would you resurrect a loved one if you could? If there were no consequences? How far would you go? This Square Enix title does a lot well - take a listen to hear us talk about the OST, the fantastic art style, and the divisive ending.

"What is the worth of a replica, a copy of a copy?"

This week, Rick is joined by Ben (Play Along Podcast) to discuss Signalis, a 2022 survival horror game that pays homage to the influential PS1 era of the same genre. Signalis is a game that seeks to provoke both feeling and thought, boasting a sprawling narrative that is not interested in giving definitive answers to in-universe lore. As is so often the case, though, these clear-cut answers are anything but the point. Join us as we examine the game's central questions and extrapolate them to our lives off of the screen, discuss aesthetics and vibes, and much more. Please enjoy!

"Once there was an explosion. A bang that gave birth to time and space."

This week, Rick is joined by Nick and Will (Friday Night Gamecast) to begin their journey through Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's 2019 project exploring a broken America and the importance of rebuilding. Isolation, interconnectivity, relationships, the importance of a mail system--there are many themes and ideas explored throughout Sam Porter Bridges's journey. In Part I, we discuss the game as a whole in our preliminary conversation, and follow into and through the Prologue and Episode I.

"Once there was an explosion. A bang that gave birth to time and space."

This week, Rick is joined by Nick and Will (Friday Night Gamecast) to begin their journey through Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's 2019 project exploring a broken America and the importance of rebuilding. Isolation, interconnectivity, relationships, the importance of a mail system--there are many themes and ideas explored throughout Sam Porter Bridges's journey. In Part I, we discuss the game as a whole in our preliminary conversation, and follow into and through the Prologue and Episode I. The efficacy of writing, naming conventions, a subversion of gameplay expectations - all this and more, just inside. Rick Podman out.

"And when he stared me down, that ghost, I knew he was here to kill me...and why shouldn't he?" 

A bombastic, emotional, and somewhat messy finale to our Death Stranding analysis is here, as Rick, along with Nick and Will (Friday Night Gamecast, see the story to its completion. Origins revealed, confessions made, and relationships clarified...along with some questionable mechanics and very questionable (but confident) dialogue. Please enjoy!

"This won't make sense to you now, but we both want what's best for our families. I'm sorry you're caught in the middle. But I did try to warn you."

Rick and Thrak (The 3DO Experience! and ThrakOps) return to continue their narrative analysis of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Episode II covers from the first foray into the world map until we meet our last permanent party member shortly into Act II. Puzzle pieces begin fitting together, but they introduce more questions than answers: who is the White-Haired Man? Why does he seem particularly interested in Maelle? And what's the deal with Esquie? The implications of condolences, experiencing loss, narrative framing, and more—please enjoy!

"I have no wish to change the world. But nor can I stand by while men suffer and die on he whim of some select few."

The Final Fantasy Tactics analysis continues! Rick, Nomad (The Retro Wildlands) and Chris (Consoles and Stuff) move forward in this episode until the beginning of Chapter III. The power struggle of Dukes Larg and Goltanna continues to rage on—but two new parties join the fray: the Church, and...Delita, whose ambitions remain yet unknown. Class struggle tinged with free will continues throughout this epic story. Don't dog my every move. You milksop rabble. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

"I will burn down this kingdom, and from its ashes build for you a new one - a kingdom worthy of you."

The Final Fantasy Tactics analysis continues! Rick, Nomad (The Retro Wildlands) and Chris (Consoles and Stuff) charge into Chapter 3, which sees the game veer into a more traditional JRPG territory. Traditional isn't bad, though...although a few fights in this stretch of the game certainly are. More Lucavi, more Delita, more bad guys—this chapter has it all. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

"...I got this..."

The analysis of our Final Fantasy Tactics stint comes to a close—and what a conclusion it is: the secrets of the Church are fully revealed; Delita spirals further into his view of justice; and players get an ending that, we argue, is totally Shakespeare. This has been a blast, and we hope you have loved these episodes, too. Please enjoy!

"Please don't do this..."

The critical analysis of The Last of Us Part II begins today! This is a polarizing game, to say the least; some see this as a bold, biting success in the spirit of TLOU's universe, while others see this as the creators spitting in the face of fans—even going so far as to petition for a complete remake. Either way you slice it, this game gets a *lot* of talk around it. This podcast, where Rick is joined by Jon (Video Game Lounge) will be no different. This episode explores a high-level overview and the philosophies/themes behind the game before the narrative breakdown. This episode covers up to and through *That Scene.* You know the one. Hope you love the show today!

