Double the Editors

Means Double the Power

We're very unlucky to have four+ hour recordings, but that’s

nothing 50 hours  in the editing room

can’t fix (the resulting mental breakdowns are a different story)!  Stephen had a light New Business due to illness, but he and Donald team up to get wiped

out by the Brock Lesnar of Japanese monsters Gore Magala in the demo for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Donald makes

up for the game content by needing a revocation of his Citizens of Earth experience until a patch, so he called up a

lawyer for Phoenix Wright Trilogy on

3DS. After that, the grand New Year's resolution begins with very early

impressions of Tales of Symphonia HD. Austen has a double remake of his own

with Resident Evil HD (PS4 which

evolved from some system we don't talk about which evolved from PS1) before

finally getting Lightning Returns: Final

Fantasy XIII out of his system. It's a complicated game, so it gets a good

while.

Following that is the strangest Now Posted ever, and that's saying something. Listener discretion

is advised.

In Whatcha Watchin',

Stephen was able to recover from a nasty flu to attend the Nashville The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess concert and have

a disturbing meeting with one of NWR's finest, before plowing through a lot of Fairy Tail, Parks & Recreation and the latest example of comic

oversaturation, Marvel’s Agent Carter.

Austen got a little TNT on with The

Librarians and also tackled Log

Horizon, which is basically Sword Art Online without the squick. In the

interest of time, Donald had to keep it quick, but he did finish Cowboy Bebop and thanks to a Netflix

miracle, saw the movie that nearly spawned M*A*S*H II, The Interview.

It's a very rare triple Feature,

as discussion of the January 14 Nintendo Direct began a week of Nintendo

trolling that also included the mercy killing of Club Nintendo, before a

countdown of the group's Top 5 Games of 2015 that could have easily gone to 10

or even 20. The Mushrooms star the

flu and international finance, but Austen can't hear the complaints over the

dulcet tones of Liberi Fatali playing in his head.

We'd love to get some listener questions for the next show,

so drop them below or send an email to [email protected] or

tweet them @NFRPodcast. Also, be sure to check out Donald pontificating about
