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:

Just started it.

I actually bought Pitstop II on VC a while back for curiosity sakes. It reminds me of a poor man's version of Pole Position.

Stratos · « **Reply #3 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:51:53 PM »

Oh, name dropping and Conduit! I wonder if he lays the smack on Kraken and I. It needs to hurry and finish D/Ling so I can listen to it.

kraken613 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 28, 2009, 06:05:11 PM »

I got a drop! He didn't mention I went up and killed him ALOT! Like he would kill me once I would kill him 6 times! lol

Lindy remember ASE football with rocket launchers! EPIC!!!

JAMES YOU SHOULD Buy High - Box component VGA convertor

http://www.gameyeeeah.com/highbox-component-to-vga-converter-p-1157.html

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.

Here is a cool let's tap video. Similar to what Jonny talked about.

They use different size boxes to see what works.

Epic Win.

I still think Donkey Konga drums version of Let's Tap would be awesome.

kraken613 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:03:16 PM »

I just drove down to Blockbuster and rented Lets Tap. I will be doing a video!

I will try it on/in these:

Wii Wheel
Zapper
Tiger Woods 10 M+ Box
Balance Board
DSi
DSi Box
DS Game box

Unfortunately don't have my Rock Band drums where I am now.

EDIT: Just shot and edited the video! I am processing the video right now then I will put it up on Youtube!

Listening to it now. I'll play Team Fortress with you once I get my new computer next month, Jonny.

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.

Stratos · « **Reply #10 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:40:02 AM »

MMmm...trolling Jonny's Gamer Grub blog. One of my favorite past times

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #11 on:** June 29, 2009, 08:30:06 AM »

I'd like to defend my review output a bit.

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?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2009, 12:05:11 PM »

Yeah James, where is Rune Factory?

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2009, 01:18:47 PM »

Why don't you guys just farm out VC and WiiWare reviews out to the forum, and post the best ones on the front page? I'm willing to bet that between all of the people on the forum, if people knew that there was a chance of ending up on the front page, that you could get decent reviews of most of the games that come out. I know I would do a few here and there if I thought there was a chance I'd get out on the front page. Might be a good chance to feature your awesome community (that's us) on your main site as well.

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.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:39:42 PM »

I think the fact that I, the crazy nut who buys way too many VC games, haven't bought any of the VC games that have come out so far this whole year shows how bad things have been.

Stratos · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:43:42 PM »

Yeah, I've noticed your VC/WW numbers in your sig haven't grown much recently. And that's saying something because you buy a lot of them.

TheFleece · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2009, 09:38:07 PM »

Thanks for reading my letter, I feel like peripherals have become a form of shovelware in that there seems to be no end to them regardless of how many iterations exist already. And yeah I meant these forums entirely

But damn I haven't been around in months, right?

Stratos · « **Reply #17 on:** June 30, 2009, 02:08:06 AM »

Has it really been months? We talked about GTA Chinatown Wars a little bit back. OK, maybe that was longer than that. I lose track of time easily.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #18 on:** June 30, 2009, 03:50:07 AM »

This is week, um 5 I think of no mention of Jungle Speed.

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

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2009, 04:03:44 AM »

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.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #20 on:** June 30, 2009, 05:19:30 PM »

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

Stratos · « **Reply #21 on:** June 30, 2009, 05:24:38 PM »

GP, you could write in a letter to the cast giving your thoughts on it. You could also mention how I referred it to my friend and his wife based on your recomendation and they love the game to death. (I still haven't gotten to go over a play it with them...)

LOL, Lindy, that was strangely hilarious.

At least Rune Factory is a 300 hour game!

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!
