The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #070: Where Watch Dogs Delays My Heart

In today's episode, I talk a about the Watch Dogs delay and how it affects next-gen for me (and breaks my heart)--if Ubisoft pulls an "I Am Alive," ditching Chicago...I'M GONNA LOSE IT! I also talk about how I now love the MacBook Air, but still have a few issues, and then lose my mind while singing some crap with a dry mouth at the very end--it's awful.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #069: Surfing on Audio, Gangnam Style

In today's episode, I talk a bit about Audiosurf 2--which I'm liking, but need to spend more time with--and then take some time to remind everyone of the awfulness that is Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion on Xbox 360. I also talk about Girls--which I finally started watching--and my initial impressions of the MacBook Air since a friend is letting me borrow theirs for a few days.

Zen Studios is the king of pinball games and they have just announced a new addition to the Marvel Pinball family at the New York Comic Con: Doctor Strange.

Check out the trailer below.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #068: Guzzling More Gas While Farting Out of My...

In today's episode, I go into more detail about Gas Guzzlers Extreme--which I'm liking way more than I expected to--but start off the show talking about an Xbox LIVE Indie Game called, M.A.C.E., that is quite attractive.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #067: Guzzling Gas and Shooting Apples

Today's episode is mostly about the new combat racer, Gas Guzzlers Extreme, but I also fall down a hole of MacBook Air thoughts and why I think Steam Family Sharing, in its current form, is stupid and practically worthless.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #066: Beyond Bittersweet

Today's episode is bit bittersweet for reasons I'll let you discover by listening to the show, but I do talk about GTA Online more in depth and also my impressions of Beyond: Two Souls based off the demo.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #065: An Indie Buffet

Today's episode is all about indie games, good and bad, and how much I hated the Under the Dome season finale; I also went on a bit of a Disney Infinity tangent at the end for no real reason.

Indie Spotlight: Clark

Clark is a common name for human beings, but Clark, the game, developed by Golden Tricycle, is not a game about a human being, it is a game about a robot that likes solving puzzles; what I'm saying is, Clark is a dumb name for a game about a robot that likes solving puzzles; however, dumb name aside, the game, Clark, is actually quite good.

For whatever reason, I felt like turning on my Ouya and seeing if there was anything worth playing; the first game I played was an awful mobile port that made me almost immediately turn off my Ouya, leaving with no plans of returning for another month if not longer, but then I saw Clark. What stood out right away was Clark's visuals; the game looks good, with more color and variation than I would expect from a robot-themed game. And so, after being impressed by the screenshots, I downloaded the game and was surprised by what happened next.

Indie Spotlight: Reaper — Tale of a Pale Swordsman

As a pale person, I can relate to Reaper — Tale of a Pale Swordsman, but, as someone who's mightiest sword is a butter knife, paleness is where the similarities end; however, now, thanks to the pale-filled Reaper, I can swing a sword like crazy, taking out blobs, knights, and enough bees to kill ten McCauley Caulkins in My Girl.

Reaper is a simple side-scrolling action-RPG with beautiful art that looks great on any device--Reaper is available on the Windows 8 app store, the Mac app store, iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and yes, even Ouya--and plays just as well. As with most action games, the touch controls are not the best, but they work surprisingly well thanks to an understanding that tapping and swiping is better than virtual d-pads and buttons; and, if you pick it up on PC, Mac, or Ouya, Reaper has controller support that works perfect in combat; though, using a controller to navigate menus is a bit funky and I don't recommend it.
