Episode Details

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. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

This week is a very unexpected episode for me. I am going to give you my own impressions after finishing Mixtape. This was a game I previously stated that I have no interest in, but due to the strong reactions it is getting online and strong critical reactions, together with the fact that it was on Game Pass, I gave it a shot and was rather surprised with how I felt about it by the end. Mixtape is a short experience, clocking in at around 3.5 hours. It is truly bizarre to me why this title has sparked such strong discourse online, which really got me thinking about the culture of reviews in the video game industry and I wanted to talk more on that issue as well. Tune in to hear me get a bit unexpectedly fired up about this subject.
