The Player 2 PixelCast 156 Ah! Those were the days! Nothing sucked then: games worked out of the box, everybody got along and shovelware wasn’t a thing. Or… maybe not? Surprisingly, resident retro-head Rob Caporetto heads up an episode of the PixelCast that is largely about pondering just how much rose tint we’ve all had […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 155 Recorded fresh on Mar10 day, the 155th Player 2 PixelCast is all about trying to whittle down a list of Switch games. Specifically, the ten games we feel that are the most quintessential to Nintendo’s mega-success story. Does the crew include the games you most think should be there? Probably. […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 154 So many things have happened this year, at once shocking and not-at-all surprising. Planes landing upside down? Yeah, that just about checks out at this point. It’s a handy time to be helming a site that’s primary purpose is reporting on and writing about videogames.  But even that is a […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 153 There has been a lot of talk over the past year or so that this current console generation (and era in gaming in general) has been somewhat disappointing. While it’s true that there have been some stellar games post-pandemic, and even some all-timers (Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 152 By a small act of mercy, our first episode for 2025 squeaked out mere hours before Nintendo caved and dropped a svelte video showing off (what we mostly already knew about) the Switch 2 at long last. It would have landed earlier, and Matt now has a second arsehole as […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 151 Excuse me. What’s that. Look… my clock is obfuscated by a half empty bottle of rum that I stole from Hewso when he wasn’t at home. No, he doesn’t know how I got in. No, he didn’t even know that I was there. Yes, mentioning it here where he can […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 150 – Sadistic Santa Still Walks   Sleigh bells ring, carolers sing and the village is festive and bright But deep in our heart, we know that won’t last and we are all due for a fright When the season arrives, it comes with surprise, and not a welcome one at […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 149 And so another year draws to a close and the PixelCast crew huddles together around their… microphones… that are plugged into computers in different cities and even countries. And, honestly, only Tim is somewhere that could be described as cold right now. He’s not alone, of course – Rob and […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 148 Ever set yourself up for a BBQ only to realise that your meat isn’t really all that well seasoned and… wait… I’m being told that this is, in fact, not what this episode. No, this one is about that time I was led to believe that Grand Theft Auto 3 […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 147 Ever liked a game that the whole rest of the world just seemed to turn its back on? Well, not to worry – we’ve got your back. Well, unless the game was Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine. That game just plain sucks. But in all seriousness, this episode is […]

The Player 2 PixelCast 146 With PAX Australia now firmly in the rearview mirror for 2024, we thought that we might take a moment to consider what it is that actually keeps on drawing us to conventions, year in, year out.
