Pixel Revolt: Episode 2

Editor's note: Episode two of the Bitmob community-created podcast Pixel Revolt is up now, download links after the 'Read more.' -Demian

The Pixel Revolt crew is back for another dive into the Bitmob community. Derek Lavigne, Jeff Grubb, and Brett Bates return and try to weather the storm after having a community article pulled out from under them by the Mobcast (we're so fighting).

Here's a rundown of what we have in store this week.

Section 1 - As always, in the spirit of the Mobcast, each of us brings one community article to the table to highlight and discuss. Here are the articles we chose this week:

Characters That Linger - Jasmine Maleficent Rea

What Makes You a Fanboy? - Frank Anderson

Digital Distribution: Are We Really Ready for It? - Matthew Erazo

Section 2 - Then we go right into the answers to the community question for this episode: "What is your favorite 'holy crap' gaming memory," as well as share our own. This question was originally posed by community member Trevor Hinkle.

Our question for next episode is going to be "What setting (time and location) would you most like to see a videogame take place in?" For instructions on how to get involved you can go here.

To cap off the show, the guys discuss the final details of the first ever Bitmob Community Meet Up in San Francisco this friday, July 10th. A link to the Facebook event with all the details can be found below.

Glad you enjoyed my submission! The Mr. Big battle can be found on YouTube if you want to see what I'm talking about. I would argue that modern games still have their share of "holy crap" moments. The first time I played BioShock (specifically the PSN demo) I was in awe from the very start. The plane crash, finding the bathysphere, seeing Rapture for the first time - these were all stunning moments that had my mouth agape. Even more humble (or mediocre if you want to be negative) games are capable of rising to the occasion. I was taken aback when I first saw San Francisco burning in Resistance 2, even though it was just a backdrop to the action rather than an interactive event.

Whoa... got to this podcast a bit late this week and saw that you talked about an article I wrote! Thanks! You probably did a better job than we did on the podcast I am on - on http://www.Overdos3.com - but my excuse is that I was hosting for the first time and was a bit like a deer in headlights. Thanks for highlighting my article! It has been a pretty crappy week, so this was the weekend pick-up that I needed.
