RetroforceGO! Episode 89: Punch-Out!! photo

Happy Fri ... er, Wednesday, listeners! This week we recorded a bit early, so hopefully our yammering will help accellerate the arrival of your Friday. Or at the very least, make up for the lack of a Podtoid this week, which I can safely say you are better off without in this paticular instance. The horror ... I can still taste it ... Anyway, yes, highlights:

  • Dyson does the finest pirate impression a ninja can do
  • Colette hates on Soda Popinski
  • Carl Winslow!
  • Punch-Out!! Wii: Maybe? You like, yes?
  • Parsley Boots is now a meme
If you subscribe to us on iTunes, you got the show way super early this week. Like woah. If not, I guess you can go over here and get it, but you still won't be as cool as the people who heard it already. Enjoy, and join us next week for the next installment of our Retro Limbo series.

Sleepingagain, you can't stop shirtless Joey Lawrence, you can only hope to contain him.

Hey, I made a sports reference. Where's Samit?

Promo guy was ridiculous today.

This was the perfect length for me to mow the yard! (I'm not slow, I just have a big backyard.) First time I've ever smiled while doing that.

For Dyson.

I wouldn't worry about how difficult it is, Next Level are making it, and the last game they did, Super Mario Strikers on Wii, was difficult, brutally.

I'm staying over at my parents and I'm listen to this, my mother walks in and the first thing she hears is:

Free Blowjobs for everyone!

and that was my moment of retroforce awkwardness, aside from that awesome show

Alcohol is BAD for kids, but surgar drinks which causes obesity and health problems are okay? Right...

Sorry for the double post but I have a suggestion for an episode of RetroforceGO! Episode X-2. You guys should dramaticaly read the script for a hentai with each of you taking you respective roles.

Great episode :D

You guys should really try Hajime no Ippo for the GBA if you want a really good non punchout boxing game. It's a Treasure game so it is good. It only come out in japan though so you'll have to ebay it or NOT d/l it.

I was so confused when my iPod had a new episode of retroforcego on it. However, I'm saving it for Friday--my day would be all screwy without my Friday retroforce fix.

Yes, the arcade Punch-Out did have handles that you actually punched with. You crazy youngsters! :)
