Here’s a Podcast – Episode 118! (Yakuman)
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 9 Comments
We weren’t going to have a show this week, but then Austin played Splatoon and he really wanted to talk about it so we decided to have a show. Additionally, Brian did a site survey and asked many of you about the podcast, so we decided to do a little navel gazing and read some of what you guys had to say, both good and bad. And weird. The nice image you see above was found on Neogaf!

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 117! (Tetris)
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 2 Comments
Sorry we’re a day late with this one. Everyone is still in Minneapolis for this week’s show, and we decide to do something we haven’t done in a while: Podcasting without a net. So there’s not much of a script, we go off on tangents, and we just try to enjoy life and be good boys and girls. Funnily, we ended up talking about some game industry stuff and other gaming-related topics that we don’t generally tackle, so that’s a point for being unscripted I guess. Enjoy the non-conformity!
Shenanigans
1) Opening Nonsense
2) Game of the Week – Tetris!
3) Laura went to China and Austin has a headache.
What we played
4) Laura got a New 3DS!

5) Can Nintendo really continue with backwards compatibility?
6) Bye Bye Konami
What we played again
7) Professor Laura vs. Phoenix Wright
8) Why didn’t anyone tell me about Mass Effect’s writing though? (Austin beat Mass Effect)
9) Wario Ware touched Jack on Wii U.

Shenanigans Finale
14) The end.

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 116! (Super Mario Land)
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 0 comments
Once upon a time I mentioned how Comcast played a role in canceling one of our podcasts because they made Laura’s internet go away. This week, another American corporation has disrupted our regular flow of feces-like podcasting content to you, but thankfully Xcel Energy’s mishandling of my electrical power only succeeding in delaying the podcast rather than outright canceling it. It’s an exciting show though, because Laura is back in Minneapolis so we’ve recorded our first in-person show since episode 103! Here are today’s chapters:
Shenanigans
1) Opening
2) Picture of the Day
3) Game of the Week: Super Mario Land!
What we played
4) Laura’s a’rumblin’. (Pokémon Rumble World)
5) Story of Sadness. (Story of Seasons)
6) Story of Seasons Spoilers Skip-Mark
7) Shepard is not a smart man. (Mass Effect)
8) ProPay develops new Streetpass games for Laura.
9) Donkey Kong Country 2 vs. Super Mario World, a retrospective featurette.
Shenanigans Redux
10) Freetures (the only free part of the podcast)
11) Donkey Kong Country 3 musical interlude
Listener Mail
12) Mario & Luigi is good?
13) New 3DS transfer process and other woes.
14) Are cinematic games taking over? Will they always suck so bad?
15) Comedian corner.
Shenanigans Finale
16) Super Mario Land Quiz
17) Ending sequence and staff roll.

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 115! (Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics II)
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 1 Comment
What an episode have we got for you here today on this episode of the show on our website. If you like Donkey Kong Country 3 you should skip listener mail because Jack gets incredibly critical of it, going so far as to call it a game Rare must have developed during their bathroom breaks. Still, Austin has impressions of Affordable Space Adventures, so that should make up for it. Unless he’s right.
I suspect he is. Here are today’s chapters:
Shenanigans
1) Picture of the Day.
2) Game of the Week: Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics 2!
What we played
3) Austin needs no qualifications for space adventures. (Affordable Space Adventures)
4) Jack dedicated himself to tears. (MOTHER 3)
5) Austin walks through the valley of the shadow of death (Super Ghouls n Ghosts wrap-up)
Shenanigans Redux
6) Freetures (Because they’re free)
7) Mighty Switch Force music break
Listener Mail
8) Donkey Kong Country 3 is Rare’s “bathroom break” game, according to Jack.
9) Would we be down for more clay?
10) Project H.A.M.M.E.R., Halo DS, and more: Our favorite cancelled games.
11) Why is Art Academy for Wii U taking so long?
12) Diarrhea-like random questions.
Shenanigans Finale
13) Zoda’s Revenge QUIZ QUIZ
14) Ending fanfare

GAME OF THE MONTH – Mario Kart 8
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Game of the Month | 10 Comments
It was a tough choice for April’s Game of the Month, but with Nintendo announcing the push-forward of the Mario Kart 8 DLC, we’d be ridiculous not to make a spectacle of the game. So it is: April will feature Mario Kart 8-focused articles all month long from all of our writers, including– most likely– a look at the new DLC when it comes out in a couple of weeks here.
Look forward to it! And get pumped for 200cc.

Another week, another cancelled podcast
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Site updates | 5 Comments
Alas, we knew that being forced to do podcasts over Skype would make things more difficult, but nobody could have anticipated the antagonizing role that American corporation Comcast would play in all of it. Because of their unreliable network services in the Albaquerki, New Mexico area, we’ve been forced to cancel this week’s episode of “Here’s a Podcast”. It’s a shame really, because I was looking forward to discussing the finale of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and how it relates to Zelda Wii U, and various comments Eiji Aonuma has made about the Zelda series in the past.
Alas, not all good things were meant to come on a weekly schedule. Thanks for your understanding! Send us an email to [email protected] with questions, thoughts, comments, or answer our question of the week: How impactful do you feel the ending to A Link to the Past is compared to other Zelda games?
