Title: PODCAST: Radio Free Nintendo: Episode 117
Post by: Jonnyboy117 on October 06, 2008, 05:05:40 PM
Yet another ridiculous technical problem claims much of the show, but you still get a preview of our most anticipated fall games for Wii and DS.

 I don't want to talk about it.

The bad news is that we recorded awesome New Business, DLC Mondays, and Listener Mail segments that are both lost to the void.  On the bright side, the past couple of episodes have been under an hour!  At least some of our really long-time listeners may appreciate that.    


As we continue to learn some hard lessons about just exactly what can go wrong with producing a podcast, please enjoy this abbreviated episode in which we nevertheless manage to talk about twelve hot new games coming later this year.    


This was to be our first week of regular, weekly Listener Mail segments.  They'll be shorter but more consistent, and in order to pull that off, we need your feedback, comments, and questions.  What did we leave off our fall preview?  What do you think of Nintendo's media summit announcements?  Can you teach us to quit losing audio files?  Please write to us.  You know the address.

Rumor has it that Bloodworth stopped listening to our podcasts because they're "too long".

There's an address you can use directly, but I'm not going to type it out here (we try to minimize spam from bots).  So for now, you can use the form here by changing the drop-list to Radio Free Nintendo:

https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/mailstaff.cfm?staffid=65

We say the address on the show all the time, but it got cut off on this episode.

You should have referred to this video and what this musician will now be able to do.  He basically has two Game Boy Advance's duct taped together, its pretty impressive.  Its an interview Veronica Belmont did a while back.

Considering that we got a new business with no feature, and then a feature with no new business, I kinda feel like I just got one good, solid episode with a long-ass intermission in the middle.

Crimm, just curious, how much editing is involved with these? And what gets cut out of the average episode?  :P

Crimm is extremely discriminatory against Greg's bird who always gets cut besides one cameo. It is quite side.

Post by: Crimm on October 11, 2008, 12:17:11 AM
Are you kidding?!  The bird gets cranked up! 

I'd say I cut about 10 minutes for every hour of final product (most of it we never intended you to hear).  It takes about 2 and a half hours for every hour of podcast.  That includes the post-production after editing.

So...does that mean since you guys lost the Reader Mail for the past 3 (?) weeks, does that mean you'll re-address them in a future show?  I had a couple questions in that bag I'd still like answered.

Also, do you guys have some wierd encryption process or something in the coding for this site?  For some strange reason, my Internet Provider is blocking the site so I can only access it when my laptop's using a different Wi-Fi hotspot.

Also, now that I'm finally caught up on RFN (been behind since around episode 90) can I start asking when the next episode's going to come out?

Hey Crimm, any chance you're going to get episode 118 out before Friday?  ;)

The scope of the feature was games coming out during the rest of 2008, whereas Little King's Story is currently slotted for a January 2009 release I believe. I did end up cheating with Rhythm Heaven because we found out on the day of recording that it had been shifted back into early 2009 in North America, but other than that we stuck to this calendar year. If we had dipped into early '09 stuff there are many games that would have been worth mentioning, because it's already shaping up to be a pretty amazing year for Wii.

Lindy looks like Lex Luthor.

Johnny supposed looks like some hot stud or something based on how he describes himself.

Greg is missing all of his teeth and doesn't take baths so he is really greasy looking. He is constantly sipping his tea while on the podcast.

James has a wormhead according to his previous avatar that he sadly removed to protect his identity.

LOL, when have I described myself at all?  Mike Sklens gave me the nickname "sexies man" based on my voice, back when I used to host (live) radio trivia.  There are plenty of pictures of me on the site.  Look for the Koji Igarashi interview from this year's E3, or at the images of the original Nintendo DS.  I think I'm in the PGC E3 2002 DVD for about five seconds.

Is he Kevin Spacey or animated series Lex Luthor?
