Negative World Podcast 063 - From The Tarmac

It's Memorial Day Weekend to the American listeners and what shall they do with all that free time? Why listen to a 3-hour episode of the Negative World Podcast of course! (International listeners are encouraged to as well!)

Stephen (DrFinkelstein) and Joe (Ninsage) sit down with Peter (Octorockin) and Tom (Gamewizard65) for tons of in-depth discussions packed into one little file.

The guys start with a thorough 'Now Playing' and discover that Peter and Tom have been playing a lot of the same games lately. They discuss, Child of Light, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, League of Legends, Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Kirby's Dream Collection, The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 3, and a little 3DS eShop title called Tappingo.

Be weary of spoilery discussions peppered throughout that segment, particularly for The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 3. This segment is followed by a new 'What Do You Fink?' installment which has a bonus fourth question!

In the final hour the gang spends their time discussing Nintendo's apparent image problem and their lower sales. Each member of the show brings a unique perspective of why and what works or doesn't work with Nintendo's current game plan. The conversation evolves (or devolves) into a little bit about Nintendo's marketing and even into 'It's not you, It's me' territory. I'm quite eager to hear comments in the thread over this discussion.

The break music is from Child of Light and frankly I'm in love with it. The soundtrack is truly awesome! If the discussion on the game doesn't sway you, at least listen to the soundtrack. Zero's theme music makes an appearance for the gazillionth time now.

Negative World Podcast 030 - Better Late Than Never

Believe it or not, we've been working on a new podcast for a while! After some scheduling conflicts and then free-time-to-work issues in general, the new episode of the Negative World Podcast is finally upon us! Better late than never eh!?

Gamewizard65 and Ninsage talk about their latest gaming endeavors while DrFinkelstein laments about his broken Wii.

Then, the crew discusses things like whether or not Nintendo needs to rely on gimmicks, how nostalgia affects our gaming experiences, and finally how our hype for the video game hobby we love changes over time!

As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The music throughout the podcast is taken from Super Mario Galaxy, it's sequel, and Super Mario Sunshine. Songs from mario games which were intended to elicit a nostalgic response of some kind. ;)

Negative World Podcast 021 - Someone To Bake Them Evil Cakes

Negative World is at it AGAIN (will they ever quit? sheesh!) with another podcast for your listening pleasure. Cryojin and Gamewizard65 join DrFinkelstein during his first hosting gig ever! They start off with some discussion about Twilight Princess and Gears of War 3, only to finish it off old school with Donkey Kong 94' and DuckTales 2 chatter.

Then, the crew discusses the social stigmas found in the gaming community before launching into an all out drool-fest over Super Mario 3D Land. Finally, DrFink yet again introduces a topic where he agrees with both sides of the argument and thus negates himself in a rousing discussion about the Mario Kart series and why it hasn't gone full throttle in a "Brawl-esque" manner.

From the 00:47:53 minute mark thru the 00:49:07 minute mark are some light Super Mario 3D Land post-game spoilers.
From the 01:14:19 minute mark thru the 01:15:52 minute mark are some Mario Kart 7 New Character spoilers.
You have been warned, both here and in the podcast!

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

Negative World Podcast 012 - Operation Rainfall

In this episode, gamewizard65 and Alaska_Gamer make their podcast debut! Along with Paleo_Orca and, sigh, Guillaume, they discuss Operation Rainfall and the weird publishing decisions of Nintendo, preferred graphical styles, Ocarina of Time 3DS and other remakes, and sim games (mostly of the "god game" variety).

As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The rest of the soundtrack is taken from Xenoblade.
