Episode 929: James Jones – The Neanderthal Art Critic – Radio Free Nintendo

I’m diving right into this without a safety net, so bear with me—this might be a wild ride. So, aurochs in cave art, right? Last I checked, most of the cool stuff, like Montignac-Lascaux art, is from the Magdalenian crowd, those human folks from, oh, 20,000 to 10,000 years ago. I mean, Neanderthals did their thing, fingers and dots and whatnot. But trust me, it looked like their art teacher fell asleep halfway through the class. So, to put it bluntly, their art was… well, let’s just say it didn’t win any awards.

Oh, and I’m not digging up any sources for this. Except for spelling Magdalenian and Montignac-Lascaux, ‘cause I don’t want to butcher those. Imagine me pointing defiantly at fact-checkers, saying, “Go ahead, prove me wrong.”

Picture this: James, not your forehead-browed Neanderthal critiquing in a beret. More like a comedic twist on Hot Tub Time Machine, but better.

Anyway, Jon snagged that new Switch 2 from bestbuy.com. Yep, it’s here! He’s our Mario Kart guide, and let me tell you, everyone who has the thing is just getting wrecked left and right. Imagine Jon, red shells raining down, but it’s strangely zen. New Splatoon single-player sneak peek too, but that’s a story for another day.

Moving on. We pause for sanity, kinda mandatory, huh? Then back in action. Guillaume’s going on about F-Zero GX on that Switch 2, thanks to the Expansion Pack. He’s calling for a gaming revolution, but I’m like, nah, not my jam. Meanwhile, he’s tearing it up in Valfaris, packing guns that’d make any action hero jealous.

Greg jumps in, eyeballing that Switch 2 patch for Splatoon 3. He’s raving about HDR and frame rates like he’s seen magic unfold. I swear, I should invoice Nintendo for this free publicity.

And yeah, me, James, your humble narrator, messing around with Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time on Switch 2. I’ve met time thieves before, but as a cute kid? That’s new. Just started, so I’m in tutorial land. More next week—if life doesn’t throw a wrench in it.

As for those ancient scribbles, send them my way.
