RetroforceGO! episode 53: Amazing at E3 photo

This year's E3 has come to a close, and now it's time for reflection, impressions, and senseless internet flamewars with people who would likely kick the ever-loving crap out of you in real life. It's also time for a new episode of RetroforceGO!, and we've got plenty of the first two aforementioned items, without any of the third. That's how we roll. Niceness is the new badassery. How about some highlights?

  • Semi-epic intro! (If you don't like it I'll never do it again, honest)
  • Butt-ass naked: The only way to podcast
  • XBLA finally gets its very own scale!
  • LOL Anthony x puppy x flowery bedsheets
  • Hands-on with Chad's new dinosaur sweater
  • Needs moar Reggie meat jokes
  • Chad and Colette went to E3. There was stuff there
  • Miyamoto has to pee
  • Whips and stylish leather hats!
  • I love Dale North
There's more in there, too, but I forget. Also, I just had a huge burrito for dinner and it's kind of putting me to sleep. Time for me to take a nap, and you to go check out the show.

"Butt-ass" naked? Wha?

Yes, butt-ass. You know. Naked. You can't be knee-ass naked or forehead-ass naked. Silly.

Nice new fancy intro Topher, although to be honest I feel a little ripped off not hearing the usual intro. Maybe next time do both. :)

AND WHERE THE FUCK IS DYSON?! TELL HIM TO GET HIS ASS BACK HERE NOW!!

The post-break music sounds like a singing japanese loli-GlaDOS.

Because I know you all care: The character in Donkey Kong 3 isn't Mario. His name is Stanley the Bugman, which I guess makes it make more sense that he's chasing Donkey Kong around with bug spray. But he's a trophy in Melee, so obviously he is a very important character!

Anyway, yay RetroforceGo!

OMG XD;; I can't believe people actually thought it was a cool sweater. XD;; you can send me a big smile next week when I see you and Colette!~ :3 I'm really glad you love it. I worked a whole day on it. It was worth every stitch on it! :D <3

I hope Dyson comes back from his crazy adventures!

I love hearing Miku in the middle of the show~ :3 wonderful touch Topher~

Anthony and things associated with happiness? Never?

Hope you guys enjoyed the show, because I didnt enjoy getting my kneecap beaten in by a baseball bat 20 minutes ago.

Whats the ending theme for retroforcego? I've always wanted to know!
DanGale's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/18/2008 20:47
DanGale
@Projectexodus

It's 'Hexadecimel Genome' by Bitshifter. Find it here. Sorry Topher, I know that helping people find the theme is your forte, but I thought I'd save you the trouble :)

By the way Chad, I totally thought you wasn't going to give me a shout out, you managed to surprise me. Although you didn't tell everyone how jealous I was of you. Nor did you answer the question of letting me sleep in your bed.

@Topher

What is the title of that Miku song?

Also, you are doing quite a solid job hosting Chad. Glad you all took the time out of your busy schedules to make an episode!

Excellent opening music with the Katamari blend. Plus, the dolphin sound effects and Chocobo squeals were an excellent touch. Bravo!

Good to know that the new Banjo game is fun :)

Also weird names are weird. Someone should compile a list for Dyson so his mind doesn't bend every time he tries to say some of the usernames. Just sayin.

I have a 7 hour car ride ahead of me tomorrow, so now I'm having to hold off on listening to this AND seeing The Dark Night!! Worst day ever...

However, when I do get to listen to it tomorrow, I'm sure ears will bleed because they won't be able to handle how awesome it is. I'll just put it on repeat and listen to it for 7 hours straight.

Chad is my hero.

Also, you guys are awesome for reporting on the small/overlooked games of the convention. I was sad because most websites were either ignoring them or didn't know they existed.

That intro...is so epic.... I don't have time to listen to the podcast RIGHT NOW, but I am going to listen to it when I get home. But overall this was a much better way to start what's going to be a really shit day off really well. Thank you <3

I loved the Igarashi and Miyamoto stories at the end. But hey Colette, just so you know: Iga didn't work on any Castlevania title until Rondo of Blood. ;) But I'm sure you knew that, right???

I really hope Rev Anthony doesn't hate me now for posting that picture, mostly because we will both be at ASU this fall, should I fear for my life?

Wow I just found I won this weeks contest for posting that picture, that's what a get for savoring the podcast over a couple days. I sent a PM to Chad with my address, someone correct me if I'm supposed to do something else.

This is AWESOME!

Hey guys, haven't had a chance to listen to this episode yet, but I have a question about last week. What is the name of the song at the very beginning of that episode? That would be the one that has all the la,la,la; I easily recognize the superfriends theme. Thanks.

I LOVED that intro!! I've always thought that RetroforceGo needed a more upbeat intro. I hope you continue to use it.
