Episode 936: Jon Lindemann – Into the Flames – Radio Free Nintendo

Alright, buckle up because we’re diving into the wild ride that is… well, wherever RFN decides to land today. Just a heads-up, there’s no way to predict if we’re cruising on autopilot or if we’re veering off into a fiery fiasco of chaos. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right?

Oh, but that’s not even the funny part — this week, Jon Lindemann decides to tackle the enigma that is tipping culture. #CancelJonLindemann, anyone?

Now, I have a confession: I don’t do coffee. Seriously, I just skip that jittery mess. Simple solution, right?

Anyway, I’ve got stories. Imagine this: you’re in a restroom, and there’s some guy suggesting evening fragrances. Weird, right? But at least you know your tip’s not vanishing into some black hole. Unlike those self-service machines asking for tips. I’m like, who’s getting that cash? The machine’s college fund?

Switching gears completely — Partner Direct on July 31st kicks off our show (yeah, I know, date specifics… riveting!). We dive headfirst into the flames with “Chillin’ by the Fire” and then hop over to chat about good ol’ Monster Hunter Stories 3, some Madden action, and Apex too.

Oh, and the second wave of randomness? We ramble through Yakuza Kiwami 2, a remixed Pac-Man World 2, the chaotic charm of Once Upon a Katamari, and Romancing Saga 2. Haven’t lost you yet, right?

To wrap up the Direct talk: SHINOBI’s revenge tour, Square Enix doing some HD-2D magic, and Hyrule Warriors, because why not?

And then there’s this bizarre detour into Game-Key cards. Frankly, no clue how we landed there, but it happened.

After our intermission, it’s time for Listener Mail. Brace yourself: Jon’s getting tongue-lashed over Donkey Kong Bananza tipping shenanigans. Is it madness? Probably. Our second curious query questions if there are developers out there loathing their own characters. Intriguing, huh?

I think that about covers it, or at least enough to leave you puzzled. Enjoy untangling this chaos!