An oppressive system breeds a need to break free.

Rick is joined by Kate and Emily (No Small Games) to take a deeper look into Playdead's INSIDE, a horror-tinged puzzle-platformer released in 2016. Draped in an opaque narrative, INSIDE demands discussion from players—with the game and with each other—to parse out intent and impact. Between the three hosts themes of control, systemic oppression, free will vs determinism, and autonomy are explored, both in terms of gameplay and a suggested narrative. Hope you love the show today.

"Stop calling me ma'am."

The analysis on NieR Automata begins! Rick is joined by Dave (Tales from the Backlog) to take an in-depth look at this marriage of Platinum Games's circumfluent battle style and Yoko Taro's philosophically-tinged narratives. NieR Automata is a game with two ideas at its core: existentialism (existence precedes essence); and the all-too-human penchant for "othering" those who are not in our in-group, often due to unwillingness to shift perspective. This episode covers up to learning the fate of the makers of the machines. Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"And we need a God worth dying for."

The NieR Automata analysis continues! Joined by Dave (Tales from the Backlog) once again, we proceed through the ending of route A and through the entirety of route B. The view from 9S's perspective unearths new information not yet known to 2B...or to most of the YoRHa troops. How will 9S temper the friction between his loyalty — indeed, his "essence" — with an earth-shattering revelation? Further conversations on existentialism, Simone de Beauvoir, the importance of perspective, and more. Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"A future is not given to you. It is something you must take for yourself."

The NieR Automata analysis concludes! Joined by Dave (Tales from the Backlog), we talk through the final three endings of the game in detail. One of the game's main themes — that of a Will to live, a meaning to life to stave off what has been variously called "The Absurd," "Nihilism," and more — is on full display as we see more characters than not grapple with it. Between what the game presents and the supplemental lore canon, there's loads to talk about. Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void."

We're finally doing it: might be pretty late to the party, but today we're talking all about Hollow Knight, the metroidvania that had — and arguably still has — the gaming world rapt since 2017. Co-host Doug (Nostalgium Arcanum, Playing by Ear) joins the show to look into just what makes this game work...and what makes it work so impeccably well. Hollow Knight is rich with thematic strands, lurid visuals, affecting music, and enough lore to make even the most dedicated Wiki editor blush. Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"Fighting February" has begun! We're trying something a little different this year and doing three fighting games this month. This episode features Under Night Inbirth, an anime fighter with combo-heavy gameplay and a supernatural-esque lore. Co-host and fighting game aficionado Raging Demon (Kommand List podcast) joins to parse out what makes this fighter so unique—and so criminally underrated. The insane story, the GRD system, the absolutely killer soundtrack...all this and more on this week's episode. Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"Fighting Festival" is a worse name...but not inaccurate.

This week is all about the Sega crossover bringing together Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers (as well as a few other surprises): Fighters Megamix! Co-host Chris (Retro Hangover podcast) joins to PKG throughout this mashup that's either a marketing ploy or a good time, depending on who you ask. It brought the Virtua Fighter engine, it brought some (at the time) not-yet-released moves from VF 3, it brought the armor and stage destruction mechanics of Fighting Vipers...and it brought Sonic the Fighters and Daytona USA into the ring, too. This is a game that means so much to me (Rick) and immediately takes me back to being a wee lad playing the first console I ever owned. We hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

Hey, all! Pixel Project Radio here!

To break up Fighting Game February, Rick and Bill (Gaming and Collecting; 3DO Experience; Geek Addicts) jump into the 3D Kingdom of Dotnia in 3D Dot Game Heroes! This game—with credits from Fromsoft and Atlus!—was released to general favorability in 2009 but never made a notable impression. Perhaps this is why it's marooned on the PS3 and the PS3 only to this day! This is a very special game, and in this episode Rick and Bill break down why it deserves far more love than it gets: the infectious music, the self-referential and -parodic writing, the gorgeous marriage of 2D and 3D, and more. 3D Dot Game Heroes does so much right. It deserves more recognition—and we're gonna tell you about it! Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"Legend tells of an ancient artifact that can grant a woman's wish..."

