RFN won’t ever cease coining phrases that ought to by no means be coined.
This episode took some time to report as a result of we spent a a very long time planning the rest of our work for this yr.
Regardless of the rampant unprofessionalism, this present is figure.
- We spend about three hours recording the present, beginning at roughly 9:00 Jap and wrapping up early the following day.
- I am unable to communicate for a way lengthy it takes Guillaume to edit a present, however after I do it, each hour of the ultimate runtime takes about two hours to edit. I do suspect I am very sluggish.
- It takes me about an hour to put in writing the article – notably when I made a decision to place extra thought into the train.
- The picture takes between half-hour to an hour and a half. There are the odd moments the place I am going fully overboard and spend two and even three hours on it. Final week was an instance of a rare effort, however that was an outlier.
This provides as much as an funding of between 18 and 20 man hours per episode.
I point out this, as a result of that point funding turns into harder as individuals have plans tied to the vacation season. We journey to see household and associates, have occasions, and generally simply have to unwind.
It’s the one time of yr I, as host and alleged producer, have to really plan for the present – moderately than counting on virtually twenty years of momentum – to make it occur.
And now, I am going to share that plan with you!
We’re recording two episodes between Dec. 18 and Dec. 22. I believe they will be shorter, and sure recorded in a single (very lengthy) session. The primary (Episode 957) will likely be a “regular” episode – with Prime 4 having been out a pair weeks at that time we’ll seemingly be speaking finish recreation content material. The opposite (Episode 958) will likely be our subsequent RetroActive.
957 will drop the next Sunday, Dec. 21, identical to at all times.
958 will drop two weeks in a while Jan 5.
We wont drop an episode on the week of New Years. Traditionally, that is one in every of our lowest listened to weeks – individuals take heed to the week of Christmas travelling or ending up work earlier than the vacation. Folks take heed to the week after New Years, returning to work.
And admittedly, we simply wont be round to report, edit, and publish.
On a private word, I am going to even be lacking 959, to be recorded the week of Jan 6. I will be leaving you to the tender mercies of your host Jon Lindemann. Regardless of me writing it right here, he wont pay attention to this truth. Greg, please remind him once you report it.
However this week, we’re right here. We begin the present with Guillaume disliking one other fan-favorite recreation: Ball X Pit. Past Ball and Pitting, he is been taking part in Arcade Archives Cadash – a 2D Platformer with RPG components and a few attributes extra typical of a brawler. Lastly, he completed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which is a fan favourite that he DOES like. Jon is bummed with the Black Friday choices in 2025. He is appropriate, they have been considerably lesser in comparison with latest years, and pale when in comparison with the period of riots within the Finest Purchase. Greg received Sakurai’s newest “by no means ask me for something once more” “the whole lot is right here” undertaking Kirby Air Riders. He has some pretty early impressions of the sport’s abundance of modes. He additionally has a short replace on Age of Calamity, which James provides to now that he has cleared it. Lastly, James opinions the second Donkey Kong Bananza DLC problem. He has, sadly, unlocked Lanky Kong’s statue.
After a break, we reveal our subsequent RetroActive recreation. As talked about above, we wanted to report this quicky – which suggests it must be obtainable and never notably lengthy. The sport we picked to fulfill these standards: Hyperlink’s adventures in Soulcalibur II for the Gamecube. It is obtainable on the NSO service. Get to work.
James anticipated this divulge to take so much longer. Instantly, we have been confronted with the horror that may be a 5 minute second section. Into the breach marched a second spherical of Jon Lindemann trivia.
At one level Jon had a detrimental rating.
