RetroforceGO! episode 96: Pinball photo

With the ladies away at SDCC, Chad, Dyson, Conrad and I got together to record the manliest episode of RetroforceGO ever. If we'd planned it to happen this way, we could have done something super testosterone-driven, but instead we talked about pinball, because that's what was on the schedule. I guess that's still pretty manly when you think about it. Beefy highlights include:

  • Hot oil and headbands
  • Chad gets a special delivery
  • Hey look, PSN
  • Balls, flippers, rails, lights, plungers and noise
  • Chad's encounters with a true pinball wizard
  • The more crap it's got in it, the better
  • Conrad enlightens us on some neat tricks
If you really loved us you'd subscribe to us on iTunes. But if not, you can listen to the show here. I guess that would be fine, too. Enjoy, and check back next week, when we'll be discussing a game that will have most of you very, very excited.

I've got my fingers crossed for a "I wanna dip my balls in it" reference.

I could never remember the name of my favorite pinball machine. It was at my grandparents senior's community. After listening I realized it was Haunted House!

Chad, you missed the BEST (and rare) pinball machine in your top 10 list. The Who's Tommy.

This bastard had a feature where you played "blind" which caused a black slider to cover your flippers and you couldn't see them at all.

EPIC!

I'm pretty sure I love Chad for stating that his most manly music is Prince of Egypt.
