RetroforceGO! Episode 28: Mega Man Anniversary photo

#Pew pew pew! #Podcasts #retro #RetroforceGO!

Ladies and Retromen, once again I find myself confronted with the prospect of another Monday, a day that signifies the beginning of the long work week that a good portion of us must endure. Fortunately, to those lovers of Dtoid and retro, respectively, the great gray beast that is Monday is somewhat brightened by the shining light of a new RetroforceGO! episode.

Highlights!

PEW!PEW!PEW! (Of course)

The BEST WEEK EVAR!! :) returns

Chad almost adopts a dolphin

Topher's part-time Britishness offends his Irish ancestry

Oh Snap! Pokeman style

Arkadian Warriors: Not too shabby!

This is the Rev Rant that is going to get me sued

But since I always agree with Rev 100%, you bitches can go ahead and lawyer up

We <3 Mega Man

Chad sets off the Nerd Alert with his admission of Toy Man

Which only makes us love Chad even more

So it looks like today's show will be a good one, unlike this post, which was hastily written before I had to run out the door and go to work (late again FTW!). Regardless, the show was epic as always, and can be easily found right here.

Enjoy!

That picture is pure win. You guys should totally import Pepsi Man for the Playstation.

Cheeburga

I love you guys.

adam wolf

I love you guys, too. My boss loves you too because if it wasn't for this podcast I wouldn't get out of bed on Mondays.

AgentMOO

giggity giggity pew!

king3vbo

epic shoop is epic.

njsykora

Topher is Win. Colette is Fail. For one week and about 5 minutes only.

Colette Bennett

@njsykora - Wow dude, that's fucking mean. Thanks.

Eschatos

Wouldn't Pissed man and Dr. Angry be redundant?

Anthony Burch

Not if you're British.

AgentMOO

2 beats 3 hands down

Hamza CTZ Aziz

Samit Sarkar

The headline for this post should read thusly: �Colette makes picture, hilarity and epic winning ensue�

Seriously, that picture is made of win, and I�ve never even played any of the Mega Man games. Also, screw njsykora; it would appear that he�s a Devils fan. LET�S GO RANGERS!

@Hamza: Also, win.

I��m iTunes-ing this now.

Chad Concelmo

@Hamza,
HA HA HA HA HA! :)

weee! i love mondays

Hint for the RFGO listeners: After defeating Wo Man, you can use her Pearl Necklace weapon to easily dispose of my robot boss. Then use my Porpoise Cannon to destroy Pepsi Man in one hit. Finally, use the Pepsi's Caffeinator weapon to effortlessly take out Slurpee Man, earning you the Pancake Pounder. Even though it goes without saying, the Pancake Pounder makes quick work of Dr. Angry.

AgentMOO

haha, I used to do the megaman boss sketches, I started when Megaman 3 came out and I kept doing the numbers ahead of the game. Megaman 4 was out so I did the roman numerals all the way up to like 11. One or two of the bosses I made were coincidentally bosses they created, so I flipped out when I saw the boss lists.

trydizon

I missed out on last night's post. My Monday has been made. Downloading...now.
READY TO MONDAY NIGHT!

@Colette: The front page art is made of win.

@Toph's boss pic: LOL. "Try my product."

@Chizzo: Toy Man FTW. HUGZ! I remember Nintendo Power's "create-a-boss" section. I submitted "Spring Man." And then Mega Man 7 happened. I'm still waiting for my royalties.

@AgentMoo:
In the third grade, I used to draw mini story books with each page being a boss fight. My classmates did not understand.

Amazing picture. I am downloading it now!!!

"...We�re 8 bit. We�re 2D and HD..."

A single tear dropped from my left eye when I heard that. Beautiful, Topher.

I�ve played through all the classic and X games, and I gotta say the only real contribution from the last games was the Zero gameplay. He got so much better; simpler commands, longer combos and the use of a simple pew-pew-pew blaster :)

But then Axl appeared. Damn.

Fading Star

Colette is made of win and cookies!

Thanks for this episode of RFGO, guys. Good Christmas gift for everyone. Merry early Christmas.

Ah Megaman, one of the gaming world's most beloved characters and veterans. You must not forget the veterans! THEY ARE VETERANS FOR A REASON!

As a side note, Final Fantasy is also on its 20th year. Here is an interesting write-up from Racketboy. Enjoy!

Coonskin05

Thank you for mentioning my comment guyz. And thank you for saying I have a weird name(I guess?). Yall are truly doing the Lord's work.

Sharpless

Brilliant image.

Will someone please tell Linde to make a fucking Podtoid?

Topher Cantler

@njsykora- I'm not sure what it is you're referring to, but GTFO.

Alael

Open-mouthed Mega man happily jumping to his death...

Spartacus

Retroforce team, this heart is for you <3

I poured all of my retro love into those tiny bits of text.

