Editor's note: The long-awaited fourth episode of Pixel Revolt, the Bitmob community podcast hosted by Jeff Grubb, Derek Lavigne, and Brett Bates, is here! Want to participate? Follow the directions below. - Demian



After taking an extra week off to allow Jeff to settle into his new place, the Pixel Revolt crew is back in form with articles from Bitmob and answers from the Bitmob community. This week discussion turns to how much Derek sucks at gaming, Brett's secret fantasy of being a gumshoe, and Jeff finally gets to open up. The community question for this episode was "What setting would you most like to see a game take place in." Strap in, because the boys are back.

Here are the articles that we discuss this week:

I Suck at Video Games (Part 2 of 3) - Mark J. Whitney (here are parts
1 and 3)

Reviewing the Review: An Exercise in Critiquing Technique - Davneet Minhas

The State of Brawlers: The End is Nigh - Alexandr Beran (The Watchmen Flash game Brett mentions can be found
here)

The community question for next episode is "What enemy do you feel is under-represented in video games?" Feel free to have fun with this one!

There are two ways you can submit us your answers.

1) Record a sound clip on your computer and upload it to Houndbite.com then send us an email at PixelRevoltDL@gmail.com (prefered)

2) Simply send an email answer to PixelRevoltDL@gmail.com Please review us on iTunes!

The Best Setting for a Video Game: Ancient Rome - Grand Theft Chariot Imagine a free-roaming, open world game. Like Oblivion has certain guilds, this game could have the Gladiator story line, the General story line, and eventually, the Imperator story line. I can think of no better way of introducing history to the video gaming community. Band of Brothers inspired Brothers in Arms Deadwood inspired Gun And HBO 's Rome should be the inspiration for Grand Theft Chariot!!!

Great cast, gentlemen. And August 11th is my birthday, so Pixel Revolt discussing my article topic was quite the present. ...And God of War is not a brawler. Silent Hill is more of a brawler.
