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 post The Player 2 PixelCast 149 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

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 post The Player 2 PixelCast 148 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

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 post The Player 2 PixelCast 147 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

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. Both our panel members and the conventions themselves have changed somewhat notably over the […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 146 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 145 For some reason, Hewso thought it might be a good idea to invite a bunch of freaks and weirdos into his hotel room while PAX was going on in Melbourne. Fine choice of city; questionable choice of behaviour. In any case, this is an unusual episode in the sense that […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 145 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 144 With the way things are going in the world, getting stuck on a deserted tropical island or some unmapped alpine mountain my almost seem desirable. It’d probably hurt your gaming a bit, though. That said, imagination can be a fun thing to flex, and so we set some rules to […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 144 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 143 Who knows, by the time this is published and you’re listening to it everything that there could possibly be to know about what we’ll simply call the ‘Switch 2’ may have been leaked and everyone has already moved on to Microsoft officially announcing some kind of XBox handheld or branded […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 143 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 141 Nein, Geoffory! Nein, nein, nein! We don’t need any more of these stage shows! Yes, your dress sneakers are lovely (and, I hope, comfortable), but it’s just been a couple of months since we last did this and we don’t always need multiple drinks after dessert. Nonetheless, the Keighly opening […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 141 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 140 At the beginning of this century, Shenmue was listed in the (honestly pretty corrupt) Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive videogame ever developed, with its protracted development cost sitting at around $80 million. Fast forward to the current generation, and Spiderman 2 is sitting at an eye-watering […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 140 first appeared on Player2.net.au.

The Player 2 PixelCast 139 After looking at the flakey ashes left by our previous episodes, people’s dreams fluttering and dissolving in the air as the literal value of their words dissipates before our very eyes, we figured we needed to shift gears and try and find something at least a little greener to focus […] The post The Player 2 PixelCast 139 first appeared on Player2.net.au.
