Pixels and Polygons

Welcome to Pixels and Polygons, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is a conversational podcast hosted by Darren Hupke. It features a rotating cast of guests each week and captures a conversation on a set gaming topic. Each episode starts with an introduction of the guest and an icebreaker; then, we answer a single gaming question. Short and sweet! It’s the perfect “podcast-between-podcasts!” This week’s topic is…

What is a game you “missed”? What is a game that was big or popular and memorable, but you never found a chance to experience it yourself?

My guest this week is:
Kevin from Fine Time! You can follow him on bsky at @monotonegent.fineti.me and listen to him weekly talking about anything and everything on the Fine Time podcast!
