    Monster Hunter Wilds: Nounverb Expansion (ft. CGDannyB & H0b0monkey)

    Monster Hunter Wilds looked like it was going to be one of The Games Of All Time, and then it launched. On today's episode, I'm joined by Danny and Conner, two very different flavors of Monster Hunter player, to talk about where Wilds fell short and what the upcoming (perhaps soon-to-be-revealed) expansion needs to do to win us back. You can follow Danny on most platforms as CGDannyB, the Playlog podcast anywhere you get your podcasts, and Conner wherever he goes as H0b0monkey.

    How Do We Find Hope?

    A raw, unscripted dialogue with the void about the emotional complexities of managing mental health and creating content as the world falls down. No guests on this one, it's 100% personal.

    The Life, Death, and Rebirth of the Licensed Videogame (ft. Charlotte Landale, Matthew Finneman, and Cam Hawkins)

    Miss our panel at PAX East 2026? No you didn't! Licensed videogames have a long and weird history. They ran the quality gamut from shovelware to masterpieces, and filled the libraries of consoles up until they fell out of favor. On this panel, we discuss how videogames based on licensed properties came in and out and back in to fashion over the years.I was joined for this panel by my sister and Castle Bravo cohost Charlotte Landale, my friend and former podmate Matthew Finneman aka Finn, and our good buddy Cam Hawkins. Make sure to follow Charlotte @dollblood.garden, Finn @nolanerdcast.bsky.social, and Cam camfinalmix.bsky.social.

    PAX East 2026 (ft. Charlotte Landale)

    PAX East is upon us once again, and it's time for Pixel Spectrum's first annual show floor report! I'm joined by my sister and Castle Bravo cohost Charlotte Landale to check out games, run and go to some panels, and give folks who didn't attend an idea of what they missed out on and what they can look forward to from the gaming world. You can follow Charlotte on bluesky at dollblood.garden. You can also catch more of both of us together on the Castle Bravo podcast, available on all the usual podcast apps. Note: the panel I ran will not be a part of this log, and will be uploaded separately into the feed in the coming days.

    The Magic of Trading Card Games (ft. Veerender Jubbal)

    Collectible trading card games are a point of strong nostalgia for many, but they don't have to remain a happy memory. In fact, TCGs have been resurging for some time now both in physical and digital formats. We're joined today by writer, critic, journalist, guidesmaker, and card game sicko Veerender Jubbal to learn about how card games can shape our relationships with our communities and maybe get some advice on how to fall back in love with TCGs. You can follow Veerender on bluesky at veerenderjubbal.bsky.social. Keep an eye out there for some cool (as yet unannounced) upcoming projects from him!

    We Need Games Media (ft. Ashley Schofield)

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of Pixel Spectrum! We're joined today by writer, critic, and journalist Ashley Schofield to talk about the ways games media is failing its professionals top-to-bottom, and how that's bad for everyone. With layoffs and lack of opportunities becoming the norm, it rapidly leaves behind a space where only the most well-established have any security, and the void ends up filled by content creator types (well-intentioned or otherwise). You can follow Ashley on bluesky at ashlikeadragon.bsky.social. You can preorder her upcoming book "VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works" today from publisher Lost In Cult before its launch later this year.
