Famicom Dojo Podcast: The Fanwank Episode

One thing I Noticed, you talked a bit about trying to get the fds working on a regular nintendo, and that the best thing to do is to get a famicom.  I spent some time looking into this, and I came to the same decision.  However, things do work much better going the other way.  With not just any famicom, but the AV famicom.  I found/decided that the AV famicom pretty much works with everything (with the exception of the games that use the microphone).  An AV famicom with a simple pin adapter for NES games works with everything I have thrown at it, all the NES peripherals, all the Famicom peripherals, FC games, NES games, disk system.  Many of the famicom peripherals even work with NES games and vice versa with no special tweaking required.  It’s the only NES system I need now.
 
In general, what I love about the show and podcast is that it has such a friendly / comfortable feel.  The content is always about things that I have a personal interest in, and it doesn’t feel like I (as the audience) am either being talked down to, but yet everything is explained well enough that it is easy to follow, even when I am not already familiar with the specific topic.  I also really appreciate the effort that you take to include people through the comments and other ways, so basically yeah keep it up your doin great ;)  I think a good new topic would be “New retro oriented games” (I don’t think you’ve done this yet?)
 
Tangent/Rant:
The Hulu being in only the US and Japan is a polical thing, the guys who hold the licenses (MPAA) are trying to push their new copyright laws out to other countries, and the US and Japan are already using them, so they allow their licenses to be used by Hulu in those countries.  A bunch of other countries, including Canada are fighting the new copyright laws they want to put in and they want to gain support for them by holding back Hulu and other similar stuff and blaming it on an “unsafe legal environment” or whatever they call it.
