The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #123: Game Club #1, Part 2 - A Boy and His Blob (Wii)

In today's episode, the third episode of the A Boy and His Blob Game Club, I break; yes, I am broken and it is all because of @Lunchbox700 (and, I guess, because of the game too). If you want to hear my broken ass, this is the episode for you, and, I'm about 99% sure that the next Game Club game will be To the Moon.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #121: A Bit of Original Sin in Proteus

In today's episode, I talk about Divinity: Original Sin, an old-school turn-based action-RPG with interesting co-op ideas currently in alpha--available now via Steam Early Access--and a bit of Proteus--which is an odd game with an interesting visual style and fantastic music; though, you probably already know that by now.

The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief review: not exactly masterful

I didn't know what to expect when I first started playing The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief; I knew the game was a point-and-click adventure, and that I would be able to see the story from both sides--as both cat and mouse--but that was all I knew. What I wish I knew right from the start was that the entire experience would be tedious and not enjoyable, with only a few redeeming factors that aren't enough to make The Raven worth playing. (You're right, you don't have to keep reading this review.)

I like a good adventure game, but it's hard to get invested in an adventure game when the controls are so bad that the character you control decides to walk in a circle or back and forth down a hallway when you want him to move to the side or anywhere besides the same stupid hallway. Every ten or so minutes, the controls got in my way and took me out of the story, leaving me with one question: Why am I still playing? The answer is simple: I received the game for review and needed to finish it to feel comfortable writing this here review. In addition to the bad controls, the static camera was also problematic as it occasionally didn't change when my character moved off-screen, forcing me to spin the left analog stick like a crazy person until the game realized its misstep. Also, the brightness level seemed low and it wasn't a problem with my TV.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #120: Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

In today's episode, I talk about The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief in-depth--my review will be posted tomorrow or possibly later tonight--and, if you listened to yesterday's Pixelated Radio, you already know where this podcast is going. Once The Raven is out of the way, I talk about The Spectacular Now--a movie written by the same people who wrote 500 Days of Summer.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #119: Game Club #1, Part 1 - A Boy and His Blob (Wii)

In today's episode, the second episode of the A Boy and His Blob Game Club, I talk about the end of World 1 and the entirety of World 2, talking incoherently at times since I recorded this way early in the morning. I was excited to get back to the game after my first session, but, after playing some more, well, let's just say all that changed real fast.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #118: Marvelling at LEGO and April's Oddly-Shaped Butt

In today's episode, I talk about LEGO Marvel a bit more, having just finished it, and then talk about the unsurprising disappointment that is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows after playing more thanks to the 'Countdown to 2014' sale; also, April's butt looks really weird. After that, I end with Lone Survivor--a very good military movie based on true events.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #117: There Has Been a Death in the [Podcasting] Family

In today's episode, I talk about my eventful weekend, which started with a slice of surprisingly nice OkCupid bread, was then followed with a thick slab of equipment-failing meat (not sausage), and ended with a moldy piece of depressing death bread.

In today's episode, the first episode of the first Game Club for the first game--A Boy and His Blob--is finally here, but first, quench your thirst. I go into detail about what I love, hate, and hope for as we all move further into the game, finishing World 2 by next Thursday. Also, if you stick around through the entire show, a very special guest makes an appearance--someone I may start up a new show with (and can't hear their own stupid cell phone)--so be sure to listen to the whole episode if you don't want to be left in the dark.

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #115: Dungeon of the Endless, The End

In today's episode, I talk about Dungeon of the Endless, an interesting rogue-like with a bit of tower defense that takes some getting used to; it did, however, grow on me after a bit of trial and error. I also talk about Steam machines and how I don't think they're the greatest idea.
