Hunting Pixels

What a way to start off the year, a whole bunch of basically nothing in January and then bam a whole bunch of stuff in February. Between the load of games that are challenging us here at the Hunting Pixels crew to forget our backlog and a load of announcements for coming showcases, we got news that Microsoft was planning on taking Xbox games multi-platform. This was potentially huge news and so Dylan and I sat down to talk about it for just a little bit a discuss what we think this potentially means for the future of the industry.Media Discussed:Lisa FrankensteinVideo Games Discussed:Helldivers 2Final Fantasy IIFinal Fantasy IIIPicks Of The Week:Josh: AURORA - Cure For Me (youtube.com) Dylan: MEDUZA, Hozier - ParadiseAs always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content.Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBop, Twitch - CultureBopJosh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182And finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way.Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible:Justin “Agente Colorado” RuissTonny “Roast Lord” SulmannJeffery “Lars“ SzyartoBren “Incinerator Kuno” WoodhamDylan “Raven Team Leader” MartinAustin “Deimos” Stephens

Every year, it gets this time of year and everyone starts putting out their game of the year nominees and winners and we're no different. However, in the interest of giving you smaller more digestible episodes we've decided that it's more beneficial to break those things up, and as such we're going to have separate shows for separate things. This week's episode will be all about next year. That's right, we're already looking forward to next year. This will be our annual tradition going forward. The basic premise is that we're doing a predictions show which we will tally up every year and the winner will be the king/queen of the podcast for the year. Each Person has come up with 5 personal predictions that we will all either say yes or no to and then tally those points when this episode arrives again next year. There will be one ultimate prediction worth 10 points to those who get it right but minus 15 if they get it wrong. So with all that out of the way, Let's get into it!

So We are here! It has come to this. Hunting Pixels is ready to get to you, the listener, our Game Of The Year! That said, We need to go ahead and explain our system and the ground rules. First, we're using the system that was completely ripped off from Giant Bomb and Let's Fight A Boss and we will be listing the games that we've played and then cutting them one by one until we get to our ultimate winner, the Hunting Pixels Game Of The Fucking Year!!! Now, to qualify for our list, the game had to have been released in a 1.0 release state after December 15th 2022 and before December 16th of 2023. Other than that, any game was fair play.As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content.Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBop, Twitch - CultureBopJosh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182And finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way.Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible:Justin “Agente Colorado” RuissTonny “Roast Lord” SulmannJeffery “Lars“ SzyartoBren “Incinerator Kuno” WoodhamDylan “Raven Team Leader” MartinAustin “Deimos” Stephens

I wish I knew, but let's all be honest... I don't...

Games are a unique medium in that the control is given to the observer. Within this structure, systems and mechanics must be built in order to offer control to the player. As such games must constantly innovate or introduce outright new systems and mechanics at a regular pace. That also sometimes means that good mechanics get left behind. That's what we want to discuss with the topic. What mechanics of old should have stuck around or should, in the modern age, make a come back.Media Discussed: Talk To Me Euphoria Video Games Discussed: Final Fantasy XVI Dead By Daylight Cyberpunk 2077 Picks Of The Week: Josh: The Making of IMMORTALITY - Noclip Documentary - YouTube Dylan: Wake Up Hate (Glide Remix): The Cure As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content.Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBop, Twitch - CultureBopJosh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182And finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way.Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible: Justin “Up Up” Ruiss Tonny “Down Down” Sulmann Jeffery “Left Right“ Szyarto Bren “Left Right” Woodham Dylan “B A” Martin Austin “Start” Stephens

