The Creative Outlet Podcast: Recent Episodes
Brandon Pudwill
In the latest in catching up with previous recordings, it's time to react to another Nintendo Direct! This one was a presentation mostly with updates but a handful of new games for Brandon to react to as well. Princess Peach: Showtime is still confounding as ever, F-Zero 99 got a super excited reaction from Brandon, and Another Code: Recollection came along as an unexpected DS callback.

Another episode slowed by the necessities of... outside of podcast life! Ah well, at least it's here now with a bonus coming shortly. Join Brandon in this yet another belated episode where he discusses the wondrous information from the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct and wonders about Sony's decisions with the (at the time) newly named PlayStation Portal and its price increases for PlayStation Plus!

I'm getting some déjà vu here... Didn't we just talk about Dolphin and Steam and have a PlayStation topic? That may be true, but there's good reason for these seeming repeats! Join Brandon as he discusses Dolphin's official cancellation on Steam and gives a throwback to Sony's 2006 E3 presentation!

That climb down was something else! Kidding, kidding. I flew out to the mountains. In this episode, Brandon shares his first time experiencing the state of Colorado and comments on a new plea for SEGA to reenter the console market. And there's obligatory first impressions on wave five of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass and a mention on the latest regarding the Steam-Dolphin debacle.

Some situations come around where the only reasonable response is to be confused or to be concerned. These are the types of situations that make you go, "I don't know about this," and the main topics in today's show are just that. Join Brandon in this show where he discusses the confused (maybe nonexistent) audience for PlayStation's 'Project Q,' and the controversy going down trying to get the Dolphin Emulator on to Steam. (Plus some excitement from the demo for Pikmin 4!)

E3 may be gone, but it seems June game reveals are still a tradition! After Summer Games Fest, after Capcom presented its work so too did Nintendo in the latest Nintendo Direct, and that's what Brandon is here to cover today. Listen in to hear opinions on all kinds of things good and bad: Why was a Splatfest announced here? Why does Detective Pikachu Returns not look as good as it could? But on the other hand, bask in the glory of Pikmin 4 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder!

After this we're only going to be one step away from completing this little stay in the Mushroom Kingdom. Though it seems that this stay also required a couple of trips to the real world for a review of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass. In this episode join Brandon for some updates on the process getting here and a review of the first half (as it stands on June 4th, 2023) of the tracks in the Booster Course Pass. And no, despite the title there will be no F-Zero references in this episode...

The journey to this film has been a long time coming and if there's anyone whose been the most cautious along that journey, it's Brandon.

An issue I have identified in the gaming discourse over the last couple of years is simply unreasonable critique. This is nothing new on the internet, but from 2020 on it seems like some games have received far harsher or far less harsh critique than they may really deserve. This is all to one's own perspective mind you, but in this episode I venture to describe why I think two pieces from 2022 I enjoyed quite a bit received less reason in critique than I think was merited. I also describe an issue in Switch games I call the Splatoon model to set up a universal issue regarding some of these.

So we've missed one thus far. But no more! ...Well, at least as far as I can plan out I shall miss no more Nintendo Direct podcasts. Indeed, this piece of Creative Outlet Bonus content delves into Brandon's thoughts on the most recent full Nintendo Direct presentation. Hear him gush over Pikmin 4, praise the return of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, and be uninterested but obligated to cover The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. And spoilers, Episode 22 of the main show and an additional Creative Outlet Bonus have been recorded since this release.

The yearly tradition continues with this latest installment in the wrap up series. As with every year, Brandon sat down to look back at what all happened in the preceding year. When it comes to the podcast, it was paltry. When it comes to personal life, it changed quite a bit. But being that his favorite hobby involves games that also mandated the yearly Game of the Year discussion with nominees for 2022 Release of the Year, Personal Game of the Year, and a game for Backlog MVP.

An episode too many months in the making, it's time to hear reflections on the final semester in my college career. In this episode of the COP, listen to Brandon's reflections on the last time he'll ever have to step foot in a college classroom. Like with the last semester reflection there's talk of classes abound but also this time he needed to do a bit of a send off to some people he'd been around for two of the three years he could say he was at college.

The Creative Outlet Podcast has not been around long enough to necessarily establish any traditions, but seeing as this is the first type of episode to occur two years running, this may be the first one. As promised the second year wrap-up podcast is here with Brandon discussing the typical topics such as reflections on the past year for the COP, his 2021 Game of the Year, and an overview of the world in 2021.

What better topic to return to The Creative Outlet Podcast on than the very thing I just finished up experiencing? In this episode of the COP, listen in to hear some reflections on Brandon's experience back on campus for the first time since March 2020. There's talk of classes, social interactions, and a bit of philosophy in the return of the Creative Outlet Podcast.

