Your cast members for this week are your host Adam (Really wants to be a Cucco for some reason), Chris (Bringing positive vibes Directly…To You), and special guest Derrick (Spends most of the time correcting our idiot of a host).Thank you to everyone who sent in fan topics, emails, theme song submissions, and general words of kindness.

0:00.0	Hey, everybody, welcome to episode 45 of the ZI podcast. My name is Adam, and thank you for joining us.
0:16.5	But before we get into this week's podcast, here's the news read for this week. Please enjoy.
0:37.6	Gamers, companies, and everyone online took a moment this week to thank and honor the memory of Satur Iwana, who fell victim to a long battle with bile duct infection. Iwada has been undergoing treatment for over a year and was forced to miss E3 last year as a result. He was 55 years of age and left the legacy behind that affected generations.
0:41.3	There's a booklet at the Nintendo World Store for people to write in their own thoughts and wishes, as well as a thread on Meverse for those of you would like to say something.
0:45.6	Last weekend, nerds took over San Diego at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.
0:49.3	The Suicide Squad movie trailer was leaked and Warner Bros. was kind enough to release the high-quality
0:53.3	versions in response.
0:55.1	Seyghaz posted an official DLC trailer for Sonic Generations featuring the Shilabuff motivational speech.
1:00.4	Two fans of Bill Nye have started a Kickstarter to create a documentary about his life.

1:16.9	Thank you once again for joining me.
1:17.9	My name is Adam.
1:18.9	The opening theme from this week is not our usual with Brandon that he's so kind to have made
1:22.4	for us.
1:23.4	It's actually the song from Earthbound, which is one of Iwada's, I guess, his biggest accomplishments
1:31.2	early on in his career. The game was a mess when it was first made, and he decided to take it
1:36.9	under his mantle and reprogram the whole thing from scratch. So this is kind of a little tribute,
1:42.3	I guess.
1:46.1	But yeah, this week I'm joined by.
1:48.4	Hey guys, it's Chris coming at you live.