The year, until relatively recently, has been a little light on the massive AAA releases that everyone clamors for and has mostly been held down by a ton of little indie titles. While there were some big titles sprinkled through the first 5 months of the year, They have been few and far in between. That got us thinking, with AAA games having their time to shine, when do Indie games really get any? There seems to always be heaps of praise on games like Resident Evil 4 Remake and The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom and when Game Of The Year comes around they'll undoubtedly be sitting at the tops of most people's lists. This is unfortunate for several reasons, namely because indie games can very often be better and more innovative than the big titles that win the awards. Hell we gave Elden Ring our nod last year (which we fully stand behind by the way), but our top 10 featured the likes of Immortality, Citizen Sleeper, Neon White, Stray, and Cult Of The Lamb. So We thought a great way to answer that question would be to talk about why Indie games are getting their moment in the sun right now and where they can go and maybe even what indie games are going to enter our lists at GOTY this year.Media Discussed:HeatVideo Games Discussed: Destiny 2: Lightfall Dead By Daylight The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Picks Of The Week: Josh: HEAT - Trailer - (1995) - HQ - YouTube Dylan: Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden (2023) As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content.Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBopJosh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182, Twitch - CultureBopDylan: Twitter - @OMDizzyTV, Instagram - @omdizzy, Twitch - OMDizzy, YouTube - @OMDizzy, Austin: Twitter - @bigpappaplays, Instagram - @bigpappaplays, Twitch- @bigpappaplays, TikTok- @bigpappaplaysAnd finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way.Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible: Justin “Neon Violet” Ruiss Tonny “Blue Knight” Sulmann Jeffery “Krobus“ Szyarto Bren “Ori” Woodham Dylan “Hornet” Martin Austin “B-12” Stephens

Similar to movies, Video Games often get blasted into the mainstream and achieve massive success. Other times they enter with a whimper and die out before anyone has had a chance to know what they're about. There is, however, a third, and often compelling, option. Some games come out with little fan fare and eventually grow a following. This can be seen in the Dark Souls series,  many of the Suda51 creations, and Rockstar's Table Tennis. So what makes these games so beloved by those that play them and why did they never achieve the mainstream success that some believe they deserved?Media Discussed: Evil Dead Rise Super Mario Bros Movie Video Games Discussed: Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered Collection Resident Evil 4 Destiny 2 Lightfall Megaman Battle Network Collection Picks Of The Week: Josh: A Thorough Look At Resident Evil - YouTube Austin: Fit For a King- Deathgrip Dylan: The Entire Story of Destiny (Youtube) As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content.Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBopJosh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182, Twitch - The_BebopmanDylan: Twitter - @OMDizzyTV, Instagram - @omdizzy, Twitch - OMDizzy, YouTube - @OMDizzy, Austin: Twitter - @bigpappaplays, Instagram - @bigpappaplays, Twitch- @bigpappaplays, TikTok- @bigpappaplaysAnd finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way.Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible: Justin “Numberman” Ruiss Tonny “Gutsman” Sulmann Jeffery “Skullman“ Szyarto Sean “Dustman” O'Keeffe Jr. Bren “Ring” Woodham Dylan “Roll” Martin Austin “Protoman” Stephens

In recent years there have been a deluge of social media posts regarding "cozy media". There are many a video about content creators and their favorite movies to stay in and curl up with.

So We are here! It has come to this. Hunting Pixels is ready to get to you, the listener, our Game Of The Year! That said, We need to go ahead and explain our system and the ground rules. First, we're using the system that was completely ripped off from Giant Bomb and Let's Fight A Boss and we will be listing the games that we've played and then cutting them one by one until we get to our ultimate winner, the Hunting Pixels Game Of The Fucking Year!!! Now, to qualify for our list, the game had to have been released in a 1.0 release state after December 15th 2021 and before December 16th of this year. So games such as Grounded and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion are completely acceptable for this list, but games such as Phasmophobia and Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon are not. Other than that, any game was fair play.As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content. Culture Bop: Twitter - @Culture_Bop, Instagram - @culture_bop , Facebook - @TheCultureBop, Youtube - Culture Bop Josh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182, Twitch - The_Bebopman Dylan: Twitter - @OMDizzyTV, Instagram - @omdizzy, Twitch - OMDizzy, YouTube - @OMDizzy Austin: Twitter - @bigpappaplays, Instagram - @bigpappaplaysTwitch- @bigpappaplays, TikTok- @bigpappaplays And finally, if you're looking to support the podcast or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way. Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible: Justin “Disappointed in Dylan” Ruiss Tonny “Was Nice to Josh” Sulmann Jeffery “Almost Killed the Challenge“ Szyarto Blake “Should Speak More” Graham Gilbert “Power Wash Advocate” Kitchens Sean “Doesn't Chime In” O'Keeffe Jr. Bren “Encouraged Being Nice” Woodham Dylan “Created a Horrible Challenge” Martin Austin “Will Succeed in the Challenge”  Stephens

