Great episode guys, it's been awhile since we had some good 'ol listener mail. Also, it was almost surreal to hear Greg make a Newt Gingrich.

I'm shocked at how bad of a Mick Jagger impersonator that guy was. But it was still awesome to play.

Also, was that a Majora's Mask Retroactive I heard being hinted at, or are my ears deceiving me?

Crap....well, as I guessed, now I'm stuck on Chapter 15. I can pretty much clear out the map, but the boss in the northwest always kills at least one of my party members, and I'm not willing to lose any party members at this point.

As of now Ch. 15 I am seriously considering doing this chapter with only Ewan and Amelia just to see it happen. In fact I think I could do it with just Amelia and enough ammo.
Though I probably bring Tethys to speed it along.
Chapter 15 is a VERY HARD MAP! It's easily one of the hardest levels in the game, and I can only imagine how Glad0s is going to fair up with that one xD. What does your team consist of? It could be the units you are using that is making it more challenging.
Oh no, if 15's harder than 14......Well, anyway, my party consists of Ephraim, Seth, Gilliam, Dozla, Duessel, Joshua, Gerik, and then by the time I get to the boss, Rennac.

Here are just a few games random games on my bucket list:
SNES: Lets get the big ones out of the way: Link to the Past and Super Metroid (hides in the corner)! You see, I was going to buy these just the other day on the Wii shop, but then the ambassador GBA games came out, and I felt like Fusion and Minish Cap were enough to scratch those two itches. I have 1600 shop points, so should I bite the bullet and buy them? Also on the SNES: Harvest Moon and Super Mario RPG. (Also, this evening I finally beat Chrono Trigger for the first time. Such a good game!)
N64: Majora's Mask. I have no excuse now that I have the download ticket from Club Nintendo.
GCN: Batten Kaitos, Jungle Beat, and Metroid Prime. I've tried Prime before, but I just couldn't deal with the controls. I'll eventually try it again.
DS: Radient Historia.
Also, I'm a Mega Man virgin. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good game to start at?

Well, I've finally hit my road block. I'm on the chapter titled "Father and Son" (#14, I believe), and I have tried it around 5 or 6 times, only for a few of my characters to die once I reach the boss. This is the first time I've been stuck so far, and up to this point I've actually found the game fairly easy. I think I may have let a few too many people die. Now I only have 7 party members.

Well, this is my first strategy RPG, and I've gotta say: I love it. Now, that's not to say that it can't be frustrating at times, but overall I think that this is a really, really good game. I've put around 12 hours in it and I am now stuck on Chapter 14. But, for some reason, getting stuck in this game isn't as annoying as it is getting stuck in a typical JRPG. I dunno, but it feels like winning is always possible, and that everytime you try a map again, it seems completely different than the last time you attempted it. Also, grinding feels much less repetitive and quicker than in other RPG's. My only major qualm with the game is that I sometimes wish that the enemy phase would move more quickly. Oh, and also, quite a few members of my party have died. Ross, all the healers, all the magic users, all the archers, that girl who rides on the pegasus thing....yeah, that's kind of a lot.....Will this severely hurt me in the final stages of the game? I'm playing on easy, by the way.

Good to hear. I've been using that one since the beginning, and hoping that my poor times weren't because of the kart. But now I know it's just me. I need to work on my drifting.

Mission Impossible 4
9/10
Surprisingly good. Brad Bird did a fantastic job with the directing, and the acting was also really good for a movie of this type. The special effects and set pieces were amazing, and Michael Giacchino's score was great too. And yes, since Bird and Giacchino were involved, there was a bit of The Incredibles deja vu. Highly reccomended. Oh, and if you're a fan of Nolan's Batman films, it's worth seeing the movie in IMAX just to see the trailer on that massive screen. Holy crap, is it awesome.

I chose Fire Emblem, since that's the ambassador game I've put the most time into, and also my favorite of the three.
