Oh noes, Team Ninja turned Samus into a human being rather than a one-sided killing machine!

Oh noes, Samus actually felt remorse because of the baby metroid’s death! It bonded to her as its mother, so why is this such a huge deal? It makes sense; there ARE biological responses in the mother as well during a bonding process such as this. It is very likely that Samus gained a connection with the metroid.

Oh noes, Ridley scares Samus. Let’s not mention that Ridley basically ruined Samus’ life at the ripe old age of three by killing her parents and everybody she ever knew. If that happened to me, I sure wouldn’t be afraid of the person/people who did it. Nope, no trauma here. Nosir.

tldr: quit bitching

Well, that’s disheartening. Jon’s looking into it. The bad news is that the new DnD might have the same problem. The good news is it should all be resolved by the time we come back.

Yeah, the site pulled the whole thing. I just tried iTunes again and still the same 3.8 MB. I’m going to update my iTunes and try again, I’ll let you know what happens.

@Tolan

Are your downloads directly from the site working? We’ve been getting reports about this problem, but everything looks fine on our end.

@Tolan

This is the first I’m hearing about this problem. I’ll look into it.

Ya, me to. I only got the one song

New DnD coming REAL soon (today or tomorrow) and we’re gonna be podcasting with OCAD all month so… basically it’ll be non-stop.

@OmniG

Yo Noid! Oh shit, I didn’t know about that. Here’s some gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgxXP3bRd7U

And likewise I didn’t pick up on that For the Frog the Bell Tolls/ Link’s Awakening crossover – AMAZING

@Mitch

You, sir, are onto something.

Let me say that I liked that episode, even if I’m not a Metroid fan and the closest thing I ever played was Samus Aran in N64′s Super Smash Bros. Still, you really made me feel bad for her, a “silent and stoic” heroine turned baby-craving lunatic. Classic Nintendo logic indeed. I might just try and acquire me some Metroid to fill in the Nerdy Show season hiatus.

On a sidenote, while I’m generally not into this kind of music, Freezepop’s “Magnetic” rather caught my attention. Overall I’d say this episode’s music were above average, personally. Great to see that you haven’t slacked for even a moment on the quality.

Oh. And one last thing; hurry up with Season 4. Or my DnD. Or anything.
Otherwise I’MMA GET YOU.

I like like like what I see and I’m thrilled that the project hasn’t been halted yet. Niiiice.

NEW DUE DATE: Sunday, September 5th, 11:59PM est

Don’t slack ’cause we love you though.

It was a typo… it is no more!

“What +1 Greatclub? The story of Chair and ED.”

i’m truly honored to hear that we were able to find your own music, as it were. we shall double our efforts with upcoming projects

Anyways, ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWA!!!

I agree, the prequels do suck, but I don’t blame it on the most obvious reasons. For one, Jar-Jar Binks is not as horrific of a character as people paint him out to be. Is he annoying? Sure. But so was 3P0. The difference… 3PO had charm. I feel Jar-Jar could have had a little more charm, if only they would have excised some of the clumsy antics he had. Although I don’t think they were so bad. The real problem with the prequels is that they never ever had a rogue character. As a result, the audience couldn’t connect with anyone. Both Luke and Han were outside rogues in A New Hope, unconnected to the mythology, just like the audience. As the films continued, there were those that bought some of the mythos and followed Luke, and if they didn’t buy it, they always had Han to latch on to. (I was always the latter.) The prequels expected you to not only just absorb the mythology, but to let that be enough of a connection. It certainly wasn’t. Outside of the fact that there was little to no humor, save for the occasional “quip” by Obi Wan Kenobi (McGregor), the prequels lacked any real characters. The writing wasn’t horrible, per se. How different was Obi Wan’s dialogue compared to Qui Gon’s? Again, it was just overload of that one dynamic. That’s my main concern with the prequels, in addition to the glaring obvious omission that Lucas decided to make an animated movie with carbon copy characters. If you look back on the prequels, every actor, regardless of their talent, all act the same. It’s almost like one tone the whole film; that is, until you get to Episode III and “some form of emotion” bleeds through. In sum, the prequels were a failure for two reasons: its lack of human connection (via a Han Solo type chracter) and its overuse of CGI. To focus on something as minor as Jar-Jar, which arguably tried to do something different, is a little unfair. So I agree with Lucas there on that one. But, I’d still tell him to go fuck himself.

This was a great listen. I can’t believe you got me back into this franchise. I even went out and bought the remaining two Star Wars films on DVD, Empire and Return. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become what you’d call a “purist” and love the original as a stand alone film (I know, call me nuts), but I forgot how much this trilogy meant to me. I’ll always argue that Empire is a beautiful film, but subpar to the original, and I enjoy being in that camp, but you can’t argue that it doesn’t have qualities that make you return again and again with a big, fat smile. Ah, I can’t wait to return to these again. To the weekend!

I await patiently.

Wait ’til you hear the episode.

Then you know what you must do…
