Fortune smiled upon me for my first episode as host of Retronauts; I was assigned a topic near and dear to me -- The Super Nintendo -- so I found myself extra motivated to put together an entertaining 90 minutes of discussion. For
this one, I had no choice but to rely entirely on the knowledge of my four guests, who are far more schooled in
Deus Ex than me -- even though I've had enough of an epiphany to finally play through the entire game, at this moment I still only have 2.5 levels under my belt (the tutorial counts as a level, right?). But Ryan, Mike, Thierry, and Sharkey managed to turn what could have been a disaster into a rousing and possibly rollicking episode of Retronauts. Cheers, boys.
Oh, and if you're interested in modding the living daylights out of Deus Ex, here are some useful links:

In other news, next week's episode will be a return to the call-in format, with the Super Nintendo as our topic. So give us a call at 415-896-3779 (415-89-MESSY) on Monday, August 15 at 3:30 P.M. for a chance to spill some of your SNES love (or possibly, acidic SNES hate) all over the Retronauts. We'll be wearing the proper safety gear and goggles.
Oh, and I wasn't kidding about the whole snail mail thing! If you're a Retronauts listener and want to send us anything, ship it over to:

So please, send us your letters and/or goodies, and if your skills are up to snuff, include some envelope art. Poorly drawn Chun-Lis and Gokus are expected, but anything better is welcome! See you next mission.