Fighting Game February comes to a close with Skullgirls, the indie fighter—excuse me, the handdrawn indie fighter, put some respect where it's due—that takes inspiration from fighting games, comics, and old-school movies alike. Mikey Tabletop (0-2 Heroes Podcast) joins as co-host to talk about why this game deserves more love than it gets. Between the gorgeous animation, the attention paid to competitive mechanics, and a soundtrack that's closer to "good jazz" than most games get (you too, New Vegas, sorry), it's easy to gush over Skullgirls. It's not all pleasantries though, as this game has been in the spotlight many a time for reasons less than admirable. All of this and more, to bring February to a close. Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!

"Nobody can take anything away from him. Nor can anyone give anything to him."

This week begins a look at Chrono Cross, the Playstation 1 follow-up to the critically acclaimed and fan-beloved Chrono Trigger. While sharing a namesake and a creative team, there is far more about Chrono Cross that differs from its older sibling than there is that makes them alike. Co-host Chris (Retrograde Amnesia podcast) joins the show to mull over what works—and more importantly why. Chrono Cross takes a lot of risks in its battle system, its cast of colorful weirdos, and, especially, its narrative identity...and that is where this conversation begins. Join us for the first of three episodes exploring this wonderful and weird JRPG gem. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

"“We…No..Everyone worked to save the planet’s future for nothing…It’s all because of you! You killed it! You…! So many lives were supposed to be saved…how could you do such a thing?! It’s all your fault that the world is going to end up like this, Serge! Murderer!"

The analysis of Chrono Cross continues! Co-host Chris (Retrograde Amnesia podcast) joins once more as the game begins to show contrasts—contrasts with its established tone, and contrasts to the ideals established by its predecessor, Chrono Trigger. Why struggle against fate? Is the universe fixed? Musings on determinism, a Zelbess mini-musical analysis, Fargo smokin' stogies, and much more. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

"I'm so sorry I failed you, Buddy. I miss you so much."

The Lisa series returns to Pixel Project Radio as we discuss Lisa the Joyful, the Kickstarter goal-turned-sequel to Austin Jorgen's cult hit Lisa the Painful. Joyful picks up as Buddy, Olathe's last living woman/girl. After the wake of Brad's self-satisfying redemptive warpath, she finally knows autonomy. Aaron (Super Pod Network) joins to discuss whether Joyful is able to ask the uncomfortable, meaningful questions that Painful asked of the players...or whether it lives meekly in the shadow of its older sibling. This, a brief look at the insane music, discussions on character depiction, and more. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

I usually put a game quote up top...but just imagine Tomba yelling and making Tomba noises, instead.

This week, first-time co-host Georgie (Press Pause Radio) joins to take a step into the halcyon days of the Playstation 1—because we're talking Tomba!, the sole series created by Whoppee Camp. Tomba is pure "early video game" in more ways than one; join Rick and George as they discuss the signature "Events" system, the surprising amount of freedom (and frustration) throughout, good-time music, and beatin' up pigs. Who doesn't love that? What I DO hope you love...is the show today. Please enjoy!

The final episode on Chrono Cross is here! Though, in truth, another ten more would have been perfectly fine. All of the threads—of fate, of FATE, of the narrative—come together here, neatly or no. Co-host Chris (Retrograde Amnesia podcast) joins to wrap it up and discuss potential plot holes, essential lore that is completely missable, and, of course, the ending. There is SO much to talk about with Chrono Cross. It's a very special game, and we hope that you feel the same...at least about these episodes. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

This week, co-host Jake (Pre-Order Bonus Podcast) joins to discuss Kena: Bridge of Spirits! Kena made waves as a Souls-like with a deceptive face—"Disney meets Dark Souls," it's been called. A journey through the lands sees the titular Kena rounding up the almost-actionably-Pixar Rot to aid her in guiding wayward spirits home. But is Kena more than a series of homages and influences? Join us as we discuss the narrative, character writing, composition process, combat philosophy, and much more. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!

Yasunori Mitsuda is a name that hardly needs an introduction to those steeped in JRPGs—but both his catalogue and his tastes are broader than you might expect. Nick (Friday Night Gamecast) co-hosts as we give an introduction (an admittedly very broad introduction) to his works and style. Although many of our favorites were left out, there is discussion aplenty. We talk two major works, a few lesser-known titles, non-game music, music theory analysis, and much more. Hope you love the show today. Please enjoy!
