PODCAST: Radio Free Nintendo: Episode 120
« on: October 28, 2008, 07:55:51 PM »
Karl joins us to talk about how hype affects games and gamers.

 Sorry, Denis.

Greg returns to us in this episode, and Karl tags along for a full-on, five-man show.  We keep New Business unusually brisk, with a heavy focus on WiiWare games.  Also, Jonny finally got to play Too Human, and you know he has some thoughts on that.    


In the second segment, we take care of DLC Mondays and also revisit some of the lost Listener Mail.  Please keep those emails coming, as we are going to take a serious crack at reading three to five letters every single week.    


In the final segment, Greg leads us on a rambling conversation about gaming hype -- how it is created, and how it can be positive and negative for the games themselves.  Somehow, this leads into various comparisons between games and movies.  We even dig up the auteur theory... where's Evan when you need him?  (Actually, we plan to have him on the show soon.)

Oh snap, didn't know this was going up so soon. Episode 2 of TAWK-112 is going up tomorrow, for those of you interested! Thanks to the dudes for letting me pimp the show.

Oh yeah, so I totally behaved in this episode. Couldn't pull another 103 without Stan, anyway. He's one of the only people who can get that rise out of me. Also, I really wish we had Burchfield on there for the auteur argument, but oh well. I'm sure he'll bring it up at some point or another.

I don't hate Jonny as much as his warning made me expect to hate him, though comparing Miyamoto to Tom Clancy is giving Miyamoto far too little credit, especially now that Ubisoft can attach his name to something he had literally nothing to do with. Other than that it was a great feature and a great episodde.

James has done an excellent job of catching up.  We are now back on the schedule that we had a few months ago.

I second the theory about 1up's Wii Music review.

By the way, great feature topic!

I'm sure Jonny finds this statement comforting.

I've assumed since all my WiiWare-related complaints that he no longer reads what I post so he probably has no idea that I ever had a problem with his statements.

I think a better comparison than Tom Clancy would be Walt Disney. During his later years he no longer drew the animation cels, but he sure as heck was the foundation of the empire and his personality and vision was so strong it permeated throughout almost every product the Disney corportation produced while he was still alive. The same could be said of Miyamoto.

Will Miyamoto be frozen as well to ensure the integrity of the Mario Bros series in 3020?

RE:  the discussion about changing in DQ IX and Pokemon

I don't know if you realize this, but what you guys said mirrored exactly what I said in the talkback thread for RFN 114.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Jonny, what did you mean by not being sure if you'd still give TP a 10 today? You said your a "different person now", in what way?

Sorry if this is to personal. It just threw up a flag in my head for some reason.

Just because Jonny wouldn't give it a 10 now doesn't mean he suddenly doesn't like the game. 10 is a very strong score. I think most reviewers would agree that a 9 vs a 10 amounts to very little when we're talking about whether a game is highly recommended.

It's an 8.0 at best.  Strictly hardcore speaking.

Speaking of 8.0 score, TAWK almost reaches that, but I give it a 7.9. Sorry, no talkback for their podcast.

7 Points are due to Karl. .9 points to his stoner gang.

TYP don't take it wrong, I'm not a fan of TP. I'm asking what changed. That's all.
