NWP 51: Community Chest (Build your own NWP!)

First off, huge apologies for the lateness of this blog. I really should have done it the same night as the post about the 50th episode of NWP. But that’s old news. I’m all about episode 51 of NWP now.

We want to do another community show, because the first one was a lot of fun and people really seemed to dig it. If you didn’t listen to that episode, what I’m looking for are a handful of bite-sized topics. You can ask us anything or bring up anything. I would prefer that they are video game related in some form or fashion, but I figure if there are some topics about other stuff that will be just peachy, as well.

So, I had a couple fun ones that I didn’t use from the last time we did this, so I am putting them here so you get an idea of what I’m looking for:

From SuperStep: “Power Rangers movie is apparently in the works. I remember the SNES games being really good. Ummm ... thoughts?”

 

From Daftman: “Do you prefer Contra or Metal Slug? Why?”

(and possibly, because it makes me guffaw): “Birdo...what the heck is that thing?”

From Alex-C25: “I also wouldn't mind one for the recent state of Sonic.”

That last one might be opening up a whole can of worms. Alex, you said you’re cool with negativity as long as it doesn’t border on jerkassery and disrespect. I can’t promise that, but like Bill I will try to be sweet.

Alright, PixlBits, hop to it! You have until Tuesday night (August 5) at 8:30 Central time to get me some good, fun, and short topics. Feel free to comment below, or PM me through the site. Thanks in advance!

Since Angelo and his wife like to watch horror movies together, and since I've learned a bit about Angelo's tastes through the podcast and social media, I have a horror movie recommendation that I'm sure wouldn't fit on twitter, so I'll leave it here for you guys.

Have you seen the movie The Awakening with Rebecca Hall? It's a British ghost movie that I think you and Mrs. Grant might like. It's a tale set in 1921, England, about a woman who travels the country debunking supernatural hoaxes and publishing reports with the intent of exposing frauds. The story begins when the author goes to a boys' boarding school to investigate sightings of a ghost child.

The story is fairly interesting, the atmosphere, set, and wardrobe are all fantastic, and the acting is quite decent. Also, there's no gore or monsters.

It's an undiscovered dinosaur that the other dinosaurs used as a glory hole. Birdo was paid in fig leaves. 

As for topics, why not discuss atheists/nonbelievers in gaming, if you know of any, and how you perceive them and how this might affect your perception of these people in the real world. Totally not saying this cause my planned thesis topic is related to this. Totally not.

What's the deal with airline peanuts...

oh wait, video game related *ponders*

There's a new Fatal Frame gaming coming out on the Wii U soon. But still no love from Nintendo about releasing it. They allowed Zombie U to be released on the Wii U so why not a Fatal Frame game that let's us use the gamepad AS the Camera Obsucra!

I know this is more akin to a halloween theme topic but it's the only thing I can come up with.

I know this topic has been covered a lot, but I would love to hear your guys' thoughts on the great console war between Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Tell us where you were at the time, how old you were, and which system you stood behind and why. Finally, tell us your thoughts on the console war looking back and how it has affected gaming in general.

So, I would like to say that we just finished recording and these topics made for an awesome show! Super Step, your second topic didn't make it into the show, but that's because we were running long and I think it can actually work into a bigger episode. Thanks to everyone who contributed! We will defnitely do this again.
