We're back! Maybe too back.
Episode 101: Silky Smooth
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.

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.
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!

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)

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!!

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.

I will never understand why they didn't draft Brohm.
Wait...who drafted Brohm?
Oh yeah, the Packers!

Wait, if you get NFL in the UK, do they call it Football? American Football? Freedom Fries Ball?
i think with the translation it comes out to "super awesome donkey putt putt". American to English translations are really tough.

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.

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.

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.
Post by: NWR_insanolord on June 08, 2008, 04:10:15 PM
As for EA Sports, the Wii games do have the standard options in addition to Family Play, the big thing in Nintendo Power says so.
Post by: Yoshidious on June 08, 2008, 06:50:16 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.

Errrrrr no, you're not going to convince me I should've picked Miami. And I have been to Buffalo to see them in person, it was entirely awesome and I'm sure the city needed my tourist dollars, so put that in your pipe and smoke it ;)

So if I listen to this podcast I get to hear complaining about the prequels and George Lucas? Maybe I should skip this one!
Actually, I defend the Star Wars prequels in some ways.
Regarding other Nintendo podcasts, I downloaded last week's episode of IGN Nintendo Voice Chat and did enjoy that. It's very brisk and has little in-depth discussion since they cover so many topics in an hour. I think it's a nice complement to our leisurely meandering style.

Actually, the Bills have a large number of Canadian fans. In fact, they come to the games in such numbers there was a little talk of moving them a few miles, which would put them in Canada.
i think they are planning to play several games here in Toronto over the next couple of years or something like that.
And also, you can talk about Star Wars or Star Trek all you want without sounding like a total geek as long as you speak english. I say "english" because a co-worker of mine told me horrible stories about people in costumes arguing very loud in a the middle of comic book/sci-fi conventions about "who is the better captain, Picard or Kirk?" in klingon.... yes.... KLINGON.... think about it.

Anyway, I only listen to 3 podcast and in order from what I think is best to least goes as follows
1. NWR
2. GoNintendo
3. IGN
IGN is so unenthusiastic in their podcasts that I only listen to them because they've played games that haven't been released yet, and for little slips of exclusive news (like the Kid Icirus Game)
GoNintndo is more of just a bunch of funny guess messing around while reading news, reader-mail, and guessing what music is from which old game. It's like your podcast if it wasn't organized.
Plus: Greg FTW!!!!!!

Oh god, I'm sorry Greg. Buffalo is .... not so nice. You are definitely correct though, the city needs every tourist dollar it can get.

I love IGN's podcast with Mark and Matt, I look forward to it ALMOST as much as I look forward to your guy's.
IGN is great for news (they're basically Nintendo's Press Secretary) and RFN is great for analysis, debates, and laughs. The only other Nintendo centric show I like is Infendo. Scott and Blake have a great enthusiasm for Nintendo, while still being objective in their praise and criticism.

Buffalo's two biggest tourist attractions, IMHO:
1) Border crossing to Canada
2) Airport
LOL, sad but true.

not close, actually a Dallas Cowboys fan to be honest. I just hate the Packers, I would gladly offer up my legitimate reasoning behind the why, but not here.
Alright, even Cowboy fans hate the Packers!
I can't wait for this season to start, my respect for Farve these past few years has made it tough to wish calamity and destruction upon grown men with cheese on their heads. This year will be different.
