Hoo-boy, it looks like it's going to be another one of those weeks. Not only did I
get in a fight with some uppity gorilla (whose ass we had to kick to get my f***ing arm back!), but I'm forced to drag my lazy, old, retro carcass into work on a holiday; and at NINE a.m., too. I swear, this whole
working for a living because I like eating and paying rent and other things that help keep me alive nonsense, is getting old. Real old. But thankfully, getting old is something of value here at
RFGO!, and I kinda think that's one of the reasons you folks tune in every week. Or maybe it's the free pancakes.
Highlights!
- This podcast goes out to all the fine looking ladies
- Goodwill is good, and there is a dead retro god beneath the store
- We make a host contest, and you will determine the winner
- Favorite Konami game? Too many to decide!
- But Chad has made another top ten list :)
- What the hell happened to Bayou Billy?
- 2D siiiiiiiiiiiiiiide scroll!
- I'm getting a tattoo, cereal
Now that's a lot of highlights, and a lot of highlights signifies an awesome show, does it not? I tend to think that all of our shows are awesome, but that's not surprising since I'm completely biased. You're more than welcome to take your own unbiased listen to this week's product
right over here, and then let us know what you think. Mr. Destructoid has provided a handy feedback device located below this post for you to share your opinions on the show (or if you still want to
send us more haiku, we wouldn't mind; they were awesome). Either way, enjoy your Monday and watch out for gorillas.

Did somebody say Firefly? :-)
Man, you're my new hero! So much good Konami games...
Im gonna faint...
You must enter the Konami code to download the latest RetroForceGO!.
Or 'save as' this link.
Fixed RetroforceGO! 33 Link
For those lucky few who are are RetroforceGO! and can go fix this atros-ma-tory, deleting the extra / after http: will allow non-believers to use the download link on this week's episode.
I think it might be the original War of the Worlds broadcast. Definitely not sure though.
iTunes is being a prick. Can't Download.
Note the extra / after http:
@Dan Gale- that intro is from the old Superfriends cartoon.
I've tried to download it via the site but that doesn't seem to be working either.
ZERO DOLPHINS!
I like when you guys are talking about baby-killing, then someone says "if someone's tuning in half-way..."
Who tunes in halfway to a podcast?
Sorry I don't have anything interesting to say about the episode. Keep up the good work! This is probably my favourite podcast! And I listen to at least... three.
Dozen.
And luzer, grab the MP3s here: http://www.mercurytheatre.info/ (it is from War of the Worlds, as far as I can remember, and that site has it for free)
matchstick man
Seriously, though, I just got home from work and saw all your comments about the issues you're having with the show, whether it be from the RFGO! page or from iTunes. Topher, Droobies and I stayed up last night making sure that all the links worked from three different computers. The reason we did this is because we've switched the way we store and deliver files. If anyone is still having an issue, sorry, I'm forwarding this entire thread to Niero and Tlack in hopes that this will be an isolated case.
And, yes, there is a Firefly reference in the title of the post. + 100 billion for getting it :)
And Bronx, your comment has so much irony, but your not sure why ... yet.
Also, iTunes is still failing.
My question from the announcement post was an attempt to get you guys to talk about single vs. multiplayer in Konami games. It always seemed like they had great co-op play in numerous titles. I guess I was too vague in my attempt to be clever.
I bought myself another Genny today. Fourth one in my lifetime. Sad thing is, I think when I was young and they were liquidating the shit out of those consoles, I probably could have bought it for the same price NIB then as I paid for this one now (Gen2, $25).
Dex, I got you message via Colette. You would be right in assuming that an apostrophe would fuck up iTunes, which is why the actual file name does not include one. (I learned from the NYE show.)
Niero is working on fixing all the problems that everybody is having with the show, at least all the problems we know about. Hopefully, it will be resolved soon and we can go back to our regular scheduled programming.
in the other hand, what number of comments shoul we get to open the posibility of naked pictures of collette bennett...
when i heard it i thought
nah, i'm just kidding!. greetings from chile!
Sweet.
THE CODE!
Tough choice but my favorite Konami games would have to be Symphony of the Night.
Just wanted to follow up on that whole "375" thing that was discussed near the end.
It's actually farther down in the Wikipedia page:
"Konami is represented by the goroawase number "573". "Five" in Japanese is go, changed to the voiceless form ko; "7" in Japanese is nana shortened to na; "3" in Japanese is mittsu, shortened to mi; "573" = ko-na-mi. This number appears in many Konami telephone numbers and as a high score in Konami games like Dance Dance Revolution as an example; The heavy chart of the song MAX300 (DDRMAX) has a 573 total combo (counting double steps as two combos), as well as "The legend of MAX" by ZZ which has a total combo of 573. In some other games like Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, the number is occasionally used as minor self-reference to the company."
