Talk to the Retronauts About Zelda - Live!

When we brought theRetronauts podcastto an end last fall, it wasn't for spite, malice, or lack of love. The simple fact is that we simply lack the classic-games-loving manpower around the office to talk about the medium's history for a couple of hours every week or two. We intended to switch over to a video format, but that fizzled out when we lost our video producer...the following week. D'oh.

At the same time, we really love hosting our semi-annual live panels at Penny Arcade Expo (in fact, you can come catch us talk about the 16-bit console wars in a few weeks at PAX East 2011!). Your energy, enthusiasm, and feedback give us a lot to go on. Obviously, though, we can't bring people together to participate in live recordings in our office every week.

But what if we could split the difference?

Tomorrow, we'll be giving it a shot. From4-4:30 p.m. Pacific Time(7-7:30 p.m. Eastern) Friday, Feb. 18, we'll be taking to the studio and opening up a phone line to field your questions and thoughts on the topic of the week:The 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. The original Zelda launched in Japan on Feb. 21, 1986, and on Monday we'll be posting the recording of our session in the studio to mark the occasion.

Want to participate? Please do! You can reach us in that 30-minute period at415-547-8778. Please keep your comments on-topic, and bring your love of all things Zelda. Except the DiC cartoon; it was pretty awful.

Spread the word! Tell your friends! If this works out, maybe there's new life yet for this Retronauts thing. We'll talk to you soon.
