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…When has a game surprised or stunned you? Tell us about that moment. What games have impacted you beyond the entertainment value?My guest this week is:Audi Sorlie!
