March 14, 2023 02:31 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBThis week on Dense Pixels: Micah gives his impressions after some time spent in Like a Dragon: Shin. Sony has stirred up controversy by claiming that Microsoft may release a version of Call of Duty on PlayStation which will contain bugs and errors that only emerge in the game's final level or after later updates.

A Monumental Day in History (Ep 454)
February 14, 2023 02:46 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBCarrie asked and begged and pleaded, but finally...her prayers have been answered. Golden Sun will be on the Nintendo Switch. We talk about that and much more from the Nintendo Direct last week including what we could see in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the sudden drop of Metroid Prime: Remastered. Nintendo happened to buck one of the negative trends we've seen in the game industry lately. Tape to Tape is the hockey rougelike (yes, you heard me correctly) that he never knew he ne...
Dreading Dragon Age Dreadwolf? (Ep 453)
February 07, 2023 03:07 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBThere was a leak of alpha footage for the upcoming Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, so Micah needed to give his thoughts on what he saw and the apparent direction the gameplay for the denouement of the series is going. We discuss Activision-Blizzard paying $35 million to the SEC out of the goodness of their hearts (according to them), the live service bloodletting that occurred in the game industry last week, the Grammy Awards finally catching up to the times, and we weigh in on the controversy that is...
The Greatest Story Ever Told (Ep 452)
January 31, 2023 03:59 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBWe are still shook from the Royal Rumble and we can't restrain ourselves from talking about it right up top. Is The Bloodline storyline the greatest wrestling storyline...ever? We get a Hi-Fi Rush from the surprising stealth drop the Microsoft hit us with. Republicans set their fake outrage onto Xbox, and what are our comfort food games?
Avengers, Disassemble (Ep 451)
January 24, 2023 03:44 - 1 hour - 78.8 MBMarvel's Avengers arrives at its inevitable fate. We discuss who's to blame and why this example in particular was such a waste. It was generally a brutal week in the game industry as we review the frustrating nature of the layoffs that befell many notable gaming organizations. We also ponder what 343 Studios' involvement should be in the Halo franchise going forward. Blizzard continues to show poor management, and one manager took a stand. Also what is the worst candy?
So Ubisoft is in Trouble, Right? (Ep 450)
January 18, 2023 21:31 - 1 hour - 73.9 MBUbisoft had to pull investors onto an emergency call to tell them they are cutting over $200 million of overhead thanks to lagging sales. We discuss what this means for the publisher and speculate on their long term future. Brad is going back in time by finally playing Final Fantasy V.

Rise, Ye Hunter! (Ep 449)
January 06, 2023 19:19 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBIt's the first pod of 2023, and while Micah has been keeping his gaming the same, Brad has basically become Carrie completing Persona 5 Royal and getting into...Monster Hunter Rise? SquareEnix has refused to turn over a new leaf this year, IO Interactive streamlines the Hitman World of Assassination, Microsoft stayed true to their word in regards to unionization, and we reflect on the year that was in pro wrestling.

December 21, 2022 01:14 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBIt's our Game of the Year pod! We discuss the games that made our top 5 this year in what ended up being a very chalk year for us. We also discuss Amazon being the surprise publisher of the next Tomb Raider, Epic Games getting absolutely crushed by the FTC for misleading kids in Fortnite, Riot Games begging to weasel out of their FTX sponsorship, and what moments in gaming caused us to have to push the controller away for a time.
The Rhythm is Going to Get You (Ep 447)
December 13, 2022 03:53 - 1 hour - 73.9 MBIt's a FULL show after a week off. Brad is drowning in Persona 5 Royal. Carrie FINALLY is playing Hades - and loving it. Micah is of two minds on Marvel's Midnight Suns. There were a bevy of announcements at The Game Awards. The FTC is looking to flex their muscles on the Microsoft-Activision deal. Steph Curry is producing a Toe Jam & Earl movie. Woke reviewers killed Days Gone. The World Cup has been bonkers! Like we said, so much show this week!
Pentiment Has Us Shook (Ep 446)
November 30, 2022 03:38 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBCarrie and Brad both finished Pentiment this week, and we have some (spoiler-free) thoughts about the emotional toll the game can take. Carrie also wrapped up Pokemon Scarlet and we talk about why The Pokemon Company isn't likely to care too much about the performance issues the game is suffering. Regulatory agencies are starting to take a hard look at the Microsoft-Activision acquisition, much to the delight of Jim Ryan. And finally we shame the game companies doing the worst to combat clima...

