Season 2 Episode 2: The Other Guys

Welcome back to the second season of the First World Podcast.  This week we talk about the third tier of "consoles," including the newly unveiled Steam Machine.  Madison took some time this week and finally finished the Last of Us.  Greg was blessed by the game gods, and managed to get Dan's old Wii U, and played Earthbound.  Heath finally found the "carrot" monsters, in Final Fantasy 14, and finally loved it.  Dan got the new Zelda bundle Wii U, and played one of the greatest games ever made, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.  We wrapped up the episode with our ever popular Triple Barrel Shotgun Round.  This week we ask the question;  What games deserve a direct sequel?  Let us know in the comments below.

Season 2 - Episode 1: Platinum Plated

Welcome back to the First World Podcast. Thank you for joining us on the start of our second season. Greg "Awesome" Braun spent some time playing NHL 14, with classic '94 results.  Heath "That's a High Score" Aldrich ran over some grandmas, and crashed some cars in Grand Theft Auto 5. Dan "Fuckity-Fuck" Clark played some 8 bit horror with Dead Pixels, and didn't win a dollar.  Madison "Mad Queen" Davis spent some time on her recent Ebay win on Lunar Silver Star Story, and showed off her new piece of tech with the Nexus 7.  We spend some time this week talking about the legacy of Clover studios, which turned into Platinum games.  We wrap up the episode with our ever popular Triple Barrel Shotgun Round: What developer would you like to make what game?  Was that confusing enough?

Episode 50: Fifty Shades of Great

Well folks, we made it.  Far beyond our initial expectations, the First World Podcast has made it to the tender age of 1 year old!  It has been a wild ride, and we couldn't have done this with out you, yes you, the listener.  This episode, we changed the format a bit.  We kick off the episode with a year in retrospect on the show, telling you some secrets that started the show, and what have kept it alive.  Followed up by a great interview with ex-Lucas Arts QA tester Tammy Williamson, a follow up from episode 27.  Next, we do and extended Inbox 360 segment, were we answer all of your question.

Now for the surprise we have been hinting at.  This episode we would like to introduce our new segment, Hall of Game.  Over the course of this year, we have played some amazing games.  One of them stuck out miles above the rest, and that game was called Faster Than Light.  So, in order to properly celebrate FTL's induction to the Hall of Game, Dan and Heath had a Skype interview with FTL co-developer Justin Ma.  We wrap up the episode with our thanks, and if we missed someone, please forgive us, so many of you have contributed in some way over the course of the year.

Episode 48: One Dollar Bob.

The time was 10:00 AM on a Sunday morning, and the First World Podcast crew gathered for a special, early morning episode of the First World Podcast.  This week we had a rousing discussion on the price points of consoles and video games.  Dan played the Legend of Fae, but spent most of his time being excited about the 2DS.  Greg dug deeper in to the reborn world of Final Fantasy 14: A Relm Reborn.  Madison caught some more Pokemon, and scared herself half to death with the Silent Hill HD Collection.  Heath didn't play anything new, but he did spend some time with his comfort food, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.  We wrapped up this early episode with another installment of Random Encounters, and we need your help to break a tie;  Who would win in this battle, Optimus Prime vs. Jeff (from Earthbound) ?  Let us know in the comments below, or on our Facebook page.
