Absence continues to make the heart grow fonder.

Muscular French "Chibiz" are the future!
With Jon Lindemann sitting in the host's chair for the jet-setting Jonathan Metts and the calamity of Episode 103 still fresh in everyone's memory, only someone with a title as sober-sounding as "Senior Editor" could be trusted to maintain the maturity of the show, and so Radio Trivia host Michael "TYP" Cole joins the rest of the usual crew for another extensive episode of RFN.
After a New Business segment that includes James making friends with Winnie the Pooh and the unthinkable combination of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and vocal communication, the discussion shifts to the news, including: Mega Man 9 for WiiWare, Castlevania's unanticipated foray into 3D fighting, and Ubisoft's continuing attempts to force James into anger management therapy.
In the final segment, the gang responds to a healthy dose of mail mostly directed at Jonny (naturally), running the gamut of listener concerns from Boom Blox's lacklustre sales to the very survival of the survival horror genre. So sit back, enjoy, and discover James' deep-seated fear of men's biceps.

Lindy did a great job hosting even with the Wormhead trying usurp his power.
Thanks for the kind words all. I did my best to keep things under control! Hosting is definitely a different experience, since you have to keep track of what's going on and act like a referee of sorts (especially with James). I can't just space out like I normally do. ;D
My favorite part is when James indignantly says, "I don't know man, you're the host!" like I wasn't doing my job, when I was actually giving him the floor as part of my HOSTING DUTIES.
No respect, I tell ya. No respect.
I'd like to request Denis Dyack as a guest for an upcoming episode.

No Kairon needs to be the next guest.

LOL. I remember when I saw that for download off Nintendo channel I laughed and imminently downloaded it out of morbid curiosity. That and Lords of thunder are two ongoing jokes that I never grow tired of. When the review is finally posted it will be a MEGATON EVENT.Thanks for the kind words all.

Hey Jon, how's Spiderwick?
You have a good point, what does differntiate survival horror from other genres? The whole survival horror genre (like many genres this generation) is having trouble evolving. That's where I give Alone in the dark credit. It's at least trying to add new things and evolve the genre rather than morph it into the action shooter genre.

I haven't played it, but I thought it was more Dynasty Warriors style brawler.
I think we've found a way to drive up community member count; have Greg whisper sweet nothings into the microphone on the next podcast.
"Well, that's just it, isn't it really? Prrrr..."
Just so everybody knows, we're doing something different for the next few weeks because of E3. There should be something soon this week, but next week our plans are pretty different.

Didn't we already get enough different with Episode 103?

A video podcast w/ 4 screens for each member of the crew?
I paid $50 of my own money for Boom Blox and think it's totally worth it.
Perception is reality. I never said the game isn't worth 50 bucks. I said that it's presentation sure as hell isn't, and really that's all you have to go on from the box.
I'd say the market has confirmed my assessment.
I guess I understand what James is saying. From the presentation on the box, title screen, etc., Boom Blox looks similar to a lot of budget-priced casual Wii games. It's too bad, because there is an amazing game for people who are willing to look beneath the surface.
I have two time sensitive features, that need to be out like...yesterday, a review (on hold), and a time sensitive podcast.
A little busy, yes. In my defence, we recorded Tuesday night, and Wednesday was devoted to one of the features.
My goal is feature 1 tonight, feature 2 and RFN tomorrow, review Sunday.
"In my defence..."
James = Greg?
Sheep Die has my vote!
Sounds too much like MGS4.
