RetroforceGO! episode 95: Listener questions photo

Happy Friday, listeners. This week's episode was made up entirely of your questions, so if it's lame, it's totally your fault. And if it's awesome, then you should pat yourself on the back for being so good at coming up with interesting things for us to talk about. Also for being cute, because you are. Highlights this week include:

  • Atlus hard
  • ScienceforceGO!
  • Retro retro retro stop saying retro
  • You have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy
  • Unofficial game soundtracks
As always, you can subscribe to us on iTunes to get the show early, or check it out here. We'll be back next week, ever closer to episode 100.

Yeah it was a really random show haha good one though. Planet Earth commentary would be awesome.

Also, since you can watch on GGPO there should be an episode of Stella vs Everyone in everything with commentary. It'd be awesome :-p

Reggie himself could be the host of the tournament for the new Wizard movie. He's just creepy and crazy enough.

Hey by the way you guys could get action figures of yourself at http://www.herobuilders.com/custom/index.htm Its a little expensive so every retroforcego listeners dream may not be fulfilled. :(

Not to double post or anything but I just found this which is much cheaper way to make retroforcego action figures/super heroes. http://imatoy.com/index.html

I hate to bust my boy Aaron Linde's balls, seeing as how he reps for the Seattle homeboy crew, but he needs to spend less time tweeting shit out to RetroforceGO! and start listening to DictionaryforceGO! instead.

From the mother-fucking dictionary (it's like the bible for words, only true):

[i]adj.
1. Retroactive: retro pay.

2. Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of things past; retrospective: “As is often the case in retro fashion, historical accuracy is somewhat beside the point” (New York Times).

n., pl. -ros.
A fashion, decor, design, or style reminiscent of things past.[/i]

As a noun retro exclusively means something new that is an old style. Thus describing the style of a game as retro when it isn't actually old is not only an appropriate way to name the style but the only appropriate way to use that word in that context. Though when describing something as a "retro game" it is perfectly acceptable to be referring to either a game that is actually old or a new one that simply draws on elements of those older titles.

I'd have thought everyone would know this as a matter of course without having to consult the dictionary, but clearly my education was far more elite than I realize.

Baby-forceGaGa episode level -1

Talk about the SEGA GENESIS even if you always talk about Nintendo or Xbox360. Who own a Sega Genesis Console or any Sega console? Are you guys going to see Brüno (Rated Rrr)?
