You guys remember when it was normal for movies to run under two hours? No? Well, get off of my goddamn lawn! Um... what we
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 191](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-191/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 191 One of these days, we're going to stop fretting about the future of videogames. One of these days. But probably not this day. What good we can do, perhaps, is to thumb our noses at the slow progress of English evolution and treat videogame as the compound noun that we

While we watch July slide slowly towards August and then the eventual avalanche of new game releases, some of us have decided to take cover on a small island, guarding a giant chest full of shiny trinkets and being perpetually buzzed on watered-down rum.
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 189](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-189/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 189 Occasionally, over the life of the PixelCast, we have been known to revisit topics. There are perennial ones, such as reactions to reward shows and personal GOTY discussions, but occasionally we may dip into a wider pool of discussion for a second time. Usually, there would be at least a

For everyone else,

We didn't know that when we recorded this, though

Did you know that leprechaun is a really weird and difficult word to spell? Stereotypes! Whatever the case, Tim is back from Ireland where, apparently, the coffee is weak (serious talk, Ireland: we need to address this) and the whiskey* strong (you do you; water of life and

That one bit of gameplay design that a game can hang its hat on and say, "Hey, isn't this bloody cool?" That is what the team is talking about this week: those gameplay mechanics that have stuck in our heads
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 183](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-183/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 183 What if hardware got a bit more powerful, but the production on games visuals didn't advance far beyond Hollywood's year of the apocalypse, 2012? As it turns out, we would miss out on some fine-detail advancements and lighting bounces, but things could still look pretty spectacular. That's what this episode

After traveling to and from from Heaven knows where, Hewso has reappeared in front of a microphone, ready to record... whatever silly topic we decide to have him record, I guess.

Or is is all just on fire releasing obnoxious fumes over unreasonable
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 180](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-180/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 180 Really, if things were more logical and less tied to the soft power of American and British pop-cultural influence, if Australia were to only succumb to Halloween in a sensible way then it is around about now that we should be eyeing the finest-looking pumpkins. At least Capcom is on
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 179](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-179/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 179 Fun fact: while coffee itself is in fact a dehydrating, the amount of water added to your standard cut means that any diuretic effect is rendered basically meaningless.

- [The Player 2 PixelCast 176](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-176/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 176 Well, that didn't take long. We thought we could at least get into the first recording of January of a new year before the world leveled up being an absolute disaster, but here we are. Happy new year, we guess?

- [The Player 2 PixelCast 174](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-174/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 174 Bells are ringing, snow is... definitely not falling, and something is in the air. It may be magic; it may also be cannabis. Honestly, who can say? In any case, there is no need to get high just yet, though, as Santa's evil twin is still a couple of weeks
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 173](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-173/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 173 A nagging voice on my shoulder says that we may have said a thing or two on this episode that been proven to be extremely dumb since recording.

- [The Player 2 PixelCast 170](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-170/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 170 Somehow, some way, we managed to record a fairly short episode! What discipline! What focus! We jest, of course.

In fact, we made it just before recording started in earnest. Is it a bad look? Maybe.

- [The Player 2 PixelCast 168](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-168/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 168 We did it, we managed to make a nice, svelte podcast that comes in at (just) under an hour!

With that in mind, welcome

With several months having now passed since its release, we figured that

Despite this episode being recorded a full week ahead of the typical schedule, we're still able
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 162](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-162/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 162 Somewhere on the wind there is a whisper that a new Nintendo is out in the wild now. You'd barely guess it, though, which feels extra strange considering that it's setting new sales records already. Availability, we guess. Anyway, that's a long way of saying that the Switch 2 is

That's the sound of everything being too damn expensive! Seriously, it's getting to the point where Tim is contemplating sending eggs to the U.S. for profit to fix what buying a PS5 Pro did to his savings. Never mind that those consoles have just

Everybody knows about it and is already talking about it, you say? Well... would it really hurt to let an additional four people into your eardrums to reflect on the floodgates of Switch 2 opening up and rambling on about what

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.

