Hello hello! This week we have a lot of news to go over. First, we discuss the upcoming toys-to-life game LEGO Dimensions, which everyone feels pretty cynical about. We also talk about YouTube's new hub, YouTube Gaming, which curates video game-related YouTube channels. Pixelkin has one! It's pretty awesome. Most of all we're excited and terrified about PAX Prime coming up. This is Seattle's big gaming convention, and we'll be covering it a lot this year. After a dive into that, we talk with Lisa Jaech about how she grew up watching her big brother game. We also talk about the ways that kids game imaginatively. Lisa used to do some pretty whacky stuff with Diddy Kong Racing. As always, email your questions to hello@pixelkin.org, and check out pixelkin.org for our PAX updates!
