The podcast Broken Pixels that is featured at PodcastPickle is one of the funniest podcast that I have watched. It offers a very interesting outlook on horrible and outdated video games that we all have once played when we were younger.
The episode I watched was titled China Warrior and Air Cars. The podcasts consists of three people that judge the game they are playing as they play. There weren't any scripts or guidelines during the podcast, as many of their commentary were from different scenes throughout the game. When something weird, exciting, crazy, or just stupid happens, they will make a joke about it. This podcast attempts to shed light on video games that are no longer around or have fallen off the earth, which also adds to the comedy.
The podcast's atmosphere very simple and reminded me of when I was young. Playing video games on a couch with friends, and cracking jokes as we play pretty much sums up the podcast. For viewers like me that had a childhood that revolved around playing video games (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis), we will feel a connection with this podcast because that is where we spent most of our childhoods. Also, having the cast make fun of terrible games, reminds us of the times we have been tricked by the "hype" of games or the pictures on the cover just to find out the game is plain garbage.
The play by play commentary helped me remain interested throughout the video. But to ensure that the viewers aren't just watching the video game as they play, they would have the cast appear every so often in the background of the game in a light watermark color. This effect was very appealing because you could see both the game and the reactions of the cast as they play the game. Some of the reactions by the cast, like scene where one of the cast's "China Warrior" gets killed by a potato were hilarious.
The podcast Broken Pixel is definitely one of my favorite podcasts because of the content and how they present it. Though there will be people that won't understand because they have never played a terrible game or shared their childhood with crappy graphics, there will always be people like me that appreciate this type of humor. Hopefully they will make reviews on newer games on newer systems that are completely trash.