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

Yes, mentioning it here where he can

Fine choice of city; questionable choice of behaviour. In any case, this is an unusual episode in the sense that

Ahem. Sorry. To strain this into a truly tortured metaphor, some games are big, some are little, and for a sizable part of the 90s they mostly came in cardboard boxes. Nintendo didn't give that shit up until

Or maybe not, but there is some talk about music. Soundtracks, specifically. This is more a jukebox kind of a thing than it is about carefully composed scores.

Were either of those consoles truly 128 bit machines? The answer to those questions is no. Also, that answer doesn't really matter.

Player 2 members are just falling like (very handsome and/or beautiful, obviously) flies at the moment! As such, we've ended up with another two man show. At least we had Hewso's veteran leadership
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 088](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-088/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 088 A bit of an odd one, this fortnight. A mix of Tim forgetting about an encroaching holiday season and everyone (both at Player 2 and, seemingly, the rest of the entire world) being sick, we ended up recording early with a skeleton crew. That is to say, Ken showed up
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 087](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-087/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 087 Food. Seriously, how good is it? This week's host Matt is all about food. Cooking, preparing, eating. Food is life. So with Matt in charge and really wanting to talk about food after spending the day cooking an American 4th of July feast, that is what the team did. Although

Nobody covering it seems to have gotten doxed, either, so that's an added bonus. While following everything was a little draining, many folk at Player 2 did their darndest. Of course,
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 085](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-085/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 085 E3 is dead! Long live E3! Surely enough, E3 is insisting that it is in fact not dead, but as stubborn as those cries are, the voice behind them is weak and we're pretty sure also coming from an UCU room. The season, however, is looking to live on. Sony

So strange, in fact, that editor-man himself, Matt Hewson, has had to come back down to Earth from whatever satellites he's been bouncing around to try and make heads and/or tails of it all. Whoever thought that you might offload such respectable IP as Deus Ex

Be warned, however, as Tim has

They've been sitting on the sofa (or, erm, at a desk) and playing videogames over the past couple of weeks, or at least they were
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 080](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-080/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 080 We're coming in slim 'n light, here. After a few episodes got a bit away from us in terms of length, we're really reigning things in again here. It's probably just a one-off product of circumstance, mind. Tim and Ken found themselves alone, mics set nice and low and uncomfortably

At the very least, he's back for this episode to talk about playing games before his wrist is slashed open and all of his tendons knitted together into a slippery, wet skipping rope. Or possibly just more mundane surgery. One or the other. Appropriately, though, he

It's been a wild ride, at once too fast, yet also far too long.

Depends on where you live, I suppose. The point, then, is that the year is coming to a close and (at least for those who have taken appropriate precautions) the world is starting to open up a bit. Tim could even theoretically

