Hosted by veteran writer and TV host Scott C. Jones, Heavily Pixelated examines the moments when gamers are at their most vulnerable, and the ways video games helped them endure those difficult moments.

Half Freudian-style therapy session, half celebration of a particular video game, Heavily Pixelated is a heart-felt journey into the ways technology and storytelling can be used to heal broken bodies and spirits. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll be genuinely amazed by the incredibly positive things that games actually do for us.

This podcast is exactly what the games industry needs right now.

- Ryan Payton, Founder of Camouflaj & Director of République


Scott Jones is a superb storyteller with an empathetic eye for the absurd.
