Things are getting back to normal on the show, except that Lindy has two cool games to talk about! He gets all talky on Gradius V and The Conduit, name-dropping several forum members in the process. Jonny is catching up with Half-Life, James is trying to connect his Wii to a monitor, and Greg is discovering Planet Puzzle League as well as the original Super Mario Kart.
Your listener mail brings up topics like downloadable game coverage, Wii peripheral overload, and the Wii Zapper (plus Super Scope). In a poignant bookend to Jon's featured role on the episode, we end with Let's Tap. Credits:

JAMES YOU SHOULD Buy High - Box component VGA convertor

My review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCZ1B3caMk4
I use it and love it. 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
With shipping about $60.
It has a pass through port so I can use my monitor and not have to disconnect anything. I just push a switch to switch between Wii and computer.

They use different size boxes to see what works.
Epic Win.

I heard Lindy's wife on WiiSpeak saying "So I point it at the screen like this?" and I was like "Is that Mrs. Lindy? Hi!" So we all said hi to Mrs. Lindy. I believe she also shot me once. Good for her.

1) I'm a college student and it is summer. I have a summer job three days a week during the day. Other than that, I have free time. This is something a lot of other staff members lack.
2) Pale's been away for two weeks and he does our shipping. I have been able to buy important games (Tiger Woods, GST) in the interim.
3) Where's Rune Factory, James?

Just a thought.
Thanks for reading my letter, even if NONE OF YOU had used the stupid Zapper shell that I've come to love so dearly. Not love. Like. Kind of.

BTW Jonny my first HD TV was just like yours, a CRT HDTV with 4.3 and it was terrible for 360 games!

Coincidentally GP, this is week 5 of our strike against mentioning Jungle Speed. We're like two ships passing in the night...LOL, Lindy, that was strangely hilarious.

Yeah James, where is Rune Factory?
At least Rune Factory is a 300 hour game!

Regarding Apollo Justice: I think Capcom wants you to hate the characters in the first chapter. I liked them well enough by the end, but I think Capcom overdid how much Phoenix acts like a jerk at the start.
Having completed the game now, I agree with this. I still hate Trucy just because she has the worst name ever.

How can you hate Trucy? She's adorable in that magician's outfit!

Is she even that old? It's been a while since I played Apollo Justice, but I could have sworn she was younger than that. But then again, considering her relationship with...that...I guess she couldn't be that much younger.

So James, did you get your VGA Wii cables yet? Tell me how you like them and what brand they are, I want some for my 22'' widescreen in my room.
Trust me. Use the same thing I got. High-Box VGA convertor. That is the way to go. 480i, 480p, all the way until 1080p so you can play 360 if you don't have HDMI.
I have been using that to play against you online with Conduit. Having a big widescreen display is very nice
I have not. UPS says in the next few days.
Cancel it if you can.

You can never tell these days.
I'm just sayin'.

I've had my Wii hooked up to a computer monitor ever since I got it, but it's a special monitor that doubles as a HD TV so it has VGA, Component, Composite, HDMI, etc. I've never had any trouble having my Wii hooked up to it via component cables, though I'm kind of curious now what it would look like hooked up via VGA. Maybe I'll finally have a Wii game that looks as good as the screenshots companies and the press release online (something that's been bugging me since the GameCube era). -_-'
it will look the same as yours.
The thing I have is a convertor. It converts COMPONENT into VGA. I played Conduit on it, and I do think the game looks fantastic better than internet movies and pictures. The signal is not changed to anything superior. 480p is 480p nothing more. It does have some cool options. I did try to play the Wii in 1080p and it worked. The problem was that it shrunk it back to 4:3 where it was 16x9 before.
