TalkBack / Radio Free Nintendo - Episode 19
« on: September 25, 2006, 09:00:00 AM »
In this thrilling episode, the Pirates, Karl and Stan, have a battle of wits with the unarmed Evan Burchfield as Jonny sits back and laughs.
A perfect ten.
A perfect ten.
Yet again, we've gone and filled the cup to the brim with a four man podcast. Evan, hosting again, asks Jonny, Stan, and Karl pertinent questions regarding the Wii remote speakers, the depth of third party support Wii needs to succeed, and our recent glut of controversial articles.
Episode 19: For the Sake of Controversy
You can also listen to the podcast on Odeo.
Wii Megaton. . .one week later. Don't think your mail and comments go unnoticed. What with Evan's Zelda editorial, Karl's questioning the potency of the Wii controller, Jonny's reign of terror, and Stan's Mario Tennis review (What? Again?), we've all had our share of controversy here at PGC. We've decided to discuss a few of these controversies and possibly create some more as we discuss what third party support is needed for the Wii to be successful. But then there's that darn policy that Jonny mentions...
However in order for us to be successful in stirring the pot, we need you, our fair readers and listeners, to comment, send email to our podcast address, and of course review us (your big chance to strike back!) on iTunes.
And though Evan stole his own thunder last night, we're also announcing the big Naruto/Radio Free Nintendo contest.
Thanks for listening, and Sweet Pete says, "Hi."

I believe that's the PS2. Though, I'm not 100% sure.

Damn you all for making this thread into an argument over movies.
Soderbergh was good until he started smoking crack. And Scorcese makes boring movies. And yes, I include Taxi Driver. End of conversation.

This was actually a concern of mine. I wasn't too hot on selling it here for fear of (OMG CUSSING!), so I left the decision to Karl (since he has greater PGC seniority).
As far as chemistry goes, Karl and I are much better than those two yahoos Vudu mentioned. I can't even remember their names. I think one is Bevan? or is it Bethany? Guido?

NWR Feedback / RE: Did PGC get invited to the Leipzig Nintendo Event?
« on: September 21, 2006, 05:39:38 AM »
My Sports Editor title is a ruse. I'm really the NDA guy on staff. Nintendo has shown me everything. And let me tell you, when The Garden of Earthly Delights comes out in the US, I'm sure even Rapture itself wouldn't compare to the mass hysteria.

Quit apologizing, Pale. Many people do have speaker setups at home. While some still play with their default television audio, unless they have a craptacular B&W set from the 80s, then the speakers are significantly better than that on the DS. Anyone here defending the use of this "feature" without an alternative is the type that would accept anything Nintendo would give us because it is from the almighty Nintendo. Obviously, since Nintendo is above reproach, the executives cannot make bad decisions (unless, of course, they admit to it later on) and consequently, this remote speaker is a brilliant idea on par with GBA connectivity.
However, there are those of us who can still be fans and realize when our team is doing something retarded.

"Wii will be sold as an affordable, mass-consumer product at an MSRP in the US of just $249.99. The price includes one wireless Wii Remote controller, one Nunchuk™ controller and the groundbreaking collection of five different Wii Sports games on one disc, which anyone can play using simple physical movements, experienced or not."
And that's from the press release. Also from NOA.
