Short, on topic, and informative? Not your average RFN!
Episode 102: Massage the Text
The battle-hardened RFN team assembles once more to tackle the most pressing matters in Nintendo gaming today, beginning as usual with our (less than entirely) New Business. Jon teases us with the prospect of another long-overdue review while exploring the joys of reading on the go; Greg braves the perils of online Wii games with Pro Evo Soccer and Dr. Mario; Jonny gives us a sneak peek at the next Trauma Center for DS, while James continues to let Square Enix plunder his Wii Points.
Catching up with our backlog of emails in the second segment, we provide answers to the burning issues you care about, including: small developers we want to see working on Wii, Nintendo propaganda movies of the past, and the chances of a comeback for everyone's favorite gyroscope-holder, ROB. Also, the crew seeks closure by swapping war stories about reviewing awful games (no prizes for guessing James' picks), before ending with a look at the week's WiiWare and VC updates.

Sad so that means it isn't one of your best. :(

It goes round and round: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jypqNSZMgnM
My God, this is truly horrendous. What is it with any promotional material from 1989-1991 looking like a C+C Music Factory or MC Hammer video? It's brutal. Full-screen text graphics were all the rage for two or three years. They couldn't just overlay text on game video, it had to be "FULL SCREEN CD GRAPHICS" and "SCALING AND ROTATION" hitting you in the face every 10 seconds. The only thing that would make this video more 1990 is if it featured Dwayne Wayne (note: not the same as Dwyane Wade).
EDIT: Note that I wrote that before I saw the horrible "Make Your Own Video" with Kriss Kross and C+C Music Factory. Man, I wish I would have went to sleep in 1988 and awakened in 1992. Those were four lost years as far as pop culture was concerned.
EDIT 2: Black Hole Assault looks like possibly the worst game ever.

First "trapped" developer I thought of was also Vicarious Visions, although I would put Raven Software on the list as well.

I forgot, what games did they make again?
Off the top of my head they made Daxter and God of War for PSP. In addition to that they ported Okami to Wii.

Recording 103 was a riot. I think it's the most fun I've had recording a podcast so far. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.
You mean you actually made, at the very least, sounds? Amazing! ;)

Lindy not only made noises, but probably made one of the defining jokes of our times. You guys'll know what I'm talking about when you hear it.
Fixed.

Also, I noticed upon listening to the show that I called it Ep. 103. Whoops! After hearing teases about the real 103, I really can't wait to hear what happened with Karl and Stan joining the crew.

Oh, I made noises alright. I'm sure my jokes will be something I'll regret one day.

Where was this joke-of-the-ages? Golden Shower Golf? I thought Stan deserved more credit for that one.
