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.

Negative World Podcast 017 - Eating worms in the school yard
You want to hear about games? That's great, because Kriswright, ludist210 and Guillaume won't stop rambling about Kirby Mass Attack, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football! Special appearance by Stephmonster, the first (gasp) female to grace the Negative World podcast with her presence!
Then, the crew attacks various topics (and each other!): Kris (and his wife!) collect games, ludist210 has the future of music games on his mind, and Guillaume wonders if Sega even ever knew what good game design is. Sorry for the rambling!
As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The funky beats throughout the podcast are from the "classic" game Toejam & Earl.

As if it weren't enough, they also dig into the topics of the day: how special circumstances may influence our enjoyment of certain games, hacking your Wii and general homebrew talk, and the announced free GBA games for Ambassadors: Mario VS Donkey Kong, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island, Metroid Fusion and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$.
Tons and tons of content. And bear with us and the poor sound at the beginning: it gets better.

Negative World Podcast 014 - Legend of the Sentient Quesadillas
The Negative World Podcast welcomes Andrew Eisen (the "Nintendo why won't you take my money?" guy) to revisit the Operation Rainfall topic. Along with Guillaume, Chrisbg99 (Chris) and the fashionably late Xbob42 (Rico), we also discuss the 3DS price drop and Nintendo's situation in general, and also choosing the other gender in games that allow us to do so.
