PixelCast 13 - Tear from a Pixel
Powering through the unlucky numbers, PixelCast 13 features a panel of four (Tim, Ken, Dylan, and Cody) talking up the games they've been playing, digging their claws into the muddiness of Heavy Rain, and taking a moment to sit back and evaluate what Nintendo really means to them in today's world.
There's also some news discussion, and a total lack of Dan Stains. Sinus infections are painful things, however, so we've forgiven him and those of you who were hoping to hear his brain topple your petty thoughts can still look forward to the experience in a couple of weeks time. So, we're cool, right? Yeah, we're totally cool. Just wait until you see Dylan's new sunglasses.
