Marked! Don't have Skype so you'll never likely hear from me unless I just e-mail a soundbyte lol.

Can't wait to hear from you SuperSonic1990, I dunno whether I just don't pay any attention but the only regular I recognised in this podcast was Wiiloveit.

Nice work James, I loved the focus on download this week.

It was good to hear some reader's voices especially Chicken Brutus. I hope you will be a regular. Was WiiLoveIt putting on a bit of a performance though? I am not sure lol

The best part of the podcast for me had to be James doing an Australian accent. I do hope that Chris sees the funny side there! :-p

Next time on the podcast we'll have to make sure that Corbie gets a slot!!

SuperSonic1990

14. SuperSonic1990 United States 28 Jun 2009, 23:56 BST

Ahem..Dazza I can't get reach any of Nintendo Life's numbers,help please?

Corbie

15. Corbie United States 28 Jun 2009, 23:56 BST

Next time on the podcast we'll have to make sure that Corbie gets a slot!!

Please don't do that to our readers. :P

SuperSonic1990

16. SuperSonic1990 United States 28 Jun 2009, 23:57 BST

Corbie there you are I tried to call the Nintendo Life USA number and I couldn't reach your number or the UK number. Help,please?

Dazza

17. Dazza United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 00:02 BST

@Corbie - Too late, I am already bouncing some ideas around with James for what your special section could be.

So far my best idea is "Corbie's classic shmups" which would be introduced with a special jingle with R-Type sound effects. Each month you would pick a classic shooter to talk about for 2 minutes or so in your fine Texan accent.

Does anyone have any better suggestions for Corbie's podcast slot? :-p

Sean Aaron

18. Sean Aaron United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 00:04 BST

James, when's your show on Radio 2, exactly? Great announcer quality there mate!

Oh, and Altered Beast should NOT BE AVOIDED! My god man, after the slagging I took for playing that crap excuse for a 3D shooter, Space Harrier, I cannot understand why there's not video of your effigy being burned for the 3/10!

Kim Jong-Il

19. Kim Jong-Il Australia 29 Jun 2009, 00:06 BST

Daddy Newts... LOL!
And I loved the voice you did for Drake's review.
Oh, and I would just like to clear up that I do not think this is a bad podcast, and you have a great radio voice. But I LOL'd when I heard those^^ bits.

Corbie

20. Corbie United States 29 Jun 2009, 00:07 BST

Redneck Roundup :P

21. Sean Aaron United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 00:16 BST

Only if we get video of you actually lasooing some rednecks!

Nice podcast. Great to hear Chicken Brutus. Corbie needs to talk about the number 7. Or 7 games. Or 7 somethings.

Chicken Brutus

23. Chicken Brutus United States 29 Jun 2009, 01:34 BST

I think Corbie should perform excerpts from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Australian Accent?

Por Supersonic etting ignored above...I plan to Skype and get a lil of me in episode 6. ;)

26. timp29 Australia 29 Jun 2009, 05:51 BST

I'm tempted to skype you bitches a real aussie accent :p

SuperSonic1990

27. SuperSonic1990 United States 29 Jun 2009, 06:44 BST

Dang,is Skype the ONLY way to do this!?

Wait,You Guys Say Dsi Ware Will Come To Asphalt And Ends At Sudoku, BUT NO FLIPNOTE STUDIO?

30. Prosody United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 08:37 BST

SuperSonic1990 - Skype isn't the only way to do it. Just ring 442081448216 and you should be able to get through. I haven't tried it from the US but that number should work fine.

By the way, what about the voice I did for Drake's review? That was my voice! Sorry about my accent for Chris's comments though - it sounded a lot better in my head, whereas on-air it sounds like a strangled Murray from Flight of the Conchords...

I'd welcome Corbie's input into the next episode - a classic shmups section would be good, possibly even a "live report" as he plays a super-difficult shooter LIVE on-air!

Keep those Skype calls and voicemails coming in - if I get enough I'll try to do a special community podcast before the 27th of July!

Corbie

31. Corbie United States 29 Jun 2009, 09:15 BST

Anyone that can work in the word "Usurped" gets my vote. :D
Another brilliant job on the podcast James. :)

Wiiloveit

32. Wiiloveit United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 09:19 BST

If I said I was drunk, could I pretend that never happened?

Corbie

33. Corbie United States 29 Jun 2009, 09:22 BST

I don't think you could pretend that didn't happen if your life depended on it. :D

Prosody

34. Prosody United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 09:31 BST

@Wiiloveit - I'll erase your contribution if everyone agrees to forget my "Australian" accent!

TOIGER WOODS! So ashamed...

How's about doing a regular feature for Corbie: Seven of the Best

Each week Corbie goes through seven games from one of the major platforms (DS, WiiWare, etc) and can fine-grain further (shmups, platformers). Maybe even do a Seven of the Best to Come or 'Seven of the Rest: The Best Games That Won't Arrive on VC'

Maybe even 'Seven of the Worst Comments' at least then I'll get a mention - five times :D

chunky_droid

36. chunky_droid Australia 30 Jun 2009, 12:24 BST

I'll give you guys a real Aussie accent! :D

I really need to change this flag, lol.

Corbie's feature needs to be "Corb's Room: It's Better Than Yours and Here's Why"

SuperSonic1990

37. SuperSonic1990 United States 30 Jun 2009, 16:01 BST

Thanks for the number,I will call that number soon...
If you guys want a Texas accent,I have the best one! :D
