Innuendo!
Episode 45: Nintendo Pirate Radio Rides Again
Fact is, folks, not every week can be interesting, and March 19th-25 was straight up dull. Combine this with the fact that most of the staff was busy with other projects (or "lives" as they sometimes refer to them as), and well, you've got a recipe for disaster.
However, all is not lost! Returning seemingly out of nowhere is Stan Ferguson, who hasn't done an RFN since Episode 34! In celebration of this, we present to you an old-fashioned Nintendo Pirate Radio, chock-full of deviations from the topic at hand, more cursing than a pack of sailors, and Swete Pete: Pirate of the Jungle. You definitely don't want to miss it.

Edit: Time travel! I will refrain from renaming the title...

I am now at the 85 hour mark in DQVIII, but you're right. I likely won't be playing through it again any time soon. My next goal with my shiny new PS2 is to catch up on the FF games. I haven't played one since VII, since that game pissed me off so much.

I just wanted to say... Kid Icarus is one of the only three virtual console games I've bought, and I will join Stan and Pale to stand in the cheery glow of its 8-bit brilliance. Karl, you just don't know because you weren't born yet. I'm sorry that you're not older, and you should be too.
Plus, it's one of the most mature adventures of the 8-bit era, right after Thomas and his never-ending battle against confetti balls and other fearsome kung fu warriors in, um, Kung Fu. Where else could you find such adult-oriented game play as this scenario:
"Fear not, noble warriors. I will save you all with my magic "WEE-WA" mallet, petrified Centurions, only to have you utterly destroyed three by three in glorious battle against the boss of the temple where you were imprisoned. I mourn the fact that your steely helmet and ability to fly (albeit in a predictable "wave" pattern) couldn't overcome your puny, slow arrows or lack of a healthbar. I will bear your charred carcases back to your homeland after this fight is done, but for now, I have a giant, one-eyed, screen-filling boss to shoot in the eye over and over and over again."
P.S. – You guys scared me when you suddenly yelled out "BE THERE" in unison. I nearly fell out of my chair at the coffeeshop.

After that 3 month period if people want to Download it it will be $5, but come on people you have 3 months to get it if you already have a Wii so just do it, I know I am.

Second'd.
But on the topic of radio/podcast host, my nod goes to TYP. He's the bees knees if you know what I mean. Frankly, I think he's got the best voice for it and all that jazz. And I'm not joking. He really is my choice for best host. And he is great off the cuff too. And that's my two cents. Well, 23 skidoo.

I disagree that there's such a thing as an ideal length for games. If a developer wants to give me 50 or 100 hours of great gameplay, I'll gladly take it.

I prefer the ones where Evan hosts.

I think the ideal length is just that it ends before it wears itself out. If a game does that, and is more than a couple hours long, I'm happy. If a game is a couple hours long, it better have a lot of replay value or be very cheap. That's just me, though.
