Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week.

Xbox suddenly announced that they will be doing a games showcase presentation, this time a partner preview of upcoming 3rd party titles coming to Xbox platforms. The announcement however, seems to have gone fairly unnoticed as many people didn't even realize this happened until it was already done. This presentation certainly had a couple of interesting announcements and some surprises as well. As expected, there was a big focus on titles that are coming to Game Pass day one, are Xbox Play Anywhere titles, or better yet, are a combination of both! The Xbox Play Anywhere designation certainly has a draw for me since I have the ROG Xbox Ally X! Tune in to hear what I thought was done well during this presentation, and what I felt were the opportunities to improve upon for future.

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

I wanted to share a new story from my D&D experience - this time a very recent experience! Last week I took on the role of a D&D Camp Counsellor for a group of 6 kids between ages 10 - 14 over March break. It was a gruelling experience but a lot of fun too. I have a lot of public play experience as well as running tables of kids, but this was a 5-day campaign arc that I ran for the same group of kids and I came back with a lot of lessons learned and some great gaming memories! I think the kids all left at the end of the week with great gaming memories too and fantastical tales to tell their friends when they return school. Tune to hear how I prepared for this and how the experience actually played out.

I had initially planned to do a different episode this week, but then I started playing Crimson Desert, and shortly thereafter I knew I had to talk about this game. It is the game of the moment right now, and lots of people have very strong opinions on it, both for good and bad. It was a highly anticipated game, and has turned into a very divisive one, as well with a heap of its own controversy. I want to cut through all the controversy and get to the core of my thoughts on this game. It was not really on my radar at all prior to its release, but it has ended up making a huge splash with me. Tune in to hear my impressions with this game so far and why I think that gaming review sites have been all over the place, and why it is so hard to review a game like this at release.
