One More Pixel

One More Pixel, commonly initialized as OMP, was an American gaming and variety channel founded by Alex Nuelle  and Mattheu Tracy-Thompson . Tracy-Thompson acted as the show's entire art department and Nuelle led production of the show, which both of them had split down the middle. Their friend Will Lane managed their social media accounts.

The show's commentary was often dubbed as being "about nothing," but this couldn't have been farther from the truth, as the guy's covered all topics and categories of conversation. One More Pixel was a show that had truly perfected the art of "professionally screwing around" or "shooting the sheit," as they call it. You really felt like you were there on the couch recording the episode with them, which is by design. Their laughing is contagious and once you watch it, you'll enjoy their brand of improvisational comedy quite instantly.

The show has a unique pixel-art theme (a style developed by Tracy-Thompson) that is used for the channel logo, on-screen representation, and all promotional art. People recreated in this style were dubbed "Pixelatures." Each series had its own versions of these Pixelatures.

The channel mainly produced Let's Play videos and gaming related videos. The show featured four shows, including One More Pixel, Battle Arena, One Pixel, and Spook Central. Each player in the game was referred to as "PLAYAS," giving a grounded yet professional feel.

Nuelle refers to One More Pixel as "grass-roots YouTube." Stating that these kinds of channels are ones that don't start with a major following, if any at all, and grows itself with persistence and assertiveness. These kinds of channels are rarely successful, but they show that it can be done if you want it bad enough, and that word of mouth and people skills are required for success.

Shows
The following are shows that were featured on the OMP channel. Each show was a variation off of the original concept of the show, as no webcams were used in any of them.

One More Pixel
This is the main series, starring Alex and Matt. In this series, they played through their favorite games while spouting their signature banter. They usually attempted to 100% complete a game before ending its series. Exceptions were made if they didn't feel like it worked anymore, expressed general disinterest, or bumped it for a more hot title.

Battle Arena
Alex and Matt faced-off in multiplayer video games such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Family Feud, and Jeopardy. Some series lasted many parts or were concluded in one installment (eg. Jeopardy).

One Pixel
Sometimes, both of the guys weren't available, so this was where one of the duo stars in their own episode or series. They were generally more mellow episodes, and entertaining, if not just to see how the two's humor differs when in solo mode, but to hear jokes that make you laugh as if you're sitting in the place of the other.

Spook Central
In this series, the crew played a series of scary games (or the opposite), usually lasting the whole week until Halloween. When the breeze is cold, the bats are in the belfry, Dracula is microwaving some popcorn, Frankenstein's monster brought punch, and god knows what's under your bed needs a good laugh, it's time to curl up and watch this classic series with all of 'em!

The Playa's
The One More Pixel crew was small but effective.

Matt Tracy-Thompson
PLAYA ONE. Co-creator of One More Pixel, known outside of YouTube under the name SkullyToonz, which he uses to produce art under Skull Labs. Tracy-Thompson was born in Cambodia but was moved to the United States when he was adopted.

Alex Nuelle
PLAYA TWO. One of the co-creators of One More Pixel, runs his own eponymously named channel. His show Post-Mortar gives a deep-dive into the history of defunct stores and chains (one of the many topics he's very passionate about.) The show was produced entirely by Nuelle and displayed his editing talents on blast. The running joke was that Alex was "Pixel" and when he met Matt they became "One More Pixel." Although, in reality, the name has no origin other than catchiness. Nuelle is from Saint Louis, Missouri. He thanks his parents for helping him get into YouTube; his dad coming up with his original handle "Silver Sardine" (which can still be seen as the channel's url).

Will Lane
Will was the third and final member of One More Pixel. He came onboard in fall 2019 and was the Social Media Expert for the company. He's a huge fan of RuneScape, and this obsession was the office's running joke.
