Things I Wish Mike & Jeromy Would Bring Back

After listening to some of the old podcasts there were a few things that I wish I saw more often on the newer podcasts.  I know there are probably some good reasons for their deletion, however, if it's possible I'd love to see the following re-implemented.

1) Sound Effects:  I loved the corny little beats before each section of the show.  It seems like it would be pretty easy to throw them back in the podcast.

2) The Other (unsung) Intro:  This is obviously a personal preference, but I enjoyed the intro that wasn't sung out loud, like it has been for the last few episodes.  I guess the singing was funny at first but it's a bit annoying now.

3) Prizes & Give-a-Ways:  Pogs, Prize-packs, Nintendo Cards, Contests…must I say more?

4) Geo-Cities Site of the Week:  I know, I know, Geo-cities doesn't exist anymore, however, it would be cool if Mike &  Jeromy did a similar review process discussing YouTube retrogame reviewers.  There's plenty out there.

5) Guests:  There hasn't been a guest on the retrocast in a long time!  I understand it's difficult to set that up, but it would be entertaining to have one on the show ever so often.  Maybe every other month or two?  I think you could even use someone from the forums, like Hugues Johnson for instance…

Disclaimer:

By no means am I trying to say that the retrocast is a crappy show or that it has gone down hill.  I think Jeromy & Mike are doing an excellent job.  I'm simply trying to make a few suggestions.

I love to hear the feedback. Let me replay to each thing seperate.

1. For some strage reason the recording software crashes everytime I try to play a sound effect. As soon as that gets fixed the sounds will be back.

2. The intro will change again. We like to mix them up every now and again.

3. This may happen again but they just moved my local post office to the crappy part of the next city over from me. It sucks balls because if i want to mail anything I have to go through the ghetto.

4. no promises here.

5. I have actually been contacted by Brian Sulpher about this and he may make an appearance in the near future. I may contact some other folks to join us for an ep as well.

If you are posting this it means you are a fan so I love hearing what you think.

I'm flattered that anyone would think I'd be a good guest ** you don't have permission to see this link ** Brian Sulpher would be more interesting though, how many FAQs has he written anyway? Although I would enjoy it and have plenty of odd Nintendo-related stories and whatnot to talk about.

Y'know… I liked Site-of-the-week, prizes and all the sounds/intros. But I also can only imagine how much work just putting together the show they're doing now must be (on top of managing these forums too). I wouldn't want Mike & Jeromy to over-burden themselves to the point that doing the show would be a chore instead of enjoyable.

Oddly enough the two things I'd like to see again are the sound effects and the games of the week videos. If those problems get resolved then cool, but if not it's not their fault.
