Dyson
In today’s episode: Chad deals with addiction while Colette falls deeper into debt from gambling; meanwhile, Topher is diagnosed with a rare, but incurable, bucket disease; and Dyson is still missing after a violent run-in with the police. What will happen? Find out on the latest drama filled episode of Retroforce90210!
Or not.
Seriously, today’s show should be a great one. The Core Four brings the awesomesauce once again, laying down the skinny on this week’s DLC, followed by a roundtable discussion about the gaming plague of the nineties: Mascots. Mix contents until fluffy, add a dash of Rev Rant, then bake until golden brown. Now you’ve got yourself some RetroforceGO!
Here are some highlights:
- World Sports Competition has crippled Dyson
- Your dad likes wolves, especially the kind that need saving
- Marcus Phoenix is a giant penis
- We actually answer listener mail this time!
- Colette has a secret, or should I say legend, in her pants

I think you just blew my mind. Yeah, there's bits of brain on my wall. Shit.
In other news, keep up the retro awesome, guys.
We were officially eligible last week. Keep an eye out for us, it won't be long.
I'd say it's an issue of quantity versus time as well as quality. If a series begins appearing every year, or even faster, I begin to stop taking it seriously. I almost thought Splinter Cell was going to turn crappy when I realized how faster Chaos Theory came out after Pandora tomorrow (don't worry though, I know the truth now). When a series like Megaman begins to be mass-produced like it has, I'd say that's when it needs to end.
Games like Zelda and the 'pure' Mario outings (like, not all the stuff that has him in it just for kicks. (Oh haha, soccer reference)), are alright and can continue for quite some time because there's a decent amount of time in between their releases that ensures two things: 1) That we actually want to play it again by the time the new one comes out.. and 2) That there's been enough time for the designers to actually make a good game again.
Mascots only work for Nintendo anymore because they own and develop all their stuff, so there's a certain level of quality that must be achieved. While I think it'd be nifty for Microsoft to release a party game that actually uses recognizable characters (Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, um... the Burger King?) instead of the 'who the hell are these people?' ala Fusion Frenzy, it is of course unlikely. And I hate party games anyway.
I think the music is from Bit Shifter.
