Greetings, acolytes! Diamond Feit here with the latest episode of our community podcast just for you. Please enjoy myself and Stuart Gipp sharing our pre-release thoughts of the Resident Evil 4 remake, our post-release opinions of Gal Guardians: Demon Purge, and your comments & responses to recent Retronauts podcasts.

While editing this one, it occurred to me that I never explained my introduction which was inspired by this tweet but since we didn't bring up Metroid Prime this month, my random GameCube shout-out makes less sense.

Huge shoutout to illustrator Maddie Copp for her one-off tweet that led me to commission her for this episode's art, which in turn informed our community question at episode's end. Leave your answers below and feel free to make your own artistic mock-ups if you want extra credit.

Music heard in this episode:

10:32 "The Mercenaries~Wesker" (Resident Evil 4)

25:45 "It Keeps Happening (Stage 1 Reprise)" (Gal Guardians: Demon Purge)

30:28 "A New Story of You" (Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle+Hell)

41:14 "Main Theme" (Monster World IV)

57:36 Audio from Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix

1:06:47 "The Earth" (Lufia & the Fortress of Doom)

"An exciting medley of British TV themes." SOLD!

Stuart Gipp

Please forgive my comments on The Completionist, I was unwell and ill-informed x x x x

Thanks for reading my comment on air, Diamond. Full marks for effort trying to pronounce my unpronouncable Icelandic name.

My pitch for a Ben & Jerry's video game flavor is Radiant Silvergum, a bubble gum flavored ice cream with bits of actual red, blue, and yellow pieces of bubble gum to represent the three enemy and weapon color types in the game. The amount of time and mouth effort it will take to stop eating the ice cream and chew the cold pieces of gum is representative of the difficulty of Radiant Silvergun and the amount of time it takes to finally master it.

I have a couple of Ben & Jerry's flavors. First: "Aerith's Death by Chocolate." A Vanilla ice cream with chocolate swords, made with spoiled milk. Pitch 2: "Conker's Bad Fur Day Presents, The Great Mighty Poutine." It's just "Wavy Gravy" with corn kernels in it. An operatic medley of taste, in you mouth.

Sorry to hear that you guys aren't enjoying/aren't interested in the RE4 remake. I picked it up a few days ago and am enjoying it quite a lot. I have to admit that, while I understand what Stuart is saying about the disconnect between graphics and gameplay on an intellectual level, I just don't see how that is a problem, I guess? And, Diamond, yeah, I don't think I could play the remake on controller, either. Mouse and Keyboard feels much better. I think you will find it much easier to hit your shots. Also, just get through the first village section. It is a bit of a hump, but it gets easier afterwards.

I'm not clever enough to come up with an ice cream flavor. I think I'm warming to the format and enjoy listening to the fan comments. Thanks for reading my comment on the February episode. If you can think of a game that depicts being a foreigner in a strange land better than Morrowind, please do share. It sounded like there was some enthusiasm to find a game to fit that category.

“Big Apple Pie, 3AM!” Who turned the lights out? Satisfy your late-night cravings with chunks of apple pie and caramel turtle pieces, chaotically mixed with shreds of cinnamon and splintered pecans in a vanilla ice cream base. Just be sure to grab it In Time, before your friends do. (Ben & Jerry’s is not responsible for any poisoning resulting from eating food found on the street.)

DelEAT This Ice Cream Within 24 Hours

Phoequinox

Keeping with the Chrono Trigger theme for another monthly question: Cone o' Trigger. Strawberry ice cream with shattered time egg fragments (waffle cone pieces) and blue(berry) time portal swirls.

Christoph

Is it just me or is Diamond significantly louder than Stuart on these? Makes it tough to listen to.

WeazelTooth

No need to apologize, Stu. That shit grosses me out as well.

Wood Duck [Legacy Edition]

100% with you Stuart, the prevelance "sexed up 14yo" in so much anime is revolting and maddening. You really have to wonder if it continues because there's a percentage of teenage consumers who think "eh this is fine and normal, I'm a teenager too" then continue to think like that as they age up? It's sad that you even have to reasonably expect that The Mob will come after you for expressing an opinion that "teenage r**** is not appropriate or funny". Whoops, behold - Stuart rants inspire new rants!

My ice cream pitch: Final Fanta-sy A collaboration between B&J, Square Enix, and the modestly popular soda brand Fanta. It’s just an individually wrapped novelty orange creamsicle stick shaped like the buster sword

Johnathan Lansing

My ice cream flavor is "Pikmint" - a green mint ice cream with chocolate swirls and funfetti sprinkles. I also asked my wife and she immediately responded with "Banjo-Cashewy" - chocolate ice cream with swirls of cashew butter and chocolate birds and bears.

BlueWeaselBreath

My ice cream flavor is “Oh No! More Lemons”. You can only take a few bites, and then it becomes too hard to eat.
