Hey there, PixlBits! So, we've had a lot of unique episodes of Nerds Without Pants lately, but it's time to get back to our regular format. If you're not a regular listener to the show, that would be the opening Consumption Junction segment where we talk about whatever geeky media we've consumed, and then a core topic that's related to gaming in some way.
Here's where you guys come in! I'm looking for some small topics for our next episode to have a community-driven episode of NWP. Hopefully you know the show and how the three of us talk, so what I'm hoping for are four to six mini topics that we can fill the final hour (who am I kidding? hour and a half) of the show with. While I'd prefer for them to be gaming related in some way, I'm leaving it to you. Want to know more about us? Shoot. Wondering why I'm so obsessed with Jason Statham (even though we haven't had a Statham Sighting (tm) in months)? By all means. We can talk current gaming events or retro stuff...whatever y'all want. Just keep in mind that we're looking for a handful of smaller talking points, so hot button issues like misogyny in the games industry that we could easily spend a whole episode on should be tabled for later.
You can respond to this blog, email me through the website (julian@pixlbit.com), find me on Twitter (@julian_titus), or...no, that's it. Fire away, PixlBit! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I want you to cover this game
^I see what Greenman did there.
1. Nintendo's reported losses vs. its apparently huge cash reserves vs. the people
2. Talk about the Expendables films since you like Statham. I'm not a fan of those movies, but I like the people in 'em ... the girlfriend-Statham plot was the worst part of the first movie though, and I need you to accept that. I wouldn't mind an Expendables game though ...
3. I saw Amazing Spider-Man 2 recently. I loved it, critics hate it, normal people are mixed, so ... thoughts? Talk about the game too, I guess.
4. How are those Shit Game reviews coming? I know Julian got one.
5. Would you want to see a new Star Fox or F-Zero game done right as badly as I would?
6. Power Rangers movie is apparently in the works. I remember the SNES games being really good. Ummm ... thoughts?
That's what I got right now.
Actually, they DID make an Expendables video game. It was Contra: Hard Corps on the Genesis...LOL!
On top of it, will submit my list when done! Gimme a couple hours
Here are a couple ideas:
1. Do you prefer Contra or Metal Slug? Why?
2. What powers do you think Mega Man would get from defeating the other characters in Smash Bros?
3. Birdo...what the heck is that thing?
I know I haven't been commenting on the episodes but I have been listening to NWP lately, even the wrestling episode! I tend to like the longer-topic episodes but this idea seems pretty cool. Looking forward to it!
I have been playing mega man recently. I want to know what is the best mega man game and why. If you guys aren't fans of mega man, then some other long running series with many entries.
Because I really liked the part of Asura's Wrath on Backloggers Anonymous when you talked about anime, how about a part of NWP dedicated to that?
I also wouldn't mind one for the recent state of Sonic.
I think an anime game show just might be big enough to fill a whoe episode, so I will keep that pinned for later.
As for Sonic...based on your avatar and question you probably don't want me talking about Sonic...
Not a fan, huh? Don't worry, i'm cool with that as long as it doesn't border in jerkassery and disrespect.
I gotcha. What's your most favorite video game collectable? Mine is a Nintendo beanbag I got in the 90's. He's been on every one of my deployments with me, and now he sits in my front window at all times. =D
These are fantastic, guys! Keep em coming! We are going to have enough interesting topics to do a couple of these.
missed the boat again. Better luck next time for me I guess.
