Pixel Revolt — Episode 18
Pixel Revolt is now of legal age, folks — and we make it through the entire show without a single bad joke about it. Community member Michael Rousseau joins us this week for discussions on the necessity of knowing gaming history and whether skill or story drives us to game, and for fresh looks at the age-old debates about review scores and whether games are comparable to other forms of media. Also, your favorite video game facial hair and PAX East meet-up plans!