Every year, it gets this time of year and everyone starts putting out their game of the year nominees and winners and we're no different. However, in the interest of giving you smaller more digestible episodes we've decided that it's more beneficial to break those things up, and as such we're going to have separate shows for separate things. This week's episode will be all about next year. That's right, we're already looking forward to next year. This will be our annual tradition going forward. The basic premise is that we're doing a predictions show which we will tally up every year and the winner will be the king/queen of the podcast for the year. Each Person has come up with 5 personal predictions that we will all either say yes or no to and then tally those points when this episode arrives again next year. There will be one ultimate prediction worth 10 points to those who get it right but minus 15 if they get it wrong. On top of that, Dylan has giving us our 2023 podcast challenge!

Video games have combat baked deep into the core of their DNA. Whether that be Mario evading or squishing goombas or Call Of Duty making warfare something fun to play. At this point video game violence is something that gets talked about way too much, but one aspect of that isn't talked about enough. I'm, of course, talking about those killing instruments themselves. So with that said, let's do what video games do best and battle out the best and most iconic video game weapons ever put to code.

Video Games do a ton of things really great. They tell great stories. They give us power fantasies. They give us incredible music. And they also give us unforgettable images. Part of that is due to the incredible place that graphics have come to, but even more importantly, the art design. Art Design is one of those aspects of games that gets overlooked in video games and while we have talked about it before, we haven't really gotten into games that have incredible art direction and that's what we're going to do today!Media Discussed: Chainsaw Man (manga) Mob Psycho 100 Cyberpunk Edgerunners Video Games Discussed: Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 OLED Switch review Final Fantasy VIII Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel Elden Ring Picks Of The Week: Josh: How Mother Miranda Rewrote Resident Evil - YouTube Austin: stiff socks  Dylan: Edge of the Earth - HBO Max As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content. Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBop Josh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182, Twitch - The_Bebopman Dylan: Twitter - @OMDizzyTV, Instagram - @omdizzy, Twitch - OMDizzy, YouTube - @OMDizzy,  Austin: Twitter - @bigpappaplays, Instagram - @bigpappaplays, Twitch- @bigpappaplays, TikTok- @bigpappaplays And finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way. Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible: Justin “Faraday” Ruiss Tonny “Maine” Sulmann Jeffery “Pilar“ Szyarto Blake “Tanaka” Graham Gilbert “Gloria” Kitchens Sean “David” O'Keeffe Jr. Bren “Dorio” Woodham Dylan “Becca” Martin Austin “Lucy”  Stephens

We did Xbox and now, we're tackling Playstation! While Sony has been the dominant leader in the console space for roughly the last five to six years, in recent memory, they have seemingly fumbled the ball repeatedly. There has been consistent mishandling of messaging, bungling of price points, and a seeming general lack of creativity coming from the Sony owned company. So what happened? Where are we sitting now? And possibly, most importantly, where is Sony headed in the near future? On this very special episode of the Hunting Pixels, I and special guests, Justin Ruiss and Shea Layton answer those very questions and more. As always you can find us on social media for all things Culture Bop, Hunting Pixels, and the Culture Bop family of content. Culture Bop: Instagram - @culture_bop, Youtube - youtube.com/c/CultureBop Josh: Twitter - @TheBebopman182, Instagram - @bebopman182, Twitch - The_Bebopman Dylan: Twitter - @OMDizzyTV, Instagram - @omdizzy, Twitch - OMDizzy, YouTube - @OMDizzy,  Austin: Twitter - @bigpappaplays, Instagram - @bigpappaplays, Twitch- @bigpappaplays, TikTok- @bigpappaplays And finally, if you're looking to suppizzle the podcizzle or any of the endeavors that we're undertaking as Culture Bop, then go to Patreon.com/culturebop and toss us a pledge, we're offering some very cool perks and once we start hitting our goals even more content will be on its way. Special Shout Out To Our Patrons For Making This Podcast Possible: Justin “Wallbreaker” Ruiss Tonny “Archer Queen” Sulmann Jeffery “Inferno Dragon“ Szyarto Blake “Archers” Graham Gilbert “Fire Spirit” Kitchens Sean “Ice Wizard” O'Keeffe Jr. Bren “Fireball” Woodham Dylan “Royal Giant” Martin Austin “Princess” Stephens
