Before anyone panics and starts knocking down old ladies in the street, RetroforceGO! is not going to be gone all summer. In an unfortunate coincidence, Colette is going to be taming wild chocobos in the heart of the South American jungle, Dyson will be tasting Pizza Rolls in every country of the world, Topher is traveling to Asia (for obvious reasons), and Rev and I are scoping out volcanoes for our battle to the death all at the same time. Since Skype is unfortunately not available in any of these places (and my admittedly ludicrous idea of recording a show by carrier pigeon was shot down), RetroforceGO! is taking a small hiatus.
I know, I am upset about it as well – just ask the tears that are cascading down my cheek as I type this. RetroforceGO! has become such a part of my weekly routine that I don’t know what I am going to do with myself for the next few Sunday nights. Curl up in the dark shadows of my loneliness? Take up (gasp!) Sudoku?
We are not sure of the exact date yet, but we will most likely be returning in early July. So, what are you all going to do without the dolph-o-meter, yard sale, and chocobo rating scales? I won’t ruin anything, but check Destructoid this Friday for a little surprise that should hold everyone over until our grand return in just a few short weeks.
In the meantime, pull out those old consoles, catch up on some classic retro goodness, and have a fantastic summer. We are going to miss you so much, but will be back before you know it.

But good for you guys getting a few Sunday nights back!
I'm looking forward to Friday surprises.
You forgot to add that endorsement, Chad.
then /wrists
But I must have that Goemon episode when you come back! : )
Have a fun summer though, I expect a super long episode with lots of awesome apocalypse stories.
Mondays just won't be the same without hearing those familiar voices.
Hurry back Retroforce!
love younz much <3
How dare you hosts have lives. It isn't fair to us who don't have lives.
Also, I just noticed that I'm encouraged to place a witty comment or image but warned to keep it SFW. Well, if Sterling can say Cunt every 5 seconds, what are the Dtoid standards for SFW?
If you go to my blog you will see that I am trying to organize a Dtoid get together at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Hamza claims Chad that you and Colette were going and I was wondering if you would be interested in getting together with other Dtoiders if I can pull this off.
And if you are interested can you tell me which days you are going and if you know if anybody else is going?
fuck.
Why..why! I already miss you guys.
NOT AMAZING!
No, god damnit.
You would do this the very MOMENT I'm out of school and have nothing to do!
Well, I've got your first 20 episodes to catch up on :)
@Blarg, anything that won't get the whole DToid team arrested :P
Enjoy your vacation guys, you've more than earned it from all the awesomeness you put into the shows!
Goodbye Retroforce.
Have fun on your vacations
Learn awesome stories
To tell us when you come home
'Till then, THE WORST WEEK EVER.
We'll muss you guys:( . Be sure to make a show about your vacations when you guys get back. :) :) :)
Good excuse to re-visit some old episodes for my fix, I guess.
<3!
Time to start up RetroFarce.
Sad puppy is sad ;_;
If Podtoid goes on hiatus, I'm going to slit my throat. Wait, no, that won't stop Rev. I mean, if Podtoid goes on hiatus, I'm going to adopt a kitten and NOT kill a puppy.
