It's the final countdown!

Not being involved in this podcast in any way, I inherited this project from Steven Rodriguez who gave explicit instructions to only add the intro and exit music.

You can also listen to the podcast on , or subscribe to us on iTunes.


So, I got this fresh new podcast that I knew nothing about and listened to it. After having my brain melt from giddiness, I can easily say this is one of the coolest podcasts ever in the history of podcasts. There are several on-site interviews at the Universal City Walk in California, so don't expect the greatest sound quality in the world.

But, hey, like the Wii, what we lose in potential production values, we make up for in pure, unadulterated awesome. Included in this podcast are strange and wonderful events such as:

  • We talk with people who have played the Wii at the event, including a hearing-impaired woman through her sign language translator

  • An interview with Nintendo's Vice President of Marketing, George Harrison about the the CityWalk launch event and the rest of Nintendo's launch plans

  • A walk down the line that took over 20 minutes to finish, including talks with those at the front, in the back, and the madness in between (including a chat with one of the Wii Segway ladies)

  • The decisive moment when the first one in line gets his Wii...then sings?

I speak with complete authority when I say: if this isn't the most significant podcast you'll ever hear, then you have no soul.

I wish I could have waited for my Wii in California, I'm sure the temperatures were a lot warmer that night. face-icon-small-frown.gif

One of my friends back at home was recently complaining about it being 94 degrees in November. XD Ah, I wish I was back home in California instead of here in stupid cold Washington. D:

Little heads-up, if you didn't know already: the iTunes link is pointing to the last episode – the unveiling episode.

Halp, I wanna listen to RFN!

Cool podcast. However, a video podcast would have been infinitely cooler.

Ah. Well then, I guess Shang Tsung has done his work!

This was my favorite part of the podcast:

WindyMan: Well, he's going to sell one to Mario, I guess that's kind of appropriate ...
Game Jew: Game Jew.
WindyMan: Whatever, chump!

I got a lovely form letter asking me to contribute something to this episode. Unfortunately, I didn't have the proper equipment to do so.
