Pixel x Pixel Special: Saya no Uta

Once in a while, your co-hosts play the same game and have things to say about it – thus warranting an extra special episode! For our second special, we talk about developer Nitro+’s Saya no Uta, aka Song of Saya, thanks to the recent re-release. If you’re interested in the game and don’t want to get spoiled, rest assured, you can listen to the intro to hear our general opinions before the spoiler section. After that, we take a deep dive into the various endings, themes, and comparisons with Nitro+ Chiral’s sweet pool.

September 2019 Community Game-Along: Sports Games

9 / 2 / 199 / 3 / 19

In some places, September means the start of the new school year, but here at Chic Pixel, it means it’s time for another Community Game-Along! This month, we’re doing another suggestion from the Chic Pixel Pals Discord: sports games!

Sports games are not usually a genre I personally gravitate towards, but that’s why the Community Game-Along themes are so great! It’s the perfect time to try a game you wouldn’t normally play, or check something off your backlog. Plus, there’s such a huge range of sports games, you’re bound to find something you enjoy!

Madfest Brisbane 2019 Recap

8 / 30 / 198 / 30 / 19

If you’ve been listening to the Pixel x Pixel podcast (and if you’re not, you should!), you’ll know that I’ve frequently lamented the fact that I haven’t been to a geek convention in a long time. Well, back in May, I fixed that!

I had the opportunity to go to the Madman Anime Festival, or Madfest, in Brisbane as a media attendee, and I spent both the Saturday and Sunday (May 25-26) seeing everything the convention had to offer. This was my first time attending any Madfest convention, and though it was smaller than I expected (just one hall in the Brisbane Convention Centre), it was packed full of fun!
