Sorry kids, but we won't be recording this week. Dyson is out of town visiting his little sister, who's just graduated from college, (congratulations to the young Ms. Grigsby!) and the rest of us are taking the day off to hug our moms and bake cookies for orphans. Oh, except Anthony. He's taking the day off to bake cookies for himself and then eat them in front of orphans while they watch, doe-eyed and wrought with hunger.

Anyway, we're as sad about the matter as you are, and we can't wait to get back into the groove next week. In the meantime, please feel free to carry on the RFGO! tradition of posting puppies and asian girls in the comments, ask us a question, or just come say hello. We'll be keeping an eye on this post throughout the day because we miss you too. Also, if you haven't already, go play Dino Run. We'll tell you on next week's show how you can unlock something super-awesome in the game!

Until then, hit the comments anyway. We can still have a little fun.

Speaking from experience, don't try to be Retroforce, because you will never be that awesome. Plus, there's already one shitty community podcast out there. ;)

Well, no Retroforce this week. I'll live. I've already sent Topher most of my asian miku cosplay pics, so I'll have to go with this.


I spent too much time today doing mother's day things to find much else. Hope all is well with you all.
Dead Movie Star's Avatar
Oh wait, for your 50 episode, could you talk about the greatest game ever? I am sure you could spend a good three hours splurging about Metal Storm for the NES, the undisputed best game ever made period. It's been scientifically proven to be the greatest game ever ever.
Excuse me, I am going to play Metal Storm now and fap, as is my custom. METAL STOOOOOOOORM! MET-T-T-TAL STROMORORORO! St0r/\/\ wE-|-@LLLLL! MRWAH!

Alright, that is enough.

Oh, wow. Wow.

Somebody needs to put up a warning on the frontpage that clicking 'Read More' will turn into an anal assault of cuteness with a side of rectal fingering. I thought this was a haven where nerds like I could hunker down and hide. Seems like it's veered closer to a parade in downtown San Fransisco in spring.

Masts to full, hard to port, the ass-pirate fleet is moving out of the dock.

Mixed in these themes:

1. Galaga's Starting Theme
2. Galaga's Challenging Stage (when you get a perfect score)
3. Galaga's Enter your initials
4. Galaga's Enter your initials (when you get the number one high score)

What if the original Galaga had an ending theme?
(Speaking of which, I'm going to go NOT play some emulated Galaga '88/'90 right now.) ;)

Hope my BBCode is correct...

My no-episode-this-week Retroforce testimonial:

having never owned an MP3 player, i decided to splurge on an iPhone a couple of months ago and i thought i'd look into this "Podcast" thing all of the kids on the interwebs are talking about. i subscribed to about 20 assorted gaming and comic book (my other obsession) podcasts and upon listening to my very first episode of Retroforce i was hooked.

i have to say that you guys produce the -and i don't use this phrase as loosely as Chad- BEST PODCAST EVER!!! it's like i stumbled on an yard sale that gives you a free baby dolphin with every purchase of 3 Dreamcast games. i guess i was prompted to cast this +5 Wall of Text because i'm genuinely disappointed that i'm not listening to a new Retroforce today and when i realized that i thought i'd take the opportunity to tell you guys what a good job you're doing.

oh, and thanks to Topher, i'm steadily developing a newfound appreciation for Shmups. i picked up Castle Shikigami 2 (PS2) the other week (hilarious engrish btw) and i've also been playing R-Type 1, 2, and Final, Nanostray, Silpheed (PS2), and i bought Ikaruga for XBLA. i'm also playing Phantasy Star IV, my first Phantasy Star game, on PSP (via the awesome Sega Genesis Collection) but i accidentally overwrote my save with 10+ hours on it. suck.

anyway, thanks for re-igniting the Retro gaming flame within my soul and keep up the great work.

ps- if you ever skip out on an episode again i'll kill you all in your sleep and hide your skulls in a Halo game.g