The Overpriced Bargain (Ep 444)
November 08, 2022 03:43 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBThe PSVR2 Headset was finally unveiled, and it finds itself in a tough spot in the marketplace. We discuss the place for the PSVR2 in a tough field and what the future of VR generally may look like. Brad gives his impressions on Soulstone Survivors and Gordian Quest, Square had themselves a tough week, capped off by the thud of an NFT game announcement in Symbiogenesis, and Riot demonstrates the weakest way to be an ally.
Wall Riding to Victory (Ep 443)
November 02, 2022 02:05 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBWe discuss more NASCAR in this podcast than probably any previous podcast combined because a NASCAR driver pulled a real video game move...and it worked! We put a bow on the Hellena Taylor-Bayonetta 3 dust-up; spoilers: dude, we told you. Rough news for a former Square Enix game studio, and Brad and Micah are still Marvel Snap'ing like crazy.
Less News, More Games (Ep 442)
October 25, 2022 03:23 - 1 hour - 87.9 MBOur unplanned two week hiatus helped us really narrow down the news...and instead has us talking about the playing of video games! We - of course - discuss the Bayonetta and G4 controversies. But after that we talk Marvel Snap, Fallout 4, Inscryption, and Bowser's Fury.
RIP In Peace, Google Stadia (Ep 441)
October 04, 2022 02:40 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBTo the surprise of...no one?...Google Stadia is getting the lights turned out on it. We discuss why the platform was doomed to failure. Brad got himself a Steam Deck, and he discusses the hardware and UI experience, as well as the addictive gameplay of both Vampire Survivors and Rogue Legacy 2. The Saudi Arabian government announces their plan to further invest into gaming - we tell you why you needn't be concerned. Finally, Carrie talks about her most recent Game of the Year candidate: the a...
Ten-Thousand Dollars! (Ep 440)
September 27, 2022 01:57 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBTwitch had themselves one hell of a week, as they cut down their creator revenue split, saw reporting of them being a prime destination for child predators, and saw a Senior Vice President dip out. Of course the alleged GTA hacker is a 17-year old kid; the context clues were right there! E3 is back whether we want it or not, EA is doing a FIFA collaboration that makes to much sense, and we discover what a "glizzy" is.
More Assassin’s Creed Than You Can Shake a Hidden Blade At (Ep 439)
September 21, 2022 02:30 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBWe take a week off and the whole industry decides to blitz us with news. Fortunately(?) the Nintendo Direct and Sony State of Play presentations last week were pretty lackluster. But Capcom saved the day with a MASSIVE info dump of Street Fighter 6! We also discuss the shocking Grand Theft Auto 6 leak, and the sheer amount of Assassin's Creed announcements that came our way. Finally, we discover several people hold their controllers like psychos.
Halo Infinite is a Microcosm of AAA Games in General (Ep438)
September 07, 2022 02:52 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBAAA Games are in a weird place right now and Halo Infinite is the latest example with the recent news drop concerning co-op. We discuss why this may be and why indies continue to thrive. Glen Schofield glorifies crunch culture, anti-trans folks in the gaming sphere get their deserved comeuppance, and is the CM Punk-Elite beef a work or a shoot?
Rescuing America from PlayStation Inflation (Ep 437)
August 31, 2022 00:09 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBWe saw the price increase of PlayStation 5s all around the world last week - everywhere that is except the US of A. Is console price stability a thing of the past? Plus the weirdest non-story ever last week, why GameStop Store Leaders aren't actually getting a bonus, and games purchases that gave us instantaneous buyer's remorse.
It’s One Diaper, Micah, What Could It Cost? (Ep 436)
August 24, 2022 02:53 - 1 hour - 78.3 MBOpening Night Live from Gamescom definitely wasn't a show for us; we talk about the few things that did capture our attention. Brad gives his initial impressions on Cursed to Golf, Micah tells you why you should pass on Saints Row, and Carrie has come around on The Outer Wilds. The Embracer Group was all over the news this week with acquisitions and embarrassments galore. There were a couple of surprising lawsuits in and around the game industry this week. We end with a robust Post Office whe...
The Lord’s Seed (Ep 435)
August 18, 2022 02:26 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBHow is Brad feeling about Cult of the Lamb? And more importantly, is Micah going to be convinced to purchase it? Reports of harassment continue coming in from around the industry, this time at Nintendo of America. What is it going to take to curb the problem? We are forced - begrudgingly - to tip our hat to the folks at Cards Against Humanity. EA tells us that we got it all wrong about loot boxes. And listen as 3 men explain to you the inverse of the term "mansplaining" to you.
Port Patrol (Ep 434)
August 10, 2022 03:02 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBTHE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER! We are discussing the seemingly doomed development path for the Knights of the Old Republic remake, Micah's venture - again - into Dragon Age Inquisition, why The Outer Wilds just doesn't click with us, EVO 2022, how ludicrous the thought is of Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto "going woke", the crap developers at Bungie have had to endure, Square waxing the car to get bought for goo-gobs of money, English language idioms and word misuses that annoy us, why CM Punk shou...
Was Shin-Ra Really the Bad Guy? (Ep 433)
July 27, 2022 01:08 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBMinecraft developer Mojang takes a sensible stance against NFTs and Blockchain...which was unfortunately undercut by Square pissing all over the message of their most notable video game, and then GameStop doing one of the most crass things we've ever seen? We also discuss whether players should be nervous about EA helming a single-player Black Panther game, CD Projekt RED losing their shirts over Cyberpunk 2077, and the best needle drop soundtracks in gaming.
When Publishers Advocate for Piracy (Ep 432)
July 14, 2022 23:08 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBIt seems like Ubisoft is - or was - dead set on pushing their players to pirate their games since they were considering decommissioning several games from Steam. We also have several game announcement stories, like the new Skate being a live service game (eh...) and a release date for Bayonetta 3 (woo!). The post office veers heavily into fighting game talk, and Hideo Kojima was falsely identified as a prominent killer?! Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!...
Leave Game Devs Alone (Ep 431)
July 07, 2022 22:58 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBBrad 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...
Running on Empty (Ep 430)
June 29, 2022 00:55 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBIt'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)
June 21, 2022 21:37 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBGood 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. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have...
What Were Our Biggest Takeaways from Keigh3? (Ep 428)
June 14, 2022 22:09 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBAnother Keigh3 aka Summer Games Fest has come and gone, and with no E3 this year, this is our summer gaming vortex!

