ORIGINS III w/ Ian (Yokoi Kids)

About this episode

Darren Hupke interviews Ian Ferguson about his early experiences with video games and his journey in the gaming medium.

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 did you start playing video games? What are your earliest memories? What is your journey with the medium? My guest this week is: Ian Ferguson! Ian is the co-host of two podcasts: Extra Napkins and the CUPodcast. You can find him on bsky as @ ianferguson.bsky.social . You can also find out more about his Yokoi Kids project over at https://yokoikids.wordpress.com/ . ---------------- Show credits: Ry-Spirit designed the logo - Instagram - @ryspiritart - https://www.deviantart.com/ry-spirit Background art from Atari 5200 Pac-Man I created the music.
