Great to see you guys are back! One thing though get it added to itunes! The most recent episode on there is from ages ago! Also may I suggest submitting it to N4G.com you will get a definite bump in listeners for the 1st week and who knows they may stick around.

Excellent, I'm just downloading this at the minute! I like how ReZ is in there, will you be having guests each week? Would be cool to get the forum community more involved!

Franklin watch out - Stevo is a blinder. Nathan, you sounded like Matt Casamassina on a few occassions. ReZ, you make me cry reminding me how many DS games I need to buy. Great listen once again.

@ Flameboy Cheers Adam! Franklin was actually the man in charge of iTunes, and he's gone and buggered off to the Philippines to get married! Pah! Text has been sent, so hopefully he'll get back to me. @ Pookiablo If it proves popular, we'll definitely look into it! ReZ was actually the only one at hand to help out, but I think it worked very well. @ D_prOdigy Screw you.

Nice work guys :) also dammit, after listening to the podcast I've gone back to playing Zelda : Phantom Hourglass again >> not that this is a bad thing, it just reminded me of what a great game it is.

Good plan actually, I'll be looking into that today. :) It's on N4G now, thanks for the tip, never realised you could put podcasts up there.

Enjoying it thus far - if you ever do anything about N64 in the near future, let me know, I'm sure I'd be very good at boring you all to death about it!

Yeah N4G has actually made many a podcast, bitbag radio for example (rubbish podcast) gets nearly all its hits off there.

Oh one thing I forgot to comment on before you guys play Zelda games with walkthroughs? I can understand some the harder puzzles, but on Phantom Hourglass, one of the easiest games out there...shame on nathan and rez...

I did say it was just the Temple of the Ocean King. :( And to be fair I got through the Minish Cap, the Oracle games, most of Wind Waker/Ocarina and the rest of Phantom Hourglass without using a walkthrough. There's just some bits where it's necessary - for me. :p

Thanks for the feedback! Can't believe what I was hearing about Mike and Nathans Zelda tendencies. Talk about softcore! :p

Shush you. By the way, if anyone entered the competition before 5PM, you'll need to resend your entry. The email account was malfunctioning... podcast@n-europe.com should do the trick.

Nice show guys, I think you have the team nailed and when Mokong eventually comes back you can have a great 4 men show. All you need now is to solve some technical hurdles.

Thanks for the comments folks. @ Tellyn, the only one at hand? Why I oughta! @ Flamey, I havn't got Phantom Hourglass yet, but I have decided to buy it. Like I said I'm thick for Zelda games needing a walkthru! :( Im sorry. @ Ramar, back atcha sweet lips. :) I think (assuming I'll be a regular...thats down to the lads. ;) ) that our chemistry really started to come together towards the end (of the few weeks it was recorded over) and nerves settled down too. So future shows will be better I think. Yes I got nervous just having a conversation. AND WHAT! Also my into is cringe worthy. "Hi there" I sicken myself. Go buy Henry Hatsworth.

Since we recorded it I bought both Henry Hatsworth and Big Bang Mini. You sold me on them both, Mike! However I've not bothered with GTA... but I have had a go on it. Seemed ok, didn't really ignite any desire in me to buy myself a copy though.

Outragous. How you finding Henry? I'm finding it insanely difficult now! I'm on the fourth world, and actually got stuck on a level last night. Gonna demolish it tonight though.

Stevo Says:

Finding it pretty tough as well! I'm only in the watery third world (mainly been playing it during my lunch breaks) but the difficulty ramped up in the second world after a fairly pedestrian opening world. Its so addictive though, sometimes I find myself spending ages in the puzzle then other times I'm so engrossed in the platforming that I forget about the puzzle world, until the blocks start creeping up into the top screen! The second world boss battle was memorable! :D

Exactly the same with me. I'm literally stunned at how well they have blended the two completely different genres.
