Last Game I Finished: Imaginary Range

RetroforceGO! Episode 62: Intro Now in Video Form

I meant to have this intro up with the Episode 34 vid I finished two days ago but GameTrailers can't seem to compress the TurboGrafx episode. I said I wasn't going to do Episode 62, but I figured the intro would be easy enough to do so I did that while waiting for the compression. Apparently either GT doesn't like how I compressed it or iono, but its taken two days of constant retries to get the episode up. I'm gonna change the vid format and hopefully GT will take that. Either way by the end of the weekend I hope to have the TurboGrafx ep uploaded.

As always check out the destructoid.com/retroforce page for all the podcasts and to download the full podcast since I can't make an hour of MegaMan 9 look interesting.

Highlights:


Those are some EPIC pajamas!

also what does everyone think of the "new gamer dictionary" intro...I'm gonna have to put some words in there but how does the vid look.

I'm amazed that you go through all the effort necessary to find clips for all that stuff. The fact that there was a Homestar Runner clip in there (which I guess you had to screenrecord, because they're not downloadable?) blew my mind.

yeah i used CamStudio which was free. I downloaded that in one of the earlier episodes since I wasn't too sure if I could find decent quality versions of some videos. I first used it in the beatemups episode with the Dad n Me footage. I figured if I was stuck on a completely random game that I couldn't get easy footage of I could always put my own footage up. I also had to use it on the Soundvoyager stuff as well.

I loved listening to older episodes again with the video. But its just as much fun with the newer ones. Thanks for doing this.
