August 1, 2016

[su_youtube url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14unAwdRLfk" width="600" height="400" responsive="yes" autoplay="no" class=""] Today I connect DOOM Guy—the nameless protagonist of the DOOM series—with Shy Guy—the cute pajama-ed and Jason masked enemy from the Super Mario Bros. series.

I do the same thing here, except I connect video game topics in strange ways using 6 Degrees of Pixelation.

July 31, 2016

This week I play Kickle Cubicle, a cutsie puzzle game that is, quite frankly, still just as amazing now as I remember it being. This game absolutely holds up. It’s not very challenging (which I like), and offers a bit of variety by adding boss fights. You don’t see that very often with puzzle games.

Yo! Noid: Resurrection Sunday [VIDEO]

July 10, 2016

I play Yo! Noid, a game that didn’t seem at all confusing during the early 90s when everything was weird. Now, though, understanding more about how video game localization works, this game is super duper weird.
