Show Notes

Welcome to Pixels and Polygons. This is a conversational podcast centered around gaming, where my guests and I answer a question based on the episode topic. This week’s episode is…

HARDWARE V w/ Aidan and Austin

What is your favorite game console of all time?

Aidan Moher (he/him) is a Hugo award-winning writer and editor who has written about almost every niche facet of geek culture you can think of from Terry Brooks to Dungeons & Dragons. And whether he’s penning wildly read essays on Lunar: Silver Star Story, the undeniable lasting power of Chrono Trigger (the best RPG ever made), or the forgotten history of Magic: the Gathering, he manages to infuse deep, personal, endearing hooks into every story he tells.

He’s the author of Fight, Magic, Items: The History of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and the Rise of Japanese RPGS in the West.

Austin is a lifelong friend and someone who will always talk about games with me anytime.
