Negative World Euphonic 006 - Dungeon and Air/Sky Themes

It has been a long wait… patience has filled the Negative World forums up to the brink and finally… that anticipation… that calling… it has come back to the homeland…

The Negative World Euphonic podcast is back everybody! *kermitfreakout.gif* Did you miss us? I hope so because I hope you'll give this podcast variant a listen once more. We haven't had a new episode in nearly two years of the Negative World Euphonic and we're now back to including them when we can. This time we're back and bigger than ever! Each episode from here until otherwise noted will include seven songs from two themes, meaning we're fitting in four more songs per show! Well… that's not quite true… because we throw in a finale song as well! We just increased the podcast's music content by a whopping 50%!

This episode focuses on two distinct, somewhat opposite, themes. First up we have Dungeon themes to go through. A lot of what you might think shows up might not as we have a unique look at different dungeon themes throughout the gaming history! After that we tackle Air/Sky tracks. Float on through the show as we listen to an eclectic mix of air and sky themes.

After all is said and heard we finish it off with a final bonus track which Joe and I just HAD to end on. Is it a dungeon theme? Is it a sky song? You've got to listen to find out! (and also not just skip to the end) :P

What do you think of the songs picked for this episode? How do you feel when listening to these tracks? What moves you? What doesn't? Let us know!

You can comment on the music, the show, etc. on Negative World, Facebook or, Twitter.

Enjoy the show!

Negative World Podcast 086 - Mock It To Me!

Happy April, It's another episode of the Negative World Podcast! In this episode we find a nice return to form where Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein) sit down with Jamie (PogueSquadron) to discuss video games!

Each gentleman has something special to bring to the opening discussions. Jamie shares his experiences with live-streaming as he tells us about his Twitch channel, Turnabout Stepladder at Twitch.tv. Joe recalls how things went with the 2nd Annual Smash Bros. Charity Tournament with Child's Play Charity. Lastly, Stephen details how things have been in the 'Best Pokemon Ever' March Madness Bracket. The final results should go live in the next day or two so keep an eye out!

In Now Playing we've got a bevy of games to discuss. Jamie explores with us the unique Steam-based RPG-experience found in Undertale. Joe focuses on Final Fantasy Explorers. How does it relate or differ to games like Monster Hunter? He'll explain! Stephen rekindles some love with an old favorite, Pikmin 3. Other games get a mention as well so tune in!

Lastly, the trio discusses the recent 'hoax' regarding a supposed Nintendo controller that matches the original patent filed a while back. Just before the discussion it came to light that the whole thing was faked but the guys discuss the feasibility of that design anyway and the upcoming speculation around Nintendo's new system.

The break music selection is a couple of delightful tracks from Undertale. I really hope this game comes to Wii U or 3DS. Negative World's site owner and operator, Zero provides the intro and outro.

Keep an eye out for future episodes! Euphonic Podcasts are poised to make a return after a 2015-Hiatus. Full list of episodes

Negative World Podcast 085 - The Year of the Mankey

Hello, and welcome to the Negative World Podcast; a podcast about video-games by the Nintendo fans at NegativeWorld.org.

This is the first episode of the new year; the first of many. In it, you'll find that Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein) talk with Peter (Octorockin) about the Negative World GOTY Awards for both the Wii U and the 3DS. They use this major site-event to do an overall review of the year 2015 in gaming as well as a look ahead to the Chinese Year of the Mankey, err Monkey… 2016.

Some games that are discussed are… Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Yoshi's Woolly World Xenoblade Chronicles X, Freedom Planet, Runbow, Fast Racing Neo, Codename: S.T.E.A.M., Stretchmo, BOXBOY!, Tadpole Treble, and Yooka Laylee. However this is just a small amount of games mentioned. There is so much content in this episode!

The break music is non-existent as we just keep trucking away. Though, Negative World's site owner and operator, Zero provides the intro and outro.

