This week, instead of an episode, Josh and Jake sat down and talked to Garth Chouteau, Senior Public Relations Director from PopCap Games, for an extensive interview. Topics include the intuitive nature of the PopCap game design, the “casual” gaming market, the success of the mobile gaming market, the progress of PopCap games for the Wii, Android, and Palm Pre, the transition of game sales to the digital download medium, the future of PopCap games, the release of a new Peggle next week, and much, much more!

In our historic 20th episode the Pixels crew discusses the latest tech news despite the absence of George Freeling. This week the Palm Pre comes up into discussion as well as improved mobile browsing speed in foreign countries. Verizon is also bashed for lack of quality phone skews. Josh and Jake also speak at length about movies they have recently seen and the passing on of celebrities this past week. For our “main topic” we discuss the refinement of the 3rd person shooter genre in modern gaming.
