Reviews, news, interviews, tall tales and small ideas! This is Cardboard Pixels, the magazine-style podcast for table-flipping, joystick-waggling, dice-chucking, boss-beating, card-drafting, lag-blaming, world-building, treasure-hunting, nerd hearts everywhere!
It's episode 6 and this time we talk Runescape Dragonwilds, We look at video game foundations that have crumbled away and we talk console wars.
We also welcome Disney animator turned live action director Richard Bazlet to the desert island!
I've just realised there's a distinct lack of board games this ep....it's still a good one though!

The Joyfully Regretful Midnight Hour One
Episode 5 is alive!
This time out, we're going headlong into warfare, 1980s style, with The Lords of Midnight! We have zero regrets about reviewing the board game Deep Regrets. We shiver at the memory of a forgettable midnight launch for a forgettable bit of Xbox tech. We get immersive with board games, and we welcome a very normal, everyday gamer to the Desert Island.
It's the magazine show with the big nerd heart, and it's ready for your ears.

The Narrative-Driven Walking Shoes One
In Episode 4, we're feeling adventurous!
We talk about the stories from games driven by things outside the single-player narrative, we review the heavy narrative of board game loveliness, Cozy Stickerville, we get our Big Walk shoes on to take a look at what House House did next, and we strand games designer Astrozombies Jorge on the Desert Island!
All this and a new voice for you! Holy...um, new voice, Batman!
Ashe makes his Carboard Pixels debut with a new feature all about showing some love to the dustiest corners of the Steam Library - it's Bottom of the Barrel - the title, not the feature itself, that's pretty great.
Sit back, feet up - unless you're driving - and let's do this...

The Deep Diving Athletic One
Episode 3 is here, and it's longer! Not necessarily better, but at least it will be mediocre for more minutes. That's progress!
On this one, we remember getting kicked out of classes to play Football Manager...sort of. We dive deep with Dave the Diver, we go loopy with a collection of Magical Athletes, we get surprised by the Nintendo Switch, and we strand Twitch streaming legend MrSteJ on the desert island and task him to choose some games both good and bad.
It's ep3, it's a good one...well, a long one, but hopefully a good one too.
Plug the magazine podcast into your ears and drift into nerdvana!

The Old, Cosy, Hot One!
It's episode two! We didn't collapse into a heap after episode one! Well, we did, but we got up again and staggered to the mic.
This time out, we talk about getting older in a gaming universe, we strand voice acting royalty Gavin Hammon (Kenny from Telltale's Walking Dead) on a desert island and say 'pick some games, already!' We review the board game Fire Tower, then get involved with cosy games and ponder why they keep getting cosy wrong. And, we go to bat for the joyful madness of Don't Starve.
It's the magazine podcast for nerd hearts everywhere, and we just don't know when to stop!

Toys and Clans and Kiwis...oh my!
It's the first edition of Cardboard Pixels, and by jingles, we've got some things going on.
How do you fancy board game reviews of Toy Battle and Monstrolicious?
What about a tale soaked in the madness of being in a gaming clan?
Okay, what if we strand YouTuber Kiwi in Japan on a Desert Island and ask him to pick 3 games that have mattered to him to take for the ride, one that let him down to burn for heat and a gaming-based desert island companion?
Or, you can wrap your ears around the opinion that FPS shooters only really shine when most of the players have left. How about that?
All this is lurking inside, so grab a seat....not that one, the other one...open the Jaffa Cakes and sit back. Cardboard Pixels is go!
