Pixel x Pixel Episode 16

This episode was recorded extra early due to both of your beloved hosts doing some traveling, but it still manages to be an extra jam-packed show! We talk about both of our new book projects (yes, books!), a whole bunch of games, and Marcus goes hard on his love for musicals. Plus, there’s an extra dose of Sony-related news, and an interesting Kickstarter campaign!

We thought it was a slow news period these past two weeks, but we still found plenty to talk about! Marcus gets started on his next game for review, Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, Anne has had enough of Sumikko Gurashi: Atsumare! Sumikko Town, and both share their thoughts on this whole employer health tracking thing. We’ve got lots of movie, game streaming, and VR talk in this episode, too, so sit down with your favorite beverage or strap on those running shoes (or whatever else you like to do when listening to podcasts, really), and enjoy!
