RetroforceGO! Episode 44: Cblog exclusive coming tomorrow photo

God, what a weekend. We're back from Cancun, and to cap off the epic times that were had by all, we recorded an epic episode of RetroforceGO! Unfortunately, there were also epic technical difficulties and terrible audio problems.

To be honest, the sound quality is abysmal and we don't feel right releasing it as an episode. However, just because it sounds terrible doesn't mean you won't get to hear it. Instead, we decided that since we had so many awesome community members participating in this episode, we're going to release it exclusively in the Destructoid community blogs. This was the first time we've recorded with all four cast members in the same room, and since so many of you were there with us, we want to make it available only to you.

Our iTunes, Feedburner and RSS listeners are going to miss out on some of the most fun we've ever had recording, but as Destructoid readers, you'll still get to hear episode 44, because we heart you. Just be warned that it's full of echo, feedback, and all kinds of other gremlins.

Dyson is still editing and trying to make it as listenable as possible, so it won't be ready until sometime tomorrow. Keep an eye on his community blog, add him to your friends list if you haven't already, and you'll get to hear our awesome yet crappy Cancun episode tomorrow!  

Also, just for fun, gallery pics below.

I'm not kidding, it sounds like we're talking into tin cans in a locker room. Good show, though, if you can get past it sounding shitty. :D

I can't wait either. Even if it's the most technically bad sounding episode, I don't expect it to be anything less than the best episode ever, and that's not just Chad-esque hyperbole talking.

I'm excited to check this out. Maybe the audio glitches will make Chad sound monotone and Topher sound excitable.

Margarita fueled RFGO! in Cancun?

I'm willing to wait an extra day or two for that.

There may be an upside to all the sound issues; they might be useful in figuring out how to make the PAX episode sound as good as possible :D

I think for PAX we'll have to get separate wireless microphones like they do on tv shows. Or maybe just one really large one? Not sure, but something needs to happen. The sound quality on this is absolutely terrible :(

Regardless, the show must go on! Oh, and Dale North is sending the video footage to Husky. The idea of using the PXL 2000 to record didn't happen, because it doesn't work anymore.

This just made me realize that Dyson is Ringo Starr.

Also PAX should have a single big recorder in the middle of a room full of Dtoid and retro games =O.

IKARUGA!!!!!!!!!

ahem... sorry about that. Also looking forward to listening to the show no matter what the audio quality.

I listened to CAG Foreplay Robot-voices episode all the way through, this can't be that bad.

I think everyone pretty much agrees that we don't care how bad it sounds, we just want to hear what you guys were up to. It wouldn't be a proper week without my fill of RFG, man. Gots to have that shit!!

Hey everyone, this is my official first witty comment...

Sadly, no. They wouldn't let us climb up the pyramid because some old lady fell down the steps and busted herself up, then sued the pyramid.

I wanted one of those skeleton dudes so bad, but I didn't have room for one in my bags. I wonder if the Mayan villagers have a webstore.

That sombrero looks almost exactly like the one my sister got in Cozumel. I'm really looking forward to this episode now, technical difficulties be damned.

Screw exclusivity, half of Podtoid is filled with quality issues, from lag to heavy breathing on the mic duo to masturbation of someone.

Yeah, I won't let go of this.
