“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores.

As always, Kevin gets the ball rolling with some of the games that he's been firing up lately — this week, digging into a handful of goodies on his Nintendo Switch.

John joins the conversation after that, as we graze on all sorts of various gaming topics — including a few PlayStation exclusives, control scheme muscle memory, re-imaginings versus faithful remakes, and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' Kevin gets things started off with a handful of games that he's been playing with his nephew lately, and praises Nintendo's ability to cater to younger kids — and also rambles on about the fantastic Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes . John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into a a little more Zelda & Metroid discussion, try to figure out how to pronounce the word "quarry," and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We've got the whole crew in the house once again for one of our longest episodes since the early days of the podcast, so let's get right into the action! John & Kevin get things started off with quick updates on their recent retro Nintendo gaming, as John moves onto Metroid Prime 2: Echoes , while Kevin uncharacteristically polishes off The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap . After that, Randall & John have each been doing some co-op gaming with their wives — Randall digs into his thoughts on The Quarry , while John dives into the wonderful world of Dream Daddy . Finally, Kevin wraps things up with a list of games in his Nintendo Switch collection that have made their way to the chopping block, and decides which ones are going to make the cut...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into all sorts of video gaming goodies — including the emerging "sub-screen" game genre, Cave Story & Nicalis woes, physical game purchasing (again), and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We've got the whole crew back in the house once again, and all sorts of video games to discuss — in spite of our "mixed levels of gaming" lately — so let's get right into the action! John gets the party started with an update on his time with Outer Wilds — which is quickly becoming one of his all-time faves — mainly focusing on the Echoes of the Eye DLC . He also gives some more thoughts on the Metroid Prime series , after polishing off "Remastered" on Switch, and jumping right into Echoes on the Gamecube! Kevin follows that up with some more Nintendo action, after getting pretty sucked into The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap , thanks to its availability via the Switch Online Expansion Pass. Finally, Randall closes us out with some turn-based strategy tactics on the TurboGrafx-16 — Military Madness (aka Nectaris) — which he's been playing on his Analogue Pocket .

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We're shorthanded once again, but a little long-winded nevertheless, as John & Kevin get pretty deep into a handful a various gaming goodies... Kevin kicks things off with a trio of mobile games that he's been (mostly) enjoying lately, even if he's playing one of them on PC — while John briefly jumps at an opportunity to give a quick update on his time with Outer Wilds . It's all things Metroid(vania) after that, as we've both been picking up a number of games starring the one and only Samus Aran — as well revisiting an amazing experimental mini metroidvania from the one and only Daniel Linssen .

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We're back at full strength once again, and we've got all sorts of video gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it... John gets things started off with a proper shoutout to Fields of Mistria , which has only come up briefly in passing on previous "Save it for the 'cast!" episodes. Kevin takes the torch from there, and gets into some of his first impressions on FTL: Faster Than Light , now that he's finally had a chance to check it out, nearly 13 years after its initial release! Finally, we wrap things up in rare fashion with a brand new game that we've all been playing (and eagerly anticipating), Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders .

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. For the first time ever, Kevin is out of commission this week — but that won't stop Randall & John from chatting about some video games, so let's get right into the action! Randall gets the ball rolling with his first impressions on WarioWare: Get It Together! — after finally getting a proper chance to dive into this multiplayer driven experience with his wife, Tina. John takes the torch from there, and dives into a trio of idle games that have been occupying the majority of his time on the Steam Deck lately — including the all-time classic Cookie Clicker ! Finally, Randall wraps things up with a little TurboGrafx-16 talk, after he & his daughter decided to dust of the ol' Neutopia cartridge — after the mini TG-16 console wasn't quite getting the job done.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We're back to full strength once again this week, and we've all been doing a whole bunch of video gaming since we all sat down together, so let's get right into it... We kick things off with a discussion on a trio of games from the wonderful Team Ladybug — a studio that has continued to perfect their craft of both bullet hell shmups & metroidvanias (with another brand new game on its way)! Randall takes the torch from there, and gushes about his time spent with Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons , after ripping through the game with his wife (and itching to fire it up again!) Finally, Kevin wraps things up with LocoRoco: Remastered , which he's been playing quite a bit of after recently dusting off his PS4 again.

Kevin kicks things off with a trio of games that he's been enjoying on his Nintendo Switch lately — including an incredibly fun & fluid 2.5D platformer & a couple of fantastic pixel art, bullet hell shmups.