As is something of a tradition, as many Player 2 writers as we could find jammed themselves into the Audio Technica booth to record an episode of the PixelCast and talk about all the weird, wild and wonderful things
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 019](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-019/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 019 Death is such an integral part of gaming. From the infamous "You Died" screen in the Souls games to the multiple life systems of classic platformers, death has always been a key mechanic in any game experience. But what does it all mean? Why has it become the default result
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 018](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-018/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 018 Being a part of the games media has its benefits for sure. There is the endless supply of both Mountain Dew and Doritos to sustain us along with the general scorn of online trolls that feeds the fire in our hearts to continue writing about the games we love. But
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 17](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-17/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 17 Wallowing in nostalgia is fun right? Remembering the days gone by is a pleasant way to wast a few hours. But sometimes it is done with a purpose and in the latest episode of the PixelCast, that purpose is to shine the light on forgotten classics. So Host Tim Henderson
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 16](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-16/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 16 Don't you just love it when a whopping big games conference comes along and saves you all the trouble of having to think of a podcast topic? I know we do. Gamescom's opening conferences have been and gone the P2 crew have pulled them apart for your entertainment. Join Podcast
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 015](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-015/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 015 You can get it driving, you can it flying, you can get it catching the train. As a matter of fact, I've got it now. A hard-earned urge to play games needs a small portable but powerful system and that system is the Switch... or the Vita... or the DS.
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 014](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-014/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 014 Being late to the party can sometimes suck, but sometimes it is actually a good thing. Away from the hype of launch dates and PR campaigns, true appreciation can often be found. In this episode of the Player 2 Podcast, host Matt leads Sarah and Shaun through some of the
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 013](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-013/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 013 It is Dry July and what better way to celebrate than with a new episode of the P2 Podcast entirely focused on booze? Tonight our brewmaster Tim leads a motley crew of red wine connoisseur Adam and alcohol-free Ken on a journey through video game-themed cocktails. Crazy concoctions are magically
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 012](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-012/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 012 It's over! E3 is done and dusted! For the year at least, although feel free to throw around your theories about how much longer it can last for. Not a bad show in spite of Sony's absence, though, and so we brought in Julian Rizzo-Smith to share his thoughts on
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 011](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-011/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 011 Can you smell that? That scent of desperation mixed with salesmanship mixed with Lynx deodorant. That my friends is the smell of hype and considering the time of year, that smell is wafting everywhere. It is E3 time and time for the biggest companies on the planet to sell us
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 010](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-010/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 010 Can you hear that? That, my friends, is the hype train a-coming and you'd best get out of its way before it runs you over. It is almost E3 time and that means an E3 podcast. Hosted by Ken Lee, this episode sees him lead Matt, Paul and Shaun (on
- [Player 2 PixelCast 009](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/player-2-pixelcast-009/) - Player 2 PixelCast 009 Talk about good timing, here we are with a Pixelcast about video game movies and Mortal Kombat gets announced and will be even filming in Australia! Of course, we didn't know that when we recorded this cast so I guess we will seem out of date once again, our curse it
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 008](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-008/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 008 Mortal Kombat 11 has just been released so it must be time for another discussion about violence in video games right? Well before you start groaning know that this isn't the usual morning TV style rant about how it is destroying our fragile children's minds. No, our panel, consisting of
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 007](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-007/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 007 It is amazing what can happen between recording a podcast and releasing it. Take this episode for instance. The crew consisting of host Tim, Matt, Hope and Ken got together to look into the future and talk about what the next-gen of gaming will look like and not 24 hours
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 006](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-006/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 006 So Tim can't write his usual witty post about how this podcast came together so I am filling in. Usually not a problem, I am the Editor after all and one of my superpowers is talking bullshit for days. However, in this case, I am actually in Bali right now
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 005](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-005/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 005 It is somewhat appropriate that this one is arriving late - this is, it turns out, a podcast about heated trash that slowly stinks the room until only a handful of people who really (and, to be fair, you could say rightfully) want a higher quality bag remain. The story
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 004](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-004/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 004 Recorded in the middle of the longest tunnel in Australia, the fourth Player 2 PixelCast is brought to you by Ken Lee and his crew of merry men. Those men being Adam Rorke and Terrence Jarrad. There may or may not have been restraint shown with regard to chatting about
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 003](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-003/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 003 Headed up again, as most odd-numbered episodes will be, by Tim - I can't tell my neck from my chin - Henderson, the third P2 PixelCast is largely about Nintendo. Because, you know, that last direct that happened recently actually turned out to be pretty good. Like, roughly 534.76783% better
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 002](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-002/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 002 The thunder and rain and lightning tried to stop us, but we persevered and so we bring you the second Player 2 PixelCast on schedule. Okay, that may sound exceedingly dramatic, but Hewso did lose power to his home just before it was time to record. This was a slight
- [The Player 2 PixelCast 001](https://www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-player-2-pixelcast-001/) - The Player 2 PixelCast 001 Wait, what? What is this? Player 2 already has a podcast! Well, yeah, now there's offspring... or something. Adopted offspring may be the most appropriate term here, actually. Maybe you've heard the PixelCast before and maybe you haven't either way, it lives at Player 2 now, so everything is getting