AgentMOO

@njsykora
Collete is awesome, her and Ron on Podtoid made it a hilarious interesting show. With both of them absent from it that cast is now boringsauce, RFGO is the best cast on dtoid.

AgentMOO

D'oh mis-spelled Colette's name

Palidi

Most awesome episode so far! It's so awesome you guys actually mentioned Megaman Soccer(I still actually have an original cart. of it).

Knives

My 9 and 13 year old cousins love Mega Man, it all started with me buying them 8 and X4 on the PS1. I was proud when I found out they got both anniversary collections for the PS2 =).

@Colette
That image rules.

@Chad
I think you needed to bring the Pokemon Snap cartridge to Blockbuster or Toy's R Us to a print station. The game came with a coupon for a free print... I never used it =(.

@Rev
I think you would get people calling you things even if you were "xxxbrownguyxxx", anyway I fully support your cause, Is there a petition I should sign?

GrayFox

lol @ Dr. Angry

madninja

@Chad
You bring it to a Blockbuster and print it there.

Thanks guys for the love. It made me laugh hard. I know everything Topher *glare* *evil glare*!!!

RJG

I love this show, but I'm not going to listen to it today. I'm saving it for the commute tomorrow (Couldn't you have released this by 7am AEST?)

Anyway, I look forward to much PEW PEW!

Twisted Imp

When I used to watch Pokemon/Digimon I would make my own Digimon it was awesome, I had like Tornadomon and it was pretty much a tornado with legs.

monkeyspoon5

OMG CHAD DIED!!!

Seriously this episode was awesome, from the beginning rant thing to the Revrant which was AMAZING. I mean yeah, he's essentially telling people to fuck off and die, but RevAnt, you are very awesome.

Also, Wind Waker fans unite! (That game was soooo great.)

naia-the-gamer

You guys are so awesome ^_^

I should clarify that while I loved 2, 3 is my favorite (just barely). I think we should all get along and agree that Mega Man 2 and 3 are the best ones ever.

I agree Topher that an HD Mega Man 2 and/or 3 would be AMAZING! That's what I was saying by having Powered Up 2 and 3 come out. If they came out in true HD that would be incredible.

My fiancee is really glad you guys talked about the Mega Man to Mega Man X connection. That made his night (we listened to it together. I don't know why he doesn't just sign up for a DToid account. Goober).

LethalHairdo

Oh my gosh. Asking me to choose between Mega Man 2 & 3 is like asking me to choose my favorite testicle...and we all know how attached I am to those things.

Also (cocks) @ Colette: You win so hard. Make that image a wallpaper plz. Kthnx.

@ njsykora: Someone just made my "List of People to Get Battle-Axed in the Face" list.

Dyson

Topher: njsykora is referring to the beginning of the show where you play the Mega Man music, then Colette tries to play Taiko Drum Music music and fails. You know, the part where she goes "I fail"?

Mxyzptlk

Awesome shop!

Topher Cantler

Oh. Well, it was still kinda mean.

Irvine_frost

hey, dr mexico should be forced to play megaman battle network, for being so freaking ignorant about megaman and the real flow of good ideas to the gaming ideas.

C'mon the megaman x saga is not that bad, X3 is really complete. X4 has a really good story, X5 is hard as hell, and X6 is kinda fuck you capcom hard!, but addictive. I haven't played the rest

Hitogoroshi

Great great podcast. Props for mentioning the Mega Man arcade game I really do enjoy playing it on my not modded Xbox.

Also best Rev Rant ever.

Alanar

Great show. This finally made me download Mega Man 1 and 2 on Virtual Console (and the fact that I've got 1000 Wii Points left).

Rancor

Mario is just as whored out as megaman, but they're just as good games, they just took the franchise into different directions, not unlike the paper marios and the sports games ect. I really enjoyed the first battle network game because it was a well made, megaman themed, card type battle game with real time combat, which was new at the time. The zx series is a continuation of the zero series for the gba, which were incredible, old school, and fucking hard games. Also I remember figuring out the "megaman logic" boss beating order was part of the fun> for part one Bomb beats Rock, Rock beats scisor, scisors beat cable(elec), Elec beats fire?(this is true in EVERY megaman even new ones) fire beats ice< The pwered up was great, playing as gutsman and the gang is AWESOME. and the challenges are HARD, why cant this be on xboxlive with the custom level creation and all that. . . So sad.

The Timely Howard

You said in this podcast that right now the X series has more games than the original one, and that's not true. Actually, (not counting spin-offs, of course, because counting spin-offs Mega Man would have way more) the both of them have the same amount of games. Mega Man goes to 8, and X goes to X8 (the only bad game in that lot being X7).

So, what this really spells out is that they need to go out and make us a new series.

ChaZHD

Great show guys. How about an episode on just classic Nintendo Power magazines. That would be cool. ALso, pardon me if this has ever been mentioned, but Chad, have you ever played classic Nintendo on consoleclassix.com ? They seem to have the legal loophole figured out.

Keep up the weekly shows!
