@jennatar: Jenn Frank you are the coolest. This has been my favorite episode of the show yet. I hope you lighten your podcast restrictions a little because you're great at it, as any longtime Retronauts fan can attest. Thanks for doing it!

This episode was great, I'm always interested to hear what Jenn Frank has to say about anything.

It's a real bummer the conversation around here can get weird, especially when it has nothing to do with what we're talking about. But Rorie does a great job in these situations, and I'm a huge fan of the content Patrick and Alex bring to the site. Plus nothing get's better without people actively working to make it so while people scream at them. This episode's a great example of why Giant Bomb's the best site in town.

Happy to finally see Jenn Frank show up on Giant Bomb! Or you know, not-see Jenn Frank. Whatever.

Hope she comes back again! She's great.

And really, these guests have pretty much all been great! The whole show has. Giant Bomb's been doing a kick-ass job holding it down on the East Coast these past months.

Everything is great. Who'd have thought?

Jenn is easily on my list of "hopeful recurring guests on the show", and I hope she returns.

This episode was not my favorite. I'm not familiar with Jenn Frank, so I don't have the level of fondness that other users have on this site. I found her to be very fake, like she was trying to be cool or something. Every single thing she would say was drawn out for humor that didn't pay off. I'll be skipping the next one she's on.

Oh man I can't even imagine what a Nicolas Cage movie would be like if he wrote and directed it!

Some of the comments here have been disappointing, but let me say this in no uncertain terms: I will still continue to have what I consider to be interesting, smart, thoughtful, and intellectually challenging guests on this show. Jenn is one of them.

I applaud this, but people will always react negatively to those people with opinions that are different from their own which is completely ok. Name calling and/or being rude is a different issue.

I like hearing people with differing and varied opinions, I just hope that this segment is all-inclusive and doesn't include people with the same thoughts, arguments, development styles, etc. every time. We got a whole bunch of people who do story driven indie games recently, I'd like to hear from people more towards the other side, like someone from the development team of Shadow Warrior or Eldritch.

I followed @jennatar specifically to ask pizza related questions and so far, I am disappointed. No responses! Maybe soon.

This was awesome. I might actually try Remember Me after this, and I think it was Kevin VanOrd who had good things to say about it also. Video games, pizza and Nicolas Cage, the best weekends?

Great podcast, you guys should have Jenn on again.

I've always thought the survivalist mentality, or maybe the bunker mentality? was something more universal to all humans than an american thing. But then I didn't grow up in a part of america that its really prevalent, so don't have first hand experience.

Remember Me was almost my game of the year too, close to it. And I enjoyed the combat, but more importantly I enjoyed the setting a whole lot.

On the other hand, the issue of Nilin's race or whatever didn't even cross my mind, maybe that's just me.

Wow, listened to this today, but that Phillip Seymour Hoffman comment rings super weird with the news today.

FUCK YEAH JENN FRANK

One of my all-time favourite oldschool Retronauts episodes (one of the Halloween ones) is a Jenn episode. I could never tire of hearing her enthuse about Haunted House for the 2600 (especially because she's got such a fucking cool voice).

I agree with that sentiment exactly. I always enjoy listening to Jenn talk; I love her voice and mannerisms.
