As the RFN crew is taking the week off, Newscast delivers with a voice longtime RFN fans should be familiar with. Karl Casteneda joins us to discuss the last few weeks worth of news, and brings along New Business with him.
Zach is only able to join the 'cast for the first half this time around, but he gives his thoughts on Video Game Cheesecake. Neal gives early impressions of NBA Jam, and Andy tries to understand the Pokemon phenomenon.

I'm pretty sure I say Keiichi Yano instead of Keiji Inafune on this show.
Shame.
BTW, there's a port of Mega Man 2 for the iPhone. It's got some seriously wonky physics, kinda like the Sonic Genesis game for the GBA.
Cubello is stupid fun. I love the presentation, but the gameplay is definitely shallow and sometimes frustratingly random. It probably should have been priced at $5 or less.
By the way guys, the Newscast intro was great. I did a sort of double-take when the old RFN theme ("I'm a New Man") started.
Don't want to step on Jonny's toes here, but it's a Penny Arcade reference to Bioshock 2. That game's penultimate villain, Sophia Lamb, now controls the undersea dystopia of Rapture. In many places in the game, "Lamb is watching" is scrawled on the walls.
Tycho & Gabe added "the" to the beginning of that phrase for a completely different take on it.
