Negative World Podcast 027 - Self-conscious gamers

Time for your bi-weekly (or is it bi-monthly?) dose of the Negative World Podcast! Listen to Andrew (Zero), Paul (Ploot) and Guillaume (duh) talk about Actraiser, Uncharted 2, Pr. Layton and the Last Specter, Zen Pinball, The Simpsons Arcade Game and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

The crew follow this up with discussions about the stigma of playing dedicated handheld systems in public; is there a place in Nintendo's future for stuff like F-Zero, Pilotwings, etc; and games that combine several genres. Zero shocks Guillaume and Ploot by announcing his upcoming sex change.

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

The prodigal son Guillaume has returned to host episode 23 of the Negative World podcast! Listen to RoyKoopa64 and SirMasterSephiroth speak on the podcast for the very first time! Also, DrFinkelstein is still hanging around.

The gang talks about the games they've been playing: Pushmo, Mario Kart 7, Rocksmith, more Kirby and Rayman Origins.

Things get serious when the discussion turns to winter levels in games, what makes a game series faithful to itself, reboots and remakes, and Nintendo's QA process!

Negative World Podcast 022 - GuiBA

Yes, it's been two weeks already! DrFinkelstein hosts for the second time in a row along with Ploot and PogueSquadron in this 'saturated with greatness' podcast. In the first hour you'll find that the guys take care of the almost obligatory Zelda: Skyward Sword discussion being that all three have conquered the game. In the the second hour you'll find a lot of variety!

Ploot explains why you Americans now have NO EXCUSE not to buy Xenoblade Chronicles, PogueSquadron heads a discussion of heroic proportions about superhero games, and DrFinkelstein gets semi-old school as he gets the gang to ponder some "What If" titles they'd like to see from the Gameboy Advance on the 3DS Virtual Console.

During the Zelda discussion, (from the 36 minute mark, lasting for about six minutes) the guys discuss some boss battles and later game stuff. It's probably the most spoilerish part of the discussion, so you have been warned!

As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The music throughout the podcast is taken from Skyward Sword, Xenoblade Chronicles, Batman (NES), and Golden Sun.

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.
