PPR Presents Limelight: Hollow Knight: Silksong

he indie equivalent of Shenmue III and Half-Life 3 is out! The meme is officially dead! Everyone’s favorite chat spam has materialized, and the sequel to the 2017 Metroidvania Sleeper is here!

Hollow Knight: Silksong is FINALLY a thing, and everyone’s kinda freaking out about it. Join George as he dives headfirst into the gloomy, labyrinthine journey that’s sure to be filled with all of the cheap enemy placement and tricky wall-jumps you could ever imagine and then some! The jury is still out on whether or not the wait was worth it, but one thing is for sure—the amount of hype and joy for this release is feverish, and we, for one, cannot wait to see what all of the hullabaloo is all about!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 9:30 PM PST on 09/06/2025 to watch the highly anticipated sequel from Team Cherry! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch channel, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Limelight: Doom: The Dark Ages

025 is jam-packed full of huge releases, but one particular release appears to have come and gone from the gaming water cooler, and that’s DOOM: The Dark Ages.

The latest entry of the modern take on the FPS giant amps the frenzy of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal by adding even more mobility options, and a Marvel Hero-ass Shield that you bash and parry with, and of course, even more DOOM guy lore to set the latest stage of hell in. George and Andrew will be hosting tonight’s limelight, with George on the sticks and Andrew on the side-cans, where they’ll chop it up on the newest entry of the violent shooter franchise.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 08/28/2025 to watch the medieval twist of the iconic Rip & Tear gameplay we’ve come to know and love!

PPR Presents Limelight: Virtual Boy Wario Land

his year makes the Pearl year for the Virtual Boy folks—yeah, that’s right—thirty friggin’ years of the Nintendo misunderstood 3D-enhanced 32-Bit platform. Now, we here at Press Pause Radio are no strangers to romanticizing the goggled little tripod-ass tripoding shitpost of a video game system, but this year just so happens to coincides with the same year we achieved our bog boost in video and audio production. Which means we now have hands on a consolized Virtual Boy that’s been RGB-modded with Furrtek’s Virtual Tap mod and Retro Onyx’s wireless Virtual Boy controller!

So what game are we going to ring in the special occasion with? The obvious one of course! George and Sean are going to get down with Virtual Boy Wario Land, and chop up all of their memories of the platform and its current status in the current pantheon of gaming culture (or they might just sigh a lot, the Virtual Boy just kind of brings it out of them.)

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 08/21/2025 to watch our gameplay of old Nintendo hardware and the weird-ass obscurities stuck on it!

PPR Presents Limelight Double-Feature: Mario Kart World & Slitterhead

ife’s been a bit busier than usual…BUT NOT TOO BUSY TO SNAG THE LATEST HARDWARE FROM NINTENDO YA HEEEAAAARRRD-DUH?!

Yup, despite a clumsy-ass preorder experience, George was able to bring the Switch 2 home, and he’s jonesing to stream the big new launch title that debuted with the platform, Mario Kart World!

Since Press Pause Radio is running behind on its streaming schedule though, some adjustments had to be made, and it looks like the cast has settled on making this Sunday a “Double-Feature” sort of production! So, in addition to getting a new look at Mario Kart World, we’re then going to heavily lead into some tonal whiplash and also broadcast some gameplay from one the sleeper-hits of 2024, Bokeh Game Studio Inc.’s Slitterhead. This body-horror action title seemingly…slittered between the cracks, and didn’t get the buzz we think it deserves, especially when you consider that it was masterminded by Keiichiro friggin’ Toyama, the visionary behind Silent Hill and Gravity Rush.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 06/08/2025 to watch our gameplay of new Nintendo hardware and weird-ass obscurities! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch Channel, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Limelight: South of Midnight

t’s been 12 years since we’ve enjoyed the work of Compulsion Games with their captivating debut release of Contrast that was followed by their disappointingly disjointed sophomore release in We Happy Few, the third release takes players into the whimsical roots of Deep South Louisiana in South of Midnight.

The promise of a culturally rich, socially poignant PS2-ass PS2 like adventure just about ticks every box Press Pause Radio could ever ask for out of a game experience, and George is ready to answer the call of a grand scale bayou fantasy!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 05/14/2025 to watch our gameplay  of one of the most exciting additions to GamesPass Ultimate yet!

PPR Presents Limelight: Pokémon Brown 20th Anniversary Edition

ow that a lot of the studio issues have been ironed out, Press Pause Radio will be able to do regular broadcasts for streaming and video again, and we’re starting off the block real WEIRD-like with an updated revision for one of the most celebrated ROM hacks released in the 21^st century.

GameBoy-enthusiast studio, RainbowDev, first cut their teeth on the hardware with an expansive take on the first generation of the Nintendo classic, Pokémon. Twenty years and several other projects later, the studio has returned to where it all began, implementing multiple quality-of-life improvements into the Generation 1 foundation of the series; complete with new Pokémon  from current generations that have never seen the GameBoy screen, new types like Fairy along with additional fan made types like Sound, Gas, Wood, and more.

Join George as he treks through the mysterious region of  Rijon through the power of the Super GameBoy 2 on 05/02/2025 at 7:00 PM PST!

PPR Presents Limelight: Analogue Pocket Adapters in Action

After what’s felt like EONS of waiting, Analogue has FINALLY sent out the remaining Analogue Pocket adapters for their FPGA-engineered portable powerhouse, and we’ve got our hands on a set of the elusive do-hickeys to dive in on with y’all.

Join George as he streams an assortment of GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Sega GameGear, Atari Lynx, SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color, and TurboGrafx 16/PC Engine/SuperGrafx games off of the Analogue Pocket on August 23rd, 7:30 PM PST! We don’t know what edgy 90’s slogan to end off on? So maybe we should use all of them—like, To be this good, it take PPR, or WARNING: the following may cause chills, dizziness, and shortness of breath or some other goofy dumbass shit like that…

We don’t know, just show up and check it out!