The final entry in the Creative Outlet Gaming Birthday Extravaganza is finally upon us. What better way could there be to celebrate it than by looking at the oldest anniversary of the (banana) bunch? This episode sees Brandon pay his respects to one of gaming's giants, the ape that established stories in video games: Donkey Kong. Whether it's in construction sites, on his jungle island, or up in the Northern Kremisphere, the Donkey Kong and its Country subseries have always provided hours of fun. So for the last time, sit back for an hour and a half of game overviews, future discussions and a special question: What is the best way to solve the tedium switching Kongs in Donkey Kong 64?

This show may not be all about power, nor does it have immense courage; However, Brandon can at least bring you some wisdom on The Legend of Zelda. Though it may not be his favorite series, Brandon would feel remiss by not covering the 35th anniversary of one of the most important franchises in gaming history. This episode is not so much an open adventure like you see in Zelda, but more of a guided tour through Brandon's overview and experiences with the series, a discussion of what the future may hold for Zelda, and a discussion of a special question: What could be done to make the Zelda CD-i games good?

And now it is time to give another pair of consoles their due. In this installment of the Creative Outlet Gaming Birthday Extravaganza, rejoice in the jump to 3D as the Nintendo 64 turns 25 years old and see how that transition got a bit smoother when the GameCube came to up the ante. There's plenty of memories to be had for these two consoles (though Brandon admittedly missed out on their heydays) between established series like The Legend of Zelda and brand new experiences with improved GameCube iterations like Super Smash Bros. There might not be a question about these consoles' futures or a special topic to go along with them, but this discussion still takes you to new dimensions.

This episode was a bit more exciting to make than others. Indeed, the one console that Brandon dedicated a whole episode to is the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Being the first console he ever played, it only makes sense that this is a special system worthy of dedicating an hour and a half to. Like with other episodes, Brandon talks about his history with the SNES and overviews its history, he dives into what the future may hold for the SNES, and handles a special topic. In this episode Brandon asks Where was the 16-bit retro revival?

TAKE THAT! Well, take this, a brand new episode of The Creative Outlet Podcast! Enjoy Brandon's retrospective on one of his favorite series, releasing just in time for the Ace Attorney 20th anniversary. This episode has it all... (HOLD IT!) Okay, the overview only covers the main games, but there is plenty beyond that like the usual discussion of Ace Attorney's future and the special topic. Maybe one day Brandon will return to discussion the Investigations sub-series and the newly released Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, but in the meantime there is a whole show to cover, including something brand new: a tier list segment. Needless to say, no one can raise an OBJECTION! to this episode.

Thank the Nintendo gods as even audio listeners are receiving this Creative Outlet Bonus focusing on the final fighter coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is a segment that was promised regardless of the Creative Outlet Gaming Birthday Extravaganza, and fortunately since the Sora presentation itself was announced in a Nintendo Direct, Brandon went ahead and gave his impressions on that as well. So take a listen audio fans as normally you'd have to stop over to YouTube to find this bonus content (as will likely be the case for the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct Bonus).

As promised, this episode is the first in The Creative Outlet Podcast's mini series celebrating game and console anniversaries! These episodes are being released in no particular order, so today we start off the show by celebrating the Sonic the Hedgehog series. SEGA's blue blur is turning 30 years old in 2021 with new games and merchandise in hand for the occasion, but for Brandon it is simply a cause to sit back and reflect on his experiences with Sonic, talk about what the future could be like and ask some fun questions. This episode's special topic: What should the Sonic series take/learn from fangames?

We have crossed the double digit barrier, in this discussion of legacies, some continuing and some destroyed. In this episode of The Creative Outlet Podcast, join Brandon in learning about a silly fan theory about a Game Boy Advance screenshot, hearing about Kazuya Mishima joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, asking What should the Wii U legacy be, and enjoying some first impressions of Mario Golf: Super Rush!

Let's start the summer right with an E3 2021 episode! We at The Creative Outlet Podcast did not get to talk about E3 last year since it did not happen, so hopefully this is the start of a yearly tradition. Either way, join Brandon in discussing his reflections from the summer semester, and every E3 show (and a couple of extras!)

After an extended hiatus (that will be explained in C.O.P Episode 5), The Creative Outlet Podcast has returned with an episode recorded in mid-March. Some of the information in this episode will be outdated, and impressions on how bad COVID-19 would be are certainly outdated. However, the show must go on to be as entertaining as it can. In this episode, Brandon uses the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Direct as an excuse to give a preview on the new content, he discusses his beef with Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled, describes what issues are present trying to play games at college, and finally gives his retrospective on Looney Tunes.
