npr the video game uses the location you entered into your profile data and every time you boot up it says "it sure is great to be here in [location]" and there is applause.

i set it so it always says it sure is great to be here in butte, montana

applause

Diane Rehm stands over a freshly dug grave in the cemetery as rain falls down upon her. "They'll pay for what they did to you, Neal" She resolves as she turns her back on the grave. "I'll show them...the TRUE power...OF CALL IN SHOWS!" She steps away revealing the gravestone which reads "Talk of the Nation." The Mega Man 2 theme music plays.

On the last day of talk of the nation a guy called in to say 9/11 was an inside job and for the first time I ever heard listening Neal lost his composure and really gave the caller a dressing down lmao

Terry Gross: Die monster. You don�t belong in this studio!
Tom Ashbrook: It was not by my hand I was once again given flesh. I was brought here by listeners who wished to be my donating supporters!
Terry Gross: Supporters!? You steal men�s souls, and make them your slaves!
Tom Ashbrook: Perhaps the same could be said of all call-in shows�
Terry Gross: Your words are as empty as your soul! Radio ill needs a host such as you!
Tom Ashbrook: What is a man? A miserable little pile of opinions. But enough talk� this is On Point!
Terry Gross: And if you don't want to become a slave to ad-driven commercial radio, call in and pledge your support now.
Tom Ashbrook: That's right, Terry. Public radio brings you the kind of in-depth news analysis you won't get from Dracula, or anywhere else. So call now, at 800-555...

Today on This American Life: "This Isn't Even My Final Form," an episode exploring transformation, true forms, and boss culture. From Yakra disguised as the Chancellor to Kuja's trance mode, we examine the ways our antagonists continue to surprise us. Our show begins in the small town of Corneria, where a man named Garland once terrified the populace. But Garland would prove to be something much more... a surrogate father to a lost princess.

Duke Nukem in Dead Rising: What do you mean there isn't a strip club around, this is vegas!

Duke Nukem in Sonic 4: I'm not running anywhere, these god drat rings all over the place... what the hell are they anyway, cock rings? Hmmn, nope, too small for that

Gears of Wars: What are you rear end in a top hat doing cowering behind cover? Come out here and be a man, I'm sure there is a med pack around the corner anyway you little babies.

God of War: Hey Bro, heard you can get me into hell, I got a few ex's I wanna look up.
