RetroforceGO! Episode 50: That's half of a hundred! photo

While the more astute listener may notice that today is, in fact, not Monday (the regular release day for RFGO!), he or she will be glad to have endured the extra day wait for this week's episode. Why? Because, and this is also a warning, this week's show is all about ... the show. Yep, we do something we've yet to do here at RFGO! by giving the listeners a show about the show from our perspective.

Included in today's show we have never before heard sound clips, along with lots of reminiscing. So much so, that the show length exceeds our normally robust lengths by clocking in at 2:40! Sounds great, but remember there was a warning?

The latter part of the show is all five of us speeding through all 200 some comments that we got on yesterday's post. So by telling you this now, I hope to stave off the "talk about games" comments that may come flooding in. I assure you, next week will be business as usual. Now ...

Highlights! 

  • Rev has Internet SARS -- avoid
  • Chad wants his stapler!
  • YARDSALE!!!
  • Accents are fun
  • Chad as a naughty pirate?!
  • Who happens to be a scamp ;)
  • Salt of the Earth
  • Bunny pump 2000?
  • Pizza Rolls = Pure awesome
  • Chad <3s lists
  • Screw you Trebek!
  • Shut your whore mouth when men are talking!

Give it a listen, folks. We here at RFGO!, could not have made it this far without all of you, so we truly hope that this episode is everything you thought it would be and more. Also, feel free to leave your 2¢ below with your own favorite moments from the show! But before all that, go right over here to the official show page, and then give yourselves a pat on the back for being so awesome.  <3

[Contest winner will be announced next week, along with the soon to be humiliating results from our bet that ******* won!]

iTunes-ing now! A two-and-a-half-hour-plus podcast is great — now I’ll have something to listen to on the flight to SF tomorrow!

This lateness will not do in future. I'll let it slide because long episode is long and thoroughly sexual. Im gonna listen to this after I've watched Casshern.

Yesterday, Gabe from Penny-Arcade gave a sneak peak of the artwork he did for the game and talked about the game and the whole saga.
Supposedly your stats in the game can carry on to the following chapters. Following my game developing common sense, if you start the next chapter stronger, the difficulty should be higher.

Can't wait!

Woooo! Episode 50! Congratulations, guys. Keep up the good work.

I've been away for a while and the first thing I see when I get back to Destructoid is this post, that's pretty awesome.

But first I have to catch up on a few of the previous episodes. It'll be an overdose of RFGO!

My favorite show was the I Miss Arcades episode (because I do). In particular, Dyson's reminiscenses about Galaxy World were awesome. I grew up in the same area as he did and wasted many a lovely, warm summer afternoon in that place playing Super Dodgeball, Shinobi, and Bad Dudes with my equally nerdy friends.

@Prince, I agree, the Arcades episode made me investigate further the art of making a MAME machine, and now I sit looking at a whole lot of buttons and some joysticks, waiting until I can get the time to clean out the garage so I can start working on the rest of it.

Congrats again on the 50th episode. I'm glad you could make it this week Dyson.

Ehhh, there's about 5-10 more good games on XBLA than PSN. WiiWare has FFCC: My Life As a King(IMO).

Chad: Don't feel bad about your word list to document the games you're playing. I use an excel file to document every game I've beaten over the years. I have them organized by platform.

How do people have time to keep caught up on games? I'm ALWAYS behind. :(

STV is a previous sega arcade machine to the naomi board.

These have been the greatest 2 hours of this week already!

I was upset I couldn't listen to it at work but it doesn't matter cause I opened up some beer and curled up in a duvet on the floor and listened to it there. Damn the show was awesome.

Colette! You should have a BEEG RETROFORCE TEEEEETEZ Scale.

Imagine, when something like Tetris comes out, you can give it Five out of Five BEEG RETROFORCE TEEEEETEZ!

YAY! I made Chad go into a laughing fit!

Seriously, though, I wouldn't think you guys would be recording that late, jeez. I wonder if my avatar has been engraved into your minds by now...


Also, robot sex.

Dyson loves himself some Untouchables! I happen to be from the Chicago suburbs and the movie is one of my favorites, especially the "That's the Chicago way!" speech from Conery. Pure win.

Someone else remembers Galaxy World ... sigh. Soooo many good meories, eh?

Also, <3s for everyone.
