This week's double-sized issue is twice the PB & Jason you'll ever be!
When one thinks "PB & Jason," one likely thinks of sandwiches, yes. Second in mind comes a wonderful little podcast starring one Jason Ross, of about 30-40 minutes a week, and maybe just a little extra. This week's PB & Jason defies all expectations, offering twice as much of both PB and Jason as normal! Wow!

Let PixlBit get you up to speed on all things Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2!
Final Fantasy is one of the most celebrated series in video game history. It spans 14 epic games across five console generations and is loved by fans around the world. But the funny thing about Final Fantasy is the fact that each adventure takes place in a completely different world with new lands to explore, party members to meet and villains to defeat. The only time a Final Fantasy game has continued its story was with the spinoff of FF X, which was given the awkward-but-accurate name of Final Fantasy X-2. That changes now, with the divisive Final Fantasy XIII getting a direct sequel on January 31.
Classic action-platforming with a 3D twist.
While not many have had the opportunity to play the Virtual Boy, Renegade Kid’s latest work is oddly reminiscent of Nintendo’s misfit system. Back when the Virtual Boy launched, it touted its special 3D capabilities; these boiled down to little more than multiple viewing planes, which gave the illusion of 3D. The most memorable games used these multiple planes to create deeper platforming experiences. Taking a cue from these experiences, Mutant Mudds allows players to jump between the current plane, background, and foreground.

A Good Ol' Sit Down About Games
This week is a little different from the rest. Seeing how it’s been awhile since the four of us have gotten together, we decided to talk about what we’ve been playing. While the discussion starts out simple enough, we manage to stumble upon some interesting topics along the way.
