The Nestlekwik Happy Hour for June 14, 2008!


Nestlekwik:  Welcome back for another feature-packed edition of The Nestlekwik Happy Hour!  The podcast you have to read makes its return.  Your views have spoken and The Nestlekwik Happy Hour is the number seven-rated show in Utah between the hours of 3-4 a.m.!  We’d like to thank everyone for their support and by we, I mean that right by my very side is my second player, the Florida Tekken Guru himself, MixMasterLar.

MixMasterLar:  Man!  I love fan mail!

Nes:  Wait … what?  You got fan mail already?  Your mailbag even has your name on it.  Since when were you the clear favorite on the show?  All I’ve received since last Saturday was a paper towel with “You Suck” scribbled on it in silver crayon from some random guy while I was pumping gas in my car …

Lar:  What can I say?  The fans love my charisma.  I’m like a Nintendo Power Game Counselor; everyone wants to write in to me.  Remember Howard Phillips?  He was awesome.  I’m like Howard Phillips 2008.

Nes:  Well, you’ll have to stop by Goodwill sometime and pick up a snappy polka-dotted bowtie then.  And don’t even think of asking me to be NESter.  I’m never dying my hair that color again after the last time …

Lar:  Hee hee hee.  That was hilarious.  I don’t think you’ll ever be allowed in that bowling alley again.

Nes:  Hmmm.  Nintendo Power and Virtual Boy references all in one intro … it just doesn’t get any better than that, folks.  Since we’re reminiscing about the days gone by, this sounds like a perfect segue into our retro review of the week!  We’ve blindfolded the monkey, handed it a dart and turned it loose on our vast collection of video games.  In hindsight, that was a very bad idea as I don’t think we’ll ever get that smell out of that room.

Lar:  Oh.  I thought that was you.

Nes:  Not this time.  So which game got the dubious honor of being hit with the dart and thus being chosen for our entertainment?

Lar:  Well, seeing as there is a huge hole in the disc thanks to a dart, we’ll need to buy a new copy, but this week's retro review is the sequel to the game that made you want to learn skate slang and listen to grunge, while screaming "dude!"

Nes: “Dood!?!?”  There’s a hole in my Disgaea 2 copy?!?!  I’m going to kill that monkey …

Lar:  No, not the Prinnies, the skaters.  We’re taking a look at Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2.

It's hard to believe it has already been a full year since we kicked off with our pilot version of The Nestlekwik Happy Hour (which you can see has been reposted in its original form below), but even through the rough times, the show has managed to continue.  It was a definite while in the making, but for the one year anniversary of the J2Games segment, I couldn't just sit idely by and let it pass without an entry.  Even though Lar has moved on to other things, I put out a solo effort that puts up a review for a popular N64 title nearing its 10th anniversary and I reflect on a game series that recently recognized its 25th anniversary.  As a whole, our forum over at the site is just shy of its 27,000th view, so please keep supporting us!
