I think we need dramatic readings for every comment from now on...
Welcome to another jam-packed edition of Nerds Without Pants! This week, we’re joined by Friend of the Show John Gholson to talk about remaking some of our favorite games. We have a lengthy Consumption Junction segment, and finish things off with the most bombastic Video Game Cage Match so far!
... and here's to 9 more!
It appears PixlBit's anniversary is upon us once again! This time we celebrate the site's final year in the single digits; trucking forward towards a full decade of PixlBit. Looking back, it's been a chaotic and interesting ride full of ups and downs. Over the past few years, I'll admit, it's been generally quiet around here. But with a new year of PixlBit beginning, I feel a renewed drive to push content out to you, our faithful fans and readers. Even in the times where the staff has been quiet, all of you have managed to keep PixlBit afloat with your blogs and comments and strong sense of community. Without you folks, I doubt I'd have the fortitude to continue on after all these years.
Yeah, we're late to the party, I know.
Hey everybody, Nick here. I know PixlBit HQ has been a bit dead lately, but for a while now the site staff and I have had our own private chat and most of our conversations have been insulated to that. A fairly obvious move given the popularity of Discord, was to create a server so that we can invite all of you guys to chat alongside us and enjoy lively events like E3 together. To that point, I've done exactly that.
It's the sequel that no one wanted!
It’s another hefty episode of Nerds Without Pants this week that flirts with the 3-hour barrier. Hey, let it never be said that NWP is a poor value proposition!
Witty comment goes here!
Welcome back to another jam-packed edition of Nerds Without Pants! Technical difficulties can’t keep us down, and we’ve got a lot of fun shenanigans all set up for you, including the introduction of the Mega Buster of Destiny ™, some of Patrick’s worst jokes ever, and more!
Holy crap, PixlBit's now 7!
Well folks, believe it or not, PixlBit turns 7 years old today. Thanks to the hard work of a whole lot of people and all of you fans, we've somehow made it this far. I know some of you have been around from the beginning, others for many years at this point, and I sincerely thank all of you for making PixlBit one of my favorite spots on the internet.
And so is this podcast!
Hey folks! Welcome to another technical issue-laded episode of Nerds Without Pants. Apoligies, but once again the internet has conspired against us, and this episode is not up to our normal standard of quality. Hopefully you stick around though, because there is some good stuff in this episode!
Nick and Chessa made a game and it's gone gold! Also, Steam Greenlight - vote yes (please)!
As some of you may know, Chessa and I have been working on a game for roughly the past year. We became official Wii U developers around September of last year and began the true development cycle of our first game, PixlCross. We've come a long way and as of last week, we officially submitted the game to Nintendo's certification process, Lotcheck!
The staff of PixlBit commemorates five years of the site.
It’s absolutely dumbfounding to think that PixlBit has existed in this world for five years now. I can’t even begin to tell you all how many times Chessa and I considered hanging it up and just moving on with life. But we never did and I’m not sure why that is. The early days were grim at times; visitation was extremely low, the hours invested were high, and my day job was absolutely soul crushing. I guess we always felt there was a light at the end of the tunnel – a point at which it would all pay off. And boy has it.
Upgraded to death.
Not two weeks ago, Nintendo announced a new 3DS cleverly called the New 3DS. It has several extra features, including Micro SD card support and a faster CPU, which means its games won't be compatible with previous 3DS versions. Here's what we think of it:
