Negative World Podcast 091 - Get Your Group On

The end of August brings a fun and special episode of the Negative World Podcast! As per usual there's Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein), but unlike the last episode, there's plenty of guests this time! Stephen drove all the way to Joe's corner of the U.S. of A. in order to record this latest episode and with him he brought Erika (EponaEatsCarrots). Joe's Wife, Amy, makes four and the quintuple is rounded out by Negative World's own Lou (TheOldManFromZelda).

This episode primarily has a focus on Now Playing and general floating discussion, but all of it is wonderful! Games mentioned include, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma, Pokemon GO, Pokemon Platinum, Fable, Pokemon Yellow, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Star Wars: Battle Pod, a Star Wars pinball machine, Cruis'n USA, WRC II Extreme, everyone's favorite Baseball games, Super Mario Maker, Road Rash 3, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, and even somehow classic dollhouses get mentioned. (Well, the mention of the Strong Museum of Play probably led that portion.)

It was a ton of fun to record and I hope it's a ton of fun for you to listen to!

Negative World's site owner and operator, Zero provides the intro and outro. There is no break music in this episode, but there is a brief visit from a surprise guest named Sab!

Negative World Podcast 088 - Like A Hylian Skip-It

Huzzah! It's E3 week once again on good ol' Planet Earth! All the key gaming companies are showing off their latest and greatest and we're here to discuss it! On this very special E3-edition of the show Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein) are joined by Chris (Chrisbg99) and Lou (TheOldManFromZelda)!

The show is broken up in a few different chunks. First up, as Nintendo did in their E3 Treehouse presentation yesterday, we lead off with a brief mention of the latest we saw from Pokemon Sun & Moon. Then we climb our way into a much meatier helping of discussion with the elephant in the room… The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! It feels so good to have some kind of footing of the direction in Aonuma's latest Zelda game for the Wii U and NX.

After an intermission break with some The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword music, we jump back in for more content. After the break we start things off by discussing the new amiibo that Nintendo revealed this week. Then we briefly mention some other things Nintendo had announced yesterday. If only we recorded this tonight and not last night… so much info released today even! Check out the website for more info there. This portion of the discussion tapped us out on Nintendo news so we switched over to some 'Nontendo' news and catch up with the cool things Microsoft and Sony are up to as well. It's a good time to be a gamer and it's a good time to listen to the podcast!

Negative World Podcast 080 - Obviously Puppets

E3 was earlier this month and we sure do have an onslaught of podcasts coming your way. I'm trying my best to edit them quick but after a series of unfortunate events (and a lack of sleep) I have finally gotten this first one out! It's got a lot packed into it too! We recorded this on the Wednesday of E3 2015 and all in all, between the hosts, guests, and a special segment you'll find the following awesome Negative Worlders! We've got, Michael (Pokefreak911), Lou (TheOldManFromZelda), and Anand (Anand) as main guests. Then we have a special segment with Grant (GameDadGrant), Paul (Ploot), and Dave (BeardedNerd). Then finally of course there's Joe (Ninsage) and Stephen (DrFinkelstein) hosting the whole thing.

For each episode, we asked each guest a series of five questions relating to Nintendo, E3, or some combo of the two. Once we gained some specific general perspective from each guest we dove into specific topics relating to E3 that each guest wanted to bring to the table. In this first episode Pokefreak911 wanted to talk about Nintendo's Overall Presentation and of course Xenoblade Chronicles X. TheOldManFromZelda chats about Star Fox Zero and The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes. Finally Anand talks about Super Smash Bros. DLC for Wii U and 3DS while also bringing his own special topic about perception to the show. Be sure to click the links which will take you to the various trailers where relevant.

You'll find a special segment sandwiched between the five answers segment from Joe and I and the first guest. In it is about ten minutes of immediate discussion that occurred right after the Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct that kicked off Nintendo's E3 week. I had been over at Ploot's house with BeardedNerd and GameDadGrant where we watched it live. Then we discussed briefly. All three of those guys will be actual guests in Episodes 81 and 82 but it's a fun mini-segment anyway.

Music for the episode is borrowed from a few sources; Xenoblade Chronicles X, The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. The show's theme music is from Negative World site owner and operator, Zero.

In this episode you'll find, DrFinkelstein, Ninsage and newcomer, TheOldManFromZelda discussing all sorts of topics!

The guys go through the games they're playing which includes Pikmin 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Earthbound, and more.
