3. Vince Clarke

Vince Clarke is perhaps the most collaborative 80’s synthpop musician that ever was, having established numerous successful synthpop bands, including Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and Erasure. In this episode, Tony and Gus discuss their appreciation for Clarke’s ability to infuse synthetic songs with deep and visceral emotion. First up is “Ice Machine” by Depeche Mode, a b-side written by Clarke for Depeche Mode’s first single that captures dark and mysterious memories in a pop format. Next is “Softly Over” by Yazoo, an album track written by Clarke in the wake of Yazoo’s breakup that is complemented by singer Alison Moyet’s naive and yearning delivery. Last is “Siren Song” by Erasure, an intimate and ecstasy-filled album track written by Clarke at the height of Erasure’s popularity.

44. The Puzzle Hidden in the Machine

The Pixel Boys played Dungeons and Dragons, and boy do they have a lot to say! The episode opens with a thought experiment involving latency in sound, then lots of D&D, and follow up on optimization vs. player choice. This leads to thoughts on the New Pokémon Snap, which Tony proposes is the “epitome of collectathons.” Alex relates this to puzzles hidden in “the machine” (meaning, the internet). Finally, Tony and Dan give their impressions of the latest PS5 exclusive, Returnal.

36. The 2020 Game Awards

The Pixel Boys review each and every category of the 2020 Game Awards. But before, we have thoughts on what makes a "choose your own adventure," what makes an RPG, a little on Cyberpunk 2077, and our histories with how we create characters in games. Strap in, my friends, this one ran long.

25. The Last of Us Part II... part 2

Tiered The Last of Us Part II spoilers! Check the show notes & chapter markers in your podcast player for timestamps. The boys also discuss big topics around audience member responsibilities, otherness, and discourse with people you disagree with on the internet. Wouldn’t be a TLOU II discussion without it! 😅. Yes, this one ran long. Yes, it’s all being released as one episode even though it’s double length. No, there will be no intermission. Join us!

54. Pokémon is a Weird RPG

Tony finished his first Pokémon game, and it was Emerald! Dan tried to enjoy a holiday weekend. Actually reading the game manual is considered. Alex leads a discussion of how hard skills and soft skills are applied in D&D, and talks about his recently completed first playthrough of Super Mario RPG. Tony and Alex finished Life is Strange True Colors, but Dan is still working on it. Alex finished Deltarune Chapter 2.

63. Prison of Progression

Dan opens the episode strongly with a surprising amount to say about Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, which reminds Tony of a recent rumor that Naughty Dog is working on a fantasy-style game. Then the Pixel Boys quickly devolve into classics such as Elder Scrolls 6, Horizon Forbidden West, and realism in games. The qualities of good competitive play and the effects of money on game design are discussed, leading to a bit of news about Wizards of the Coast purchasing D&D Beyond. The PBs are challenged by media with slow starts, and this leads to an attempt to nail down our game preferences. They wrap with a brief life update from Dan. Recorded on April 18th, 2022.
