On this very special episode of Radio Free Nintendo...
We often get requests for the original RFN crew members to appear on the show; now you're getting a special treat, because this episode has all four classic podcasters, and none of the current crew is around to interfere with their antics!
Co-founders Evan Burchfield and Mike Sklens join "Nintendo Pirates" Karl Castaneda and Stan Ferguson to discuss recent games, RFN trivia, and their frustrations with Nintendo since leaving the staff of our fine website. Believe it or not, this is the first time all four of these guys have been on a show together!
Note: Your regularly scheduled program will continue this Sunday, with RFN Episode 156. Enjoy this bonus edition, full of nostalgia and immaturity!

...back then [when the 10.0 GBA Mario Tennis review came out] Nintendo actually made good games like 80% of the time.
>:( >:( >:(
Just for that I'd rate this podcast a 7.9
Though the Tim Rogers story was interesting. I loved hearing about the behind the scenes stuff through the years

I'd love to hear Evan take on the writing of Malstrom sometime.

sorry the new rfn is vastly superior, even random rants are more interesting.
having some clips of the episodes would have helped allot. I remember some of the stuff they talked about ( magic the gathering) but it just felt like they vomited this up .
if another reunion happens, i won't be joining.

a rambling mess. no focus at all. no idea what's going on and why I should care.

Thankfully I refused to listen to it for various reasons.

This was clearly catered to those of us who have been listening to RFN since the beginning. If you didn't, it's not a surprise you didn't enjoy it.I very rarely listened to RFN before the new crew took over, but I still really enjoyed this episode, largely becuase I was amused by the trivia banter, anecdotes about E3, a certain former "staffer" I don't think I ever even met, before or after he was fired, in spite of being at that E3.

Karl's trivia questions are really tough! I cracked up as just how much prep he seemed to put into that segment.I worked really hard on that, it's true! I listened to a bunch of old RFN that morning - probably for like two hours.
Anyway, sorry it wasn't your bag, Adolph. It was a very stream-of-consciousness production, and was never really meant to be anything else. Whenever we do these, they're mostly about getting together and making asses out of ourselves - some people dig it, and others don't. I definitely wouldn't want anyone thinking that this episode is indicative of a regular RFN episode, though (thank goodness it's not numbered) - the new crew's one of those rare teams that can be informative and professional, but still be goofy and entertaining. We just figured we'd pop our head in, tell some dirty jokes, rag on Nintendo, and be on our merry way.
Oh, and GP, I'm not sure what those various reasons might be, but you can never be sure you'll like or dislike something until you give it a go. You might just be surprised.

I was amused, however, when you guys discussed handling PR and the absolute nightmare that it is. The EA part was particularly funny and unbelievably accurate. Recently Neal figured out how to make magic happen with them and since then we have been on a roll. Don't think we've missed a single EA review copy from that point...

I shall remain silent so I do not insult certain individuals and leave it at that!

Also, I've said it in the past, but I think it bears repeating: None of us really hate Nintendo. We play up that gag to be hyperbolic. Disappointed? Probably. Frustrated? Definitely. But we're all still fans in some capacity - we just don't agree with some of their investments and recent developments.
Except Sklens - that dude's blood turns to boiling vinegar when he's talking Wii.
Not really.
Okay, kind of.
Mad World was great?

I miss Evan, NWR needs to start literary reviews so he can write for the site again.
Stan seemed out of it. Really didn't want to be there?
Karl has proven himself the best podcaster of the old guard over the long run. Keep us informed when you do a new podcast Karl!

And for the record, Madworld was one of the most overrated games of this generation, even more than GTA IV.

Sklens is a hater, I can respect that.

Yeah, I was very much out of it. Lot's of things going on during that day, none of them perky. On top of that, I didn't have a mic (hence the lovely background noise) and I got cut off halfway through the first segment. It was frustrating. Plus, I really had nothing interesting to add as I've had a very dull and non-videogame oriented life as of late. And my job in medical billing doesn't allow for interesting tales.
God forbid, I was almost emo.

You just better man the **** up for 203, dude. We gotta wreck that ep.Can't wait, I wasn't around for 103, but going back to it it is the funniest episode.
