For everyone who missed our live panel at PAX East 2010, or those who want to relive that magical event, we present the soundboard audio recording of the first-ever RFN Live. Special thanks to Karl for recording and editing, the Enforcers for much help with setup and audio, and our wonderful audience for showing up and asking many great questions during the half-hour Q&A.
We're also working on more video posts and the epic "drunkcast" from Saturday night, so keep checking the feed and NWR for more updates! Credits:
This podcast was edited by Karl Castaneda.

Anyway, screw this noise. I want the Drunkcast.
Just kidding (of course). I'm seriously excited about listening to this.

I know I had things I wanted to say, but the very ironclad hour time limit dissuaded me from doing so.
The discussion content is very good, and its interesting to get a take from people not on the show every week. I already could guess what Jonny would say, but Karl and Obi were mysteries.

Dude, really, This Podcast is great. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I'm not even done yet. Again, you guys stand out from the rest of the podcast I listen to. Great job! You represent Nintendo fans well.

Incidentally, I also just listened to the PAX East panel from a large website that I will not name; and, though I've been a long-time listener of that particular podcast, it made me realize that I just don't enjoy it (or the hosts) anymore... If I had to summarize why, I think the reason is this; it's because they spend as much time (if not more time) talking about themselves than gaming.
I thought your panel was much better, particularly because of the quality and thoughtfulness of the discussions and the genuine, honest love for gaming that you guys show. It's why RFN is always at the top of my podcast queue every week.

EDIT: And for the record, any pettyness and arguing was more than made up for in the Drunkcast, coming soon to a podcast feed near you!

Sundoulos, I would have loved to have thrown down in a big debate with the guys, but the time really didn't allow for it. Any jokes/petty argument would've just taken time away from the real reason we were there - to have an informative (and hopefully entertaining) discussion about what makes Nintendo games Nintendo games.

I thought as much. Like I said, I thought it was great panel. I hope the PAX East panel helps to expose RFN (and NWR, as a whole) to the gaming community.
As for the Drunkcast, should I be looking forward to it or should I be very, very afraid of it?

EDIT: The Drunkcast is now encoding!

The sound on this podcast is great!
Seconded. Having already heard another podcast recorded at PAX East this year and also live panels from the regular PAX in previous years, I really didn't expect that the sound quality would be anywhere near as good as it is here. Everyone was clearly audible, including the audience members asking questions, which was very valuable for the flow of the excellent Q&A segment. As for the content of the panel, it was of course great to hear Karl and Mike again, the feature topic was both succinct and substantive (we have trouble with the first part normally, at least when I'm involved) and overall I'd say this more than lived up to all the hopes I had for it. Outstanding job guys--I only wish I could've been there with you.
Now let's see if the imminent Drunkcast can destroy all this goodwill....

Also the best part of Wii Play was Tanks.

And you know what? I really did feel like it was a podcast for grown-ups. It didn't need to be jokey or funny (so don't sweat that, James) and it would have been death to be self-referential. Nope, you guys brought thoughtful, knowledgeable, dare I say scholarly discussion to a topic that generally lacks that style of input. You definitely lived up to your panel's title and I found it thoroughly engrossing and, yes, entertaining. Well done and thank you.
And, a special shout-out to Karl. I am going to have to go back and listen to older podcasts now. Karl is great, very natural and showed some great discussion leadership. You can tell he used to host (at least, I think that's what he said). Don't get me wrong, I love the current podcast lineup of Johnny, Jon, Greg and James but when there's a gap, Bring Back Karl!!

It's funny, from hearing me only on the podcast I bet people think I'm quiet and not too talkative, when it's actually completely the opposite. I just get tired of having to talk over somebody every time I want to say something, and kinda tune out after a while unless I'm specifically addressed.
Post by: NWR_Karl on April 18, 2010, 02:18:29 PM
I also maintain that Lindy wasn't as into the panel because there were no beds to fall out of.

But no worries. I'll make up for this the next time I'm on RFN. I'll just have Greg swap out everything I say with Lindy saying, "Maaaan, **** Super Mario Galaxy!"
