We return from the hiatus with a slightly shorter episode. Includes a bizarre discussion of Star Wars continuity.

Jon Lindemann has been a key part of the show for months, but he takes center stage on this episode... even when he's not present. The rest of us chat about Dr. Mario and Star Wars Battlefront 2 during the first segment, with an ultra-geeky argument over the Star Wars movies somewhere in the middle.

Lindy finally joins us in the latter half, and we set off to analyze recent news stories like the announcement of Guitar Hero: World Tour, the new Tecmo Bowl games, and a steaming pile of crap from Ubisoft.

Man oh man. This is a long one. 2 hours 20 minutes and change.

If that's not enough for you. Here's a bonus stinger!

Thanks Crimm!

Wow! How does Greg know more about College Football than the rest of the RFN staff?? Hilarious!

Crimm · « **Reply #4 on:** June 06, 2008, 04:34:51 PM »

This is not true. I have a very strong knowledge of the subject.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #5 on:** June 06, 2008, 04:37:52 PM »

The NFL's my area of expertise, as we actually get to see that over here on TV. My knowledge of college football is mostly limited to the aspects of it that relate to the NFL, so I doubt I outrank any of my RFN colleagues in that regard actually.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #6 on:** June 06, 2008, 04:42:33 PM »

So if I listen to this podcast I get to hear complaining about the prequels and George Lucas? Maybe I should skip this one!

Awesome, this means you've witnessed the amazing feats of Devin Hester, the man who single handedly took the Bears to the Super Bowl in 2006!

My brother's a huge Bears fan, so I'm quite intimately familiar with Hester and the team as a whole. They did have one of the best defenses in the league in '06 as well as a good running game, so it certainly wasn't all Hester. But to be two TDs away from breaking the all-time record for career kick/punt TDs in just two seasons in the league is unbelievable - Devin Hester, you are ridiculous!

Check out what IGN says about Family Table Tennis:

Quote

You can do much better things with five dollars. Buy yourself some marbles. Buy your five friends some gum. Or maybe you'd like a yo- yo? I honestly don't care if you throw your five dollars in the trash. Just don't buy this game. Otherwise, there might be a sequel, I might have to play it, and I might have to kill myself. Seriously, even for five dollars, Family Table Tennis is offensive, epitomizing exactly the type of ambitionless software we don't want on WiiWare or on Wii.
IGN Ratings for Family Table Tennis (Wii)

Full Review

2.5/10, Lasting appeal 0.0.

Haha, that's awesome you know so much about the team! I didn't think there was much passion for the NFL in UK, and the game over there last year with Miami I'm sure didn't help much.

But yes, I"m a huge Bear fan as well having grown up in the midwest. Here's to Rex somehow getting his mojo back this year!!

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #11 on:** June 06, 2008, 06:30:09 PM »

Why did they resign Rex Grossman? WHY GOD WHY? I will never understand why they didn't draft Brohm.

I'm a massive Atlanta Falcons fan, hence Greg's comments about Petrino. Greg and I often converse about football, but the conversations are usually like:

Greg: OMG Buffalo bills r the bestz JP losman iz my dad LOlzoorrrzzz!!!!!
Jon: I'm sorry Greg, I missed that because I was too busy learning the intricacies of the 4-3 defense.

Man I wish I would have made the first part of this podcast. There would have been BLOOD

EDIT: Yes, Greg, please review Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. And Jonny, go to hell.

The pic just about sums it all up, sadly.

to talk about the neo geo game titles the ps1 was worse. late in its life they had a ton of games just called what they were. there was darts, shooter, billiards, fighter, and im pretty sure racer. i cant remember the name of the company that made these games, and they all retailed for 20 bucks. i remember working at game stop at the time and wanting to become a programer just so i could work for that company.

update: the company was agetec

not that any one cares but me.

Wait, if you get NFL in the UK, do they call it Football? American Football? Freedom Fries Ball?

Fishing Master 2: Online?

How does one become a fishing master? Do you unlock master bait to use?

i think with the translation it comes out to "super awesome donkey putt putt". American to English translations are really tough.

Looks like GoNintendo may have officially been offended. Just checked their website and there is no link to RFN 101 to be found. No loss.

I've listed to The Wiire a couple times too. Nice guys, well organized, but man o man, so utterly boring. Shoot yourself in the leg kind of boring.

Crimm · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2008, 10:38:26 PM »

Hey, I'm not the one who called it the "Let's be stupid cast." That came from GP.

damn I didn't get to the end because my internet is acting weird again. This time i think it is the router, as it has been giving me problems for some time now.

I got to the part where you guys started talking about Madden and Pro Evo Soccer.

With the greater brand awareness over here these days, a lot of the time it can just be referenced as "the NFL" and assumed that the audience knows what is being talked about. Outside of that, it's referred to as American Football.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #24 on:** June 08, 2008, 02:03:57 PM »

I think Greg is an anomaly among Brits in terms of his fascination with the NFL. He follows it more closely than I do, and I'm one of those "check the Falcons page on ESPN.com and AJC.com every day" kinda guys.

I'll never know why he sticks with the Bills, though. I mean, Buffalo isn't even a nice place to visit, so that shatters the "One day I'll see my team play at home in person" dream right there. Greg, you should have picked Miami or San Diego.