Negative World Podcast 084 - Nintendo, Mario Maker

Welcome to an archaic episode of the Negative World Podcast! Recorded way back in October, just before I bought a house… Thus that's the excuse I've got for why this hasn't released. Free time has been way more scarce than ever but alas, I love the show and I love Nintendo and so does my co-host Joe! The podcast is still alive and kicking! In fact, while you enjoy this episode, Episode 85 is already in the editing bay!

In this episode you'll find that Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein) talk with Paul (Ploot) about some major titles which came out back in the September/October 2015 timeframe. Most notably of course is the main attraction this episode, the big ol' Super Mario Maker discussion.

Joe also details the initial announcement of his currently active NinTemple Pokemon Gym League! You can learn more and sign up at the link provided or just PM Joe about it!

The break music is one of my absolute favorite tracks from Yoshi's Woolly World. As always, Negative World's site owner and operator, Zero provides the intro and outdo.

Negative World Podcast 083 - Please Podcast In The Form Of A Question

The Negative World Podcast is back! We've taken an unintentional hiatus this summer as so much energy of mine is spent right now on advancing my off-line life. Joe and I hadn't much time to catch up either so we got our schedules aligned and recorded a new episode of the show! It's our shortest (main) show ever in fact at just over an hour long!

In this episode you'll find that Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein) have a grab bag of topics to discuss.

To start things off they discuss Joe's recent endeavor into the world of pub trivia with other Negative Worlders. Then they discuss Video Game Vinyls for a moment. Thirdly Stephen brings up this new amiibo news regarding the Shovel Knight amiibo. After that it's a brief Now Playing segment (or more like Been Playing) where Joe has been focusing on Kirby and the Rainbow Curse primarily while Stephen is still up to his neck in ink with Splatoon. I hope we'll be able to get back to the usual podcast schedule and lengths soon enough but for now we might be seeing shorter episodes like this one. I'd also like to get the Negative World Euphonic back and running. If anyone wishes for that as well, let us know in the comments.

We finish the show with a mention of the late Satoru Iwata. I had intended to make this episode an Iwata-ganza but with everything going on I haven't been able to write a show that would do him justice. So we plan to do something in remembrance soon enough but not at this time. As I just saw his name roll in the credits of the last game I beat, he will always be remembered and he'll always be warming our hearts even when he is no longer with us.

There isn't any specific music in this episode but the show's theme music is, as always, from Negative World site owner and operator, Zero.

Negative World Podcast 082 - Amii3bo

Thank you for your patience fellow Nintendo gamers! The final third installment of our E3 2015 episodes! What a fun romp it has been doing these! In this episode you'll find we almost come full circle. First up is Rob (Mr_Mustache), followed by Jon (HammerLord), and in our final segment we have a pairing with Paul (Ploot) and Dave (BeardedNerd). The host situation is shaken up a bit this time around as well with Paul jumping in Rob's segment to co-host and by the final segment Joe (Ninsage) takes his throne once more. Stephen (DrFinkelstein) is around the whole time because he loves to hear his own voice. ;)

In this episode all guests get to speak their peace in the Five Questions of E3. Rob and Stephen discuss amiibo, its role at E3, and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival. Afterwards Jon brings Smash DLC discussion to the table as well as a mention about LetsSuperMario.com. Go check it out! Once Joe joins the group, Paul and Dave discuss a gauntlet of topics to finish out the show. There's Star Fox Zero, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, and finally Super Mario Maker! What a great way to end E3 2015 and our podcasts! Be sure to click the links which will take you to the various trailers where relevant.

Music for the episode is borrowed from a few sources; Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Street Fighter II. The show's theme music is from Negative World site owner and operator, Zero.

While we recorded this show last month in June, it is unfortunate that as I release it and write this post that the news of Satoru Iwata's death has travelled far and wide. There is no mention of that in this episode and we at the Negative World Podcast plan to pay our full respects with our next recording coming very soon. If you would like to discuss this tragic news and share in the mourning over at Negative World, you can do so at this link.

The Power, The Wisdom, The Courage. Rest In Peace, Mr. Iwata.
