@equitasinvictus: It's probably really messed up that I can't even picture an actual Japanese woman producing the first voice in that song. It has to be an anime lady.
Edit: Oh god, that is a lot of train ladies. Why can't I turn this off? WHY?

I don't know, maybe the same reason why this thread will always live even if the train never comes back. This song is a metaphor for the NDX, hence lyrics like, " ♫ Train! Train! I love my station! " Either that or I'm really really going crazy...
Is the train late? It seems like it is late, right? Don't worry I got time, it'll come eventually, I'm just gonna close my eyes for a second, don't wanna be tired when I board the train...choo...ch...
I really wanted to go back to the Rick "The Ricker" episode, but alas, it didn't seem like there was a playable archive anywhere. So I took care of that.

@kentobi: I've only ever heard bits and pieces of NDX, so thanks for this. It'll probably be great listening to the hours of the undoubtedly timeless content of this podcast.
@kentobi: Are the audio versions still hosted somewhere or should I just rip the videos from youtube and then convert them to audio-only? I look around every once in a while for an RSS feed or website where they're hosted but I never find anything.
@ajamafalous: The Mega link is still active. There's no active podcast feed on the site, and the Wayback Machine can provide some of the original audio on Jeff's blog, but not all of them.
@kentobi: Awesome, thanks. Yeah, I had tried wayback machine too, but noticed it didn't work for many of them (specifically the Ricker episode, which is the one I wanted the most).
I think it is time for me to finally listen to these. Been going through the BCs in order and I forgot about how much I enjoyed the DSIware releases. I listen to them when I hit the 2011 podcasts.
I thought that Jeff had moved all of these someplace safe where they were still accessible... guess not...
Okay, look, if anyone wants to host them I believe that I have all of them (of course I can't be 100% sure as they're on a machine at work [shhh! don't tell them])... prod me and I'll verify.
Jeff did tweet a link to all of them, but that was quite a while ago now. I'd guess at least a year.
I have all of them on my phone and have gone back to them probably once a year. This may be weird, but I'm pretty sure that the NDX run was my favorite thing Giant Bomb has ever turned out. Just all over the map in a wonderful way, all the more impressive because it's (usually) a one man show. Sometimes he's excited, sometimes disappointed, sometimes lovelorn, sometimes has special guests, sometimes is playing Mortal Kombat or Faxanadu instead of paying attention, sometimes on the attack against other digital platforms, and sometimes he puts a full fucking Bombcast within the episode.
If I ever had to answer the really dumb question "what podcast episode is your favorite podcast episode ever?", I'd probably reply with the NDX Ricker episode.
