So, yeah, I kind of forgot today was an important day until like five minutes ago...
Hello faithful PixlBit fans! It's been quite a while since I've had a chance to address you all, but today is as good a day as any seeing as how it's a momentous occasion and all. For all you newcomers, September 24 is PixlBit's birthday and this year we celebrate our fourth!
New features and more importantly, new staff members!
First and foremost, a happy July 4th to all of my fellow American PixlBit friends! I hope you've all enjoyed this fine holiday with friends and family. Despite the holiday, I've got a bit of news I'd like to share with you all. Last night we onboarded six new PixlBit staff members that you should already know from our fine community!
What will the label of the first official 8Bit Beer look like? You decide!
[UPDATE: The people have spoken! Due to community input, we've added a fourth option! Unfortunately this means that the poll has to be reset - so if you already voted come back and do it again!]
Due to the move, the site will go down for just a few short hours tomorrow morning.
Howdy everyone! To start, I just wanted to say a quick sorry for my absence over the past couple days. It's been quite hectic in the DiMola household as we are in the process of making a cross country move from Florida to New York. Believe it or not, packing and moving a whole house with two small children is not the easiest thing in the world to do. Thankfully though, this part of our voyage is now complete. The next step, while the easiest for my family, is going to cause a small hiccup for you folks.
New features incoming!
Howdy PixlBit friends! As you know, the site is in need of a few upgrades to improve its usability. As such, I've been working hard to roll these features out as quickly as possible. Today's changelog isn't too hefty, but I think it's a good starting point for some of the bigger stuff coming down the line.
Welcome to our newest YouTube channel featuring our very own original content.
Yes, Borderlands 2 is in full swing.
Well, it's official. Nick and Chessa now have their copy of Borderlands 2 and have spent quite a bit of time online with fellow PixlTalker, Jason Ross, hunting vaults. Joaquim, despite not having Borderlands 2, still joins in on the Borderlands fun with his GOTY copy of the original game. The crew serves up some comparisons of the two games, talks their experiences with both, and for good measure, Nick even throws in his 2 cents on the latest from Team Ninja, Dead or Alive 5.
A note from the Director and Co-Owner, Nick DiMola.
Well, here we are again. Today, PixlBit celebrates its 3rd Anniversary, an achievement I'm quite proud of. A little more than three years ago, Chessa and I poured our heart and soul into the creation of this website. Built from nothing, PixlBit slowly secured its place in the gaming media, and is now the site that stands before you. We've had ups and downs, several rewrites, and many staff members, but somehow we've made it this far and there's no stopping us now.
For months, it wasn't possible to buy new Nintendo hardware directly from the online retailer.
Up until yesterday, Nintendo and Amazon were in an unspoken and unannounced feud. For months, the online superstore has not stocked or sold Nintendo hardware directly, but today the cold war appears to have ended. Amazon is now offering the Nintendo 3DS XL, a previously unavailable item, directly from their warehouses.
