It's 1am, I've just this minute got home from watching a long production of King Lear, but I'm listening to this anyway. I can spend the next hour relaxing with a show while re-hydrating myself from the last eight hours of drinkless weariness, before collapsing indefinetly. It'll be a good night.
Johnathan Holmes, speaking as a man named John-Charles Holmes and having heard you speak instead of simply reading your blog, I'm fairly convinced you and I may be the same person if not distantly related. It's kinda weirding me out.
Honestly, I really don't listen to podcasts, very much, but I'm really enjoying Bit Transmission. The chemistry between you three is infectious. =) I'm hooked and will be coming back. Thanks a lot! ;)
Holmes, your honesty is awesome! I didn't cry the first time I saw the trailer for SMG 2, although, pure excitement, beyond words, over took me. This, actually, happens every time I hear about or see a sequel to a Mario game. I'll never forget reading about Super Mario Bros. 2 in the Nintendo Fun Club News letter.
Colette, I totally agree with you regarding Metroid, Metal Gear and Natal(motion games), afraid to admit. Although, I've beaten and loved Metroid and Super Metroid, the Prime series escaped me. I am, very much, looking forward to Metroid: Other M though!
Conrad, fucking hilarious! I, too, can only play Heavy Rain in short bursts. Some of the button combos do make you feel like you're playing finger twister. Shit.
Anyway, great show, guys! Thanks.

Also, I realize downloading games on the Wii can be, somewhat, a pain, but you don't have to input your county. Wow, I just saved you step, Conrad. =P No doubt it's a hassle, but, as Holmes pointed out, in the end, a safe hassle.
I enjoy downloading Wii games, as well, Holmes! I never tire of Mario(or Luigi) running, jumping and hitting blocks. =)

Sheepman might not be bad-ass, but the fact that he creates static electricity from his wool (a fact that anyone who's ever worn a wool sweater in winter can attest to) and uses that to teach static electricity safety in a computer factory (highly important safety rules for someone working on computers to understand, always grounds yourself and all that...) is pretty clever and witty.
Excellent show guys, just as good, if not better than the first one. I look forward to episode three.
Um, you guys are on itunes. Under the Retroforce Go feed. I'm still waiting for Episode 101 btw...
Missing me some Concelmo ZOMG's.

Just listened to the first episode yesterday. You guys are on to a good thing here. I've been waiting for the day when tron would show up on a podcast of his own. Definitely added to my official work commute hall of fame.
I think you three have a great format here. The music cues are excellent and give the whole thing a lovely coherence absent from most podcasts. And it helps that the contributors are intelligent and articulate. Keep up the good work.
Sheep Man is absolutely a "Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" reference. He's an electric type, and he's a sheep. Need more proof? The name of his theme song from the OST is "Cybersheep's Dream". Refute that!
I like how, in contrast to Podtoid, you guys don't interrupt one another every twenty seconds. Not raging on Podtoid, just saying.
Also, agreed with whoever made the point that taking an old game and giving it physics or bump-mapping makes it no longer the same game. Pac-Man C.E. and games like it, for all their fun, are homages or spinoffs.
That's not an inherently negative thing but asking for a game like Mega Man 10 to "do something new, gosh," a series defined by its look and feel, misses the point. Semi-relatedly to this and another topic, I think it makes much more sense to port old games to new platforms rather than being dependent on backwards compatibility and emulation, let alone having to play the original on the system it started on.

That was me that said that stuff about not updating old videogame characters. I appreciate your lack of hate for my opinion.
Please write us a question for the next podcast. It would be fun to talk about something you're thinking about.

Wasn't Dead Rising's engine built around the idea of a Mega Man Legends 3? I heard something like that from a while back. Personally, I want to see a Misadventures of Tron Bonne 2!
Cherry Blossom Color Season makes me emotional, too! There's something nostalgically about.
Hating on Mega Man for what he is is like hating the rain for getting things wet. Those people are crazy.
One last thing; there's gotta be an easier way to find these posts. Every gonna update the Podcast page to throw you guys on there?
