Negative World Podcast 019 - Accidentally relevant

A week in the making! In this scary Negative World Podcast episode, Alaska_Gamer talks about the disturbing Alien VS Predator 2, Guillaume talks about the spooky first NES Castlevania as well as the eerie Castlevania X: Rondo of Blood, and Anand discusses his grotesque Nintendogs + Cats adventures.

The gang then talks about Western RPGs turning into action games in order to sell better, the necessity of game critics, and predictable or unpredictable enemy patterns in old school action games. Featuring bonus talk about cooperative action!

As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and ghoul, Zero. Those creepy notes you hear are coming to you from beyond the grave. Also, Castlevania.

Negative World Podcast 018 - Weak to fog

Yes, really: it's another Negative World Podcast episode. Guillaume can't believe what a jerk Jim Sterling is and discusses BloodRayne Betrayal, Paleo returns after a long absence to talk about Fragile Dreams, and newcomer Chris "Rebonack" Dunn has decided to check out this TMNT fad all the kids are into with TMNT3 on the Game Boy. (You can hear even more of his ramblings on the tvandlust.net podcast!)

They then discuss what makes someone stick with games one finds mediocre, being obsessed about a particular game, and what makes a good superhero video games. Side conversations include drawing sexy pics of Sonic and being pigeonholed into a topic by Guillaume!

As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The wonderful music throughout the podcast is taken from Super Mario Galaxy.
