It's the first Brawl in the Family Podcast! This was recorded on February 27, 2013.

TimeSectionDescription
00:01[Act 1] IntroductionMatthew and Chris introduce a potential new chunk of BitF, complete with a new theme song and a few familiar themes you may recognize.
01:28[Act 2] Game Discussion: Fire EmblemSeries newcomer Matthew has finally opened his heart to this long-neglected franchise, and it is good. He details what makes the game so compelling, and why Nintendo fans should give it a chance. Later, the guys talk about Nintendo's odd handling of digital distribution.
23:07[Act 3] Comic Talk: 467/468Phantoon's odd optical orifice is discussed here in more detail than anyone would probably want to know, as well as the original idea for comic 468 - Magic Tomes. Rated E10+ for talk of mythical Japanese monsters that have an eyeball for a butt.
32:52[Act 4] Why Did They Do That? Nintendo DoomsayersA section built for a little venting, Matthew directs a bit of uncommon ire towards the constant negativity floating Nintendo's way. The guys chat about post-launch droughts and what Nintendo can do to help their perception.
42:33[Act 5] Leftovers: Trauma TeamAn impromptu segue gets everyone talking about the semi-overlooked Wii classic, Trauma Team. Chris discusses his fresh thoughts on the game, having just beat it, while Matthew remembers it fondly.
45:57[Act 6] Music Break: "Fire Emblem Main Theme"This section is all about giving you guys a remix straight from Matthew's (dad's) keyboard. This time around, in the spirit of the podcast, the Fire Emblem Main Theme.
48:00[Act 7] Closing CommentsThat's a wrap! Please disregard the comments about the store for now, as we had to close it for a bit! But we hope you enjoyed listening.
48:43[Epilogue] Patty and Selma's Amazing Duet
