Those renowned legends of the Frontier, Ben and Tao, plummet into the Apex Games, where they compete for small change, notoriety, and ideally, at least one victory as Apex Legends. But do they succeed? The chaps discuss running and gunning, the legacy of Titanfall 2, and the sinister viability of the freemium model. Tao regales us with his exploits playing hide and seek, and Ben rages against short TTK and the deathmatch exodus. It’s the first Battle Royale on the pod - but will it be the last? And the next time you're at the checkout and you hear the beep, think of the fun you could be having…listening to Pixel Vision. No story spoilers because there’s no story. I guess that’s a spoiler. Content Warning: PEGI 13. Effin’ and jeffin’ and reveling in the glory of the hunt. But it’s all pretty tame this week. Clarifications:
Both Tao and I got the podcast email address wrong. Strong start. It’s pixelvisionpod@gmail.com and it’s always listed at the bottom of these show notes! Say hi!
