I've probably mentioned several million times that it's stillincredibly surreal for me to now exist in the land of gamesjournalism; I spent so many years on the sidelines (and freelancing) learning about the likes and dislikes of different people that it's sometimes odd to meet them face-to-face. For example, yesterday I not only got to meet Chris Kohler and Jeff Green -- I also sat alongside them as one of their peers! And please note that I could have embarrassedmyself in front of Jeff due to my admiration of his former 1UPpodcast, but I stuck to the relatively subdued "I loved GFW Radio, but you probably could have guessed that." I hope he appreciated my self-control.
Sadly, we weren't able to record this one, so you may not get a chance to hear it outside of the underground bootleg podcast scene which I'm guessing doesn't exist. But to those of who could attend: thanks! I've only been a real 1UP staffer for just a handful of months, so I appreciated all of the kind comments about my work and the Retronauts podcast. Your motivation keeps us going; just ask any writer out there. Thanks for coming out if you could make it, and double-thanksfor going easy on EarthBound during all of the game slandering. You guys are seriously the best.
