Cool dude, tuning in!

OMG, you guys are talking about the exact same thing I said in another thread and got crucified for: How the Wii U is much more enjoyable if you have people to play local multiplayer with and how the games aren't really designed to be played solo or online, oh the irony!

But it's still fun for solo players, is the point!

@Guillaume
Not as fun though, that was my point, as a solo gamer I'd always feel like I wasn't getting the true/best experience the way the hardware/game designers intended!

But anyway, great segment! Really fun marathon so far!

So mad I missed it! Are you editing that while thing yourself??
11/24/13, 22:29   
Nah, Karl Castaneda is taking care of it. I think he's aiming to have the first part ready today. It's gonna be divided like so: 3-3-2-2 hours.

Which parts are worth listening to?
11/25/13, 00:40   
I wasn't able to listen to the whole day. I guess it depends on what topics interest you.

Radio Trivia is always a blast. Nintendoaire live can be tons of fun.

@Jargon
Space toilet was the best segment!

Bumping a 2 year old thread, but the 2015 telethon is going on right now. And if you donate to Child's Play within the next 40 minutes (until 2:00pm EST) then Nintendo will match all donations!

I'm going to work but I will definitely listen to the whole thing when it gets released on iTunes!
12/05/15, 20:25   
Wish I could listen now. Stuck at work. I never get to hear this thing live.
