Due to scheduling conflicts this week, we unfortunately had to postpone the release of Episode 40 to next week. We’re not a fan of doing this unless we absolutely have to, so to make it up to the community, Josh and Zach got together to have a little one on one discussion about a few topics we were planning on including in episode 40.
This week the duo discuss their impressions with Anthem and their thoughts going into the launch. Also, we discuss the recent decline of GameStop, Nintendo swapping dev teams for Metroid Prime 4 and Metro Exodus making a move to the Epic Games Store on PC.
Hopefully this mini episode will tide you all over until the REAL episode 40 drops next week. Thanks again for the patience and enjoy the show!

It’s a brand new year and we’re going to spend our first episode in 2019… talking about 2018. This is our year in review episode for 2018 and we spend almost three hours digging deep into gaming and the industry from last year.
First up, we jump into all of the biggest events that happened throughout 2018 in the industry we love. We discuss the publishers and developers who had the best year, the worst year, and who helped progress the industry into a positive and negative direction. Also, we discuss the hit in relevancy that games journalism hit in 2018 as well.
Second, we discuss the games of 2018 by sharing our personal top ten lists between the four core hosts. We also discuss what games surprised us in 2018, which games we hated the most and which developers made us stand up and take notice. Afterwards, we try to debate and agree upon our collective game of the year for That Pixel Life.
Finally, we wrap the show up with our personal New Year’s resolutions, our favorite music, films and books in 2018 and much more. Also, we make some pretty big announcements coming to That Pixel Life in 2019 too.
