The Player 2 PixelCast 136 Hyyyyyype Traaaaaaaiiiiiiiiin! Somehow, it happened! Amid all of the disappointment and despair in the industry, we got a Summer (Winter) season of announcements and updates that actually got us a bit excited. 2025 is actually looking kind of badarse now. And that was before Metroid Prime 4 went and got […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 136 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 135 Do you feel it? That summer heat? All of that there scorching excitement layered in sunshine as a Bubble O’ Bill melts its way down the paddlepop stick offering your hand short cool reliefe that will soon become a sticky annoyance? No? Yeah… calander events should probably stop using actual […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 135 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 134 You see, this Shaun fellow loves himself some kung fu. Tim, on the other hand, only knows what he has seen in a handful of movies, and so thought it fit to shove him into a pond because the master types in those movies aren’t exactually… nurturing tutors. That is […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 134 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 133 Remember how clever design decisions or visual tricks just blew your mind as a kid? Maybe you do, but in our case, these things are things that we actually only come to appreciate years after the fact. That’s what this episode of Player 2’s PixelCast is about: finally giving some […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 133 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 132 It’s all about that ookie-ookie waku-waku feeling as this latest PixelCast episode brings the fresh beats! Or maybe not, but there is some talk about music. Soundtracks, specifically. This is more a jukebox kind of a thing than it is about carefully composed scores. You know, good old radio-friendly tunes.

The Player 2 PixelCast 130 Things were simpler when we recorded the first ever PixelCast. Well, aside from how we kind of started at episode three for reasons that aren’t worth going into here.

The Player 2 PixelCast 123 Another year, another white hair added to the beard. 2023 has been a peculiar ride, a unique mountain-valley-mountain-valley landscape of ups and downs within the world of games.
