PSP #320: Playing Mekazoo While Watching Fifty Shades of Grey 'Cause I HAVE NO IDEA!

Marc starts off today's show talking about their terrible teeth, having just returned from a visit to the dentist, and then, because Marc apparently hates themselves, talks about the first forty or so minutes of Fifty Shades of Grey because...I got nothing. After all that nonsense, Marc talks about the brand new indie platformer, Mekazoo, which does some things well and some things...not so well. Anyway, handcuff yourself to your desk and listen to the show to hear all the juicy, sexy, shady details or something like that. Cheers!

PSP #319: A White Noise 2 Preview for You, You, and You Too (But Not U2)

If you like horror games, today's show was recorded just for you because, on today's show, Marc previews White Noise 2, an Early Access title from Milkstone Studios, a horror game where you get a chance to play on both sides, as either an investigator searching for tapes, or as the monster that's trying to devour all the investigators before every tape can be found. So, does White Noise 2 deliver frights and delights? I'd love to tell you, but then what incentive would you have to listen to the show, eh. Anyway, give it a listen if you want to hear what Marc thinks and, as always, cheers and enjoy the show!

Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is not too shabby...at least that's what grandpa said

What if Sleeping Beauty was actually a sleeping king? And prince charming was a fiery young lady who just became a knight, desiring nothing but grand adventures? And instead of a kiss, four special ingredients were needed in order to wake the king from his eternal slumber? Well, that's what Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is all about and I've had the pleasure of playing through an early build of the game, collecting the first special ingredient to the shock and surprise of everyone in the kingdom...or at least that's what grandpa told me.

The story of Blossom Tales isn't anything special, but the way it's told gives it a nice little charming kick in the butt as you hear the story through the words of Lily's grandfather, making things up as he goes along, telling his grandchildren about the story of a young knight, also named Lily, as she embarks on her very first adventure. Now, I've only played a small chunk of the game, but, like I said, the story isn't anything new, but it's fun to hear the grandfather chime in every now and again, throwing in a, "That's not how it happened," if you die, with occasional interruptions by Lily and her brother, sometimes allowing you to make decisions that change the game ever so slightly, like choosing what type of enemy you'll fight in a specific area. It's a story I doubt I'll remember in a week's time, but the way it's told was more than enough to keep me engaged as I, Lily, went in search of ingredients to save a king whose name I already forgot.

PSP #318: Girlish Number, Yuri!!! on Ice, and the Best New Anime of Fall 2016

Marc starts off today's show talking about Donald Trump, the election, and all that depressing jazz for way longer than they expected, so, if you want to skip all that and get right to the anime of this episode, skip ahead to 10:37 and you'll be Trump- and election-free. Speaking of anime, Marc talks about their three favorite new series of the fall 2016 anime season: Yuri!!! on Ice, Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari (Poco's Udon World), and Girlish Number, all of which keep Marc excited to see more each and every week. Anyway, that's it and that's all, folks. Cheers and enjoy the show (and some anime too)!

PSP #316: The Second Coming of Skyrim

In today's snazzy little episode, Marc talks all about their return to the world of Skyrim, from the wondrous highs to the murderous lows, eating way too many apple pies while enjoying no more long load times. That's right folks, Skyrim is back with a fresh coat of paint and mods on consoles, hurray, but, honestly, it's all just an excuse to play Skyrim again and what else can I say other than that's a-okay, eh. Cheers and enjoy the show!

In today's special, short episode, Marc goes over upcoming, immediate changes for The Pixelated Sausage Podcast and what people can look forward to from now until the end of time (or until they decide to change things again). In addition to talking about the fresh coat of used paint the podcast is getting, Marc also talks briefly about the awesome little indie game, Xenoraid--which will be hitting Xbox One on November 8th--and the anything-but-indie remaster of Skyrim--spoilers: Skyrim is still Skyrim. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #314: Nintendo Switch / Streamline / Battlefield 1 / Mafia III / Yuri!!! on Ice / Keijoo!!!!!!!! / Backward Compatibility

Once again, a very tired Marc starts off this week's show talking about a handful of movies, from horror-comedies to spaghetti westerns, all while having a bad case of thought dyslexia along the way. Once they've movie-ed themselves out, Marc talks about a smidgen of anime, catching up with a few series they've decided to stick with this season, including the star of the season, Yuri! on Ice. And then, like always, Marc ends with video games, including some more Battlefield 1 and Mafia III chatter, as well as a their thoughts about the Twitch-centric indie, Streamline, but not before touching on the Nintendo Switch. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #313: Battlefield 1 / Gears of War 4 / Mafia III / Manual Samuel / ClassicaLoid

A very tired Marc starts off this week's show talking about a few movies and how Cubs fans have already conceded defeat because Cubs fans are Cubs fans. Once introductions and whatnot are out of the way, Marc talks about a smidgen of anime, talking mostly about how disappointing the fall 2016 season is and how they've dropped four more series. And then, like always, Marc ends with video games, including some heavy hitters like Battlefield 1 and Gears of War 4, as well as a quirky little indie, Manual Samuel. Cheers and enjoy the show!