It Really Didn’t Have to Be This Way (Ep 427)
June 07, 2022 23:24 - 1 hour - 79.1 MBDiablo 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 se...
Swealtearing for No Reason! (Ep 426)
May 26, 2022 03:35 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBIt'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. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We ...
Happy Birthday to Jim Ryan’s Cats (Ep 425)
May 17, 2022 23:47 - 1 hour - 76 MBSony 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. Subsc...
The Pies That Divide Us: Part 2 (Ep 424)
May 10, 2022 23:46 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBA 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! - www.de...
Who Needs Games When You Have Blockchain (Ep 423)
May 03, 2022 22:58 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBSquareEnix 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. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discor...
The Brighter the Picture, the Darker the Negative (Ep 422)
April 27, 2022 00:05 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBIt'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...
It’s a Blunt Object! (Ep 421)
April 12, 2022 23:52 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBYes, 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. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch! Brad - DensePix...
The Murderer of Trade Shows (Ep 420)
April 06, 2022 01:10 - 1 hour - 77.5 MBI 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 chan...
We Are Merely Whelmed (Ep 419)
March 30, 2022 01:07 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBOn 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)
March 23, 2022 01:06 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBWe 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 ...
We Can’t Stop Playing Elden Ring (Ep 417)
March 16, 2022 01:04 - 1 hour - 79.2 MBWe'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 organi...
This is a FromSoftware Podcast Now (Ep 416)
March 02, 2022 01:15 - 1 hour - 74.4 MBBrad 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 show Finally, some good fucking food Spartacus might...
Bobby Kotick: Republican Operative (Ep 415)
February 23, 2022 02:28 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBThis 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)
February 16, 2022 01:09 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBWe 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! - ...

February 09, 2022 02:18 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBWe impressions of new games this week! Carrie tells us if Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the beginning of new and exciting future for the Pokemon franchise. Micah discusses why Sifu will be a game truly in the eye of the beholder.

The Ultimate Bad Idea (Ep 412)
February 03, 2022 01:50 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBWe'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. Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.dens...
The Oldest Play in the Book (Ep 411)
January 26, 2022 02:08 - 1 hour - 76.8 MBWe're settling down from the bomb that was dropped on the game industry last week, and we discuss some of the stories that have basked in the afterglow, like Phil Spencer's carefully-worded Call of Duty statement, the wild reactionary nature of stock markets, and Bobby Kotick's wild move to get better press for his beleaguered company. Brad raves about Nobody Saves the World, the best ARPG this side of Diablo. And never fear gamers - we're back with a bevy of NFT news. Plus Royal Rumble...pre...
